Winds of Doctrine: A Survey of Contemporary Theology

Contemporary Theology is generally defined as a study of theology and theological trends from post-World War I to the present. This 174-page book champions historical Christianity and the sufficiency of Scripture against aberrant theologies of the modern day. It addresses: Fundamentalism, Evangelical-ism, Neo-orthodoxy, Neo-Liberalism, Pentecostalism, the Charismatic Movement, the Vineyard Movement, Post-Vatican II Catholicism, Secular Theology, Theology of Hope, Liberation Theology, Process Theology, The Jesus Seminar, Feminist Theology, Theologies of Success, Theologies of Eschatology, the New Age Movement, Postmodernism, and the Emerging Church. The purpose of this small volume (174 pages), which was originally a series of lectures delivered at the Haiti Bible Institute in October of 2013, is simply to introduce this subject matter, not be an exhaustive treatment. Hopefully, it will both serve as a primer for those who want only the basics and also serve as a solid foundation on which to build for those who want to go deeper in such discerning studies. Special emphasis is placed on the fact that most contemporary theologies have an extremely low view of Scripture, which is repeatedly demonstrated in each topic of study.
