This accessible yet comprehensive primer helps readers understand the breadth of viewpoints on major issues in evangelical theology, with chapters using the popular multiple-views format. This third edition of a well-received textbook (over 60,000 copies sold) has been updated and revised throughout. It examines positions taken by evangelical scholars on seventeen seminal issues. In addition, it offers end-of-chapter "For Further Reading" sections, an extensive glossary, and an appendix that addresses contrasting views on fifteen additional issues in contemporary evangelicalism.

“An outstanding survey of the diverse theological views within evangelical Christianity”

Roger E. Olson

“I have assigned previous editions of this book in survey courses, and students have benefited from its clear, well-organized layout of major issues and arguments. With this new edition, Boyd and Eddy will continue orienting newcomers to evangelical theology, as well as fostering mutual understanding between those who hold different views.”

Daniel J. Treier

“Never has a balanced text that introduces the core beliefs of evangelicals been more necessary. Across the Spectrum examines key issues in evangelical theology in an accessible manner and offers resources for further exploration across the range of contemporary evangelical thought.”

Jacquelyn E. Winston

“This long-awaited update continues to provide students, pastors, and others with an outstanding survey of the diverse theological views within evangelical Christianity. The updated edition has successfully strengthened its previous discussions and added presentations of new evangelical views and theological topics. Across the Spectrum is an excellent read for students and church groups engaged in an introductory exploration of theology. It aids readers in developing their own theological convictions while maintaining a posture of charity toward those with whom they disagree.”

Jonathan Grenz

“This book is an essential companion for students of evangelical theology! I have found few, if any, texts that provide insights into the varied evangelical perspectives on key theological issues. In a polarized world dominated by vitriolic arguments and social media outrage, the authors demonstrate how the various sides of an issue can be discussed in a manner that encourages deep thought and consideration of alternative views.”
