Here We Stand!: A Call from Confessing Evangelicals for a Modern Reformation
A call to return, not to nostalgia, but to the gospel that reforms the church in every age.
The church in sixteenth-century Europe needed a reformation. When Martin Luther posted his ninety-five theses to the church door in Wittenberg in 1517, he did not realize that four years later it would lead to his appearing before Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms, where Luther would make his famous declaration, "Here I stand "
Thirty years ago, convinced that modern evangelicalism had grown worldly, a group of evangelical leaders met in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to address this need. The document they produced-the Cambridge Declaration-affirmed, "Because of this crisis and because of our love for Christ, his gospel, and his church, we endeavor to assert anew our commitment to the central truths of the Reformation and of historic evangelicalism."
Commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the Cambridge Declaration, this revised edition includes the original eight chapters, arising from the papers presented at the 1996 Cambridge meeting, along with three additional chapters by Sean Michael Lucas, Carl R. Trueman, and David F. Wells, and an Afterword by Michael Horton that look at the ongoing relevance of the Cambridge Declaration for us today.
