News and Events

“What is meant by the term evangelical appears to be shifting as are many other things in the Christian culture. Where will this movement lead, and what role does Fuller have in the shaping of it at this important juncture in our history and in the life of evangelicalism more broadly? What does it mean to be evangelical today, and what does it mean for Fuller to be evangelical?”

+ Read Dr. Crisp’s guest edited issue of FULLER on the topic of evangelicalism. Coming soon: an audio series from his Analytic Theology lectures.
