In 2004 a process was initiated that provided an opportunity for those in the Evangelical Free Church of America to re-examine and finally to reaffirm their central theological convictions. In 2008 the EFCA adopted a newly revised Statement of Faith. This book seeks to give clarity to the theological convictions contained in that Statement-spelling out what is affirmed and what is denied (and what is not addressed). Beyond that, it expounds these convictions-helping the reader understand and appreciate the wonderful truth contained in this brief and concise confession.
Quite simply, the goal in formulating this new Statement of Faith was to set forth "sound doctrine that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God," which he has now entrusted to us (1 Tim. 1:10-11). The EFCA believes that our essential theological convictions are vitally connected to this gospel, the evangel, as that gospel message has come to us through the biblical and historic stream of Evangelical Christianity. As an exposition of Evangelical convictions this book will be useful both in the EFCA and in the broader Evangelical world.
This theological exposition speaks clearly but, as much as possible, without technical theological terms so that it can be profitable for all believers who need to be grounded in the essentials of the faith. Moreover, the theology set forth in this exposition is doxological-that is, it ought to lead us to exalt the greatness and grace of our God. As Paul instructs Timothy, "What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you-guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us" (2 Tim. 1:13-14). Evangelical Convictions was written with the prayer that it may be an instrument of the Spirit to help those in the EFCA, and faithful believers everywhere, to guard, and to bear witness to, the good deposit of the gospel.

Evangelical Convictions
By Todd Hansen
If we call ourselves Evangelicals, what do we mean by that? What do we believe, and, more importantly, why? Written as a "fleshing out" of the doctrines of the Evangelical Free Church (and published and marketed by the EFCA), Evangelical Convictions is both a Gospel primer and a textbook for understanding the essentials. It's laid out in a textbook format, so it's easy to use as a reference. But it's written in clear, clean and compelling language, so it's also a good read.
I think it would be a great idea for every Evangelical Free Church to get this book into the hands of its members and attenders, but it's highly recommended for anyone who would like to know more about the "glorious gospel of the blessed God." (1 Tim 1:11)

"A [Thorough] Theological Exposition of the Statement of Faith of the Evangelical Free Church of America"
By Justin J. Bachtell
Contained within this book is a well-researched, well-defined, and well-versed explanation of the theological doctrine behind the statement of faith of the EFCA. If one were to study this academically, it will prove to be an invaluable resource to have as the building blocks to any piece of work by an evangelical believer. Not only does it serve as an academic resource, but it can also be used by anyone who desires to get a strong and comprehensive understanding of the faith and beliefs of evangelicals, specifically the EFCA. I would recommend this to anyone who desires to gain a stronger grasp of the ecclesial roles of the church, the power works and glory of the triune God, and to learn where we as God's creation fit into the picture.

Evangelical Convictions is dense...like a pound cake.
By Matt Mitchell
The book is a very dense systematic treatment of 10 major Christian doctrines. It is full of scripture references, theological reflection of each phrase in the statement, explanations of historical theology and the development of Free Church teaching, the drawing of clear boundary lines (affirmations and denials), and much more (including a very helpful appended explanation of how congregationalism functions in the EFCA--great to see that in print). It is the first place I will go to show anyone what we believe.
And it's written in a winsome, humble, warm and yet courageous prose.
It won't be easy for everyone to read. Evangelical Convictions is not full of folksy stories and anecdotes (though there are good illustrations made to explain various points). It is dense, but like a pound cake--thick, rich, and theologically sweet.
Evangelical Convictions is encouraging to me, not just because I agree with everything in it (even the various "balances" struck throughout seem judicious and well put). But also because it points to some theological health in the EFCA.
When the leaders of the EFCA engaged our whole family of churches in a process of revising our statement of faith, I was ultimately encouraged. There were some rocky spots in the process, of course, but the leaders handled the whole thing with strong integrity, humility and courageousness.
I was really pleased to be a part of a family of churches that (among other things) valued doctrine enough to spend a lot of time on it, to improve what was already good, to include as many as could be included without compromising the gospel, and to move from theology to doxology.
Now, there is a book that captures it all.
I chewed on wonderful resource for over a month, reading it in snatches.
That's just the way to enjoy a theological pound cake.
