Media Reviews
Theological Book Review
The Courage to Be Protestantis an engaging and interesting book and deserves to be read by anyone interested in the current state and development of American evangelicalism.

Bibliotheca Sacra
Fascinating and alarming. . . . [Wells's] warning should be taken seriously by all thinking Protestants.

Reformed Theological Review
In an age that is awash with the desire to be relevant and post-confessional, David Wells's book is a necessary and brave corrective.
Richard Lints
-- editor of Renewing the Evangelical Mission
For a generation David Wells has chronicled the serious loss of a theological center in the evangelical movement and pointed at the need to recover the doctrinal rigor of its Protestant heritage. In this second edition of The Courage to Be Protestant, Wells updates his call to be faithful to the doctrinal shape of Protestantism by critically analyzing the developments in the evangelical world as it has become increasingly immersed and enmeshed in a culture devoid of theological concerns. In a post-truth world, Wells's stinging critique must be taken seriously.
