Reviews
Bennett's engaged history serves as a reminder that traditional practices should not be immune from scrutiny. * Doxology *
David Bennett's history of the altar call is the best sort of engaged history. Many historians have commented on the practice of inviting serious inquirers to the front after a service of Christian proclamation as a part of making a decision for Christ. Until this time, however, no one has worked out the history of the practice so well, and only a few have evaluated its theological significance as carefully as it is evaluated here. -- Mark Noll, Wheaton College
