Genesis and Inerrancy
How Are We Meant to Understand Genesis? Rowland Croucher wrote: Here’s an abridged version of my thoughts on the matter (from my book ‘Recent Trends Among Evangelicals’).

Transformationalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Transformationalism, or Transformational Christianity, represents a fusion of evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, and ecumenicalism that started becoming prominent in the early 21st century.
