Emergence of confessing Christians in the mainline -- Discipline, not separation --

The internal collapse -- How confessing Christians are changing their churches -- Be steadfast

Redefining Ecumenism -- The deepening tide of confession -- Core movements of confessing Christianity -- Truth-driven unity

Subject: Today's mainline Protestant denominations seem as theologically liberal as ever. But the real story of change in the mainline today is how confessing and renewal movements are crossing denominational lines to infuse new life into these traditions. Turning Around the Mainline carefully chronicles the roots and history of these evangelical and orthodox movements. Thomas Oden lays out the current issues and major themes of each movement and addresses the concern many confessing churches are facing today: what property rights they have in disputes with their denominations.
