In "Theology in Turmoil" Alan Sell examines the controversy between conservatives and liberals. The perennially important question "What is the Christian gospel?" was, writes the author, "thrust to the fore in that debate between theological conservatives and liberals which was at its height between 1890 and 1930, and of which echoes may be heard to this day. In this book I seek to trace the roots of this debate, to outline its course, and draw some lessons from it."
