Abstract
The present work deals with the historical and theological foundations of radical evangelicalism and
places it within the context of theologies which influenced it and are similar to it. Radical evangelicalism
integrates insights from various theological roots into a evangelical basal concept. Radical theology
succeeded, through its contextual outworking, in overcoming the narrow focus of European evangelical
theology and yet it remains genuinely evangelical. It is in the position of breaking through
the sterility of academic theology and the dualistic worldview which is peculiar to wide parts of the
evangelical movement by a world view that is turned towards the world. Thus it is proving itself to be
a highly relevant theology for the needs of a divided world. The work develops in three steps. First of
all the historical development of radical evangelicalism will be traced, from its beginning at the Congress
for world evangelism in Lausanne in 1974 to the present day. Thus it will become clear that in the
30 years since Lausanne radical theology has entered the mainstream of evangelicalism. There follows
in a detailed section a setting out of the theology of radical evangelicalism by means of several chosen
themes. It will deal with radical hermeneutics, eschatology, salvation, the meaning of mission and
evangelism and the relationship between Gospel and culture. Finally the social action of radical evangelicalism
will be set out and it will be demonstrated that its energetic theology is at its basic level in
fact a driving sprituality.
