Tfecv Cttitedexy? A great deal has been written and spoken in recent years about "neo orthodoxy" and the old evangelicalism. To be orthodox, according to the dictionary, is to be in "agree ment with accepted standards of faith." Therefore, one is either orthodox or he is not orthodox. For if a doctrine or a set of doctrines is orthodox, it is not new. And if it is new, it is not orthodox. We might well ask ourselves the question, what is so wrong with the old orthodoxy that a "new orthodoxy" must be substituted for it? The great doctrines which have been accepted as orthodox throughout the history of the
Church have included the infallibility of the Bible, the virgin-birth of Christ, the miracles as recorded in both the Old and New Testaments, the vicarious atonement of Jesus Christ, the bodily resurrection, as well as many others. These constitute the orthodox position. If one preaches these doctrines, he is not preaching any thing new. If he is preaching something new, he is either repudiating outright these old and accepted doctrines or at least he is minimizing them and relegat ing them to a place of minor importance in his message. No, the crying need of

today is not for a "new orthodoxy, " or a new evangelicalism, but rather it is for a clear-cut, powerful presentation of the great historic doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ to this generation. The great leaders of the past gen erations who have given us such a glorious heritage preached most effectively to their own generation. We can do no better, today, than to proclaim these same eternal truths in the most convincing and effective manner possible to our generation, in words and phrases that can be readily understood and comprehended by people everywhere.
