Description

Christian Theology: An Introduction to its Traditions and Tasks quickly found a place on the recommended reading lists of British modern theology courses on its first publication in 1983, and its reissue will be widely welcomed. The contributors are drawn from the most exciting and innovative of American theologians, and include William Farley, Langdon Gilkey, David Kelsey, John Cobb and Sallie McFague. No other book summarizes so expertly the state of play in the major areas of contemporary debate.

'This vigorous, expert and timely work fills a need long felt among those who study Christian theology in the British context. It takes twelve major topics from the substance of traditional systematic theology, provides a brief acc ount of their classic formulation, and then exposes them to the multiple challenges of modernity. It is thus both respectful of tradition and unremittingly critical in evaluation. As an introduction to the traditions and tasks of systematics it has no rival.' Extract from the foreword by Stephen Sykes
