Beskrivning

An analysis of the epistemological underpinnings of evangelical theology, such as how to respond to the rise of postmodern criticisms of foundationalism.In Revitalizing Theological Epistemology Steven B. Sherman addresses questions about what evangelical theology ought to be doing in light of the changing cultural situation. He wonders if the Christian faith should continue to be presented and defended mainly according to the foundationalist principles inherited from the thinkers of the Enlightenment, when growing criticism of modern thought is affecting virtually every discipline. He asks if evangelicalism and its intellectual leaders ought to "wait it out" or whether they should "re-vision" their theology, and offers a constructive proposal for reframing theological epistemology that draws creatively on the work of missiologist Lesslie Newbigin.This book is about contemporary evangelical approaches to the knowledge of God, considering - and suggesting - ways Christian philosophers and theologians envision and make use of theological knowledge in a postmodern context.

'In this insightful book, Steven Sherman explores issues that are at the heart of current debates about the foundationalist epistemology not only with philosophical and theological savvy, but also with a deep commitment to the truth of the Gospel' - Richard J. Mouw, Fuller Theological Seminary 'This book represents a very important contribution for helping us understand the emerging shape of the Evangelical theological voice. Steven B. Sherman provides the reader with an excellent overview of recent developments in chronicling the rise of post-conservative evangelical theology' - Craig Van Gelder, Luther Seminary 'Sherman offers a well-researched and highly readable overview of evangelical epistomology's journey from foundationalism to postconservatism ... His synopsis of the complex development of Pinnock will prove to be a fine contribution to understanding the legacy of this influential theologian'.
