Beskrivning

In God’s Patience and our Work Ben Fulford argues that Hans Frei’s theology and ethics offers unheralded but valuable resources for thinking about the social and political engagement of Christian communities in pluralistic societies in light of hope in Jesus Christ. He shows how Frei’s project of recovering the conditions for and shape of a generous orthodoxy runs through his work, offering broad, flexible vision of Christian identity, ethical responsibility and humanistic witness, focused in the person and presence of Jesus Christ. In dialogue with liberation theologies, Fulford draws from Frei an account of divine patience and providence to frame hopeful, pragmatic Christian participation in work for dignity, justice and penultimate reconciliation, rooted in new and deeper contextual reading of his work.

Recensioner i media

"Hans Frei is in my judgement the twentieth-century American Christian theologian who is most important for the twenty-first century. Fulford not only brilliantly demonstrates Frei’s depth, relevance and potential; he also shows himself to be a wise and creative thinker, able to develop further Frei’s key themes, especially in ethics and politics. This opens up an inspiring, intelligent, and practically-oriented way to be wisely Christian today."
