"'Postliberalism represents the leading edge of Christian theology today. George Lindbeck's is the most influential founding voice in postliberalism. And Chad Pecknold has composed the most important recent work on Lindbeck's postliberalism.... Pecknold's remarkable work should be required reading for all who are influenced by or interested in the postliberal turn.' Peter Ochs, University of Virginia; 'An important and fascinating issue for Christian theology is how postliberalism, which has been such a fruitful movement in the late twentieth century, is to develop in the twenty-first century. Pecknold offers a rich, perceptive discussion of George Lindbeck and the debates surrounding his thought, and then constructively goes beyond Lindbeck in dialogue with CS Peirce, recent Jewish thought, and above all Augustine of Hippo. The result is a strong, convincing proposal for a 'scriptural pragmatism' that can engage deeply with scripture, tradition, the church, other scriptural faiths, and pressing public issues.' David F. Ford, University of Cambridge; 'A fresh and persuasive approach to the controversies generated by "postliberal" theological projects. In short, it makes an original and important contribution to current theology and deserves a wide hearing.' David H. Kelsey, Weigle Professor of Theology, Yale Divinity School, New Haven, CT, USA"
