Beskrivning

The essays in this seminal text are John Webster’s early forays into the field of Christian dogmatics. With a brand new preface, readers can rediscover these powerful examinations of the nature of the Bible and its interpretation; the place of Jesus Christ in modern theological culture; and the basis and shape of human agency.These essays press contrast and give voice to the unease Webster felt about the theological environment he was writing in. Ultimately, this text boldly indicates how dilemmas or inadequacies in modern treatments of dogmatic topics might be clarified by more direct employment of language about God and the gospel.The classic chapters present the work of one of the world's most-regarded systematic theologians at his creative best.
