This
Reader
brings
together
texts
which
articulate
or
debate
with
the
mode
of
theology
most
commonly
identified
as
"post-liberal".
It
provides
an
introduction
to
this
major
contemporary
theological
option
for
students
of
systematic
theology.
The
wide
sampling
of
theological
writing
represented
here
seeks
to
move
beyond
the
dominant
conventions
of
modern
theology,
by
retrieving
aspects
of
the
classical
Christian
tradition
and
exploring
its
potential
for
creative
and
constructive
theology
in
the
modern
context.
The
volume,
introduced
by
two
substantial
editorial
essays,
is
divided
into
three
sections.
First,
there
are
readings
which
treat
major
doctrinal
areas
as
they
have
been
handled
by
'post-liberal'
theologians.
Second,
there
are
readings
which
treat
issues
of
the
methods,
norms
and
sources
of
theology.
Third,
there
are
critiques
of
'post-liberal'
theology
from
a
variety
of
perspectives.
Each
reading
is
introduced
and
contextualized
by
the
editors.
Part
one
of
the
volume
introduces
the
book
with
two
substantial
editorial
essays.
Part
two
contains
readings
which
treat
major
doctrinal
areas
as
they
have
been
handled
by
'postliberal'
theologians.
The
readings
in
part
three
treat
issues
of
the
methods,
norms
and
sources
of
theology.
Part
four
comprises
critiques
of
'postliberial'
theology
from
a
variety
of
perspectives.
The
volume's
Afterword
concludes
with
the
profoundly
influential
work
of
George
A
Lindbeck,
which
did
so
much
to
stimulate
debate.
Each
reading
is
introduced
and
contextualized
by
the
editors.
