Word and Church

In <i>Word and Church</i> readers are treated to chapters that examine the field of Christian Dogmatics presenting a clear trajectory in the work of John Webster that moves from interpretation of 20th-century Protestant theology to doctrinal construction. <br/><br/>Webster addresses the modern traditions of Christian divinity and the topics which come to the fore in making sense of these traditions: 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. As a whole the book boldly indicates how dilemmas or inadequacies in modern treatments of these topics might be clarified by more direct employment of language about God and the gospel.<br/><br/>The classic chapters present the work of one of the world's leading contemporary theologians at his creative best. For this<i> Cornerstones</i>edition the author has provided a new preface in which he contextualizes the work within his current theology.
