Toward a theology for the future
David F. Wells (Editor), Clark H. Pinnock (Editor)
"Since the close of World War II there has arisen a new body of scholarship thoroughly committed to the affirmation of historical and biblical faith. Though its initial concern has been with the biblical text, it has recently begun to show strength in the philosophical and theological disciplines as well. The time is propitious for the emergence of this scholarship and for the emergence of this scholarship and for the publication of toward a theology for the future. Theological structures have collapsed three times in this century, leaving behind a debris of shattered convictions. Firm conviction has been replaced by radical doubt, hope by despair, affirmation by repudiation. Contemporary theology has drifted into a dangerous cul-de-sac. The situation demands that a vigorous restatement of historical belief emerge which will offer a convincing and credible way out. Toward a Theology for the Future amply demonstrates that evangelical scholarship intends to do this, setting as its main goal specific areas of inquiry where decisive action should be taken in the decade of the 1970s, enabling evangelicals to research. More than that, it aims to hold out a healing word to a world whose culture and theology are alike dying." --Publisher
