With the preponderance of Biblical Studies titles, it's a pleasure to be able to share some Theology Cornerstones titles with you. And what a way to start it off! John Webster is one of the foremost theologians of our day, and this collection of essays, first published in 2002, provides a sample of some of his thoughts and works on Christian Dogmatics, which incorporates both interpretation of 20th-century Protestant theology and doctrinal construction.
Within the essays are reflections on 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. Webster's main thesis comes clear with the cogency of the unifying idea that these topics could well be clarified though more direct employment of language about God and the gospel.
In addition to the original material, for this new Cornerstones edition, the author has provided a new preface in which he contextualizes the work within his current theology.
