Theological Theology Essays in Honour of John Webster [Hardcover]

The areas of discussion include the nature and method of theology, Scripture and its interpretation, Christology and the doctrine of the Trinity, moral theology, and the reading and use of theological dialogue partners. The essays are written by eminent systematic theologians, theological ethicists, and biblical scholars from a wide range of Christian traditions.

The contributors to this volume appraise, extend and apply different aspects of the conception of theological theology . That theology should in fact be thoroughly theological means that theological discourse gains little by conforming to the canons of inquiry that govern other disciplines; it should rather focus its attention on its own unique subject, God and all things in relation to God, and should follow procedures that allow it to access and bear witness to these realities.

This rich and diverse collection of essays in Christian doctrine offers a fulsome and fitting tribute to one of the most significant voices in contemporary systematic theology, a scholar and disciple whose dogmatic insight, gracious collegiality, and cheerful witness has inspired and nourished so many over the years. Addressing in various ways the scriptural foundations and central teachings of the Christian faith, the contributions to this excellent volume attend to matters of doctrinal import that have occupied the work of John Webster for many years, and - in the good providence of God - will continue to do so for many years to come.

The volume really is a treasure-trove of theological theology precisely because its contributors are theologians of the highest caliber who, by and large, have managed to avoid the faddish nature of so much contemporary reflection. -Derek Rishmawy,Reformedish
