Story Lines Chapters on Thought, Word, and Deed for Gabriel Fackre Tapa dura - 2002

Información de la editorial

Story Lines is much more than a traditional Festschrift. It is a book reflecting -- and moving beyond -- much of the ferment in twentieth-century theology.

Written by a cast of Christian thinkers responsible for shaping an entire generation of theological inquiry, this volume transforms the changing and conflicted theological scene of the last half century into a clear and steady path for the church of today. Though diverse in orientation -- ecumenical and evangelical, Protestant and Roman Catholic -- these authors share the honoree's commitment to classical Christian teaching that seeks to speak and act in response to the times. The organizing principle of this book is "story, " the master metaphor with which Fackre is associated. Each chapter contributes to the telling of the great narrative of the Christian faith by probing key aspects of its meaning, mission, and ministry for the twenty-first century.
