Philosophy and theological discourse

Stephen T. Davis

The fact is frequently noted and bemoaned that contemporary philosophers and theologians seldom communicate with each other on any topic, and certainly not about theological issues. This book represents a fascinating and groundbreaking exception. Eighteen well-known philosophers and theologians, from various schools of thought and traditions, engagingly discuss important issues of current theological interest. Such topics as God, the church, scripture and tradition, the atonement, the Holy Spirit, contextualization, religious ethics and public policy issues, the problem of evil, and models of theological rationality - all are discussed in lively and informed ways. Scholars, students, and intelligent laypersons will all benefit from reading these essays.
