This book will consolidate that reputation still further. It is a magisterial treatment of the origins and nature of doctrine, worthy to be ranked alongside George Lindbeck's classic The Nature of Doctrine. It is essential reading for all concerned with the nature and future of doctrine."--Alister McGrath, Professor of Historical Theology, Oxford University, Director, Oxford Centre for Evangelism and Apologetics. Observing a strange disappearance of doctrine within the church, Kevin Vanhoozer argues that there is no more urgent task for Christians today than to engage in living truthfully with others before God. He details how doctrine serves the church-the theater of the gospel-by directing individuals and congregations to participate in the drama of what God is doing to renew all things in Jesus Christ. Taking his cue from George Lindbeck and others who locate the criteria of Christian identity in Spirit-led church practices, Vanhoozer re-locates the norm for Christian doctrine in the canonical practices, which, he argues, both provoke and preserve the integrity of the church's witness as prophetic and apostolic. 0aTheologyxMethodology.00aBiblexCanonical criticism.07aBible.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01356024 7aCanonical criticism.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01907301 7aTheologyxMethodology.2fast0(OCoLC)fst0114958017aChristendom.2gtt17aMethodologie.2gtt17aTaalwetenschap.2gtt07aTheologie.2swd
