Customer Reviews

An excellent companion to the works of Jungel and Barth!

Gordon Kaufman offers in this book an excellent method for serious students of theology especially within cross-sectional contexts. For years many theology students (e.g., Asians as a case in point), tend to simply chew theological models, symbols, and metaphors without the benefit of critical thinking. This book challenges readers to think critically as well as "construct" theology using contemporary theological resources without necessarily offending traditional methods of theology. Kaufman's thought-provoking arguments echo those which he also expounded in his other works, namely, Theological Imagination, and An Essay on Theological Method.
