Beyond Foundationalism: Shaping Theology in a Postmodern Context

Front Cover
Westminster John Knox Press, Jan 1, 2001 - Religion - 298 pages

The authors move past the Enlightenment foundational approach to offer a revolutionary methodology for doing theology in a postmodern age. Their method uses three sources: the Spirit speaking authoritatively through the biblical text, tradition providing a historical interpretive framework; and culture as context for constructive theological reflection.
