Description
This book provides an in-depth and rigorous examination of key 20th-century American thinker, Paul Holmer; his work in both theology and philosophy; and his under-explored writings on Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein.
On Paul Holmer identifies what is singular and significant about Holmer's work and celebrates his capacity to cut through conventional classifications and categories. It introduces readers to his thought through discussions of key issues, such as: philosophical theology, faith and reason, the church, society, science, culture, scripture and education. Rallying against the obfuscating methods of contemporary theology and philosophy, Holmer's thought is an important corrective to literal and absolutest thinking, and continues to be a unique voice in theological and philosophical debates today.

-
This anthology marvelously captures Paul Holmer's refreshingly maverick style of theology and its antecedents in Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein. Holmer was in the vanguard of the movement to situate theological reflection in the actual practices that constitute the Christian life and in passionate concern for the shape of one's own existence. Highly recommended.
