Description
Rediscover John Webster's incisive studies on the nature of Scripture and Christian Knowledge. Originally, a companion volume to his other work, God without Measure, this work demonstrates that a spiritually cogent Christian theology requires a clear, calm attention to causes in God's knowledge of himself and his communication of that knowledge to creatures. This work now features a brand new preface that contextualises this work and its influence.
The first part of the volume examines topics on the nature and interpretation of Scripture. A Comprehensive proposal about Scripture and its interpretation is followed by a study of Scripture as the embassy of the risen Christ, and by three related chapters analysing the ways in which widely different major modern theologians have understood the nature and interpretation of the Bible.
The second part of the volume makes a cumulative proposal about the nature and tasks of Christian theology, examining the fundamental principles of systematic theology, the distinctive role and scope of reason in Christian theology, the relation of theology to the humanities, and the vocation of theology to promote the peace of the church. This is essential reading for anybody seeking a deeper understanding of Holy Scripture.
