Suffering Divine Things

Journal of Religion "Suffering Divine Things is an ambitious effort to reassess modern theological assumptions about power and discipline in the Christian life." Interpretation "This book not only demonstrates the author's familiarity with the theological environments of North America and Europe, but also provides ground-breaking insights on how theological institutions (and theologians themselves) may serve the practice of theology in the life of the church." The Expository Times "A real contribution to the current discussion of our understanding of both church and the task of theology. . . As a whole the book may be regarded as a contemporary version of Schleiermacher's Brief Outline, which indicates its importance. The range of debate is extensive, ecumenical, and detailed."
