Reviews / Votes
"'What is most appealing about this collection of essays is his single-minded focus on the power of the Gospel. Whether it be scripture, Christology, ecclesiology or anthropology, Webster keeps in focus the relationship between theological statement and the witness to God's saving activity'. Ralph Del Colle, Marquette University, USA 'John Webster's robust and scholarly account of the Church's relationship to scripture will be a very important contribution to a crucial discussion'. Peter Selby, Bishop of Worcester '... a significant volume... regarded as an expositor of Barth and Jungel, this collection will show [John Webster] to be a creative thinker in his own right'. David Fergusson, University of Edinburgh"More details
