Theological Theology Summary

Theological Theology: Essays in Honour of John Webster by R. David Nelson

Paying tribute to John Webster's theological works, this volume examines select cardinal Christian doctrines that have been imperative to Webster's research, with essays contributed by eminent systematic theologians, theological ethicists, and biblical scholars from a wide range of Christian traditions. The areas of discussion include the nature and method of theology, Scripture and its interpretation, Christology and the doctrine of the Trinity, moral theology, and the reading and use of theological dialogue partners. These contributors appraise, extend and apply different aspects of the conception of theological theology. The volume argues that, if theology should in fact be thoroughly theological, it means that theological discourse gains little by conforming to the canons of inquiry that govern other disciplines. By analyzing aspects such as the location of the Church's doctrine, the sinlessness of Christ and the interpretation of scripture, this book posits that theology should rather focus its attention on its own unique subject, God and all things in relation to God, and should follow procedures that allow it to access and bear witness to these realities.

Theological Theology Reviews

An impressive volume and [a] most fitting tribute to one of the most significant theologians in British contemporary theology ... The editors should be thanked, not only for opening up Webster's immensely fruitful notion of 'theological theology' but also for producing a fine volume of doctrinally rich essays. * The Expository Times *
Just as John was a colourful, sharp, multifaceted theologian, the essays in this book reflect something of that diversity and variety. And so it should, as in many ways this collection is now a tribute to one of the finest theological voices the United Kingdom has ever produced. ... This superb collection of essays ... belongs in every theologian's library. * Regent's Reviews *
This is a worthwhile volume for all theological libraries, and contains pieces that deserve to make their mark. * The Heythrop Journal *
This rich and diverse collection of essays in Christian doctrine offers a fulsome and fitting tribute to one of the most significant voices in contemporary systematic theology, a scholar and disciple whose dogmatic insight, gracious collegiality, and cheerful witness has inspired and nourished so many over the years. Addressing in various ways the scriptural foundations and central teachings of the Christian faith, the contributions to this excellent volume attend to matters of doctrinal import that have occupied the work of John Webster for many years, and - in the good providence of God - will continue to do so for many years to come. * Paul T. Nimmo, University of Aberdeen, UK *
The volume really is a treasure-trove of theological theology precisely because its contributors are theologians of the highest caliber who, by and large, have managed to avoid the faddish nature of so much contemporary reflection. -- Derek Rishmawy * Reformedish *
