Book Description
Organized religion offers a symbolic integration of the varied elements of American society; it infuses political institutions with religious symbolism; and by way of personal adjustment it provides social adjustment and psychological integration. But these useful services to the establishment leave out the essence of a twentieth-century response to the God who stands over against our society in judgment. personal commitment, theological construction, and the relating of the Christian faith to the real problems of our world are the tasks which the author considers in practical detail. This sociologist's study, written for the National Student Christian Federation, provides study groups with a basis for a really fresh look at the Christian mission in America. --

The Fabric of Theology
Author: Richard Lints
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802806741
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. After showing that today's evangelicals have not fared well in the crucible of modern pluralism, Lints argues that in order to regain spiritual wholeness, evangelicals must relearn how to think and live theologically. This book highlights several cultural and theological impediments to doing theology from an evangelical perspective, interacts with postmodernism as a theological method, and provides a provocative new outline for the construction of a truly "transformative" evangelical theology in the modern age.
