An Essay on Theological Method (AAR Reflection and Theory in the Study of Religion)

An Essay on Theological Method (AAR Reflection and Theory in the Study of Religion) by Kaufman, Gordon D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780788501357.

This book, first published in 1979, contains Gordon Kaufmans initial attempt to articulate his conviction that theology is, and always has been, an activity of what he calls the "imaginative construction" of a comprehensive and coherent picture of humanity in the world under God. While Kaufmans 1993 work,In Face of Mystery, qualifies and deepens the programmatic proposals offered in An Essay on Theological Method, the earlier book nevertheless remains a sound and accessible statement on theological method by one of Americas most distinguished theologians. The Third Edition includes an extensive new Preface by the author, and an appendix on "The Three Moments of Theological Construction."
