{"product_id":"liberal-theology-a-radical-vision-9780800638986","title":"Liberal Theology: A Radical Vision","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this incisive work  distinguished theologian Peter Hodgson reflects on the precarious yet vital role of theology today and its nearly lost and sometimes discredited tradition of liberal thought  especially liberal theology. Liberal theology has been the main thread of Christian thinking over the last 200 years  but it threatens to be obscured by a rising tide of conservative and even fundamentalist Christianity  on the one hand  and a secular materialism  on the other. Hodgsons sure-footed work offers a way of seeing our religious and political situations together. He calls for liberal theology to reinvent itself and to fulfill its crucial historical roles as a mediator between Christian commitment and the cultural situation and as a critical lens through which to retrieve and reconstrue key Christian doctrines. The heart or root of Christian commitment  Hodgson finds  lies in its radical vision of freedom - Gods  natures  and our own. In the end  Hodgsons proposal embraces not only theology but Christianity itself and its relevance to todays most pressing problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45272893620277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0800638980","price":97.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780800638986.jpg?v=1780485394","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/liberal-theology-a-radical-vision-9780800638986","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
