Theology for Liberal Protestants: God the Creator

Autor Douglas F. Ottati
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2013
A two-volume work by Douglas Ottati, Theology for Liberal Protestants presents a comprehensive theology for Christians who are willing to rethink and revise traditional doctrines in face of contemporary challenges. It is Augustinian, claiming that we belong to the God of grace who creates, judges, and renews. It is Protestant, affirming the priority of the Bible and the fallibility of church teaching. It is liberal, recognizing the importance of critical arguments and scientific inquiries, a deeply historical consciousness, and a commitment to social criticism and engagement. This first volume contains sections on method and creation. Ottati's method envisions the world and ourselves in relation to God as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. The bulk of the book offers an in-depth discussion of God as Creator, the world as creation, and humans as good, capable, and limited creatures.

Recenzii

Roger J. Gench--The New York Avenue Presbyterian Church Theology for Liberal Protestants is a much-needed book by a master teacher.

This book is a treasure trove of insight into the dynamics of the Christian life. Ottati is a distinctive theological voice, and this volume establishes him as one of the foremost theologians working today. It should be widely read, carefully pondered, and deeply treasured. Rebekah Miles--Southern Methodist University If you've ever feared that American liberal theology was down for the count, you'll be cheered by Douglas Ottati's careful and accessible work. Drawing on distinctive themes from Augustinian, Protestant, and liberal traditions, Ottati puts forward a robust and unapologetic liberal theology in the Reformed tradition. Douglas J. Schuurman--St. Olaf College By situating humans within the larger contexts of cosmic ecology' and cosmic passage, ' and ultimately in the context of God, Ottati's Theology for Liberal Protestants: God the Creator constructs a humbling yet inspiring theocentric vision of the cosmos and human life. This is a remarkable and much-needed contribution to systematic theology. Dawn DeVries--Union Presbyterian Seminary For professional theologians, clergy, and laity alike, this book is an invaluable resource. . . . The deep and broad erudition on display is impressive. But equally noteworthy is Ottati's continuous attention to the practical and ethical dimensions of theological ideas and their ultimate purpose to aid in the nurture and promotion o
