| Summary: | Jason Springs’s work furthers the rehabilitation of Frei the theologian that Mike Higton and Paul DeHart have, in recent years, begun. He reveals a thinker with significant social-pragmatist instincts, governed by a thoroughly theological sensibility oriented towards God’s gracious self-revelation in Jesus Christ, and so free and impelled to pursue wide-ranging ad hoc interdisciplinary engagement., In chapter 1, Springs argues that in The Identity of Jesus Christ Frei sought to demonstrate ‘a situated, practical sensibility for reading these stories that is first oriented by the [synoptic gospels’] stories’, which would govern the choice of conceptual tools for reading them (p. 37). |
