Descrizione
Riepilogo:Between the extremes of fundamentalism and secularism, the postliberal Presbyterian theologian William Placher offers a dynamic middle way. This “Theology Update” summarizes Placher's work. Warning us against prematurely domesticating God's transcendence, Placher presents a picture of a God who is radically transcendent, and therefore recklessly immanent in creation. God is vulnerable in Christ, who saves us through solidarity, reconciliation and redemption.
