The new theologians crowd the barriers where church meets world, and the aim of this collection of fifteen recent articles is to give the curious non-professional a sample of the variety and vitality of current work in theology and allied fields.
History, philosophy, biblical studies, and non-Christian religions figure in the contents. Some pieces demand close attention. Some relate to current events and personalities. Eight countries are represented, as are twelve Protestant denominations, a Jesuit, and a Jewish theologian.
Edited by Martin E. Marty and Dean G. Peerman
