Description

Review Praise for previous volumes  Choice “Extraordinary. . . . Kärkkäinen’s awareness of contemporary issues and vast learning make this volume a necessity for any scholar or Christian leader.”  Peter Phan — Georgetown University “With awe and admiration readers of this comprehensive and lucid book will no doubt link its author’s name with Thomas, Calvin, Barth, Moltmann, and other theological luminaries. After the completion of Kärkkäinen’s five-volume project, theology will not be the same.”  Stephan Bevans, SVD — Catholic Theological Union, Chicago “Kärkkäinen’s systematic theology, while firmly rooted in the evangelical theological tradition, is wonderfully and warmly ecumenical, frankly Christian but still open to the insights and practices of other religious ways, and widely inclusive of Christian thinkers from all contexts and cultures. This is a new kind of theologizing, one done in a postmodern key yet remaining faithful to the treasures of our premodern and modern past. Kärkkäinen’s breadth of scholarship is amazing.”   Read more About the Author Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen is professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena,California, and docent of ecumenics at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
