Inhaltsangabe

A milestone work in Christian
theology--available again!
"As a critic of the contemporary
theological scene, Van Harvey has few, if any, competitors. This is nowhere
clearer than in The Historian and the Believer . . . the classic
discussion of its topic. Rich in insight and penetrating in argument,
it is one book that belongs in the library of every theologian and seminarian."
-- Schubert M. Ogden, author of Doing Theology Today
Is it possible to be both
a historian and a Christian? Van Harvey's classic The Historian and
the Believer posed that question when it was first published.
In this printing, the author
has provided a new introduction in which he reflects on how he would reframe
his original argument in order to bring out more fully the basic theological
intention underlying his view that Christian faith cannot rest on dubious
historical claims.
From reviews of the first
edition:
"Probably the most interesting
piece of American theological writing to appear this year." -- John
Reumann, Union Seminary Quarterly Review
