Theology as If Jesus Matters: An Introduction to Christianity's Main Convictions (Living Issues Discussion, 5) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Grimsrud asks what Christian theology would be like if it consistently took Jesus' central command to love God and neighbor as the most important consideration. This is why Brenda Martin Hurst, Pastor, Fraser Mennonite Church, says that "Grimsrud's entire theology hinges on these love commands on which Jesus said all the law and the prophets hang." Keith Graber Miller, Goshen College, comments that "Nearly 40 years later, we have another theological extension of John Howard Yoder's Politics of Jesus--an expansive, accessible, provocative, practical, and practice-able theology rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus." Christian Early, Eastern Mennonite University, observes that "Grimsrud recaptures a vision for theology that begins and ends with Jesus, and in so doing manages to call back the discipline from its metaphysical holiday to its home in the life of the messianic community." David Neville, School of Theology, Charles Sturt University, Australia, sees Grimsrud as returning "again and again to Jesus' command to love both God and neighbor as the tuning fork for setting theological convictions in their proper key."
