In the face of what appears to be a widespread questioning of the practical usefulness of serious theological reflection on the nature and purposes of God, the authors of this intriguing book argue that a return to the sources of the Christian tradition represents nothing less than a rich trove of resources for Christian living. By revisiting the story of speech about God in scripture and in the living tradition of the church, the authors argue that we are thereby enabled to confront the contemporary temptations that too often unwittingly remake God in our own image. In this way the authors provocatively suggest that at least part of what Christian discipleship involves today is bound up with the task of unlearning some of the ways of speaking of God that have become so familiar to us. By learning to reread the texts of the Christian tradition, particularly in its most vital and creative moments, the authors suggest that we might become better equipped to faithfully read the signs of our own times.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Brian Haymes (1940-2024) was a distinguished Baptist minister, theologian, and writer, whose ministry and scholarship left a lasting impact on Baptist life in Britain. He served as Principal of both Northern Baptist College and Bristol Baptist College, and later as Minister of Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church in London. Renowned for his depth of theological insight and pastoral sensitivity, Brian was a leading voice in conversations around Baptist identity, theological education, and the vocation of ministry. He authored and co-authored several significant books, and contributed extensively to the renewal of Baptist ecclesiology and theology in the UK. Brian also served as President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. Deeply committed to the life of the local church, to ecumenical engagement, and to the ongoing theological task, his legacy continues to inspire ministers, scholars, and congregations alike.
