We can see how religious and philosophical beliefs, ethical and cultural values, though considered unconditionally true by those who held them, are in fact rooted in and conditioned by the experience of individual human beings, societies and cultures flourishing at particular times and under particular circumstances. We recognize, too, if we are sufficiently aware, the same influences on ourselves. .we may at least ask whether the canonization of the Bible was, in this setting, itself an absolute. And put in that way, the question cannot readily be given an affirmative answer. But were they given the right status? As we saw in the first chapter, the Christian Church took over the Jewish Bible without any questioning of this sort at all. But was it correct in doing so? Was not the Jewish conception of the character of the Old Testament perhaps responsible for leading the Church in a direction which it should not have taken?' (p. 115 f.)

In den WarenkorbSoftcover. 124 p.; 18.5 cm. (SCM book club. Study project ; 10 [whole no. 195]) `I have ignored the fact that Christianity is, through the churches, in so fragmented a state. I have ignored, too, the fact that substantial groups would answer the question `Who is a Christian?' in quite a specific way, in terms of definite answers…, definite actions, definite commitments. I do not believe that there are any such definite answers to be had.' -- `Explor- ation and journeying: held side by side each stresses an important part of Christian faith. Exploration points tothe need to be honest and open in our search for knowledge & understanding;journeying tothe need to be committed, to the faith and hope that what we do with our life is not only to discover more about ourselves and the world around us, but to grow with all that we are and do towards a fulfilment which lies beyond what we can see.'-- `I do not propose togo into much detail aboutthese moments of personal encounter; they do not go into words very readily.Either you willknow what I am trying to talk about or not.Our natural tendency is to be slightly embarrassed and reticent about talking about them too much,as if we had been somehow caught naked,or as if they were so fragile that we might damage them. If the first of these feelings means that we push our flashes of deeper understanding on one side and do nothing about them, let them have no effect on the rest of our lives, then we are turning our back on the centre of our humanness; but the second reaction seems a right one. For if an attempt is made to force intimacy, to probe too deeply at the wrong time, to improve upon it, the result can be an unbearable invasion of privacy, which we must have.'

In den WarenkorbSoftcover. Zustand: VG in orig. red wrapper. [9], 85 p.; 19.5 cm. (SCM book club ; 235) `And here we come to the crux of the matter. For this all too brief discussion of the way in which we might attempt to make sense for our own time of the Bible, of Jesus, of Christian doctrine, points in each case to the same basic question.…How do we make use of the past in terms of the present? How can the past speak to us meaningfully in our own very different age? The trouble with the church seems to be that it expects the use of the Bible as a document with a direct message for us today to be effective without very much further thought; that it expects the Jesus of the first century to speak directly to the world of our time, that it expects Christian doctrine hammered out in the period before the scientific revolution to express the essential truth of our mysterious universe. And it gets very worried indeed if anyone hints that this is not the case.' (p. 52 f.) -- If the church really does seem to persist regardless in being so blind and so unyielding and so unloving by virtue of the rigidity of its structures and the consequences of its often thoughtless doctrines, must there not inevitably come a point when the arguments for continuing to remain a formal member of it lose their force? In that case, surely the only honest and consistent course is to leave it, and out of solidarity with those others for whom it will not care, go permanently into the wilderness and see whether, against the odds, the age-old hopes of the prophets might again find their beginnings there.' (p. 81).

In den WarenkorbSoftcover. 124 p.; 18.5 cm. (SCM centrebooks : six Christians [whole no. 201]) Contents: Preface -- 1 Profile -- 2 Prophet -- 3 Professor -- 4 Politician -- 5 Patriarch -- 6 Problem -- For further reading -- Index. -- From a laid in review by John Macquarrie:"The book is biographical in form and presents a vivid picture of Barth… as a human being. His enormous capacity for work, his disciplined devotion to theology, his wit and grace, his stubborn onesidedness, his courtesy to students, his inability to listen to other theologians - these and other qualities are portrayed fairly but always sympathetically. Mr. Bowden sees the heart of Barth's theology in his discovery ofthe meaning of God.`Barth's contribution has been constantly to stress that God is God', and we find such phrases as `a towering conception of God' and `the utter Godness of God.'. The controversial and puzzling topic of Barth and politics is very perceptively handled. Barth's interest in socialism in his early years, his opposition to the Nazis and his elusive attitudes during the `Cold War' are explored. Berth emerges as a figure who was never afraid to take an unpopular stand on public issues, but what is less clear is the relation of his theology to some of these stands and its usefulness as a guide to the Christian in matters political. There are many things which he finds to criticize in Barth - his isolation from other theological approaches, his depreciation of the `natural', his apparent indifference to problems of historical criticism - in general, his theological `triumphalism'. But Mr. Bowden also believes that so long as questions of Christian theology are asked, Barth's work will be studied." VG, sewn, in orig. illus. citron wrapper.
