Creator: Andrew P. Porter Date: 2016 Contributing Institution: Graduate Theological Union Description: From the publisher's website ( http://www.xulonpress.com/bookstore/bookdetail.php?PB_ISBN=9781498465274&HC_ISBN=) : "Concepts taken for granted cause trouble later if they are forgotten. Biblical religion is world-affirming and historical. That means finding some positive construction for the pains of life, and finding the meaning of life in history. The Exodus is the backbone of the Bible: it holds together the Old Testament, and it is the model for the New Testament. Biblical religion is covenantal: it is a choice, not something that could be proven. As with Aquinas, acts of God do not interfere with nature, but transcendence builds on nature. At this point, it is possible to say a little about God; more belongs in theology, not in philosophical presuppositions." View Full Item at Graduate Theological Union -
