"Since the end of the eighteenth century theology has been hagridden by the spectre of the Enlightenment with its rejection of ways of understanding handed down by tradition and its endorsement of 'scientific' procedures as the sole way of attaining truth. This has led to a kind of split consciousness which manifests itself in the division between theology as an academic discipline and theology as lived - as prayer." from the front flap. Draws on the thought of H.G. Gadamer George Steiner and Michael Polanyi and reconsiders Patristic use of allegory in Biblical interpretation. We personally inspect every book we offer.
