Van Huyssteen, J. Wentzel (19..-....). Auteur

Edited by W.B. Eerdmans. Grand Rapids, Mich. - 1997

"This collection of essays in philosophical theology boldly addresses many of the challenges faced by Christian theology in the context of contemporary postmodern thought. Through a series of profound discussions of theology in relation to epistemology, methodology, and science, J. Wentzel van Huyssteen presses the case for a "postfoundationalist theology" as a viable third option beyond the extremes of foundationalism and nonfoundationalism."--Jacket
