Více o knize

The book explores the tradition of liberal theology, highlighting its balance between religious faith and human rationality, as exemplified by early apologists like Justin Martyr and Origen. Michael Langford defines liberal theology, outlining eleven key characteristics, including nonliteralist scriptural interpretation and the interplay of faith and works. Through vignettes of thirteen historical figures embodying this tradition, he contrasts liberal theology with contemporary alternatives such as fundamentalism and Karl Barth's theology, ultimately defending its relevance and rational foundation.
