"The Agenda for Theology, which I attempted to set forth in 1979, is here being significantly extended by Robert Webber in 1999 in a way that is profoundly gratifying."--Thomas C. Oden, professor of theology, Drew University"With his customary lucidity and catholicity, but in a way that cuts deeper than his earlier writings, Robert Webber substantiates the vision of an anciently-rooted and forward-looking evangelicalism that marks all of his work. Ancient-Future Faith works as a narrative-oriented Christian primer and as a road map to the promise of catholic evangelicalism. For the theologically inclined, it also works as a Gadamerian exercise in the fusion of theological horizons, showing how the Christus Victor Christocentrism of ancient Christianity might reshape the faith that Christians live and claim in a postmodern context. Webber shows what it means to take seriously the character of Christian testimony as Christ-following church-formed story."--Gary Dorrien, author, The Remaking of Evangelical Theology"Evangelicalism is a vital spiritual movement but has lots of room to grow in the area of theological hermeneutics. Welcome therefore is this proposal from a senior and respected leader which draws half a dozen lessons from the early church to help evangelicals move forward into the future. Here is a faith for our time that finds in the ancient traditions the power to speak to the postmodern world. This book amounts to an introduction to Christianity from the theme of Christus Victor. It draws from Webber's own experience of growth as a hearer of God's Word and is backed up with an impressive set of end-notes, charts, and bibliography."--Clark H. Pinnock, professor of theology emeritus, McMaster Divinity College"'You can only think about the future of the faith after you have gone back to the classical tradition.' So writes Bob Webber in this book, and he has made his lifework the forward-looking appropriation of that unboundingly rich - and, most important, 'true' - generous orthodoxy. Many of us are already incalculably in his debt. Now, more than ever, with the culture wars of a dying modernity cutting deeper and more darkly into desperation and anger, all evangelicalism needs to hear him. Take up, read, pray and consider: in this direction lies the most hopeful future of our faith."--Rodney Clapp, senior editor, Prism
