Although many writings of Edmund Schlink (1903–1984) have been available in English for several decades, the publication of the new German edition offered a significant impetus for providing a fresh and more accurate translation of them.
Matthew L. Becker and his co-translators have consistently translated key terms that occur in all five volumes. Also, they corrected infelicitous and misleading renderings of Schlink’s language into English, which more or less happened in all the earlier editions.
In this second volume Becker provides the first-ever English translation of Schlink’s dogmatics. Representing the culmination of five decades of scholarly work by one of the most important theologians and ecumenists of the twentieth century, Schlink’s opus magnum sets forth the ‘basic features’ of Christian doctrine that all Christian churches hold in common. Schlink’s Ecumenical Dogmatics thus offers a consistent witness to the living, triune God, who calls sinners to repentance and faith, who acts mightily to save them, and who sends them back into the world to share God’s gospel and love in word and deed.
