Many of our current, lasting controversies in American Christianity are due, in part, to the willingness of liberals to champion reason and experience while leaving Scripture and tradition to conservatives, and vice versa. The liberal biblical theological voice, once quite strong, has fallen silent.
Grounded in a solid knowledge of biblical study, Partnership in the Gospel presents a series of exercises, or angles of perspective, intended to support the rigorous consideration of biblical theological perspective that preachers, teachers, and lay leaders need. This work draws from a range of scholarly, theological, and everyday voices, and with kindred works of poetry, art, music, and literature, to explore the Bible’s unifying themes through ‘partnerships’ of perspective. Each chapter offers an exercise that integrates Scripture, experience, tradition, and reason–the four sides of John Wesley’s ‘Quadrilateral’–as the means by which to engage with the gospel and appreciate a liberal biblical theology.
