From the Back Cover

A Theology of Word and Spirit draws out the contemporary implications of the biblically grounded theology of Augustine, Luther, Calvin and Barth. Here will be found fresh and faithful discussions of relativism, the present Kirchenkampf (church conflict), fideism and rationalism, feminine-gender language for God, narrative theology, and the hermeneutical problem.

Review Quotes

"Christian Foundations promises to be the evangelical summa of the twentieth century. Bloesch demonstrates once more a clarity, forthrightness, relevance and breadth of vision which will commend his series to a wide readership."

"Donald Bloesch's theology comes out of a believing heart, a lucid mind, and a teacher's penchant for clarity and communication. This is edifying as well as instructive reading. Few books on systematic theology at their end leave the reader hungering for more. This is an exception."
