Description
About the Book
Here, McClendon defines doctrine as an essential practice of the church, not a set of propositions to believe. The author rejects the prevailing assumptions stemming from the rationalism of the Enlightenment, and redefines theology as a discipline within the context of particular religious beliefs and practices of concrete believing communities. McClendon ties the reading of Scripture to the community's understanding of itself and its own mission.Book Synopsis
