The topics covered in this thought-provoking collection range from the notion of divine action in Hebrew Wisdom literature to reflections on the nature of the ministry, from the concept of God and the doctrines of Christology and of the Trinity tothe character of theological reflection, and from revelation and tradition to the 'lex orandi', the nature of interpretation in religion and the historical basis of theological understanding.Coakley, Sarah is the author of 'Making and Remaking of Christian Doctrine Essays in Honour of Maurice Wiles' with ISBN 9780198267393 and ISBN 0198267398.
