More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Drawing on his extraordinary intellectual range, Bauckham plumbs the Bible and the Christian tradition to mount a critique of modern notions of freedom and in the process offers us an account of freedom that requires a true authority. Anyone who works in contemporary theology and ethics should read this book." - Stanley Hauerwas, Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School
Product Description
This book outlines a biblical understanding of freedom and the particular ways in which Christians choose to exercise that freedom in response to major issues confronting the world today. Specifically, Bauckham constructs a Christian understanding of freedom, explores the authority of Scripture in modern and postmodern contexts, and also examines themes of tradition, ethics, oppression, and ecology as they relate to issues of freedom and authority.

Takes a controversial standpoint and defends it well
7 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
God And The Crisis Of Freedom: Biblical And Contemporary Perspectives is a thoughtful treatise by Richard Bauckham (Professor of New Testament Studies and Bishop Wardlaw Professor at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland) on a very serious question: Does faith in God necessarily require that one's freedom be limited? Proposing that true freedom only comes through dependence, belonging, community, and divine authority, Professor Bauckham takes a controversial standpoint and defends it well, investing heavily in deep theological discussion and persuasion for the case that human freedom is intertwined with the human relationship to the triune God of Christianity.
