"For three decades, he flashed like a meteor across the theological
horizon, and then vanished." So writes Alan P.F. Sell of Nels F.S.
Ferre (1908-1971), a mid-twentieth-century theologian whose work is
little remembered, despite his constructive and often provocative
contributions to theological debates that endure today. While
Professor Sell speculates upon the reasons for this inattention,
his primary concern is to show that Ferre's works raise timeless
questions about the relations between content and method in
theology. How far do the personal convictions of theologians
influence their theological method? May methodological decisions
yield attenuated accounts of Christian doctrine? This in-depth
analysis of Ferre's thought is a cautionary tale concerning the
importance of the choice of starting-points for theological
reflection that will prove an invaluable resource for theologians
and historians of Christian thought, whilst also remaining an
approachable text for those with a general interest in theology.
