The confession the church makes to the world sits oddly in the
contemporary cultural complex. Intellectual fashions in the
marketplace of ideas have moved beyond an accommodation of
biblical-theological categories. Philosophy is unsure of its status
in an amorphous postmodernism, and theology threatens to degenerate
into intellectual experimentation. They have become mutually
suspicious and hesitant of conversation. But a heavy fault lies
with the church's own confessional status. For what is it the
church has to say to the world? Has it preserved confessional
continuity with the Reformation theology that rediscovered its
biblical foundations and liberated it from intellectual and
confessional shackles? Has the church surrendered the possibility
of relevance by having lost its own historic identity? And is it
necessary to conclude, as a result, that contemporary culture is no
longer penetrable by any word from the old wells of divine
disclosure? In this brief but challenging book, Douglas Vickers
brings the Christian confession to the forefront of consideration
and reestablishes a theology grounded in historic verities
sustained by the scriptural declarations. In straightforward and
accessible terms, Being and Belief addresses the meaning of
biblical truth for Christian understanding and Christian life.
