Maurice Wiles shows that it doesn't require a vast tome to present
a penetrating challenge to traditional doctrinal positions . . .
The great merit of this important study is that it both highlights
the need for massive rethinking of the self-understanding of the
Christian faith and challenges those who engage in such rethinking
to pay strict attention to what the evidence demands. Doctrine done
this way may replace some of the richness of imaginative
speculation with a welcome "freedom from certain inevitably
fruitless and frustrating lines of enquiry". This book is
important. It deserves to be read carefully and its challenge
profoundly considered' (David Pailin in The Expository Times).
`This largely non-technical and text-free book is distinguished by
its author's intellectual power (manifest in the rigour and brevity
of every page) and by his courageous seriousness in tackling the
greatest themes open to a theologian - on the person and work of
Christ, the Holy Spirit, the eternal hope, the nature of doctrine
itself. He is relentlessly honest in relying on his experience,
study and thought. Before our eyes he is driven to faith and to
agnosticism - and back again' (David L. Edwards in the Church
Times).
