American Protestant Christianity is often described as a two-party
system divided into liberals and conservatives. This book clarifies
differences between the intellectual positions of these two groups
by advancing the thesis that the philosophy of the modern period is
largely responsible for the polarity of Protestant Christian
thought. A second thesis is that the modern philosophical positions
driving the division between liberals and conservatives have
themselves been called into question. It therefore becomes
opportune to ask how theology ought to be done in a postmodern era,
and to envision a rapprochement between theologians of the left and
right. A concluding chapter speculates specifically on the era now
dawning and the likelihood that the compulsion to separate the
spectrum into two distinct camps will be precluded by the
coexistence of a wide range of theological positions from left to
right. Nancey C. Murphy is Associate Professor of Christian
Philosophy at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, and the author
of Reasoning and Rhetoric in Religion, also published by Trinity
Press. Her book Theology in the Age of Scientific Reasoning earned
the American Academy of Religion's Award for Excellence.
