This is a detailed examination of the theological innovations of
Kevin Vanhoozer and John Franke. Each proposes that doctrinal and
systematic theology should be re-cast in the light of
postmodernity. No longer can Christian theology be foundational, or
have a stable metaphysical and epistemological framework. Vanhoozer
advocates a theo-dramatic reconstruction of Christian doctrine,
replacing the timeless propositions of the "purely cerebral
theology" of the Reformed tradition in favor of a theology that
does justice to the polyphony of multiple biblical genres. Franke
holds that theology is part of a three-way conversation between
Scripture, tradition, and culture, with an uncertain outcome. This
study shows that each of these proposals is based on
misunderstanding and exaggeration, and that the case against
foundationalism is unclear and unpersuasive. It is argued that
Vanhoozer's appeal to revelation as divine speech-acts is not as
radical as he thinks, and his epistemology is weak. In the hands of
postmodernity, Christian theology abandons its exactness and the
standards of care that are a notable feature of doctrinal
constrictions.The book will be of importance to those with interest
in Reformed theology or Christian theology more generally. It
provides a clear assessment of the impact of the postmodern mindset
on theology.
