This celebratory volume in honour of Frances Young, draws on and
develops the multifarious hermeneutical interests evident in the
body of her work. Its overall thematic motif, to highlight concerns
which impacted on her work, is the symbolic use of 'wilderness.'
This multi-disciplinary volume begins with an in-depth analysis of
her work by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. The first
part of the volume has biblical and early Christian literature as
the focus, and deals with, among other topics, Jesus' encounter
with people of impairment, biblical figures such as Miriam, gospel
portrayals of mountains, experience of wilderness in the lives of
Maori and Jewish people, the temptation of Jesus as interpreted at
different times, and the redefinition of asceticism in Syrian
Christianity. The second part of the volume addresses theological
concerns, with essays which advocate wisdom as a potential mode for
doing theology, engage with the radical Christian writings of 17th
and 18th centuries, revisit the problem of sin, highlight the
latent Christological motifs in the novels of Tolkien, and draw
attention to the significance of the Quranic Jesus. One of the
powerful messages of these lucidly written essays is the
interconnectedness of the Bible, patristic writing, systematic
theology and spirituality. The contributors come from different
theological, disciplinary, social and gender backgrounds but there
are important convergences which impact on current theological
discourse. These essays reflect Frances Young's twin concerns,
academic and pastoral, and will be attractive to both lay and
professional readers.
