"Robert Jenson deserves to be studied as one of the more creative
theologians in America today. It is perhaps due to his wisdom in
the ways of this world that each of his books leaves the reader
impatient to hear more. If his work in the future proves to be as
stimulating as that in the past, we will not be disappointed."
Christopher L. Morse Union Theological Seminary, New York "For
those who have experienced genuine confusion about sacraments,
Jenson's book is a breath of fresh air." Donald H. Juel Luther
Theological Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota "Saint Augustine's
distilled description of sacraments, 'visible words, ' is used by
the systematic theologian Robert Jenson to title this important
book. In attempting something so deceptively simple as 'to explain
Christianity's sacraments, ' the author is remarkably successful."
William S. Adams Vancouver School of Theology "Jenson is especially
helpful in his discussion of the sacraments as communication
events. One wishes great influence for this book in the Christian
churches for it surely will assist the liturgical dialogue among
them." John Barry Ryan Manhattan College, Bronx, New York Robert W.
Jenson is a leading American Lutheran theologian. He has taught at
many institutions, including Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, the
Lutheran Seminary in Gettysburg, and Saint Olaf College in
Northfield, Minnesota. With Carl Braaten, he founded the Center for
Catholic and Evangelical Theology in Northfield, Minnesota. He was
a Senior Scholar for Research at the Center for Theological Inquiry
in Princeton, New Jersey, where he now resides. Among his many
books are his two-volume Systematic Theology, Lutheranism: The
Theological Movement and Its Confessional Writings (with Eric
Gritsch), and A Map of Twentieth-Century Theology (editor with Carl
Braaten).
