Author: EBELING, GERHARD
Title: The Study of Theology
Description: London, Collins. 1979, First. (ISBN: 0002157802). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which has fading to spine. x + 196 pages. Translated by Duane A. Priebe. A work of notable scholarship which is more than simply a compilation of material on theology, it is an expression of Ebeling's discovery of a fundamental orientation to theological study that emphasizes the connections between the various discipines. Ebeling adopts a sequential approach which begins with the New Testament, moves to the Old Testament, religion and philosophy, followed by Church history, the natural sciences, humanities, and the social sciences. Noting the contemporary crisis in orientation and method provoked by excessive fragmentation of the disciplines, he seeks connectives and relationships which provide clues to a new approach to theological study.
