Christology in Context
Christology In Context, the newest volume in Gabriel Fackre's long-standing Christian Story, relates the classical teaching about Christ to present-day issues that preachers, teachers, and believers face -- religious pluralism, evangelism, the place of angels, the problem of evil, and more. Drawing together reflections on Christology from throughout his life, Fackre moves from specific responses to church ministry and parishioners' questions, through evangelical and ecumenical perspectives, to concluding chapters on Christ's life, death, and resurrection. His Christology in Context solidly locates the incarnation and the atonement within the overarching biblical narrative in a way that will ...
The Christian Story
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. As a pastoral systematic, The Christian Story rises from, and strives to be a resource to, the life and witness of the church and its leadership. The first volume (revised edition, 1984) offered an introductory overview of the basic Christian doctrine. Now turning his attention to the individual doctrines, Gabriel Fackre here surveys a spectrum of views on authority -- from inerrantist to experientialist -- and sets forth an alternative perspective along ecumenical and narrative lines. The author's search for a full-orbed position affirms Scripture as the source, the church and its traditions as resource, the world of human experience as setting, the Gospel as substance, and Christ as the center of authority. A detailed analysis of hermeneutical issues is included in the book. The quest for evangelical catholicity leads to a restatement of the fourfold method of scriptural interpretation: common sense, critical scholarship, canonical perspective, and the contextualization process -- personal and social. An extensive exegesis of a key Christological text, John 14:6, illustrates how this method works.

Ecumenical Faith in Evangelical Perspective
"What do ecumenical and evangelical have to do with each other? In terms of actual dialogue, these two polarized camps have had all too little contact with one another, says Gabriel Fackre." "A self-confessed "evangelical ecumenical," Fackre believes that the two constituencies have much to learn from one another, so he here takes up topics and persons from the vantage point of evangelical-ecumenical convergence. His distinctions, definitions, connections, and insights in this volume will engage evangelicals and ecumenicals alike. Fackre concludes his discussion with a discerning examination of two representative figures, looking at Carl Henry from an ecumenical perspective and at David Tracy from an evangelical perspective."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Nature of Confession
Voted one of Christianity Today's 1997 Books of the Year! Ours is an age of profound cultural change, in which new categories and alliances are bound to arise. In theology, the liberal strategy has lost support, having degenerated into mere anthropology and succumbed to the political agendas of its proponents. And while the evangelical movement appears to be gaining ground, it is simultaneously suffering an acute identity crisis.Currently the postliberal (or "Yale school") movement has found a strong resonance in some mainline denominational circles. Its emphasis on the biblical text and Jesus Christ--through which all other reality needs to be construed--may turn out to be the most signific...

Story Lines
Much more than just a traditional festschrift, "Story Lines" is a book reflecting -- and moving beyond -- much of the ferment in twentieth-century theology. Written by a cast of esteemed Christian thinkers who have shaped an entire generation of theological inquiry, this volume transforms the changing and conflicted theological scene of the last half century into a clear and steady path for the church of today. Though diverse in orientation -- ecumenical and evangelical, Protestant and Roman Catholic -- the contributors to "Story Lines" share Gabe Fackres commitment to classical Christian teaching that seeks to speak to the times. The organizing principle of this work is story, the master me...
