If you are looking for any new additions, Stan...... If you are looking for any new additions, Stanley Hauerwas has been pushing J. Jones' "Grammar of Christian Faith" as the best available systematic distillation of contemporary theology, qua Barth and Yoder- sloppy Christology, very very nonviolent, otherwise beautiful.MMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169520137196027425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-1142070355453475902006-03-11T04:45:00.000-05:002006-03-11T04:45:00.000-05:00Macquarrie was Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity...Macquarrie was Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity when I was at Oxford.
