Engaging
variously with the legacy of Paul L. Lehmann, these essays argue for a
reorientation in Christian theology that better honours the formative
power of the gospel to animate and shape doctrine and witness, as well
as ethical and political life.The authors explore key themes in
Christian theology and ethics - forgiveness, discernment,
responsibility, spirituality, the present day tasks of theology and the
role of faith in public life - making plain the unabated importance of
Lehmann's work at this juncture in contemporary theology. The
internationally recognized contributors draw crucial connections between
the gospel of reconciliation, the form of Christian theology and
witness, and the challenges of contemporary ethical and political
reflection. This book demonstrates why this close friend of Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, and author of Ethics in a Christian Context and The
Transfiguration of Politics continues to influence generations of
theologians in both the English speaking world and beyond.
