Title: Jesus and the Quest for Meaning By: Thomas West Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 296 Vendor: Fortress Press Publication Date: 2001 | Dimensions: 9.0 X 6.0 X .12 (inches) Weight: 15 ounces ISBN: 0800632974 ISBN-13: 9780800632977 Stock No: WW632974 |
A new approach to introducing theologyAs God's self-communication to humans, Jesus is the key to the human search for meaning, argues Thomas West. He therefore introduces the practice of theology through Christology. From the question of personal meaning and self-constitution and their relationship to transcendent meaning and value, he proceeds to discuss the figure and import of Jesus and then the ethical imperative engendered through encounter with him.
Fresh and clear, West's book is an invitation to grapple with one's religious commitments, especially in light of recent insights in biblical studies and Continental, feminist, and liberation theologies.
This new text will prove an engaging and effective introduction to theological thinking for both undergraduates and Christian adults.
