The Drama of Doctrine was one of the best books I read last year, it’ll be interesting to see your take on it!
Nate: I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. I’ve glanced at it on Amazon’s preview a time or two so I’ll be looking forward to engaging the full text.
Nick,
I too loved the Drama of Doctrine. Absolutely outstanding and engaging read (it is a theology book that actually changed my outlook on how I live). Only problem is it whet my appetite for his next book, which has been published by Cambridge with a sticker price of over $100. Ouch. Waiting for a cheaper paperback or a bargain copy has been excruciating!
James: Ahh, you must be talking about his Remythologizing Theology, right? I’m blessed to have a copy of that at my disposal. From what I’ve read so far it’s definitely a weighty volume.
Right you are, NIck. I’m very jealous. I got to hear him outline what he was writing in that book back in 2008 in a presentation at AAR, and have been excited about it’s release since that time. When it finally released a year or more later and was prohibitively expensive, I was pretty crushed. But someday . . . Or maybe I’ll have to stoop to checking it out from a theological library (but if I can’t mark it up, what’s really the point). But I’m glad you get to enjoy it.
James: The thought of checking a book out of the library saddens me. The thought of returning a book, especially a good one, is disheartening!
