Description
Maurice Wiles was Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford from 1970-1991. To celebrate his seventieth birthday, a group of distinguished friends and colleagues have written this important series of original and perceptive essays on the twin themes ofmaking and remaking Christian doctrine. The topics covered in this thought-provoking collection range from the notion of divine action in Hebrew Wisdom literature to reflections on the nature of the
ministry, from the concept of God and the doctrines of Christology and of the Trinity tothe character of theological reflection, and from revelation and tradition to the `lex orandi', the nature of interpretation in religion and the historical basis of theological understanding.
