Divine Immutability

Theology

“Dorner's critique still has its importance for the discussion on christology.”

The Christian Doctrine of the Divine Attributes

Theology

“The most significant contribution of modern theology to the doctrine of the divine attributes.”

The Postfoundationalist Task of Theology

“While much of the current talk on postmodernity remains somewhat obscure, one of the real issues is the criticism of foundationalist claims as they developed in modern thought either in empiricist or intellectualist fashion. . . F. LeRon Shults here presents a very subtle and detailed analysis of my understanding of this issue and of its application in my own theology. He is correct in placing me neither in the foundationalist camp nor among certain forms of nonfoundationalism that surrender the rational quest for truth. I feel rather sympathetic with the position he describes as postfoundationalist. He correctly criticizes interpretations of my thought that take me to make anthropology the foundation of Christian theology. His book shows that anthropology rather gets 'sublated' in the course of my argument, though I often start from anthropological data since in modern culture anthropology has been treated as the basis of religion. The importance of sublation or elevation into something else within the procedure of my argument is presented in this book with excellent clarity.”

Theology in a Global Context

Theology

“Hans Schwarz's Theology in a Global Context is the most comprehensive survey of theology and related literature during the last two hundred years. As such, it is a remarkable achievement. One of the book's advantages is that it presents all of the individual theologians in their social and cultural setting along with paying attention to their personal biographies. This book will prove helpful to those who study the course of modern theology in the last centuries.”
