Breakthrough Contemporary Theology!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Sallie McFague's book excellently redefines how God should be envisioned in the current, postmodern society. McFague does an excellent job constructing a positive image of God that should be considered by any modern reader, especially one interested in the ecological crisis or the nuclear threat. Drawing upon the progress of earlier theologians in these areas, McFague has written an intense and incredibly important book for the modern era, and one that should be seriously considered by every person who is concerned about the state of the planet and of all humanity. In addition to the above positive points, McFague's book is an enticing read; it is also very thorough and scholarly in its development. Simply stated, it's a "must read."
