"What role does scripture play in the task of the church? What value do past theological constructs offer today? How does culture affect theological reflection? For that matter, of all the diverse ways Christian belief is expressed, what makes any of them "Christian"?" "In Beyond Foundationalism, Stanley Grenz and John Franke move past the foundationalism of the Enlightenment period to offer a revolutionary method for doing theology in a postmodern age. Writing to both mainline and evangelical traditions, they propose a new method that views theology as arising out of the interplay of the Spirit, which speaks authoritatively through the biblical text; tradition, which provides a historical interpretative framework; and culture, which gives context for constructive theological reflection. This method, they argue, fosters a Christian theology that embodies a Trinitarian structure, utilizes the faith community as the organizing principle or integrative motif, and features an eschatological orientation."--Jacket.
