Format: Paperback
David Tracy is one of the most brilliant Christian theologians of this generation. He is also one of the most generous. Even as a young man, his range was breath-taking. His endnotes take his readers on guided tours of the best recent scholarship in a dozen fields, including philosophy, history, psychology, sociology, literary criticism, Biblical studies, comparative religious studies, hermeneutics, and critical theory. No serious work on the topic he has chosen is ignored. Each is cited for its strengths; none are trivialized or merely dismissed. Over the years, his range has remained remarkable, while his theology has become richer, subtler, more sensitive to human cruelty and human suffering, to conflicts, interruptions, displacements, blind alleys, and states of extreme tension and danger. He has been one of the great teachers of theology in this generation, a mentor to dozens of important younger scholars in a variety of church traditions. This book marked a kind of mid-point in his career. In it he grapples with the difficult question of how a particular event, a particular person, a particular tradition or a particular expression of passion, discipline and insight can become of general and even universal relevance and fundamental importance.

Format: Paperback
Tracy attempts to reach a methodological framework from which to account for the vast differences in theological doctrines--that is, plurality. His scholarship is erudite and felicitously written. He draws on all the big names in philosophy and theology, but his system remains lacking because of its reliance upon a Kantian view of knowledge and in the end there is little room for actual truth. Rather, truth is more practical in providing existential answers to various situations. Tracy's spirit in writing is good. Christians should work to keep theology vital and public. Utlimately though, Tracy's book is a deft move to declare relativism the norm of praxis.
