The Culture of Theology | John Webster

The Culture of Theology This extraordinary work presents a short yet profound exposition on the nature of Christian theology. In a series of six lectures, John Webster invites us to reflect on the privilege of thinking and speaking about God, based on the “stunning good news of Jesus Christ.” Webster argues that good theology is born when we recognize the gospel as the most important reality of all. He examines the role of the church, the Bible, and tradition as foundations of the unique “cultural world” created by the gospel, and addresses both the challenges and the pleasures of living within this theological sphere. Combining scholarship and spirituality, the author shows that the heart of the theological vocation lies in prayer, while also highlighting the responsibilities of theology in its academic dialogue, its self-criticism, and its moral life. This edition features an introduction by Ivor J. Davidson, a close colleague of Webster who closely followed the development of the original lectures.
