Idealism and Christian Theology : Idealism and Christianity Volume 1

In the recent history of philosophy few works have appeared which favorably portray Idealism as a plausible philosophical view of the world. Considerably less has been written about Idealism as a viable framework for doing theology. While the most recent and significant works on Idealism, composed by the late John Foster ("Case for Idealism" and "A World for Us: The Case for Phenomenological Idealism"), have put this theory back on the philosophical map, no such attempt has been made to re-introduce Idealism to contemporary Christian theology. "Idealism and Christian Theology "is such a work, retrieving ideas and arguments from its most significant modern exponents (especially George Berkeley and Jonathan Edwards) in order to assess its value for present and future theological construction. As a piece of constructive philosophical-theology itself, this volume considers the explanatory power an Idealist ontology has for contemporary Christian theology. [Publisher's Text]
