Beyond Foundationalism:
Shaping Theology in a Postmodern Context
By Stanley J. Grenz & John R. Franke
In Beyond Foundationalism, Grenz and Franke offer a revolutionary
methodology for doing theology in a postmodern age. Writing to both
mainline and evangelical theologians, they propose a new theological
method that uses three sources: the Spirit, speaking authoritatively
through the biblical text; tradition, providing a historical interpretive
framework; and culture, as context for constructive theological
reflection. This method, they argue, fosters a Christian theology
that acknowledges the whole of God (Father, Son, and Spirit); utilizes
the faith community as the organizing principle or integrative motif;
and is future-oriented.
