Weinandy wrote the foreword.<br /><br />It's actually interesting so far re: the biblical stuff. He's pretty critical about how the classical Christian tradition has handled the strong passibilist stream in the biblical material. He's also critical about how some passibilists have handled it. He argues that the tension between the passibilist and impassibilist streams is one rooted in the Bible itself and the tension needs to be preserved in contemporary theology. The question is how that is done.<br /><br />I have yet to see how he'll try to handle it. But I am broadly sympathetic to his goal - seeking a via media between the classical tradition and the more recent passibilist trend. <br /><br />I imagine that thou art more of a passibilist.

I think Fiddes and Tom Weinandy used to be sparring partners on this one. Perhaps they still are. :)David Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886492671751634816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713231510890712652.post-86422070963532997632009-08-07T09:20:10.108+01:002009-08-07T09:20:10.108+01:00I love Frances Young!

I did not realise that she had written that book. Thanks for the heads up.Robin Parryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856329564156757485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713231510890712652.post-60440271114208266822009-08-06T21:18:43.319+01:002009-08-06T21:18:43.319+01:00Have you read Frances Young, Face to face: a narra...Have you read Frances Young, <i>Face to face: a narrative essay in the theology of suffering</i>? She writes very movingly about the experience of caring for her disabled son Arthur, and still manages to find solace in the notion of divine impassibility. Very good book indeed - entirely convinced me that the Fathers were right!JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285734471152709943noreply@blogger.com
