| Abstract
|
:
|
"Bosch examins the entire sweep of Christian tradition to show historically how five paradigms have encapsualted the Christian understand of how God saves and what human beings should do in response. Bosch then outlines the key charactersitcs of an emergin 'postmodern' paradigm dialectically linking salvation's transcendent and immanent dimensions." --from back cover
