| Summary: | Oliver Crisp is a leading figure in an interesting group of generally evangelical writers trained as analytical philosophers; and this book is avowedly an ‘exercise in analytical theology’. It would be truer to say that it is eight such exercises, as each chapter is more or less self-contained., He begins with what he calls ‘Christological method’—e.g. what authorities individual theologians need to listen to when doing their work, and to what extent they should work ‘from above’ or ‘from below’. And here we run up against a problem. Crisp’s own position is often sensible and clearly stated, but he does not always pay much attention to other views. For instance, he regards the decisions of the early councils as second only in authority to Scripture. |
