Gateways to Dogmatics : Reasoning Theologically for the Life of the Church

This is a magnificent account of christian dogmatics for our day. combining precision with imagination, gerhard sauter shows how dogmatics, truly understood, is not a closed system but a place where expressions of faith converge, opening up hope for the future. it is also a forum for engaging in dialogue. while always provisional, sauter argues, dogmatics is grounded in the promises and presence of god, and so makes clear what ‘must be said’ under all circumstances. this volume has an astonishing scope and comprehensiveness, as sauter outlines the role of dogmatics in offering theological justification for all areas of church life-worship, pastoral care, mission, and ethics. this is truly authoritative work the encourages lively exploration in thought and faith.
