The Knowledge of Things Hoped for The Sense of Theological Discourse Robert W. Jenson - U.S.A. Oxford University Press 1969 - 243tr. hardcover, illustrations 21 cm
What sort of meaning for today's world emerges in theological discourse? ""We sit in the pew,"" the author writes, ""and ask, 'But what does the preacher mean?' We climb the pulpit with despair of the words we must utter--a despair present for a generation at least, but now become explicit."" The suspicion that talk about God makes less and less sense is set both by the dominance of the sciences as models of certainty, and by our increasing acceptance of historical relativism.The order of Dr. Jenson's book follows the order of his search for verifiability
