Gillespie -- the nature and role of Christian theology as servant of the church. Twenty-five contributing scholars approach this theme in strikingly original ways, offering diverse and ecumenically minded essays that make both a fitting tribute to Gillespie's legacy and a substantial contribution to theological inquiry in their own right.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Thomas W.
