In this carefully argued essay, David Bentley Hart critiques the concept of ""tradition"" that has become dominant in Christian thought as fundamentally incoherent. He puts forth a convincing new explanation of Christian tradition, one that is obedient to the nature of Christianity not only as a ""revealed"" creed embodied in historical events but as the ""apocalyptic"" revelation of a history that is largely identical with the eternal truth it supposedly discloses. Hart shows that Christian tradition is sustained not simply by its preservation of the past, but more essentially by its anticipation of the future. He offers a compelling portrayal of a living tradition held together by apocalyptic expectation--the promised transformation of all things in God.  aTradition (Theology)4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14632/t.jpgyCover Image
