Its emphasis on the biblical text and Jesus Christ - by whom all other reality needs to be construed - may turn out to be the most significant theological realignment in more than a century. Are we seeing a paradigm shift? Can evangelicals and postliberals make common confession? In this groundbreaking book, creative evangelical and postliberal thinkers explore exactly how they agree and disagree along a range of issues, from epistemology and theological method to doctrinal concerns. Evangelical contributors include such significant theologians as Alister McGrath and Gabriel Fackre. Postliberal contributors include George Lindbeck, a ""founding father"" of postliberalism, and George Hunsinger, the former student and major interpreter of the late Hans Frei, another ""founder"" of postliberalism. The Nature of Confession robustly initiates a discussion of real importance to both the academy and the church.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Timothy R.
