Family-owned bookshop in Steubenville, Ohio. Books shipped within 24 hours. Ex-library with usual marks. Some underlining observed throughout text. No dust jacket. Binding is tight and square. No dust jacket. . . . . . . Starting from the study of the Church Fathers , Ritschl came to a deep penetration of the basic problems of systematic theology . Above all, his studies on metaphor theory and the investigation of the structure of biblical narratives made him a connoisseur and inspirer of an analytical understanding of church teaching. The building blocks of the story concept from Mainz and the Implicit Axioms - the title of his inaugural lecture in Heidelberg - he put together in his systematic draft On the Logic of Theology. He also made a name for himself in medical ethics through lecturing and publishing. He played a key role in the editing of the journal for ethics in medicine . He worked on the boards of various associations that deal with the connection between medicine, creativity and psychology , i.e. the field of psychosomatics , which is still to be worked on . Because for him the most important thing was people as the addressee of the biblical message, he always built a bridge between theology and the neighboring fields of medicine , psychology and culture .
