Synopsis:
Always provocative, especially in the wide range of opinions that he has held and considered, Pinnock's work in the course of his career has dealt with the essential topics in evangelical theology. These include such important topics as Christian apologetics, biblical inspiration, the Holy Spirit and, perhaps most importantly in recent years, openness theology. The essays in this volume, by those who both agree and disagree with Pinnock's stances on these issues, address various dimensions of these important subjects - as an attempt to enhance understanding and push forward debate. Along the way, one gains appreciation for the signal contribution that Pinnock has made to evangelical theology. His colleagues and associates have recorded in this volume their responses to his views including David Basinger, Donald G. Bloesch, Greg Boyd, Stanley J. Grenz, I. Howard Marshall, John G. Stackhouse and Amos Yong.
