The Theater of God - Paperback

by Robert Paul Roth (Author)

This exploration in creative theology aims to discover what will happen to Christian doctrine if the category of story is substituted for all the philosophical metaphors and scientific models that have been previously used to give intellectual shape to the gospel . As a systematic theologian, Robert Paul Roth constructs an ontology of story and applies it to the doctrines of the church.
