Beschreibung:
David H. Hopper (1927-2020) taught in the religious studies department at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, for thirty-eight years. His other books include A Dissent on Bonhoeffer and Technology, Theology, and the Idea of Progress.
In this book David H. Hopper explores why the doctrine of transcendence of God has been lost to contemporary theology, in conversation with H. Richard Niebuhr, Martin Luther, Martin Bucer, John Calvin, and Francis Bacon.Hopper argues that the problem is, in a word, tolerance. He acknowledges the pragmatic worth of tolerance for getting on with necessary tasks, but expresses reservations about the sufficient, sustaining nature of tolerance for the faith community in an altered, global world. Divine Transcendence and the Culture of Change seeks to reclaim necessary dimensions of faith that have collapsed into the cultural vacuum created by thoughtless tolerance, and to restore God's transcendence to the center of all biblical religion.
