Partnership in the Gospel: Seven Exercises in Liberal Biblical Theology
Ebook
Many of our current, lasting controversies in American Christianity are due, in part, to the willingness of liberals to champion reason and experience while leaving Scripture and tradition to conservatives, and vice versa. The liberal biblical theological voice, once quite strong, has fallen silent.
Grounded in a solid knowledge of biblical study, Partnership in the Gospel presents a series of exercises, or angles of perspective, intended to support the rigorous consideration of biblical theological perspective that preachers, teachers, and lay leaders need. This work draws from a range of scholarly, theological, and everyday voices, and with kindred works of poetry, art, music, and literature, to explore the Bible's unifying themes through "partnerships" of perspective. Each chapter offers an exercise that integrates Scripture, experience, tradition, and reason--the four sides of John Wesley's "Quadrilateral"--as the means by which to engage with the gospel and appreciate a liberal biblical theology.
“Robert Hill’s Partnership in the Gospel invites us into the exercise rooms of liberal biblical theology. With a pastor’s heart and a scholar’s mind, Hill asks us to join the ‘commonwealth of the gospel.’ This volume abounds with fresh theological insights, deep biblical exploration, rich pastoral experience, and a teacher’s gift for inductive counsel. Here is a valuable reminder of how self-critical and liberating faith is discovered, then re-discovered, and then lived out every day.”
—Philip Amerson, president emeritus, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
“This book is a gem, offering me Bible study unlike any I have read since graduate school, along with warm, human stories told by one who has heard people tell them or seen people live them. Robert Hill is a pastor/scholar writing to a denomination hellbent on tearing itself apart.”
—William A. Ritter, retired United Methodist pastor
