The Theology of Polyphony
Essays for David Fergusson
Description
What does it mean to speak and write theology from different perspectives and in different voices?
This volume presents a wide variety of perspectives on this perennial question, ranging from biblical and historical through literary and musical to theological and practical, and its contributors represent a range of confessional standpoints.
The essays are in honour of Professor David Fergusson, one of the most significant teachers and researchers in contemporary systematic theology, formerly Chair of Divinity at Edinburgh and currently Regius Chair at Cambridge.
