Covenant and Eschatology: The Divine Drama

Horton provides an introduction to the systematic theological enterprise that is also sensitive to the narrative drama at the heart of Scripture. Discussion of theological method has often been disconnected from the theology it is meant to introduce, and foreign philosophical influences often intrude. While Horton does not deride philosophy as such, he does stress the fact that the subject of theology ought to determine its method. In contrast to much modern theology, Horton proposes a redemptive-historical method, an analogical mode, a dramatic model, and a covenantal context for reintegrating the fragmented discipline of modern theology. - Jeff Waddington - Westminster Bookstore Staff
