Theology, History, and Ethics

Let theologians be Christians and thereby really have something to say to one another, to the university, and to the wider world.”—Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary “How wonderful to have Webster’s Culture of Theology edited and made available to a new generation of readers in this fine book. I count myself fortunate to have had the challenge in these chapters—to strive to think of theology, its methods, aims, and practices, theologically— put to me during my student days and to have been compelled to John Webster (1955–2016; PhD, University of wrestle continuously with the possibilities and perils of doing theology Cambridge), one of the world’s most significant in the eschatological space created by the ‘staggering good news of Jesus systematic theologians, was latterly professor of I Christ.’ This book stands as a winsome invitation to others to do the divinity at the University of St. -
