Seller's Description:
New. Author of the seminal history of Christian doctrine, The Christian Tradition, as well as a definitive historical and theological guide to Christian creeds and the now classic texts on Jesus and Mary, the late Jaroslave Pelikan has the enviable and earned reputation of possessing not only a prodigious intellect but also (to quote Harold Bloom) a 'benign and spiritually fortifying' one. His last book takes a similar tack to his theological histories of Jesus and Mary, studying the Bible's evolution from Jewish oral tradition to its many modern translations and configurations. Acknowledging the potentially presumptuous and blasphemous nature of his question-Whose Bible Is It? -in light of the Jewish and Christian shared belief that we are 'not the subject but the object' in our encounter with the word of God, Pelikan points out the God of Abraham is not a God who writes but a God who speaks. It's this declaration that frames a 'distinctive creed of Christianity that the speaking of God had 'become flesh' and taken human form, ' which Pelikan uses to trace the development of the Christian Bibles from the Hebrew Tanakh. Maybe most importantly, he reminds us that the Scriptures depend on their Jewish and Christian communities not only to preserve and transmit the texts but also to continue interpreting and reinterpreting them with studious integrity. Having achieved immortality in this world through his scholarly work, we pray him eternal rest in the Kingdom not of this world, which he sought in ways too numerous to describe.
