The goal of this anthology is to collect key samples of Lindbeck's enterprise, especially for readers who may know none or only a few of his books and articles. The samples may, for some, speak for themselves. For others, the editor has provided a brief preface to each selection to help readers unfamiliar with Lindbeck understand what is at stake. Buckley's aim is to suggest how Lindbeck's Christian theology of "the Church in a postliberal age" can be read as a "radical tradition". By characterizing Lindbeck's Christian theology as at once evangelical, catholic and postliberal, we are able to understand what describing this theology as a radical tradition might mean as well as locate some of his critics. This volume provides a useful introduction to all those interested in Lindbeck's thought as well as to the significant debates surrounding postliberalism.

A great collection of essays with introductions by the editor, that assists in bringing the full flavor of Lindbeck's "research project" out for the reader of both technical theology and more popular ecclesiology. Lindbeck's work has the virtue of being both accessible to most corners of the Church while remaining somehow theologically rigorous, at least in its nature as a framework, and not necessarily a systematic dogmatics. This collection helps to both introduce and further students of The Nature Of Doctrine, which is represented here by a few essays. The personal information in the front of the book, from Lindbeck himself, is fascinating and helpful to see the vision he infuses in every technical term and in every ecumenical attempt. Highly Recommended.
