{"product_id":"on-being-a-christian-in-andrew-sloane-9781597527712","title":"On Being a Christian in the Academy","description":"Having identified crucial flaws in both classical foundationalism and cognitive relativism, Andrew Sloane expounds Wolterstorff's theory of rationality and his understanding of the devising and weighing of theories. The role of control beliefs in scholarship and the place of Christian beliefs in the practice of Christian scholarship are explored. The author then critically appraises Wolterstorff's view in dialogue with its rivals. He presents a defensible person-specific but nonrelativist criterion of theory choice and outlines an organic epistemological metaphor. The book concludes by exploring the implications of these findings for theological scholarship, in particular Old Testament exegesis. The author suggests that Wolterstorff's notion of scholarly practice explains the practice of scholarship and is to be commended to Christian scholars as a cogent and challenging method of devising and appraising theories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Sloane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597527718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597527712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.02w x 0.66d","brand":"Andrew Sloane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431386599679,"sku":"9781597527712","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4bd7c48-5f2a-4b3b-b98b-9621d99af087.jpg?v=1735141170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-being-a-christian-in-andrew-sloane-9781597527712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
