{"product_id":"taking-the-long-view-david-steinmetz-9780199768943","title":"Taking the Long View: Christian Theology in Historical Perspective","description":"Taking the Long View argues in a series of engagingly written essays that remembering the past is essential for men and women who want to function effectively in the present--for without some knowledge of their own past, neither individuals nor institutions know where they have been or where they are going. The book illustrates its thesis with tough-minded examples from the Church's life and thought, ranging from more abstract problems like the theoretical role of historical criticism to such painfully concrete issues as the commandment of Jesus to forgive unforgivable wrongs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Steinmetz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199768943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199768943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2011 pg. 42","brand":"David Steinmetz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43914293870847,"sku":"9780199768943","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c5d91743-13b3-4742-9434-1346aeea6129.jpg?v=1680641467","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taking-the-long-view-david-steinmetz-9780199768943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
