In each of these conversations, doing theology in the presence of God functions as a consistent thread. God is not mere object but truly functions as subject in the process of theological growth, though God's presence and agency fund rather than negate creaturely theological responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fear of the Lord: Essays on Theological Method\u003c\/i\u003e explores some of the most central questions of contemporary theological method - revelation, Scripture, theological interpretation, retrieval, intellectual asceticism, scholastic method - by asking in each and every case what it means to think fundamentally of the perfect and present God involved and active in these spheres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567699277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567699275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Michael Allen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992236294399,"sku":"9780567699275","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee2291c1-467d-42f0-9b68-07d25ac2c988.jpg?v=1683314810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fear-of-the-lord-michael-allen-9780567699275","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
