THE EVANGELICAL FAITH: PROLEGOMENA: THE RELATION OF THEOLOGY TO MODERN THOUGHT-FORMS Now available in paperback, Helmut Thielicke's widely acclaimed and ambitious work to construct a system of Christian theology that is responsive to the needs and questions of the modern age. The product of a lifetime of scholarship, 'The Evangelical Faith' constitutes a comprehensive three-volume dogmatics of the Christian faith. This first olume divides contemporary theological thought into two kinds. The first is essentially Cartesian, reflecting an emphasis on the 'I' who is to receive the message of the gospel. By contrast the second focuses on the message itself, refusing to allow the 'I' to limit its natureor its effectiveness. Thielicke considers how both approaches attempt conscientiously to address the Christian message to the contemporary world - and he seeks to establish clear agendas for both.
