This book is a contribution to the existing body of philosophical and theological thought. It is a personal account, not an historical account or chronological one. The approach taken reflects the metamorphosis from a classical to a contemporary view of theology. The book is an excellent tool, one which faithfully reflects the word of God. It stresses that through personal engagement with the spirit of God one may begin to understand religious experience, thereby enabling one’s personal faith conviction. The primary purpose of theological study is spiritual growth, while intellectual understanding is of secondary importance. The deepening of theological understanding, it appears, has been achieved not by ecclesiastical officials, but by faithful individuals sometimes even in opposition to official interpretation. Furthermore, individuals need to accept their co-creative relationships with that which is divine. A viable future Church must relinquish its hold on sovereignty and centralization and institute a decision-making procedure through the principle of subsidiarity. An incursion into the Modernist movement clarifies new interpretations within theological thinking illuminating the potential development in the future Church. This book passes as not only an informative guide to reflection on the interpretation of truth, but serves as a must read for any serious student of theology, which compels the reader to examine his or her own life in the search for truth.
