More DescriptionGeorge Lindbeck once characterized post-liberalism, which received its initial structure from his book "The Nature of Doctrine," as an attempt to recover pre-modern scriptural interpretation in contemporary form. In this book, Jane Barter Moulaison explores the success of that effort through a close examination of Lindbeck's own theological contributions. Taking seriously the ecumenical promises of Lindbeck's writing (he was instrumental in advancing Lutheran and Roman Catholic dialogue throughout the 1960s, '70s, and '80s), this book brings Lindbeck's famous cultural-linguistic model of religion into dialogue with Christianity's theological forbears: specifically, the Eastern progenitors of orthodox confession. This constellation of theological voices - Lindbeck, his supporters and detractors, along with patristic theologians - is meant not only to test the viability of a religious model but, more importantly, to advance Lindbeck's project in ways that have not yet been pursued.
