THEOLOGICAL METHOD
Theological Method and Imagination is not an essay in dogmatic theology. It is a "look at a variety of things commonly judged to be foundational methodological concerns for theology." And it is ... vintage Hartt. The eight essays that make up this volume are an investigation of the nature of theology and the metaphysical implications, whether or not consciously acknowledged, of a Christian view of "what is." These essays are not light reading. They are laced with important but sometimes subtle distinctions between image and concept, world view and vision, inference and implication, immanent and transcendent modes of hope, the credible and the creditable, the content of a command and its mode of address, the historicality of the Gospel and modern "historical evidentiality," verisimilitude and fact-confirmation. But this heavy porridge is also spiced with frequent allusions to Shakespeare, Faulkner, Tennyson, Whitman, O'Connor, and a host of other novelists, poets, and historians.
