Opis

Drawing on the work of sociologists, O'Collins breaks new ground in the theology of tradition. He illustrates the all-pervasive presence of traditions and presents the risen Christ as the tradition.

Recenzje

O'Collins places his work in the centre ground of Christian theological education to achieve the widest usefulness... His argument is steady, unswerving and convincing. His chosen tool, so to speak, is neither the sledgehammer nor the scalpel, but the trowel; with it he both digs and builds. The authorial voice is not intrusive; it serves the task and so serves the church.
