The goal of this anthology is to collect key samples of Lindbeck"s enterprise, especially for readers who may know none or only a few of his books and articles. The samples may, for some, speak for themselves. For others, the editor has provided a brief preface to each selection to help readers unfamiliar with Lindbeck understand what is at stake. Buckley"s aim is to suggest how Lindbeck"s Christian theology of "the Church in a postliberal age" can be read as a "radical tradition". By characterizing Lindbeck"s Christian theology as at once evangelical, catholic and postliberal, we are able to understand what describing this theology as a radical tradition might mean as well as locate some of his critics. This volume provides a useful introduction to all those interested in Lindbeck"s thought as well as to the significant debates surrounding postliberalism.
