The renewed church and the nouvelle théologie -- Revelation, faith, and the knowledge of God -- On the dynamics of faith and reason : the differentiated unity of nature and grace -- Scripture and tradition in relation to revelation and to the church -- Scripture, tradition and theological authority -- The development of dogma -- Epilogue : the significance of Berkouwer for the adventure of ecumenicity.
Summary: "Gerrit Cornelis Berkouwer (1903-1996) was a great master of dogmatic and ecumenical theology. He was a Reformed Protestant thinker, with roots in Dutch neo-Calvinism, a holder of the Chair in Dogmatics (1945-1974) at the Free University, Amsterdam, a position previously held by his two illustrious neo-Calvinist predecessors, Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) and Herman Bavinck (1854-1921). Echeverria provides a much needed in-depth analysis and critique of his theology, particularly his evolving relationship with Catholicism in light of Vatican II. His contention is that Berkouwer's careful and nuanced examination of Catholic theology--as well as possible responses to his critiques--offers important clues for the contemporary ecumenical project."--Publisher's description.Summary: Berkouwer and Catholicism: Disputed Questions offers an in-depth analysis and critique of Berkouwer's theology, particulary his evolving relationship with Catholicism in light of Vatican II and the nouvelle théologie.
