Theologians such as Hans Frei, Paul Holmer, David Kelsey, and\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Lindbeck were influential and were significantly influenced by\u003cbr\u003etheologians such as Karl Barth, Clifford Geertz, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.Postliberalism uses a narrative approach to\u003cbr\u003etheology, such as developed by Hans Frei, and argues that all thought and\u003cbr\u003eexperience is historically and socially mediated.\u003cbr\u003eMichener provides the reader with an accessible introductory\u003cbr\u003eoverview of the origins, current thought, potential problems, and future\u003cbr\u003epossibilities of postliberal theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780567030344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"T\u0026T Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40619749507278,"sku":"9780567030344","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780567030344","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
