Living Reflections: Theology, Philosophy, and Hermeneutics
This collection of essays by Dr. Gregory J. Laughery explores issues surrounding the veracity of Scripture and the future of the church. Harsh reductionism and tendencies toward polarization offer deceptive promises of short-term resolution and blanket certainty. And all too often these feuding extremes function as the patron saints of Christian thought in disputes over philosophy, theology, language, interpretation, and how they interact with one another.
In Living Reflections, Dr. Laughery moves in a different direction. He seeks instead to establish a space for dialogue on a variety of complex issues such as the role of language and its possibilities, as well as sustainable methods for interpreting texts, events, and one’s self. In this way, Laughery mediates one-sided arguments and depicts a new vision for engaging these contested issues. Challenging and insightful, Living Reflections invokes a perceptive wisdom going beyond modernist and postmodernist perspectives, affirming the tension-filled and organic character of Christian truth.
