Justin Genus’s Reviews > The Method of Christian Theology: A Basic Introduction > Status Update

Faith and Reason is a make-or-break issue for a prolegomena, and Putman acquits himself well with a measured "faith seeking understanding" approach. He could have defined "reason" more clearly, but he generally appeals to it as a faculty more than an extant body of knowledge (thankfully). Relating reason to notia was a good touch. He convinced me that doubt is the lesser form of unbelief (not the other way around).

Back at this. The chapter on various theological disciplines was fairly milktoast, which means it was a good survey. The chapter on the character of a theologian is one I'll return to.

Concept of dortrine allowing one to be placed in the "story" of redemption is worth exploring further. Really enjoying this so far

Ch 2 was quite good. Best explanation of equivocal, univocal, and analogical language I can remember (though Kapic may have done this well in his Theological method).

Really promisinf introduction. Loved his explanation of what "reason" is (a capacity, not a body of competing doctrine). Interesting that other religions rarely systematize their "theology."
