Theology in the service of the church : essays in honor of Thomas Gillespie

This volume celebrates and extends a theme central to the work of Princeton Seminary President Thomas W.

Gillespie -- the nature and role of Christian theology as servant of the church.

Twenty-five contributing scholars approach this theme in strikingly original ways, offering diverse and ecumenically minded essays that make both a fitting tribute to Gillespie's legacy and a substantial contribution to theological inquiry in their own right.
