"The Christian Century, the most distinguished weekly of independent Protestant opinion, periodically reviews the shifting currents of theological conviction. At the invitation of Harold E. Fey, editor of the Christian Century, thirteen outstanding religious thinkers and leaders were recently asked to assess the impact of the last decade upon their work and thought. Many of these essays have already provoked considerable comment, notably Karl Barth's defense of his heterodox views on East-West political relations and Bishop Pike's second thoughts on traditional Christian creedal affirmations. Several of the essays, notably by John C. Bennett, Martin Luther King, Jr., Albert C. Outler, and Bishop Pike, have been revised and expanded for this book. The enduing value of these essays--the value that justifies their preservation in book form--arises from the sense of growth, change, and refinement which time and persistent thought work on the formulations of theology and faith. all of the contributors--and particularly H. Richard Niebuhr, Will Herberg, John C. Bennett, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Paul Tillich--emphasize that both theology and faith are directed towards history and are marked and altered by the imperatives of historical events." -Publisher
