About the author
Jordan Senner is the Rector of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Costa Mesa, USA. He received a PhD in Theology from the University of St Andrews, UK.
Summary
Jordan Senner captures the systematic shape, logic, and development of his thought from the vantage point of the God-creature relation. Webster’s development is depicted in terms of three phases – Christocentric, Trinitarian, and Theocentric – culminating in a conceptual analysis of three key aspects of his mature theology: his doctrine of divine perfection, theory of mixed relations, and concept of dual causality. Senner illustrates this heuristic framework for interpreting Webster’s theology through an exploration of different aspects of his account of the God-creature relation: Christology (hypostatic relation), ecclesiology (redemptive relation), bibliology (communicative relation), and theological theology (rational relation).
This volume not only provides a dynamic introduction to Webster’s theology as a whole, but it also includes fascinating forays into the complexities of Webster’s engagement with Barth and Aquinas, raising interesting questions for constructive theological dialogue that is neither straightforwardly Protestant nor Catholic.
