Beschreibungen
<span><span>The central concern of </span><span>Truth, Community, and the Prophetic Voice</span><span> is to ask how it might be possible today to uphold an understanding of the prophetic voice that comports in essential ways with its expression in the biblical vision, while attending especially to contemporary judgments regarding the epistemological significance of community and concerns about the nature and function of claims to truth. Ultimately and more specifically, </span><span>Christopher J. Libby</span><span> hopes to gain some purchase on what an adequate contemporary Christian theological rendering of the prophetic looks like. He argues that it is not only possible to provide a non-foundationalist account of the prophetic voice, but that that voice is able to come truly into its own when cast in a non-foundationalist frame. </span></span>
<span><span>In this book, Libby retrieves the moral and theological vision of the biblical prophets in light of contemporary judgments regarding the epistemological significance of community and concerns about the nature of truth.</span></span>
