When I heard about this book on a theology podcast four months ago, I immediately did two things: 1) I ordered a dozen copies for EN leaders, and 2) I asked Dr. Jun Escosar to schedule a meeting with the author. While in Manila last month, I had the privilege of meeting with Dr. Pardue to discuss his book. Great talk and a great book!
. . . the unique calling of the theologian is to consider God and all things in relation to him. Theology exists because God has spoken, revealing himself and his designs for his people in Holy Scripture. The theologian’s prime directive, therefore, is to guide the church in the patient, disciplined work of hearing and obeying the God who has rescued them and seeks the reconciliation of all things by the blood of his cross.
