Constructive Theology of Bernard Meland Postliberal Empirical Realism

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the thought of ChicagoDivinity School theologian Bernard Meland (1871-1993). Tyron Inbody placesMeland's theology within the development of the liberal tradition. He arguesthat Meland was a precursor of liberal developments in epistemology --especially in his view of how experience, language, and culture are related.Inbody explores the extent to which Meland was both representative and criticalof process theology. He concludes with an assessment of Meland's contribution topostliberal theology. Inbody's work not only sheds light on the work of thisimportant but neglected thinker, but is in its own right a contribution toempirical theology, theological epistemology, process theology, and the historyof liberal theology in North America.Inbody, Tyron is the author of 'Constructive Theology of Bernard Meland Postliberal Empirical Realism' with ISBN 9781555409906 and ISBN 1555409903.
