A Selection of Stanley Grenz books
Primer on Postmodernism, 1996. The first chapter gives us the beautiful metaphor for modernism and postmodernism - Star Trek as a series. The first series - boldness and certainty. The second series - humility, subtlety and uncertainty. It’s on the list for my research blog at Generations in Conversation.
Theology for the Community of God, 2000. An exploration of the challenges of doing theology, drawing on a wide range of traditions. I’ll be exploring this at some point at God Post.
Renewing the Center: Evangelical Theology in a Post-Theological Era, 2000. Here Stanley’s paving the way for a more ‘generous orthodoxy’ in which Christians can get over the polarisation between Evangelical and Liberal.
Rediscovering the Triune God, 2004. An exploration of trinitarian theology - forming the basis for a relational approach to Christian faith.
I’m glad Stanley managed to publish so much of his thinking. I’m sad that I won’t get the chance to meet him in person, or dialogue with him online, or see his ongoing development of theology.
