Overview
Brown's theory of tradition stands on its own as a significant contribution to the academic study of religions, but it also provides the framework for a challenging critique of contemporary American theologies-conservative, liberal, and radical - and the basis for a novel understanding of the significance of the racial/ethnic, feminist, and class-identified theologies now emerging.
Delwin Brown is Harvey H. Potthoff Professor of Christian Theology at the Iliff School of Theology.

Booknews
A four-pronged argument about attempts to connect liberal Western religions, theologies, and culture with genuine cultural tradition: traditions must be recognized as both innovative and conservative; post-liberal thought is possible without repristinizing religion; American empiricism is a better approach than the Kantian perspective; and the Bible does not so much set norms as allow Christians to author themselves.
