Within
these pages are the last two previously unpublished works from notable
American evangelical theologian, Donald. G. Bloesch.
In his spiritual autobiography, Faith in Search of Obedience,
Bloesch describes the foundation upon which own theology is based,
namely, "a faith in search of obedience." This honest and challenging
work reveals and reminds how we are justified by faith alone, but that
faith drives us to obey and delight in God's law as we strive to perfect
love through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Paradox of Holiness
presents the theology of spiritual life as it is shaped and defined by
the Word of God. Through this theological exposition, Bloesch presents
and explores the paradox that exists in the pursuit of holiness for
those who believe.
For the theologian, pastor or lay person who
is seeking to combine Word and Spirit, doctrine and life, into an active
theology, this two-in-one volume by Donald Bloesch provides an honest
and sober account of the challenges that may arise throughout the
Christian pilgrimage, while pointing toward the hope, encouragement and
new life that comes through the triumph of Christ on the cross.
