The Word As True Myth

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of theology and modernity, Gary Dorrien examines how twentieth-century Christians have navigated their faith amidst Enlightenment skepticism and scientific thought. He highlights the responses of key theologians to the challenge of myth in contemporary Christianity. Dorrien ultimately presents his own "new neo-orthodoxy," advocating for a pluralistic theology that embraces the mythical aspects of the gospel while remaining grounded in the historical critique of idolatry found in the Gospels.
