This magisterial book by respected Catholic scholar Robert Barron follows an ecumenically attractive approach and offers a postmodern, Catholic systematic theology, boldly arguing that it can invigorate Roman Catholic theology and church life.

Father Barron argues that the standard "modern" or "liberal" approach to four theological areas–Christology, epistemology, the doctrine of God, and ethics–is inadequate, then demonstrates a more satisfactory postliberal approach. His expansive text argues for the importance and truth of postliberal’s basic Christ-centered approach and recasts epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics around that christocentric base. As such, his book will be of use both in Catholic schools and theology courses and in Protestant seminaries.
