Systematic Theology Volume Two the Word of Life by Thomas Oden

Oden, Thomas C.: - Thomas C. Oden, the retired Henry Anson Buttz Professor of Theology and Ethics, is an ancient ecumenical evangelical with a passion for orthodoxy. For over thirty years he taught at Drew University and came under the influence of his irascible, endearing Jewish mentor Will Herberg. Herberg bluntly told Oden that he would remain densely uneducated unless he read deeply in patristic writers. This focus on patristics (the early church fathers) helped professor Oden to realize that modernity is over. As he probed the early church writers for several decades, he incorporated and rechanneled his activism and idealism for the modernist social gospel into a recovery of the classic religious tradition. Scripture found new life in him, which means he repented an enthrallment with progressive social causes in favor of a stable two-thousand year memory, which he defines as orthodoxy.
