Continuity and Change in Society and Theology

Abstract

“Are there abiding principles of selection in the Hebrew-Christian tradition which provide for the re-formation of tradition itself? Perhaps the major division among theologians today is over that question. Some argue that the Hebrew-Christian tradition is to be reformed from within its own presuppositions; others argue that it can only be reformed from without by some really new presuppositions of the twentieth century. As a participant in the cybernetic age, I am inclined to think that the answer here again is ‘both.’”
