A collection of essays, prompted by Lindbeck's "The Nature of Doctrine: Religion and Theology in a Postliberal Age", discussing points raised by the work, particularly about how theology remains faithful to its roots while adapting in radically diverse cultures. David Tracy, for example, seeks to pin down the ground common to all Christians on which would stand any fruitful ecumenical dialogue. David Burrell examines the issue of divine and human freedom in the works of Duns Scotus and Thomas Aquinas and shows why references to their philosophical underpinnings do not resolve differences between them. Finally, Dominican scholar J.A. DiNoia raises the classic question of whether non-Christians can attain salvation.
