Hopper explains "to non-specialist but serious readers how and why the profound differences between modern theology and pre-modern theology developed." He examines the major cultural revolutions that have occurred since the formulation of the various traditional theologies-revolutions which have challenged the assumptions on which the theologies were built. Investigating the beginnings of modern science, the beginnings of modern philosophy, recent scientific revolutions, the emergence of depth psychology, and the development of historical-critical biblical scholarship, Hopper illumines "the possible implications of their collective impact for the Christian faith.'

Jeffery Hopper is Professor of Theology at the Methodist Theological School in Delaware, Ohio.
