He also provides dialogue with other formative figures, such as Pannenberg, Dulles, Berkouwer, Torrance, and Lindbeck.By focusing on Scripture, while also making reference to the core secondary literature, Fackre leads readers through the key concepts involved in the construction of a biblically centered doctrine of revelation. Currents in Theology & Mission "This book should be appreciated by all as an introduction to one of the foundations of theology. A parish pastor would be helped through its focus on "the Grand Narrative" in Scripture, for in preaching weekly on the pericopes, pastors sometimes do lose the big picture. Students in theology should find helpful the reclaiming of the grand tradition of theology in the twentieth century."

\ Anglican Theological Review"Fackre's book remains true to its series' stated purpose of returning to the themes of systematic theology, and engages a wide variety of previous theological work in its effort to pursue a narrative approach to similar questions. As the author himself states in his conclusion, his work is richly "suggestive, but not exhaustive.""\ \ \ \ \ Currents in Theology & Mission"This book should be appreciated by all as an introduction to one of the foundations of theology.
