Owen C. Thomas (1922 -2015) was Emeritus Professor of Theology of the Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the author of eight previous books in theology and the philosophy of religion. A former physicist, he has been a visiting professor at the Gregorian University and the North American College in Rome, an adjunct professor at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California, and past president of the American Theological Society.
"Owen Thomas is a prophet, in the biblical sense of the word,
calling a community to examine its way of life and look to the rock
from which it was quarried. His book is progressive, at times
radical, precisely because it is rooted in the best of a tradition
he knows as well as anyone. The scope of these essays is
remarkable-from philosophical theology to parish
administration-with a solid center in the life of the Spirit, lived
amid the perplexities of history." -Charles Hefling, Professor of
Systematic Theology, Boston College "What Owen Thomas has to say
about Christian life and practice will delight many, confound
others, and challenge all of us to think more critically about
things that matter. This is a distinctively Anglican voice crying
out on behalf of embodied spirituality, political engagement, and
prophetic ministry." -Arthur Holder, John Dillenberger Professor of
Christian Spirituality, Graduate Theological Union
"In this legacy of his years as theological reflector on Christian
life, Owen Thomas, in his own creative way, articulates the
persistent insistence of the Bible and Anglican tradition that
faith and practice, truth and action have been so joined together
by God that they must never be put asunder. Well worth reading and
pondering." -Harvey H. Guthrie, Former Dean and Professor of Old
Testament, Episcopal Divinity School
