Interpreting God and the Postmodern Self: On Meaning, Manipulation, and Promise
Totally agree with the only other review here.
Though this is a dense book, with Thiselton engaging with a myriad of voices with such ease, there is something of lack of overall structure or thesis. The only other Theologian I know who writes like this is Vanhoozer, who can also leave you bamboozled if unfamiliar with the works referred to. This is particularly true of the section written against the 'sea of faith'.
Still a good read overall.
