New Testament Theology in a Secular World: A Constructivist Work in Philosophical Epistemology and Christian Apologetics

New Testament Theology in a Secular World is an important and original new work in Christian apologetics. It is the first book to apply constructivist theory to biblical studies. 

Biblical Studies scholar Peter Lampe tackles head on such questions as: What do we understand by reality? How does this relate to what theology calls the reality of God or the reality of resurrection? How can we account for the concept of revelation? Lampe argues that in talking about reality theologians must make an effort to engage with the concept of reality as it is discussed in the fields of philosophical epistemology and sociology of knowledge. However, as Lampe shows, Theology has so far hardly or only reluctantly participated in this dialogue.
