God and the Crisis of Freedom

Richard Bauckham is Professor Emeritus of New Testament Studies at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. He is Senior Scholar at Ridley Hall, University of Cambridge, and a Visiting Professor at St. Mellitus College in London.

"Drawing on his extraordinary intellectual range, Bauckham plumbs the Bible and the Christian tradition to mount a critique of modern notions of freedom and in the process offers us an account of freedom that requires a true authority. Anyone who works in contemporary theology and ethics should read this book." - Stanley Hauerwas, Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School
