Page ix Preface As the twentieth century draws to a close, and with it my own professional career, I have felt strongly the need to recall the theological renewal that attended both the century's and my own beginnings. How should one view, from the perspective of what has happened since and what appears on the near horizon, that great renovation of Christian thought, faith, and life? For me, as for many of my contemporaries, this cannot be a merely academic exercise, another investigation of twentieth-century Christian theology. Whether we have found our life's work in theology, biblical studies, historical studies, or other fields of Christian scholarship, or in the parish ministry, or along quite different vocational lines, we have been profoundly shaped by the great themes and concerns of that movement. Our lives, not only our ideas and our work, are necessarily involved in any such retrospective. The impact of teachers like Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Tillich, Wilhelm Pauck, and so many others who were (I would say providentially!) assembled at Union Theological Seminary in the 1950s is not something that one forgets or outlives. I do not think that I have been unduly dependent on any of these teachers, or on the others who were part of that international community of Christian scholarship. It has certainly not been my intention to imitate all or any of them. But I know that I have been deeply influenced by their work, and that, collectively, they still define for me the criteria, not only of what "excellence" in theology would have to mean but more importantly the meaning of Christ's discipleship.

Page x The overall conclusion that I have reached in this act of recall is contained, in nuce, in the subtitle of the book: there is, I think, a rich legacy here that has not been adequately appropriated. And I believe that the future of Protestantism in North America depends upon whether and to what extent that heritage is laid hold of, both by Christian scholars and the churches, in the years and decades ahead. That thesis was first explored in the Currie Lectures, given at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in January 1995. Four of the seven chapters of this book (those on Barth, Tillich, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Bonhoeffer) were first presented as lectures in that context. I have altered them somewhat to conform to their presentation as chapters in this book, but I have wished to retain, at the same time, their character both as address and as personal testimony. The same spirit, to a lesser extent, informs the three subsequently written chapters as well as the Introduction and the Conclusions.
