Iain Torrance, ‘Friendship as a Mode of Theological Engagement: David Ford’s Exploration of Christian Wisdom’, Modern Theology 25:1 (2009), 123-31.
Having blogged on David Ford already (here and here), I thought I’d add a reference to this essay, which partly functions as an extended review of Ford’s Christian Wisdom: Desiring God and Learning in Love, Cambridge Studies in Christian Doctrine (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007).
Torrance points out the lack of polemic in the book, its eagerness for exchange, its hospitality, its careful acknowledgment of conversations, friendships, and indebtedness to others. As the title of the essay indicates, Torrance sees such friendship as a ‘mode of theological engagement’.
