Loss of Faith

Hubertus Halbfas argues that

Hubertus Halbfas
A Religious Grammar
ISBN: 978-3-8436-0206-8 | Patmos | Hardback | 400 pages
A compendium that seeks to clear away misunderstandings about religion and faith
As a practical theologian, Hubertus Halbfas has spent his life translating old religious traditions
into the language of today. In this book, he lays forth the sum of his knowledge in
a systematically structured grammar. He focuses on narrative genres, biblical forms and
dogmatic traditions, and gives them a voice that can be understood today. His efforts
prove that no matter how far people have removed themselves from an ecclesiastical environment,
nor how alien the Christian faith may seem to them, the path of language is the
best way to connect religious traditions with current consciousness.

with the Christian faith and its
ability to be conveyed.
