Postliberal theology and the church Catholic

---

Wright's conclusion draws from the substance of the interviews to offer some stimulating because traditional tools for both re-describing the methodological underpinnings of deep ecumenical cooperation - extending catholicity not only in space `globally' but also in time, as the communion of saints - and for valuing the central role of language in ecclesial reunion. Extending Lindbeck and Burrell by proposing the Thomist dialectical genre of quaestiones as a flexible mode of Wittgensteinian "linguistic therapy," Wright holds up the Joint Declaration on Justification as a masterpiece of ecumenical engagement, even while echoing the content of that Declaration by insisting on the provisional nature of all human endeavor, especially theology. As Wright puts it in his introduction, naming the perennial task of all Christian traditions, "in the return, we learn to go forward." This book is a splendid and timely example of that very process.
