Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press. xi + 298 pages. First edition. ISBN 0-664-25769-0.\n\nPaul Lakeland \nFairfield University\n\n \n\nSince at least the time of the publication of George Lindbeck's _The Nature of Doctrine_ (1984), foundationalism in theology has been on the defensive, if not definitively routed. Lindbeck's cultural theory of religion, dubbed \"postliberalism,\" was equally critical of traditional \"propositionalism\" and what he called \"experiential-expressivism, roughly the post-Schleiermacherian romantic trend in theology. The target of Lindbeck's by-now classic critique was any attempt to set a standard or hermeneutical frame of reference by which the truth of doctrine was to be measured, thus any \"foundation\" external to the Christian narrative.\n\n \n\n> Paul F. Lakeland is Professor of Religious Studies at Fairfield University in Connecticut. He teaches courses on the intersection of religion and culture, and on Catholic theology. He is the author of _Theology and Critical Theory_ (1990) and, most recently, of _Postmodernity: Christian Identity in a Fragmented Age_. He is currently an editor of _Religious Studies Review_ and chairs the _Theology and Religious Reflection_ section of the American Academy of Religion.\n\n \n\n> \n\n \n\n ' 2001 Paul Lakeland.
