Description / Abstract
John Webster (1955-2016), Anglican theologian, begins with God’s perfection as the organizing principal of theology. Webster portrays theology as a work to be undertaken in the fear of God because it is God who reveals and sanctifies knowledge of God, which God does in the process of sanctifying the knowers. This thesis investigates what it means to approach the task of theology in a posture which begins with the fear of God, not by deducing a methodology but by articulating the manner of the theological task. Chapter one looks at the nature of God, the nature of creatures and the relations of creator and creatures, in order to form an understanding of the fear of God as the root of our fellowship with God. Chapter two considers how God relates to creatures by sharing knowledge of Godself with them. In addressing creatures through the Word, God thereby summons them to address themselves to God’s address. Chapter three looks at how God sanctifies creatures in their knowing, as well as the appropriate posture for the task of theology. The fear of God serves creatures by providing the relational conditions for fellowship with God.
