A Theology in Outline: Can These Bones Live? began with an undergraduate course taught
by Robert W. Jenson at Princeton University in the spring of 2008. Based on a series
of twenty-three course lectures, it offers a concise and accessible overview of Christian
theology while retaining the atmosphere of Jenson's classroom. Much as does Jenson's
Systematic Theology, A Theology in Outline treats a standard sequence of doctrines
in Christian theology--God, Trinity, creation, humanity, sin, salvation, church, among
others. However, its organizing principle and leitmotiv are less traditional. Reflecting
his recent interest in theological interpretation of scripture, Jenson frames the
whole of Christian theology as a response to the question posed to the prophet Ezekiel:
"Son of man, can these bones live?" For Jenson, to ask this question is to ask whether
Christian theology itself is a pile of dead bones. Can the story that God lives with
his people be told today? From first to last the chapters of this book proceed under
the impelling pressure of this question. They thus comprise a single sequence of illustrative
conversations for the purpose of introducing beginners to Christian theology
