Title: A Modern-Version of Vincentian's Canon
Review: As a kind of 21st century follow up to his earlier "After Modernity...What?", in this volume Oden continues to build his case that the hope for our Christian future rests on a thoughtful return to our Christian past. In this 3rd millennium A.D. Oden sees the church and world entering a watershed moment philosophically, politically and theologically. In order to help Christians sift through truth-claims, Oden proposes four "strata of referees": 1) The universal prevails over the particular (the whole is preferred to the part); 2) The older apostolic witness prevails over the newer alleged general consent; 3) Conciliar actions and decisions prevail over faith-claims as yet untested by conciliar acts; 4) Where no conciliar rule avails, the most reliable consensual ancient authorities prevail over those less consensual over the generations.
