Features: This book does not claim to comprehensively explore the complex relationship between theology and metaphysical speculation, but it does hope to clarify it. Modern and contemporary anti-metaphysical theologians, represented by Leitch, strive to seek a Christian thought independent of all metaphysical schemes. In contrast, this book firmly asserts that any satisfactory and sound Christian theology cannot be separated from certain comprehensive metaphysical schemes, for without them, such Christian theology cannot be constructed. It is precisely these schemes that, in some way, connect the human experience and knowledge of the world, in the broadest sense, into a rational unity.
