A Trinitarian Epistemology: Stanley J. Grenz and the Trajectory of Convertive Piety

Abstract

Grenz understood himself to be Baptist before he was evangelical. Thus
'convertive piety' is not only a key motif, but a critical key to Grenz's
theological project. It is shown to be characteristic both of Baptist thought
(specifically in the German Baptist tradition from which Grenz draws) and
broader evangelicalism. His roots, in potent combination with the
challenges of postmodernism and Pannenberg’s theological method,
critically inform Grenz’s project to revision evangelical epistemology.
