Christianity is foremost a testimony of the great theo-drama: God’s communicative acts (finding their pinnacle in Christ) for the redemption of humankind. These acts comprise not only Christian scripture, but also a script upon which all later gospel performances must be faithful – in a wedding of textual and cultural analysis. Vanhoozer masterfully extends this metaphor of Christianity as theater in the four sections of his book: the drama, the script, the dramaturge, and the performance. This work calls the Christian community (theologian, pastor, laymen) to reexamine assumptions about the Bible and theology, while making a clarion call as to the importance of good judgment and practical wisdom in the Christian life. Vanhoozer offers a weighty yet engaging “postpropositionalist,” “postconservative,” and “postfoundationalist” approach to theology. A+
The Drama of Doctrine is perhaps the most rigorous defense and correction of narrative theology to date. Prijzen
Observing a strange disappearance of doctrine within the church, Kevin Vanhoozer argues that there is no more urgent task for Christians today than to engage in living truthfully with others before God. He details how doctrine serves the church--the theater of the gospel--by directing individuals and congregations to participate in the drama of what God is doing to renew all things in Jesus Christ. Taking his cue from George Lindbeck and others who locate the criteria of Christian identity in Spirit-led church practices, Vanhoozer relocates the norm for Christian doctrine in the canonical practices, which, he argues, both provoke and preserve the integrity of the church's witness as prophetic and apostolic.

This book needed an good editor. It was incredibly repetitive. It tried so hard to be "relevant" to the changing tides of 21st century philosophy, but failed, badly. The author was constantly building "straw men" on either side of an issue and then happily finding the "goldilocks" sweet spot in the middle, that only he was able to articulate as "the cononical/linguistic" answer.
I found this book to be very frustrating, (repetitive, repetitive and again, repetitive) and overall I would rate it a complete waste of my time. ( )
