"Books make history-much more so than the wars we always hear about in the history books. . . . Books are closely linked to most Christian renewal movements. Almost always renewal movements were initiated through books and/or they made intensive use of books as the medium of their dissemination and success." Klaus Bockmuehl (1931-1989) was Professor of Systematic Theology and Ethics at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia from 1977 to 1989. He completed a DTheol at the University of Basel, where he studied with Karl Barth and Jürgen Moltmann. He is the author of Listening to the God Who Speaks, The Christian Way of Living, and The Story of Modern Protestant Theology.
