Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume focuses on a central question: What does a person need to know for developing a theology? In other words, this book will not only answer objections lodged against the study of theology but will explain to students, pastors, and laypersons alike what a theologian actually does. It will also present different approaches to the study of theology and review the present status of theological reflection in various Protestant, Orthodox, and Roman Catholic traditions." "In the first section of the book evangelical Protestant scholars describe the contributions various disciplines make to the study of theology. In the next section, evangelical Protestant scholars explain the distinctives of their particular tradition's approach in doing theology. In the third part, theologians who do not identify with evangelical Protestant convictions seek to explain the distinctives of their approaches to doing theology. In the final section, Dr. Kantzer provides a summary analysis of how he does theology and interacts critically with a number of the essays in this volume." "Among the contributors are Gordon D. Kaufman, Schubert Ogden, J.I. Packer, John Meyendorf, Richard A. Muller, Orlando Costas, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Gerald Sheppard, Harold O.J. Brown, John Yodel, and D.A. Carson."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an essential handbook for all those who would "do theology today, written by one of America's most distinguished theologians. The book is divided into four parts: -- "Theology of Theology, which extends, deepens, and renders more persuasive the author's lines of thought on theological prolegomena -- "Theology and Christology, which argues that to do theology today one must be concerned above all with the fundamental questions of God and Jesus -- "Theology of Religions, which implies that to do theology today is to do it in a truly global context, in the presence of the plurality of ways of being human, including those represented by non-Christian religions -- "Theology in Conversation, which claims that to do theology today is to enter into close and sustained conversation with others who either are or have been engaged in the same task of critical reflection

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responses to the recent pandemic have been driven by fear, with social distancing and locking down of communities and borders as the most effective tactics. Out of fear and strategies that separate and isolate, emerges what has been described as the “new normal” (which seems to mutate daily). Truly global in scope, with contributors from across the world, this collection revisits four old responses to crises – assure, protest, trick, amend – to explore if/how those might still be relevant and effective and/or how they might be mutated during and after a global pandemic. Together they paint a grounded, earthy, context-focused picture of what it means to do theology in the new normal.

Book excerpt: Doing Theology is not just another introduction to the subject but an enlightened exploration of how theology is done. Author Jared Wicks, SJ, shows how sound theology draws on Christian sources of theological wisdom, beginning with attentive listening to the witness given in the canonical and inspired books of the Bible. After demonstrating how major Christian thinkers pursued theological understanding, he then reviews the directions given by Vatican II for working out a beneficial and well-grounded Christian theology. Fr. Wicks offers guidelines for theological work in the Church's tradition as manifested in creeds, the fathers, liturgy, and holy lives. He also traces the emergence of the Church's teaching office, showing its particular charism for contributing to Christian thought and life when its teachings are properly weighed and interpreted. A set of appendices immerses the reader in the documents of Vatican II and follows the astounding service provided by the Council's experts. Seminary and college courses in theology and theological method will benefit immensely from Doing Theology. In addition, the book will help any teacher of Catholic theology to refresh his or her hold on a sound theological method of listening to the sources and explaining the coherence of God's saving work and word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relevance of the gospel in the modern world? Whenever we ask this question, we are “doing theology.” Taking its cue from the Bible, this introductory text considers the impact of language, history and culture, as well as of science, philosophy and other religions, on Christians. The International Study Guides (ISGs) are clear and accessible resources, contextual and ecumenical in content and missional in direction. The contributors are theological educators who come from different countries and different religious backgrounds and bring practical emphasis alongside contemporary scholarly reflection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces Reformed theology by surveying the doctrinal concerns that have shaped its historical development. The book sketches the diversity of the Reformed tradition through the past five centuries even as it highlights the continuity with regard to certain theological emphases. In so doing, it accentuates that Reformed theology is marked by both formal ('the always reforming church') and material ('the Reformed church') interests. Furthermore, it attends to both revisionary and conservative trends within the Reformed tradition. The book covers eight major theological themes: Word of God, covenant, God and Christ, sin and grace, faith, worship, confessions and authority, and culture and eschatology. It engages a variety of Reformed confessional writings, as well as a number of individual theologians (including Zwingli, Calvin, Bullinger, Bucer, Beza, Owen, Turretin, Edwards, Schleiermacher, Hodge, Shedd, Heppe, Bavinck, Barth, and Niebuhr).
