Baptist theologians Amy L. Chilton and Steven R. Harmon maintain
that the congregational freedom cherished by Baptists makes it
possible for their local churches to engage in a practice of
theology informed by a full range of voices speaking from the whole
church beyond the local church, past and present. In their coedited
book Sources Of Light, a diverse group of twenty-three Baptist
theologians engage in a collaborative attempt to imagine how
Baptist communities might draw on the resources of the whole church
more intentionally in their congregational practice of theology.
These resources include theologies that attend to the social
locations of followers of Jesus Christ - not only in terms of
ethnic and gender identity, sexual orientation, citizenship status,
and physical ability, but also in relation to the wider
interreligious and ecological contexts of the contemporary church.
They also include the church's efforts to bring its life together
under the rule of Christ in its practices of confessing and
teaching the faith, navigating moral disagreement, identifying
saintly examples for living the Christian life, ordering its life
as a worshiping community, and seeking more visible forms of
Christian unity across the divisions of the church. This book
commends listening deeply to these voices as an ecclesial practice
through which the Spirit of God enlightens the church of Christ,
whose rule draws the church into deeper participation in the life
of the Triune God, forming the church for practices that offer the
gift of Trinitarian communion to a fractured world. Contributors
