For the past fifty years, scholars in both pastoral and practical
theology have attempted to recapture human religious experience and
practice as essential sites for theological engagement --
redefining in the process what theology is, how it is done, and who
does it. In this book Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore shows how this
trend in scholarship has led to an expanded subject matter,
alternative ways of knowing, and richer terms for analysis in doing
Christian theology.
Tracing more than two decades of her own search for a more
inclusive discipline -- one that truly grapples with theology in
the midst of life -- Christian Theology in Practice shows not only
where Miller-McLemore herself has traveled in the field but also
how pastoral and practical theology has developed during this time.
Looking forward, Miller-McLemore calls on the academy and Christian
congregations to disrupt conventional theological boundaries and to
acknowledge the multiplicity of shapes and places in which the
"wisdom of God" appears..
