Description: In this book, which continues a renowned series of
essays published in the Christian Century, thirteen prominent
Christian theologians speak--in unusually personal voices--of their
journeys of faith and of the questions that have shaped their
writing and scholarship. Reflecting a variety of theological
positions and approaches, these essays feature decisive encounters
with prayer, scriptural tradition, struggles for justice, and
religious and cultural diversity. Some of these ""changes of mind""
include a change in denominational allegiance, others reflect a
shift in method or emphasis prompted by experiences inside or
outside the church. Some of the essays display a long-term
theological project that unfolds or deepens in changing
circumstances. All display the renewed vitality of theology in the
postmodern context. Contributors include Paul Griffiths, Sarah
Coakley, Mark Noll, Nicholas Wolterstorff, Carol Zaleski, Kathryn
Tanner, Scott Cairns, Robert Jenson, Emilie Townes, Peter Ochs,
David Ford, Douglas John Hall, and Max Stackhouse. Endorsements:
""The Christian Century's How My Mind Has Changed series has always
offered an invaluable picture of how theologians negotiated the
crisis of belief in their time. This illuminating volume, the most
theologically diverse in the series, is a compelling and worthy
successor to the five that preceded it."" --Gary Dorrien, Union
Theological Seminary ""The Christian Century's wonderful and
illuminating series, How My Mind Has Changed, has yielded
tremendous insights from theologians over the years. Too often we
only get snapshots of a theologian's reflections; here we glimpse
the development of their thought. This collection gathers together
many of the contemporary world's most insightful and engaging
thinkers, and the result is a delightful, intellectual feast.""
--L. Gregory Jones, Duke Divinity School ""These are luminous
essays. Their authors do not merely represent topics or positions
on the theological spectrum. They are honest and sometimes
conflicted human beings, willing to drop the mask of world-class
expertise and reveal the hope, agony, and changing contours of
their faith. The honesty of these autobiographical accounts will
create a sense of kinship between writers and readers. They will
light the reader's path through his or her own struggles with
continuity and change."" --Richard Lischer, Duke Divinity School
