In an increasingly global world, context becomes more important
than ever. As our national and international narratives intertwine,
untangling them can become a difficult task, especially in the
field of theology. In this book, Hans Schwarz leads us into the web
of Christian theology's recent past from Kant to Schleiermacher to
Mbiti and Zizioulas, pointing out all the theologians of the last
two hundred years who have had a major impact beyond their own
context. With an eye to the blending of theology and biography,
Schwarz skillfully draws the lines of connection between
theologians, their history, and wider theological movements.
Schwarz's initial focus on European and American Protestant
theology broadens to include the rich worlds of Catholic and
Orthodox theology, also looking into liberation, feminist, African,
East Asian, and Indian theology. Extensive primary source
quotations from such varied and eminent theological figures as John
Henry Newman, Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, Jacques Maritain, Gustavo
Gutiirrez, Elisabeth Sch]ssler Fiorenza, Desmond Tutu, and more
enrich the experience by allowing them to speak in their own
voices. All who are interested in doing theology will find
Schwarz's "Theology in a Global Context" invaluable in charting
their relation to the past, thus enabling them to set a course for
the global theological future.
