For many people, the word 'theology' evokes something dry,
academic, irrelevant and disconnected from the everyday concerns of
life. We surely would not say that about God, so why is our talk
about God any different? In this engaging and accessible
introduction, Keith Johnson takes a fresh look at theology. He
presents the discipline of theology as one of the ways we
participate in the life of the triune God. Without suggesting it
should be removed from the academy, Johnson argues that theology
has to be integrally connected to the traditions and practices of
the church. If academic theology is to be genuinely theological,
then it has to be carried out in obedience to Jesus Christ and in
service to the church. Unlike other introductions, Theology as
Discipleship avoids the usual overview of doctrines according to
the creed, which traditionally move from the Trinity to
eschatology. Instead, Johnson explains the content of theology by
describing the Christian life - being in Christ, hearing God's
Word, sharing the mind of Christ. Theology not only leads to
discipleship, but is itself a way of following after Christ in
faith.
