First Things' Year in Books 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. Johnson instead 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.
