Theological Method: A Guide for the Perplexed is a book that
introduces the reader to the practice of doing theology. It
provides a historical survey of key figures and concepts that bear
on an understanding of difficult methodological issues in Christian
theology. Beginning with a description of philosophical themes that
affect the way theology is done today, it summarizes the various
theological methods deployed by theologians and churches over two
millennia of Christian thought. The book uncovers patterns in the
theological task of relating biblical texts with beliefs and
doctrines, according to historically conditioned theological and
cultural priorities. The book's highlights include a discussion of
Augustine's epoch-making De doctrina Christiana. Also receiving
close attention is the relationship between philosophy and theology
during the Middle Ages, the meaning of sola scriptura for the
Protestant Reformers, the methods of key interpreters of doctrine
in the nineteenth century and the theological priorities of the
'Radical Orthodoxy' movement.
