Synopsis: Every human being is a theologian. We have a curiosity
about the ultimate context in which we exist. Theologians help us
spell that out, and examine what faith is all about. The
wide-ranging issues and questions this book addresses begin with
the differences between Christianity and other religions, examine
the relation between the Bible, science, and evolution, explore the
role of religious experience in the birth of faith, and consider
the contribution theologians like Paul Tillich, Friedrich Gogarten,
Teilhard de Chardin, Jurgen Moltmann, and John Wesley can make to
our thought today. Endorsements: "Be it in discussing Paul
Tillich's philosophical theology, or Teilhard de Chardin's theology
of evolution, or the theology of hope or the theology of
liberation, it was always worthwhile listening to the spirit of
John Wesley coming to us powerfully through Ted Runyon's
contributions. This . . . is a collection of ideas for present and
future theology, and it is so well written that anyone with
interest can understand it. Whoever thinks deeply can write
clearly. Professor Runyon is one of them." -Jurgen Moltmann
Professor Emeritus of Theology University of Tubingen "This
treasure chest of theological gems is a great gift to all students
of Christian divinity. The wide range of dialogue partners is
impressive; the challenge that any theology is to promote the
transformation of human lives is a healthy provocation. Runyon's
concept of orthopathy rightly finds a strong resonance. His
reflection on the diverse character of feelings and (religious)
experience is indispensable for a critical analysis of Pietism,
Methodism, and modern subjectivism." --Manfred Marquardt Professor
Emeritus of Theology United Methodist Theological Seminary
Reutlingen, Germany "Exploring the Range of Theology is a most
valuable compilation of articles by distinguished theologian
Theodore Runyon . . . This volume demonstrates how the author has
been bringing this Wesleyan perspective fruitfully to bear on a
wide range of significant themes-biblical, theological,
experiential, and ecological. Characteristically, the writing is
both scholarly and eminently readable, and will be welcomed alike
by colleagues, former students, and the general reader." --Norman
Young Professor Emeritus United Faculty of Theology Melbourne,
Australia "In this remarkable collection of essays Theodore Runyon
. . . shows us the tensions between mystical and revelational
theologies as well as European secular theologies and liberation
theologies . . . In all of these essays we see what we have come to
expect from Runyon: theology on the cutting edge but responsible to
the church, and an irenic and fair presence always seeking to
create the community of trust in which theology can thrive." --M.
