This book introduces a new "multilateral" methodology for the
contemporary study of theology. It bases this methodology on the
idea that there are too many materials contributing as sources for
theologizing to sustain the "one method fits all" approach found in
many systematic theologies within Christianity. What is needed
instead is something that reflects the various and varied natures,
purposes, and tasks of theologians' theologizing for their
respective contexts. Engaging materials from a range of Christian
traditions, including Evangelicalism, the Catholic Magisterium, and
a limited range of pan-Orthodox resources, the book analyzes and
assesses major factors that have shaped different streams of
theology. Addressing doctrinal development, scripture and
revelation, historical tradition and creeds, philosophy and truth,
sciences and interdisciplinarity, experience, religious pluralism,
and culture, it demonstrates how these various streams can form a
multilateral whole. The book concludes by examining the centers and
peripherals of methodologies in theologization for a spectrum of
theological traditions/streams, both across and beyond
Christianity. By offering an approach that keeps in step with the
increasingly interconnected and pluralistic world in which we live,
this book provides a vital resource for any scholar of Christian
theology, constructive theology, contextual theologies, and
systematic theology, as well as religious studies.
