Theological thinkers are placed into contexts which inform their
theological tasks but that context is usually limited to a European
or North American centre, usually ignoring minorities and lesser
mainstream theologies even in that context. This work focuses on
the shift of Christian theological thinking from the North Atlantic
to the Global South, even within the North Atlantic Church and
Academy. It gives a Global perspective on theological work, method
and context. Theologians from North America, Great Britain and
Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America comment on how
their specific context and methodology manifests, organizes and is
prioritized in their thought so as to make Christian theology
relevant to their community. By placing the Global South alongside
the newly emerging presence of non-traditional Western forms such
as Pentecostal, Aboriginal, and Hispanic theologies and theologians
a clearer picture of how Christian theology is both enculturated
and still familial is offered..
Rarely do theological thinkers have the opportunity to present
their own self-understanding of both their context and their
methodology and the inter-relation of the two. This book gives
leading theological minds from North America, Great Britain and
Europe an opportunity to explore the shaping of their theological
minds in regard to context and methodology. Asking 'why theology',
each contributor explores their sense of call to the Christian
faith, the purpose of their theological journey, and reflects on
his or her context and theology. Cutting across denominational,
gender, disciplinary, international and generational boundaries to
explore shifts in theology and methodology, this book provides a
diagnostic tool for examining where theology has come from and a
compass to where theology is headed. Contributors include: James H
Cone, Edward Farley, Colin E Gunton, Alister E McGrath, Wayne A
Meeks, John Milbank, JA1/4rgen Moltmann, Gerald O'Collins, Rosemary
Radford Ruether, Kathryn Tanner, Keith Ward and John Webster.
