Exploring how the Bible may be appropriately used in practical and
public theology, this book looks at types of modern practical
theology with specific emphasis on the use of the Bible. Bennett
juxtaposes the diversity of modern practical theology with the work
of leading nineteenth-century public 'theologian', John Ruskin, and
then assesses the contribution of this analysis to some modern
issues of public importance in which the Bible is used. The final
chapter offers a framework for a biblically informed critical
practical theology which draws on the writer's experience and
invites the readers to engage their own.
Practical Theology has emerged as an important discipline in recent
decades, making a major contribution both in the academy and
amongst reflective practitioners on the ground. The Journal
Practical Theology celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2018 and
this book presents ten journal articles chosen from over 180 that
were published in that period. Reflecting on the progress the
discipline has made and indicating some future directions in the
field, the book is a 'showcase' of examples of good practical
theology utilising a wide range of methodologies and written by an
interesting cross-section of authors from a variety of backgrounds.
This is a book which answers the question 'what is practical
theology?' with real live examples that are accessible, readable
and engaging.
On the margins of the biblical canon and on the boundaries of what
are traditionally called 'mainstream' Christian communities there
have been throughout history writings and movements which have been
at odds with the received wisdom and the consensus of establishment
opinion. If one listens carefully, these dissident voices are
reflected in the Bible itself-whether in the radical calls for
social change from the Hebrew Bible prophets, with Jesus the
apocalyptic prophet who also demanded social and economic justice
for his oppressed people, or perhaps from the apocalyptic
tradition's millenarian visions. The use of the Bible has been
fertile ground throughout Christian history for prophetic calls for
radical change within society as a whole and the church in
particular. The essays contained in this volume examine aspects of
this radical tradition, its doctrine, hermeneutics, pedagogy, and
social action. They offer a sustained development of the theme of
the Bible and its reception and appropriation in the context of
radical practices, and an exposition of the imaginative
possibilities of radical engagement with the Bible in inclusive
social contexts. Part 1 treats New Testament texts directly-the
Lukan writings, Paul and the Book of Revelation; Part 2 explores
some examples of reception history and of radical appropriation of
the Bible in history and literature; Part 3 addresses contemporary
issues in liberation theology and public theology. This book is a
Festschrift in honour of Professor Christopher Rowland, the Dean
Ireland's Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture in the
University of Oxford.

Practical theology as a subject area has grown and become more
sophisticated in its methods and self-understanding over the last
few decades. This book provides a complete and original research
primer in the major theories, approaches and methods at the
cutting-edge of research in contemporary practical theology. It
represents a reflection on the very practice of the discipline
itself, its foundational questions and epistemological claims. Each
chapter examines different aspects of the research process:
starting with experience and practice, aspects of research design
and epistemology, communities of learning, the influence of
theological norms and tradition on the practice of research, and
ethical considerations about what constitutes 'the good' in
advanced research. The uniqueness of this book rests in its
authoritative overview of current practical theological research
across a range of traditions and approaches, combined with a
comprehensive introduction to research methodology. It offers
worked examples from the authors, their colleagues and research
students that serve to illustrate key ideas and approaches in
practical theological research. The four authors are all
internationally-leading scholars and rank amongst the most
influential figures in practical theology of their generation. The
book promises to be of interest to students, teachers and
researchers in practical theology, especially those looking to
conduct original practice-based enquiry in the field.

Your MA in Theology addresses a range of study skills, from the
basic tools of reading, writing and reflection to the complex
issues of handling tradition and experience and coping as an
international student. Using the library, avoiding plagiarism, and
how to get help with specific learning needs are among many
practical issues covered. There is a chapter devoted to doing a
master's dissertation. The style is accessible throughout, and the
needs of students are central. Twenty years of experience in
directing postgraduate degrees inform the material offered, which
is down to earth and anchored in experience. The book will be
useful to teachers of master's degrees in theology as well as to
their students.

The Bible forms a key part in the development of critical
theological thinking and reflection on experience. Equally, to
understand how we as individuals read the bible, we need to be
critically aware of our own stories and context. Text and life,
tradition and experience, are inextricably intertwined. "In a Glass
Darkly" offers for the first time a critical dialogue between
practical theology and biblical hermeneutics. It considers the role
of emotional engagement and critical understanding in biblical
interpretation from here and presents being critical as an act
which is just as much appreciative as it is suspicious.
