In today's society characterized by pluralism and transition, theologyis increasingly being done in conversation with other disciplines a process that is challenging narrow conceptions of God'swork in the world. John W. de Gruchy has been at the forefront ofefforts to revision theology as an interdisciplinary task, and thisvolume not only honors de Gruchy's work but uses it as a wellspringfor theology in the twenty-first century.

Theseengaging chapters reveal the contributions that other facets of lifecan make to Christian thought while also upholding the vitalreligious grounding that theology brings to conversations aboutculture, politics, ethics, history, sociology, and other topics.
