Riassunto

This is an innovative book about the shape theology takes in its varied interactions – religious and secular, local and global, historical and contemporary, academic and practical.

• An innovative book about the shape of theology in reaction to its relationship with the Church, with theologians, with other religions, and with the university
  
• Written by David Ford, recognized internationally as one of the most creative of contemporary theologians
  
• Considers how theology shapes other areas of life via its conversations in the public sphere and with non-faith communities
  
• Views theology as both a way of thinking and a way of living, and considers how this lived character cannot be entirely grasped through reason alone
  
• The first volume to bring together a complete and well-rounded account of theology’s interaction with all its conversation partners.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

This is an innovative book about the shape theology takes in its varied interactions – religious and secular, local and global, historical and contemporary, academic and practical.

For many years David Ford’s theological thought has evolved in conversation with many different partners in the public sphere, non-faith communities, the church, Judaism, Islam, and the university. This theology is a way of thinking in search of wisdom, engaging with practices and the life of the imagination as well as with ideas, arguments, discernments, and decisions. Nourished by scripture together with premodern, modern, and contemporary sources, it seeks to shape a wise faith. This approach to theology has become increasingly influential and Ford is recognized as one of the most important, creative, subtle and accessible theologians working today. In his many works he has developed the relationship between theology and each of these other spheres, but this is the first book to bring together a multifaceted, well-rounded account of theology’s involvement with these conversation partners.
