What is Constructive Theology? - Histories, Methodologies, and Perspectives

This volume is an essential introduction to contemporary constructive theology. It gives a historical overview of the field and discusses key hermeneutical and methodological concerns. The contributors apply a constructive perspective to a wide range of approaches, such as biblical hermeneutics, comparative theology, black theology, and political theology - charting the most important disciplinary trends of the moment. ? shows how diverse and interdisciplinary constructive theology can be by exploring key themes in contemporary theology. The contributors explore the porous boundaries between Christianity and other religions, reflect on contextual, liberation and constructive theologies from Africa and from Black British perspectives, explore the connection between embodiment, epistemology and hermeneutics; and take a constructive approach to the dangerous memories and theologies of colonial histories in Belgium and Native Americans in the United States. This sampler of the field will help you rethink theologies and find constructive alternatives.
