Reformed Humanism - Essays on Christian Doctrine, Philosophy, and Church

The volume comprises a collection of essays ordered in three parts, each of which describes broadly the sub-fields of theology to which these belong. The essays tackle core themes in Christian doctrine, the longstanding relationship of theology to philosophy, and a series of challenges facing churches today. While the volume represents a Reformed theological approach often with a historical focus, it self-consciously reflects an ecumenical and critical perspective. The term ''humanism'' reflects recent concerns that contemporary theology should steer a course between surrender to the emptiness of much secular culture and a resurgent religious tribalism. The term ''Reformed'' indicates that this work is located in a particular theological tradition without being imprisoned within it.A further feature of the collection is its attempt to overcome the curricular divisions between systematic theology, Christian ethics, and practical theology. The third section in particular deal with issues in social ethics, theological aesthetics, the place of the church in a secular culture, and the role of theology in the university.>

Summary

A collection of essays from a Reformed theological perspective exploring themes in Christian thought and practice in contemporary contexts.
