Description
In a time when academic theology often neglects the lived practices of the Christian community, this volume seeks to bring balance to the situation by showing the dynamic link between the task of theology and the practices of the Christian life. The work of thirteen first-rate theologians from several cultural and Christian perspectives, these informed and informative essays explore the relationship between Christian theology and practice in the daily lives of believers, in the ministry of Christian communities, and as a needed focus within Christian education.Contributors: Dorothy C. Bass, Nancy Bedford, Gilbert Bond, Sarah Coakley, Craig Dykstra, Reinhard Hütter, L. Gregory Jones, Serene Jones, Amy Plantinga Pauw, Christine Pohl, Kathryn Tanner, Miroslav Volf, Tammy Williams
