Theology in Dialogue The Impact of the Arts, Humanities, and Science on Contemporary Religious Thought

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.Written by an international team of scholars, the book exploresthe relationship between Christian theology and a wide range ofdisciplines drawn from the arts, humanities, and sciences. 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.Contributors: Victoria BarnettJeremy BegbieCilliers BreytenbachJames R.
