Theology That Matters
Book Description
In a world grappling with environmental crisis, economic inequality, and religious pluralism, many wonder whether ancient theological wisdom still holds relevance for contemporary challenges. This thoughtful collection demonstrates that Christian theology not only matters but offers essential insights for navigating our complex modern landscape.
Drawing together respected voices inspired by theologian Sallie McFague's pioneering work, this volume explores how core Christian concepts like God, Christ, revelation, and church speak directly to three urgent realities shaping our time. The contributors examine how faith communities can articulate their beliefs meaningfully within an increasingly secular and diverse society, where traditional religious language often feels disconnected from daily experience.
The book ventures into the intersection of spirituality and global economics, questioning how Christian principles might address the inequalities and injustices embedded in our interconnected world. Perhaps most crucially, it tackles the environmental crisis through a theological lens, exploring how religious understanding can inform our relationship with the natural world and our responsibility as stewards of creation.
Designed for students and seekers alike, this work bridges academic rigor with practical application. Rather than retreating into abstract doctrine, these theological reflections engage directly with the pressing questions of our era, offering readers a framework for understanding how faith traditions can contribute to healing our fractured world and fostering more just, sustainable ways of living.
