A Guide To Doing Theology (International Study Guides)
Ebooks Online

What is the relevance of the gospel in the modern world? How is it true in today's world? How should we think about it? How should we discuss it? Whenever we ask these questions, and countless others like them, we are "doing theology."Writing for anyone who has asked these questions, John Parratt has created a clear and simple introduction to doing theology—and why it is important.Starting with the text of the Bible and using his extensive global experience to present compelling examples from all over the world, Parratt's introductory text considers the impact of language, history, and culture, as well as of science, philosophy, and other religions, on Christians.The International Study Guides (ISGs) are clear and accessible resources, contextual and ecumenical in content and missional in direction. The contributors are theological educators who come from different countries and different religious backgrounds and bring practical emphasis alongside contemporary scholarly reflection.
