The Transformative Imagination (eBook, ePUB)

Rethinking Intercultural Theology

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

George Newlands explores the nature, scope and limits of an intercultural Christian theology, setting out a working model for a new open theology that relates theology and culture. A focus on the Christian understanding of God lies at the heart of this book. Exploring the interface between theology and particular cultural activities, The Transformative Imagination engages with politics, literature, philosophy and other humanities, and the natural sciences. The relationship between theology and the social and geographical sub-cultures that characterize human life is explored through diverse examples, which make connections and initiate dialogue. Connecting Christian theology and human rights, religion is seen to link constructively with some of the most intractable problems in contemporary global conflicts of interest. Theology is re-situated as a team player, a catalyst to facilitate dialogue in contrast to triumphalist theologies of the past.
