Shaping Theology: Engagements in a Religious and Secular World

David F. Ford

Description

This is an innovative book about the shape theology takes in its varied interactions – religious and secular, local and global, historical and contemporary, academic and practical.

An innovative book about the shape of theology in reaction to its relationship with the Church, with theologians, with other religions, and with the university
Written by David Ford, recognized internationally as one of the most creative of contemporary theologians
Considers how theology shapes other areas of life via its conversations in the public sphere and with non-faith communities
Views theology as both a way of thinking and a way of living, and considers how this lived character cannot be entirely grasped through reason alone
The first volume to bring together a complete and well-rounded account of theology’s interaction with all its conversation partners.
