From the rear cover

In The Future of Christian Theology, one of the world's leading theologians tackles the question of how we should think about Christian faith and practice today -- and especially tomorrow. With engaging clarity and great insight, the book explores the ways Christian theology in the twenty-first century can face the challenges of our complex religious and secular world in a way that is creative, empathetic, and wise.

Inspired by a passion for wisdom, noted Christian theologian David Ford seeks to answer some of the most thought-provoking questions in contemporary theological thinking and scholarship. After addressing the reasons why the past century has been one of the most fruitful in the history of Christian thought, Ford looks forward to explore some of the most important and generative ways to consider contemporary theological issues. Themes and topics covered include what makes for 'good theology, ' the relationship of Christian theology to church, academy, society, and other faiths; and what it takes to become a theologian in today's world. At the heart of Ford's vision for theology is the God of love and wisdom who stretches minds, hearts, and imaginations by inviting people deeper into the drama of contemporary life and thought. Above all, this theology faces the challenges of -- and our responses to -- the cries of suffering, joy, fear, wonder, despair, desire, and more that pervade our world.
