Theology and Conversation


Book Description

This collection of articles presents the main contributions to the third LEST (Louvain Encounters in Systematic Theology) conference, held at the K.U.Leuven's Faculty of Theology, November 2001. Its theme, Theology and Conversation: Towards a Relational Theology, continues the explorations in contemporary theology as set out in the 1997 LEST I conference on The Myriad Christ (BETL 152) and in the 1999 LEST II conference on Sacramental Presence in Postmodern Context (BETL 160). In LEST III also, the plurality and diversity of theological approaches play a major role and the question is raised whether the contemporary theological endeavour in a global world contains in itself the tools to respectfully and constructively approach this diversity. The ideas of relation and conversation, as found in the theologies of the Trinity and of creation, as presupposed in ecclesial praxis, and as articulated in reflections that take their bearings from spiritual experience, provide a powerful means for renewed theological reflection capable of confronting plurality and diversity.

Theology in Dialogue


Book Description

This book is the last work Dr. Gerstner prepared for publication before his death in 1996. It is a mini-systematic theology in question and answer format. Dr. Gerstner gives 25 chapters of theology where an unregenerate inquirer is dialoging with a regenerate Christian. These are tough questions about all aspects of Christian doctrine including the nature and existence of God, heaven, hell, apologetics, justification, Romanism, sanctification, angels, and miracles. Very readable and engaging; contains a foreword by R.C. Sproul.




Theology and Dialogue


Book Description

The contributors to this volume propose constructive directions for Christian theology on the eve of the 21st century. Focusing on the imperative for dialogue that is deeply felt in contemporary theology, these original essays chart new ground in the constructive dialogue of theology with the whole Christian community, with its environing cultures, and with other religious traditions. The book's topical focus is suggested by the work of George A.Lindbeck, to whom it is dedicated. Lindbeck has contributed substantially to Christian theological dialogue in all three areas, and the essays engage in different ways the themes and issues raised by his proposals.
