Theological Literacy in the Twenty-First Century

“This volume probes questions that have challenged the church from its origins. How can we teach the Christian faith in ways that honor text and context, that are true and timely, and that produce preachers who (to paraphrase Augustine) are prayers before they are speakers? The essayists use their wide and diverse range of experiences in theological education and ecclesial life to stimulate creative approaches to twenty-first-century challenges. Many of the writers are also well versed in ecumenical theory and practice, providing an added richness to their perspectives.”
