Constructing Constructive Theology

Theology

“Jason Wyman has provided an invaluable resource to anyone interested in the past century of theological innovation. He traces the history of constructive theology throughout the twentieth century and ties together the many themes and concerns that inspire and empower the vibrant diversity of theologians who take seriously the human responsibility to interpret and build meaning from faith in the context of real life. This book not only describes a broad movement in Christian theology, it is also a work of constructive theology itself, introducing readers to the possibility of theological discourse that is not arid or removed from the challenges we face today. Wyman not only orients, he also evaluates. We have needed a book like this, and here it is!”

Queer Theology

Theology

“At last, a truly helpful introduction to a hotly contested notion: ‘queer theology.’ Tonstad clarifies in graceful prose the limitations, stakes, and pleasures of what could be queer in Christian theology. Timely and long overdue, this book will help students, queer theologians, and other theological adventurers recognize the far deeper challenges and possibilities that queer theologies beyond apology may offer to Christian understanding and justice-making efforts.”

Thinking about Things and Other Frivolities

History & Biography

“Thinking about things with Ed Farley leaves one always wiser and more thoughtful. Written with signature humility and subtle humor, this book is a true 'adventure in the concrete' in which Farley's own life is the warp through which he draws pressing questions about knowledge, religion, education, and democracy. The result is a tapestry of insight and a delightful record of one of the most profound thinkers of our time.”
