New book: Constructive Theology |
| Fortress Press releases text
for a new generation of theologians
Press release from Augsburg/Fortress Press
[2-11-05]
MINNEAPOLIS (February 9, 2004)-
Innovative in both approach and style, Constructive Theology: A
Contemporary Approach to Classical Themes presents an exciting and
engaging way for today's students to encounter theology.
Coordinated by Serene Jones of Yale
Divinity School and Paul Lakeland of Fairfield University, nearly fifty of
North America's top teaching theologians (members of the Workgroup on
Constructive Christian Theology) have devised a text that allows students to
experience the deeper point of theological questions, to delve into the
fractures and disagreements that figured in the development of traditional
Christian doctrines, and to sample the diverse and conflicting theological
voices that vie for allegiance today.
The accompanying CD-ROM not only contains
the fully searchable text but also includes chapter summaries, discussion
questions, a glossary, weblinks, and a guide to writing research papers in
theology.

"Constructive Theology celebrates a rich, kaleidoscopic variety of
theological structures, genres, arguments, and insights. The authors are
committed to retrieving the deep insights of the classical tradition by
bringing contemporary problems and experiences to bear on the work of
theological construction. . . . A fresh engagement with Christian faith."
