Introducing Theological Method | Book Review

Explore the crucial role of theological method in shaping theological conclusions. This briefing document, based on Mary M. Veeneman's "Introducing Theological Method," surveys contemporary theologians and their approaches.

Unpack diverse theological movements, from Ressourcement and Neo-orthodox figures like Karl Barth and Avery Dulles, to theologies of correlation (Tillich, Rahner, Lonergan), and postliberal thought (Lindbeck, Frei). The episode also covers the varied landscape of Evangelical theologies (Erickson, Grenz, Vanhoozer, Pinnock), as well as political theologies (Metz, Gutierrez, Cone) and feminist theological perspectives (Stanton, Johnson, Williams). Finally, consider the evolving discussions around religious pluralism and comparative theology.
