| Description: |
Theological reflection-connecting life, ministry, and religious traditions -is a core component of ministerial training. Contemporary ministers serve in increasingly interfaith contexts and also with those without faith. This book addresses that reality of our society and reconsiders theological reflection in such an unexpectedly diverse context. |
| Synopsis: |
Theological reflection - connecting real life, ministry, and religious traditions - is a core component of most pastoral training. It is also a hallmark of practical theology and a common spiritual exercise among ordinary Christians trying to discern how their beliefs might influence daily living. Yet, our society is increasingly pluralistic, with growing numbers of people from varying belief systems - from Islam to Buddhism - as well as an increasing number of atheists. In this book, Edward Foley reimagines theological reflection in interfaith contexts and with those of no faith tradition. The book addresses and celebrates diverse beliefs, and envisions the practice of theological reflection in such contexts. Theological Reflection Across Religious Traditions introduces readers to the basics of traditional forms of theological reflection, then considers how it might be reconceived in different contexts - from interfaith ministers working together to reduce poverty and homelessness to people of diverse or no faith traditions strategizing to secure the dignity of undocumented immigrants.Beyond suggestions for collaborative social action, the book offers tools for productive interfaith conversation through a process Foley calls "reflective believing." This is a groundbreaking rethinking of theological reflection for today's world, proposing that people across the religious landscape can participate in reflective believing for personal and communal benefit without sacrificing their own integrity. |
