An Introduction to Theology in Global Perspective

THEOLOGY IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

by Stephen B. Bevans

Offers a comprehensive guide to doing theology as part of the Catholic ecclesial community in today's globalized world.An Introduction to Theology in Global Perspective emphasizes that theology is an activity, a process that is anchored in Scripture but interpreted by ecclesial tradition and the magisterium. This theology is rooted in the experience that divine is found in a sacramental world and community. This book also describes a systematic theology as refelction upon the church's central teachings on creation, sin, redemption, the Trinity, anthropology, ecclesiology, salvation, and eternal life.

[Sarah Harvey · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I don’t agree with the entirety of the premise of this book—namely, I think he over emphasizes the contextual nature of theology—there are a lot of things that this book does very well. Small things, like the accurate description of the origins of Pentecostalism, or the inclusion of major groups of Christians like Asian and Syriac groups, make this book better than other introductory theology books.
