The Palgrave Handbook of Radical Theolog y is the definitive guide to radical theology and the commencement for new directions in that field. For the first time, radical theology is addressed and assessed in a single, comprehensive volume, including introductory and historical essays for the beginner, essays on major figures and their thought, and shorter articles on various themes, concepts, and related topics. This book is a seminal work for the radical theology movement. It clarifies origins and demonstrates the exigency and utility of current figures and issues. A useful and essential guide for newcomers and veterans in the field, this volume serves as both a reference work and an introduction to omitted or forgotten topics within contemporary discussions.
Pastor of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Dallastown, PA.
As a pastor, I'm interested in contemporary models and understandings of being church in a post-Christendom world and engaging those marginalized by the church and by society with a radical understanding of Christianity and a life of service.
Read this one cover to cover. Lots and lots of very good essays on the key figures and topics in the Radical Theology world. This is a fantastic orientation to RT and a deep resource for knowing where to jump off into both individual thinkers and prompts for thinkings through many different areas radically and theologically. Ill be checking back into this one often. Thanks editors for a really well executed Handbook.
