Overview
Overview
What theologies are popular and formative of Christian thinking in the present day? How should they be assessed by those Christians who want to be ""in the world"" without being ""of the world""? Theologies of the 21st Century begins with an overview of the historical roots from which current theological thinking has developed, and then moves on to a detailed evaluation of the chief doctrinal and practical emphases, taking an evangelical biblical perspective that seeks to be at once both critical and irenic. ""Broad enough to supply needed context, deep enough to grant true insight, David Smith's work is a much needed introduction to the wide range of theologies clamoring for attention in this fast-changing world."" --Mark Boughan, Emmanuel Bible College, Kitchener, ON, Canada ""This book is a most valuable resource. It is almost impossible to keep pace with the rise of new theologies. Human society is continually in transition giving rise to divergent concepts of God and human relationships. Not all theological change is good. Smith helpfully traces sixteen contemporary theologies through influential thinkers, providing irenic evaluations and resources for further study."" --August H. Konkel, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, ON, Canada David L. Smith (MDiv, PhD, Southern Baptist Seminary) has served in Christian ministry for half a century as a pastor, a professor of theology, and a seminary administrator. He is also the author of A Handbook of Contemporary Theology (1992).
