An Introduction to Theology in Global Perspective

This highly praised text provides a contemporary and global perspective on doing Catholic theology, emphasizing theology as an activity, a process, anchored in Scripture and as interpreted by ecclesial Tradition and Magisterium: a theology rooted in the experience that the divine is to be found in a sacramental world and community. Bevans describes systematic theology as reflection upon the central teachings of the church -- creation, sin, redemption, Trinity, anthropology, salvation and eternal life, ecclesiology--in a contextual light, as it makes sense in a world of cultural and religious plurality.
