Synopsis

Sacred Adventure provides an introduction to religious studies and the discipline of theology from a Christian perspective. This study brings together many of the clearest theological thinkers, and presents their ideas in an understandable way. William C. Graham assembles not only some of the most accessible interpretations of the basic theological concepts, but also includes the creative expression of major figures such as Thomas Aquinas and Gerard Manley Hopkins. This juxtaposition creates a thorough, philosophical, introduction to Christian theology for any interested person, whether a person of faith or someone merely curious about Christian theology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sacred Adventure is an initial consideration of Christianity, God's call, and the human response. The contributors are not catechists, but theologians who, after St. Anselm, see theology as faith seeking understanding. The text targets those who seek to understand Christianity and its theology. The essays highlight the interconnectedness and distinct features of religion as they seek to hear and respond to God's call. The authors are well-known theological thinkers and writers, including Cardinal Avery Dulles, S.J., and younger emerging scholars. The book discusses issues of faith, religion, and theology from the scripture perspectives; Thomas's proofs of the existence of God; the early church; liberation theology; and feminism.
