What are we thinking? Reflections on Church and Society from Southern African Methodists
Dion A Forster, Wessel Bentley
This book offers insights into the current theological debates in the Methodist Church, with particular reference to Methodism in Southern Africa. There are a number of things that make this book valuable and unique.
First, there is the variety of authors and topics.
Second the variety of topics reflects key points in our social, cultural, economic and political context.
Third, there is a crying need for up-to-date books that relate the whole gospel to the whole world.
Fourth, the book does not aim to indoctrinate us, but rather challenge us to become thinking Christians in our own contexts. And while Christian readers of all denominations will be challenged and enriched by this book, a fifth reason for my enthusiasm is that it gives contemporary expression to the spirit of John Wesley. Not only were his interests wide ranging, as are the topics in this book, but he managed to develop that rare and precious mix of a theology that is simultaneously passion and reasonable, both deeply spiritual and socially engaged.
That is the excellent mix that this book offers.
Topics covered include: Environmental ethics, Postmodernism, emergent Church, Wesleyan theology, mission, gender issues, same sex, Biblical interpretation, truth, youth, African theology, Methodism.
