A NEW INTRODUCTION TO THEOLOGY - RICHARD BOURNE...

Encountering theology for the first time is exciting  but it can also be daunting. Some
struggle to connect with doctrinal discussion they perceive to be abstract or abstruse. Others
may find the scope of theology  and the connections between different theological issues 
dizzying. In order to address these difficulties and keep the initial excitement alive  A New
Introduction to Theology offers a range of accessible  practical  experiential and interactive
encounters with the major elements of academic Christian theology. The guiding motif of this
book is the claim that theology is full-bodied thought. The phrase 'full-bodied' shows both the
richness of the experience of theology and its nature as a thoroughly embodied encounter with
ways of knowing God and God's ways with the world. This motif allows the authors to bring
together topics ranging from theology through the arts  sexuality and the body and the nature
of the church's everyday life  to mystical theology  spirituality  political action and
ecology. Working imaginatively with the five senses and the notions of loving and resting  each
chapter provides a range of activities  guided discussions and reflections on key theological
texts  authors and issues. This is a unique introduction to the key innovative and
interdisciplinary elements from contemporary theology  ideal for individual reflection 
classroom work  or flexible and distributed learning.
