An innovative conceptual survey of Christian theology in the twentieth century in relation to key historical events and transformative developments in intellectual and ecclesial cultures. This volume re-examines the history of twentieth-century Christian theology by tracing key concepts, problems and themes as they develop in context with new perspectives opened up by contemporary theology itself. The ambition is to illuminate the context, dynamism and complexities of its traditions and in doing so to offer a critical and creative ressourcement for contemporary theologians. The range of international contributors to this volume inquire afresh into the preoccupations, problems, provocations and prospects of Christian theology in the century just past to ask anew about just what in this recent history matters and why. Key features: A distinctive mapping of twentieth-century theology organized around crucial concepts rather than as a story of ‘great thinkers’ A variegated account which is alert to the continuing formative interaction of theology with philosophy and wider scientific culture, as well as to the social and political changes which reshaped the context within which theology was done Contributors include Elina Vuola, Rachel Muers, Jane Barter Moulaison, Mark Lindsay and Travis Kroeker.
