Using the Bible in Practical Theology de Zoë Bennett

Using the Bible in Practical Theology: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives: Explorations in Practical, Pastoral and Empirical Theology

Zoë Bennett

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 dec 2014

Exploring how the Bible may be appropriately used in practical and public theology, this book looks at types of modern practical theology with specific emphasis on the use of the Bible. Bennett juxtaposes the diversity of modern practical theology with the work of leading nineteenth-century public 'theologian', John Ruskin, and then assesses the contribution of this analysis to some modern issues of public importance in which the Bible is used. The final chapter offers a framework for a biblically informed critical practical theology which draws on the writer's experience and invites the readers to engage their own.

Recenzii

A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2013 Classified as 'Research Essential' by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services ’In this groundbreaking book ZoÃ« Bennett brilliantly sketches the public theology of John Ruskin and skilfully uses it to illuminate practical theology and biblical hermeneutics. It is an outstanding contribution, not only to public theology but also to theology more generally. Calling on a wide array of interpretative skills, she illuminates a subject of pressing concern in a readable and compelling manner and demonstrates the value of historical study for the development of critical reflection. The study of John Ruskin, the Bible and theology will never look the same again.’ Christopher Rowland, Queen's College, Oxford, UK ’...a tantalising mix of autobiography, reflections from students and others, details of the doctorate course she leads on practical theology, John Ruskin and contemporary reflections on corporate finance and international conflict...’ Reader
