INTRODUCTION: What is a theologian?
PART I: THE SOURCES OF THEOLOGY : Scripture: the word and breath of God ; Tradition: the living body of Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit ; Reason: renewing the mind in the Spirit ; Experience: life in, by, and through the Spirit ;
PART II: THE PRACTICES OF THEOLOGY : Theology as spiritual practice: what difference does it make in personal lives? Theology as ecclesial practice: by, for, and through the church ; Theology as scholarly practice: researching, writing, and studying theology ; Theology as charismatic practice: theology by the Spirit, Trinitarian theologians.
Summary: Theology--the attempt to come to a deeper, more faithful understanding of ones encounter with God--is something to which all Christians are called. In Learning Theology, Amos Yong invites the reader to lay claim to that calling and to see it as yet another opportunity to love God. Written for those taking their first course in the subject, this book introduces the foundational sources and tasks of theology. It asks what difference theology makes in our lives, how it can influence the way we write and study, and how we understand other forms of learning as part of the Spirit's leadership. Yong encourages the reader to see all of life through the lens of faith, and Learning Theology offers tools to more thoughtfully and faithfully perform that task. - from publisher.
