A framework for theological conversation

Glenn R. Kreider presents theology as a shared discussion among people approaching questions about God from different disciplines and roles, including philosophy, science, art, ministry, and history. The book introduces theological method alongside practical guidance for how believers can begin doctrinal conversations and engage with one another. Its table-centered framing emphasizes the conduct and ground rules of discussion as well as the subject matter itself, making the book an introductory guide to both the process and practice of theology.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Believers seeking an introduction to theological method.
  • Readers interested in discussing doctrine across different fields and roles.
  • Those looking for practical guidance on engaging in theological conversations.

Book overview

Around a table sit men and women with distinct roles: The Interpreter, the Theologian, the Virtuous, the Philosopher, the Scientist, the Artist, the Minister, and the Historian. Each is ready to engage in a passionate discussion centered on God, his works, and his ways. Regardless of which role you play at the same table, you're invited. You simply need to pull up a chair and join the conversation. But how? What do you say when you take your seat? Where do you start? What are the "rules" of the dialogue?

A Practical Primer on Theological Method will help you answer these questions. This primer is not only a "how-to" manual for doing theology, but a handbook of etiquette for doctrinal discussions with other believers. This popular-level introductory text presents the proper manner, mode, and means of engaging fruitfully in theology.
