Catholic Theology: T&T Clark

Autor Tracey Rowland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2017
Rowland showcases here the dominant contemporary approaches to doing Catholic theology. Chapter 1 offers a summary of the two International Theological Commission (ITC) documents on the discipline of Catholic theology. These documents set out the general principles which should govern any approach to Catholic theology (at least according to the ITC). The subsequent chapters each focus on one of four different approaches frequently found in contemporary Catholic academies: the approach of Thomists, members of the Communio milieu, members of the Concilium milieu and promoters of different varieties of Liberation Theology.
Rowland's work is pitched at the level of first time students of theology who are trying to make sense of the methodological choices which undergird the different approaches to Catholic theology.
Rowland concludes with four appendices: a list of all Doctors of the Church, a list of all encyclicals since the 19th century, a list of the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and a list of definitions of the various Christological heresies which were the subject of the debates of the early Church Councils.
These appendices will provide useful reference tables for young scholars, including seminarians.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In this updated edition, Rowland showcases contemporary approaches to doing Catholic theology.

This edition features a new chapter on liberation theology, which explores Argentinian "People's Theology" as well as Rowland's analysis of the Synod of Synodality. Rowland's work is a valuable guide for students who are seeking to understand the methodological choices that undergird the different approaches to Catholic theology. She succinctly conveys complicated developments and arguments in a clear and nuanced way.

Rowland also offers a summary of the two International Theological Commission documents on the discipline of Catholic theology. The subsequent chapters each focus on different approaches frequently found in contemporary Catholic academies: the approach of Thomists as well as the perspective of the Communio and Concilium mileus.

This concludes with four invaluable appendices: a list of all Doctors of the Church, encyclicals since the 19th century, the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and a list of definitions of the various Christological heresies which were the subject of the debates of the early Church Councils.

This is essential reading for young scholars and seminarians alike.

Index

Recenzii

At a time when the landscape of Catholic theology is fractured by competing methods and interpretive visions, Tracey Rowland offers a singular and breathtakingly wide-ranging guide to its terrain, attentive to the doctrinal guardrails that sustain its integrity. With remarkable clarity, she maps the major divisions, conflicting metanarratives, and diverse schools of theologians shaping the field, enabling readers to grasp the central "big issues" that define contemporary theology. This is the most comprehensive and illuminating volume of its kind-an indispensable resource for scholars and novices alike seeking to navigate confusion and penetrate to the heart of contemporary Catholic theology.
Rowland's book is a unique traveling companion for newcomers to contemporary Catholic theology. It also proves invaluable for those who, having sailed the theological seas for years, still struggle in making sense of their currents and undertows. Her wide expertise in how politics and culture relate to theology shines anew in this second edition, which adds issues arising from the 'Synod on Synodality' to Chapter 5. Especially praiseworthy is her clear analysis of the theological roots and options of the last three popes. Catholic Theology makes for a great addition to theological syllabuses both in seminaries and universities.
I can think of no better text to orientate students to the contemporary theological world than Rowland's Catholic Theology. Her insights, analysis, and synthesis make this text essential for any class in fundamental theology and theological method.
