Turning Theology: A Proposal

Abstract:
Drawing out Stephen Bevans’s thesis that Christian theologizing has never been an exclusively European project, this article proposes that theologians working within the context of the United States turn their theological praxis to consideration of persons in all our splendid, impoverished, joyous, sobering, and diverse humanity. The article accords particular attention to cultural pluralism and interculturality along with transdisciplinary methods of theologizing.
