An Introduction to Theology in Global Perspective

Offers a comprehensive guide to doing theology as part of the Catholic ecclesial community in today's globalized world.

An Introduction to Theology in Global Perspective emphasizes that theology is an activity, a process that is anchored in Scripture but interpreted by ecclesial tradition and the magisterium. This theology is rooted in the experience that divine is found in a sacramental world and community.

This book also describes a systematic theology as refelction upon the church's central teachings on creation, sin, redemption, the Trinity, anthropology, ecclesiology, salvation, and eternal life.

A remarkable achievement. In this volume the reader benefits from ascholar's mastery of theological tradition, the clarity and insight of a brillian teacher, the sophisticated global contextualization that comes from a lifelong commitment to Christian mission, and the humility of a committed spiritual pilgrim. --Richard R. Gaillardetz, University of Toledo
