Practical Theology
Ethnography as Christian Theology and Ethics
Edited by Aana Marie Vigen and Christian Scharen
T&T Clark (Bloomsbury), 2024 · Fully revised 2nd edition
Vigen and Scharen's revised chapters on what ethnography is, and why theologians and ethicists turn to it, sit alongside nine new studies by leading and emerging scholars, from Indonesian migrant workers in Singapore to vigils kept after gun violence. The edition honours the life and work of the Rev. Dr. Melissa D. Browning.
Christian Practical Wisdom
By Dorothy C. Bass, Kathleen A. Cahalan, Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore, James R. Nieman and Christian B. Scharen
William B. Eerdmans, 2016
In this richly collaborative work, five distinguished scholars examine the oft-neglected embodied practical wisdom that is essential for true theological understanding and faithful Christian living. After first showing what Christian practical wisdom is and does in several real-life situations, the authors tell why such practical wisdom matters and how it operates, exploring reasons behind its decline in both the academy and the church and setting forth constructive cases for its renewal.
Fieldwork in Theology
Exploring the Social Context of God's Work in the World
Baker Academic, 2015
