Shaping Theology Engagements in a Religious and Secular World [Paperback]

• 
  
• An innovative book about the shape of theology in reaction to its relationship with the Church, with theologians, with other religions, and with the university
  
• Written by David Ford, recognized internationally as one of the most creative of contemporary theologians
  
• Considers how theology shapes other areas of life via its conversations in the public sphere and with non-faith communities
  
• Views theology as both a way of thinking and a way of living, and considers how this lived character cannot be entirely grasped through reason alone
  
• The first volume to bring together a complete and well-rounded account of theology’s interaction with all its conversation partners.
