Reordering Theological Reflection by Helen Collins

What would theological reflection look like if scripture were the starting point? For many, beginning the process of formation the bible is already a natural place to begin, and models of theological reflection which start in other places can be hard to swallow. All too often, as a result, they reject the idea of reflecting theologically altogether, an outcome which is damaging for their future ministry and for the church as a whole. This book to re-discover the theological heart of the discipline of practical theology and develop new methods which take scripture and tradition more seriously. Offering an alternative to the usual models of theological reflection, this careful and helpful guide demonstrates to students the possibilities which emerge when the starting point for theological reflective practice.
‘Finding ways to help ministers to reflect theologically and profitably on life and practice is one of the most important tasks in ministerial educationThere is widespread agreement that existing ways of doing this are often frustrating and not really fit for purpose. Helen Collin’s take on this challenge situating theological reflection in relation to the study of the bible. This is an important contribution to the developing conversation around this vital area.” -- Pete Ward, Durham University, UK
“This is an important book that challenges some of the dominant approaches in practical theology. It seeks to recover the authoritative role that Scripture has in theological reflection, which is to be welcomed. It also pays attention to the role of the Holy Spirit and Christian experience. As such, it provides a timely contribution to the field. I commend it to students and scholars alike.” -- Mark Cartledge, London School of Theology, UK
