Theology in the Making by Gesa E Thiessen

Theology in the Making by Gesa E Thiessen

In a world which we are constantly reminded is becoming more and more secular the study of theology can seem to many an outdated pursuit. In Theology in the Making Gesa E. Thiessen and Declan Marmion have compiled biographical accounts from more than a dozen international theologians in order to remind us that theology does matter. Writers as diverse as Una Agnew, Werner C. Jeanrond, Mary T. Malone, Enda McDonagh and Michael Paul Gallagher discuss issues including their call to study theology, the figures that have influenced them in their studies, how their theology has adapted over the years and the relevance of theology in contemporary Ireland. Rather than being simply a job like any other these writers demonstrate a life-long commitment to the pursuit of, to quote St Anselm, a faith seeking understanding that constitutes theological investigation. As such Theology in the Making is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the relationship between Christianity, theology and biography in the modern world.
