| Summary: | While more fragmented than in mid-20th century, recent trends and directions in theology reveal some dominant approaches and particular sub-areas that have become the focus of significant attention. Although overlapping and intersecting, these are discernible both methodologically and thematically. Approaches include a commitment to cross-disciplinarity, contextuality, strategies of retrieval, articulation of confessional identity, and the re-appropriation of liberalism. Important sub-areas include the relationship with other religions, public theology, theology and Bible, philosophical theology, and apologetics. In conclusion, a plea for systematic theology is entered. |
