Zusammenfassung:The paper examines the theological shorthand within five contemporary worship songs.1 The central argument is that key words within this espoused and operant theology (Cameron et al., 2010) function as theological shorthand,2 identified as fragments of a coherent theology. To illuminate the text within the songs as theological shorthand these theological fragments are brought into discussion with the work of Bretherton (2007), Christie (2012), Hauerwas (1983), MacIntyre (1996), Ward (2005) and Vanhoozer (2010). These authors act as the voice of formal theology (Cameron et al., 2010) to help articulate a critical, philosophical, and theologically informed enquiry that facilitates faithful theological reflection from within the Christian tradition on how the theological shorthand within worship songs functions as icons of epistemology. In turn, those of us who inhabit the world of formal theology may act as dialogical guides and storytellers of the Christian tradition.
