Description
Summary:This paper looks at the new kinds of theology (e.g. practical, pastoral) which claim to be rooted in the experience of believers, and attempt to adopt a listening stance towards them. Specifically, it charts the relationship between my own version of ‘ordinary theology’, which takes as its starting point reflections on a liberation theology for ordinary people, and Professor J. Astley's version, which examines the theology of those without theological training. It suggests two sets of topics, the exploration of which would develop ‘ordinary theology’, helping it to fulfil theology's liberative and apologetic vocations.
