DESCRIPTION

How should one approach the task of theology?

The question of methodology is increasingly one of interest among theologians, who recognize that the very manner in which we approach theology informs both the questions we ask and the conclusions we reach.

This volume in IVP's Spectrum Multiview series brings together five evangelical theologians with distinctly different approaches to the theological task. After presenting the approaches—which include appeals to Scripture, context, missions, interdisciplinary studies, and dogmatics—each contributor responds to the other views.

Emerging from this theological conversation is an awareness of our methodological commitments and the benefits that each approach can bring to the theological task.
