Theology and sociology -- pt. 2. Sociological challenges to theological assumptions -- pt. 3. Social context re-assessed.Over the last 30 years a number of theologians have been using aspects of sociology alongside the more traditional resources of philosophy. In turn, sociologists with an interest in theology have also contributed to an interaction between theology and sociology. The time is right to revisit the dialogue between theologians and sociologists. In his new trilogy on Sociological Theology, Robin Gill makes a renewed contribution to the mapping of three abiding ways of relating theology and sociology, with the three volumes covering: Theology in a Social Context; Theology Shaped by Society; Society Shaped by Theology. Theology in a Social Context argues that a sociological perspective, properly understood, can make an important contribution to theology. Part I looks carefully at various objections raised by both theologians and sociologists, maintaining instead that a proper understanding of social context is a prerequisite for effective theology. Part II suggests that a sociological perspective offers crucial insights into resurgent forms of fundamentalism. Part III offers a fresh account of social context in the modern world, once thought by sociologists and theologians alike to consist simply of increasing secularization.Ashgate contemporary ecclesiology.Christian sociologyTheologyMethodologyReligion and sociologyChristian sociology.TheologyMethodology.Religion and sociology.261.5Gill Robin.448212MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779040103321Theology in a social context3801603UNINA
