God in Context: A Survey of Contextual Theology (Ashgate Translations in Philosophy, Theology, and Religion) (Ashgate Translations in Philosophy, Theology, and Religion)

This work surveys important concepts, positions and problems of contextual theology, dealing with different criteria for the interpretation of "context" and providing explanations of different theoretical models for contextual theology. Particular topics discussed include: the importance of place for the experience of God; a dynamic, correlative and communicative view of tradition; the approach to knowledge in contextualism and the greater right of the poor to aesthetic knowledge; human ecological formation of theology; and the contributions of pictorial art and architecture to contextual theology.
