The different contexts of America and Europe have a significant impact on the development of comparative theology, especially in the German-speaking countries. The latter have found other solutions to the problem of religious pluralism that are not really conducive to comparative theology. Hence, the double responsibility of Catholic theology in particular toward the university and toward the C...

This article sketches out five theses of radical theology to contribute to a vision of the future of theology. Radical theology emerged out of the Death-of-God theology of the 1960s, as well as some forms of liberation theology. These theologies challenge the orthodoxy of most traditional forms of theological and religious reflection. Here the authors, who are part of the conversation of radica...

Three levels of Practical Theology experiential, reflective and orientational, must address the pursuit of practical Christian knowledge. Each level contributes to the formation of operational practical Christian knowledge as evaluating, ordering, localising and organising. Browning's correlational approach is criticised for leading to religious rather than Christian dynamic reflection. Barth's...

This article briefly looks at the roots of Deaf Liberation Theology in both the concept of Deaf people as an oppressed linguistic minority and the principles of Liberation theol...

This short article attempts to construct a liturgical theology of the General Assembly of Presbyterian Churches in Korea (GAPCK). As a Reformed tradition, the GAPCK has two solid foundations for its theology and practice: the Bible and the theology of Calvin. The GAPCK frequently uses Calvin’s theology as the primary hermeneutic for interpreting the Bible and applying it to ministerial practice...

In light of these shortcomings, they o"er a radical political theology as a “necessary supplement” to the pr...

Life is plural and diverse, biodiverse. This reality has always provoked philosophy, the sciences, and also theology. But how does theological thinking reflect on this eco-human diversity? What about religious diversity? Are diversity and pluralism the same phenomenon? These questions express the aim of this article: to reflect on theology in the face of diversity and pluralism. With the method...

This article takes up the onto-theological critique of metaphysics and questions whether onto-theology is not something to evade or overcome, but is inevitable. Consequently, it furthers the exploration of onto-theology by asking, if it is inevitable, then what comes after onto-theology? For the past half-century, onto-theology has been a central concern for philosophy, particularly in phenomen...

Given that comparative theology is aimed at learning from the insights of other religious traditions, the comparative theologian‘s confessional perspective must be engaged and subject to possible transformation through the discovery of truth in those traditions. Despite Francis Clooney‘s and James Fredericks‘ attempts to distance comparative theology from the theology of religions, its truth-se...
