Product Description:
An outstanding introduction for college, seminary, and lay readers, this second edition of the 1996 volume has been fully updated and expanded with new resources, examples, vignettes, diagnostic exercisess, and case studies. Addressing the how and why of theological sources, moves, and methods, Stone and Duke guide readers into their own theological roots and then into major theological topics — gospel, sin and salvation, vocation, ethical discernment — through real-life case studies.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A thorough, clear introduction to theological reflection
Stone and Duke have produced an excellent introduction to theological reflection here. This book is very readable and doesn't sacrifice scholarship in order to be so. They have organized the book well, giving it a natural flow and progression from one topic to the next. They truly leave no major stone unturned in this volume. Highly recommended as a great starting point for reading about theological reflection.

This book on the other hand is written in a non-threatening way as a sensitive scholar may speak to his eager to learn but scared students. After reading this book I actually felt confident enough to begin sorting out my faith on my own and not simply rely on commentaries. In the process Theology became real, vibrant and even up lifting as I applied the results of this book.
Now don't get me wrong. I had to re-read some chapters to get it all but that was because I wanted to get it all and not because it was written in "high english". The authors actually made me feel that I wanted to get it and that I could get it.
I especially liked the explanation of sequential thinking ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very thoughtful
'How to Think Theologically' by Howard Stone and James Duke is a wonderfully accessible text, not about any particular school of theology, but rather, how to think theologically within almost any framework. While there are certainly some theological settings that prefer to go unquestioned and resist critical reflection, many are open to the kinds of reflection and critical analysis Stone and Duke describe here.

Embedded theology is that kind of theological content that is in us without our necessarily being aware of it. Embedded theology can come from early childhood ideas of God, Jesus, etc. Embedded theology can come from hymn texts, prayers, and sermons that reinforce ideas. Embedded theology can come from family, friends and neighbours. These are influences, ... Read More
