The "death of God" movement famously declared that belief in the God of Christian tradition is meaningless in the modern world. Does this herald the death of theology, too? No, suggests Galston. At its best, theology is the place where tradition pushes itself to the limits of its own thought. Problems arise when theology holds onto an old version of God, emphasizing a closed approach to religion. How can communities foster a more open-minded and flexible approach to theology? How can theologians respond to the pressing concerns of modern culture sensitively and intelligently without clinging to outdated metaphors for God? Marking key features and turning points in Western theology, Galston combines expertise in the philosophy of religion with practical experience as a facilitator in a wisdom-based community, to guide readers through questions surrounding the future of religion Writing in a scholarly yet accessible style, Galston suggests that theology is best conceived of as a creative work of art focused on the task of reimagining and recasting the world with engaging hope ... I highly recommend this book to scholars and lay followers of theology alike. For Galston manages to shine light upon a promising direction for theology today. This is certainly an important contribution in its own right, and one, therefore, that is well worth further consideration. --Journal of Religion David Galston is a University Chaplain, Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, Academic Director at Westar Institute, a regular speaker at the Quest Learning Centre, and academic adviser to the SnowStar Institute in Canada.
