Extract

This chapter surveys Christian theology from the turbulent 1960s – including significant reforms in Catholic theology, a renewed emphasis on history and eschatology in Protestant theology, and the rise of political and liberation theologies – to the postmodern present. The chapter concludes the book by inquiring about the significance of non-western theological proposals for the increasingly secularized West.
