Theologies of the 21st Century: Trends in Contemporary Theology
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
What theologies are popular and formative of Christian thinking in the present day? How should they be assessed by those Christians who want to be “in the world” without being "of the world"? Theologies of the 21st Century begins with an overview of the historical roots from which current theological thinking has developed, and then moves on to a detailed evaluation of the chief doctrinal and practical emphases, taking an evangelical biblical perspective that seeks to be at once both critical and irenic.

”Broad enough to supply needed context, deep enough to grant
true insight, David Smith’s work is a much needed introduction to
the wide range of theologies clamoring for attention in this
fast-changing world."
--Mark Boughan, Emmanuel Bible College, Kitchener, ON, Canada
“This book is a most valuable resource. It is almost impossible to
keep pace with the rise of new theologies. Human society is
continually in transition giving rise to divergent concepts of God
and human relationships. Not all theological change is good. Smith
helpfully traces sixteen contemporary theologies through
influential thinkers, providing irenic evaluations and resources
for further study."
--August H. Konkel, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, ON,
Canada
