Leading contemporary Episcopal theologians, both established figures andemerging voices, reflect on the vocation of theology from their unique perspectives.
The Episcopal Church has a deep, rich, diverse, and sophisticated theological heritage going back for centuries. However, for various reasons many members of the Church are unaware of this heritage in its complex fullness, and are likewise unfamiliar with those Episcopalians whose professional vocation it is to study, teach, and write about the doctrines of the Christian faith. This book introduces 15 of these contemporary scholars by inviting them to share how they became a theologian, how they understand the ongoing theological enterprise, and their personal vision for the vital place of theology in the life and mission of the Episcopal Church.
The outstanding contributors are a mix of academics, thought leaders and PhD students from prestigious institutions around the country including: Scott MacDougall, Anthony Baker, James Farwell, Jason Fout, Francisco Garcia, Olufemi Gonsalves, Thomas Holtzen, Kelli Joyce, Maxine King, Robert MacSwain, Joy Ann McDougall, Kara Slade, Katherine Sonderegger, Kathryn Tanner, and Sameer Yadav. Foreword by Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe and afterword by Matthew Ichihashi Potts.
