394 pages ; 24 cm."What are the major theologies in vogue in our time? And how are they to be evaluated by evangelicals who want to be on the cutting edge of the Christian faith while remaining faithful to the authority of Scripture? A Handbook of Contemporary Theology answers both of these questions in detail." "David L. Smith provides an extensive overview of the current traditional and nontraditional theologies, as well as a discussion of emerging Third World theologies." "The author notes the origins and history of each movement, illuminates the major figures whose work engendered the theology, and documents the doctrinal emphases. Then he evaluates the central teachings and practices of each system in light of biblical Christianity, pinpointing both what evangelicals can learn in a positive sense and what they would do well to shun." -- Publisher.Fundamentalism -- Neo-orthodoxy -- Pentecostalism -- Evangelicalism -- Neo-liberalism -- Post-Vatican II Catholicism -- Eastern Orthodox theology -- The charismatic movement -- The theology of hope -- Process theology -- Secular theology -- Theologies of success -- Liberation theology -- Third Wave theology : the Vineyard movement -- Feminist theology -- Reconstructionist (Dominion) theology -- The New Age movement -- Creation spirituality -- Appendix : some third-world theological directions."A BridgePoint book."Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-381) and indexes.TheologyHistory20th centuryHandbooks, manuals, etcTheologyTheologieGodsdienstwetenschapLeermiddelen (vorm) 1900-1999 fast BT28 .S55 1992230/.09/0411.000896936996978089693699791046801DLC91121220220216102401.0ocm25048903 eng
