A companion to the above two books; includes excerpts from the writings of the theologians

In recent years, the flow of Christian theology has been channeled in diverse streams represented by such trends and movements as black theology, liberation theology, feminist theology, and womanist theology. To survey this abundance and diversity of current Christian theology, this book examines the theologies of representative theologians. Particularly to help students navigate the sea of information, the editors have identified various routes for reading, and have traced several threads or issues common to many of the essays, thus demarcating such recurrent concerns as the ways in which the theologians consider the sources and goals for theology, their variant assumptions and conclusions about the nature of God, their divergent approaches to understanding the person and purpose of the Christ, and their distinct expectations for the destiny of history and faith.

50 years after the Second Vatican Council, emerging theologians are in a unique position to offer hopeful visions for the next 50 years in light of the passing internal and external challenges the church faces today. Rooted in the texts of Vatican II and a deep commitment to the church, this book brings together the research of leading young scholars around five important topics: dialogue, ecclesiology, ethics, liturgy, and ministry.
