Description
The book titled Reconstructing Theology draws its name from the word “Reconstruction” refers to rebuilding some of the concepts of modernity while recognizing the questions and challenges of postmodern philosophies and contexts in the postmodern perspective. It has sought scholars and church leaders to reconstruct issues in mission from the Biblical, Theological, Historical, Religious, and Ministerial disciplines. These multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional reflections on various issues challenge to reconstruct a new space where God’s reign is realised in new alternative ways where there are differences but each may recognise the image of God in the other by respecting each other’s human dignity and sharing resources with each other in order to be a part of God’s reign. This volume of reconstructing theology is an attempt to recognize the importance of not just being a critic of old structures, concepts, and beliefs, but tries to provide an alternative to them in the postmodern context of India.
