Description
This collection of essays was written as a tribute to Prof. Hans Schwarz during his 70th year. The volume is organized into three sections according to the geographical regions where Prof. Schwarz has established most significant connections: Europe, Asia/Australia, and North America. Each of the three sections of the book begins with a tribute written by a much esteemed colleague from that region of the world. The book consists of unique and stimulating essays written under the common theme, Doing Theology in a Global Context. This title was selected to resonate with Prof. Schwarz's own recent and masterful account of 19th and 20th century theology, Theology in a Global Context.2 One consistent characteristic of theology as demonstrated through these essays is keen attentiveness to its contextual nature. This is reflected in how the authors bring the treasures of the theological tradition to bear on the questions and dilemmas facing church and society in the contemporary world. Most of the essays revolve around fundamental issues with which Prof. Hans Schwarz has occupied himself throughout his academic career, such as the relationship between theology and natural science, faith and knowledge, the confession of Christ within the universe of faiths, worship and the life of the church, or the problem of evil. The authors thereby demonstrate how the trajectory of theology done in a global context continues to move forward into the 21st century in a lively and relevant way. Just imagine how the theological currents have flowed outward from Regensburg into all the varied contexts represented by the authors of these essays.
