intro to contextual theology.
cultural, social, and historical contexts shape our beliefs and interpretations of scripture. contextual theology emphasises the idea that theology cannot exist in a vacuum but should be engaged with the specific realities and challenges of a particular time and place. by examining how faith interacts with diverse cultural perspectives and social realities, contextual theology fosters a more inclusive and relevant understanding of our faith.
we introduce you to two scholars in this field who seek to move our interpretation of scripture beyond dogmatic rigidity towards interpretations which responds to the complexities of our world, promoting dialogue, justice, and meaningful engagement with our communities. through contextual theology, we can strive for a more authentic and transformative faith experience.
