Beskrivning
Why does bad theology happen to good people?Is it even possible for theology to go "bad"? On the one hand, the answer ought to be ‘no’. It comes from God, so how can it be bad? Yet theology is predominately human construct, and as a result, humans can influence their theological conclusions with their own desires and beliefs. The result, more often than we care to admit, is ‘bad theology’.Drawing on a careful definition of ‘bad theology’ as theology which denies human flourishing, avoids self-reflection and doesn’t seek justice and equality, Leah Robinson offers a series of penetrating case studies which show what bad theology can look like when put into action. As we look at how theology can be bad, she argues, we might begin to understand how it might be better.

Recensioner i media

"The question of what bad theology is and what it looks like should certainly concern us more than it often does. It does seem strange that we practical theologians tend to think of theology as inevitably good, when it is often obvious that this is not inevitably the case. In this book Leah Robinson takes us on an important journey into the nature of practical theology and what happens when theology moves from good to bad, and importantly, what we should do about it. This is a fascinating and important book that serves as an important reminder that theology can have a dark side."
