Theological Cartographies

Benjamín Valentín is Professor of Theology and Culture and Director of the Orlando Costas Lectureship in Latino/a Theology at Andover Newton Theological School in Massachusetts. He is the author of the award-winning Mapping Public Theology: Beyond Culture, Identity, and Difference.

"Maps help us reach old destinations by new roads, and open up to us possibilities for entirely new journeys. Benjamin Valentin's Theological Cartographies does both of these things. He shows that established theological topics conceal hidden pathways and cross-connections. He also allows the reader to put together his or her own itinerary through the central landscape of Christian belief." --S. Mark Heim, Samuel Abbot Professor of Christian Theology, Andover Newton Theological School "This is destined to become a leading introductory text to Christian theology. Valentin's approach is intellectually rigorous yet accessible, historically sophisticated yet contemporary, open to interdisciplinary insights yet profoundly theological. Valentin masterfully conveys the rich diversity of the Christian intellectual tradition while explaining how today's questions and theological perspectives can contribute to that tradition." --Roberto S. Goizueta, Margaret O'Brien Flatley Professor of Catholic Theology, Boston College "Valentin offers an insightful and careful theological cartography of the myriad of ways that our understanding of God, Humanity, and Christ persists today. I highly recommend this as a teaching resource for students in theological education!" --Anne Joh, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
