This edited collection affirms the joy of engaging theologically in interdisciplinary dialogue from a Nordic perspective.In tribute to Danish Professor of Systematic Theology Niels Henrik Gregersen (1956-), editors Bo Kristian Holm, Else Marie Wiberg Pedersen, Mikkel Gabriel Christoffersen, and their contributors affirm interdisciplinary dialogue as a fundamental avenue for Nordic theology to reach the world. Theology, to Gregersen, is a dynamic, context-sensitive, and interdisciplinary practice, which aims to help us understand reality as God's reality. Organized around four key dialogues (Theology, Method, and Science; Scandinavian Creation Theology; Deep Incarnation; Theology in Society), the essays herein revitalize such conversations between theology and interdisciplinarity begun by Gregersen, prompting readers to consider what we might gain by bringing theology "e;into the world."e; Juxtaposing theology with quantum mechanics, ecology, and education, to name a few, Holm, Pedersen, and Christoffersen reveal how theology provides vital insights when placed within non-theological, scholarly contexts. At its core, this edited collection proliferates a central message of Gregersen's scholarship, contending that the spirit of Nordic Lutheranism offers unique interventions within global theological and non-theological dialogues.
