John W. de Gruchy has been at the forefront of efforts to reimagine theology as an interdisciplinary task, and this volume not only honors de Gruchy's work but uses it as a wellspring for theology in the twenty-first century. The title explores the relationship between Christian theology and a wide range of disciplines drawn from the arts, humanities, and sciences. These engaging chapters reveal the contributions that other facets of life can make to Christian thought while also upholding the vital religious grounding that theology brings to conversations about culture, politics, ethics, history, sociology, and other topics.
