Theologies and Practices of Inclusion
Inclusion has recently become a high priority issue within the development sector, brought to the fore by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development's commitment to leave no one behind. Practices within the remit of inclusion often focus on increasing access and meaningful participation, with emphasis placed on bringing those at the margins to the centre. Theologies and Practices of Inclusion challenges such centre-focused practices from a global perspective, based on research conducted within the Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation Tearfund and beyond. Offering inspiration for practitioners within the sector and faith-based organisations in particular, as well as an academic contribution to the fields of international development studies and theology, the book aims to bridge theology and practice in an accessible way. Consisting of 13 chapters and case studies, this book draws on the wisdom of a diverse team of contributors at the forefront of international development, working in a variety of contexts. These include South Africa, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Ecuador, Panama, Bolivia, the Philippines, Iraq, Egypt and the UK. Highlighting ‘journey’, ‘change’ and ‘belonging’ as three key aspects of inclusion, the book explores the outworking of theologies of inclusion within organisational practice. With a foreword by Ruth Valerio, and an afterword by Catriona Dejean.
The Routledge Companion to the Practice of Christian Theology
This Companion introduces readers to the practice of Christian theology, covering what theologians do, why they do it, and what steps readers can take in order to become theological practitioners themselves. The volume aims to capture the variety of practices involved in doing theology, highlighting the virtues that guide them and the responsibilities that shape them. It also shows that the description of these practices, virtues and responsibilities is itself theological: what Christian theologians do is shaped by the wider practices and beliefs of Christianity. Written by a team of leading theologians, the Companion provides a unique resource for students and scholars of theology alike.

A groundbreaking collection of original essays on the meaning, depth, and breadth of liturgical theology. The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Liturgical Theology offers an unprecedented account of this rapidly growing and interdisciplinary field. Unique in its depth and scope, this comprehensive volume defines the field of liturgical theology, examines its historical development, describes its mission and methodologies, reviews key theory and literature, and more. Original essays written by prominent and emerging scholars situate liturgical theology within the broader scheme of theological inquiry, reflecting the field’s close links to systematic and biblical theology, ritual and socio-anthropological studies, and religious studies. Designed for students and scholars alike, the companion serves as both an introduction to the field and as a clarion call to push the boundaries of existing research. The collected essays incorporate constructive research and practical application in essential areas of liturgical theology, discussing foundational topics including liturgical ecclesiology, linguistics and hermeneutics, the epistemology of liturgy, and the holy sacraments. Looking toward the future of the field, many essays focus on emerging subjects such as womanist liturgical theology, liturgy and trauma, and liturgical theology as ecclesial discernment. This unique state-of-the-art overview: Brings together contributions by a diverse panel of scholars representing more than a dozen denominations spanning five continents. Features a detailed introductory section containing traditional hermeneutics, literature reviews, and methodological examinations. Bridges the generational gap between younger and older practitioners within the field. Describes the current state of liturgical theology and suggests future research directions, placing liturgical theology within the broader scheme of theological inquiry. The first research-based volume of its kind, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Liturgical Theology is the perfect textbook for seminarians and lay students in courses on liturgical theology, the history of worship, and practical theology, as well as a valuable resource for theologians of all disciplines. With both professor, practitioner, and student in mind, this collection of essays is designed to educate and inspire through constructive research and application in all matters of liturgical theology.
