Preview: Coffeehouse Theology review

I had the privilege of being included in the study guide that accompanies Coffeehouse Theology: Reflecting on God in Everyday Life (it’s the section on gender if you’re interested, it’s basically a print of a post I did awhile back about egalitarianism) and was excited when the book arrived. I will be posting a review of it tonight but in the meantime, this is Ed Cyzewski sharing why he wrote “yet another” contextual theology book.

Having participated in the broader emerging church conversation on reimagining faith, culture, and practice in today’s context, I noticed a need during my seminary days for a book that provided a synthesis of mission, culture, theology, and Christian living accessible for just about everyone in the church. Not only did I want to bring the ideas of various thinkers together in one place, showing how they related to one another, I also wanted this book to be accessible for a reader who wouldn’t know a metanarrative if it hit him in the face—or marginalized his perspective for that matter.

In other words, we have mission, culture, the doctrine of God, Biblical theology, church history, and global Christianity, but need a fresh look at how they all relate together in our pursuit of contextual theology. That’s the scoop on Coffeehouse Theology: Reflecting on God in Everyday Life.

This review is the first part of a blog tour, be sure to check out how others feel about Ed’s book You can also read a sample chapter at TheOoze.com.
