About this video
Runtime: 25 minsDavid Ford discusses the way that theology has developed significantly over the past 100 years. Since 1918, theology started to become more globally diverse, incorporating various cultural contexts, including African, Asian, South American, and Australian theologies. This period also saw an increase in women's voices and a broadening of theological interests, such as theology's interaction with politics, economics, science, art, and spirituality. Hans Frei's typology, which ranges from fully assimilating modern philosophy to maintaining traditional Christian tenets while engaging with modernity, provides a useful framework for understanding this diversity. Key focuses include the Trinity, Christology, eschatology, and pneumatology, with significant contributions from 19th-century thinkers like Kant, Schleiermacher, Hegel, and Kierkegaard. The modern era also emphasizes theology's relationship with contemporary issues, such as gender, science, economics, and interfaith dialogue.
