Produktinformationen zu „Theology and the Disciplines of the Foreign Service (ePub)“
In the course of Theodore Lewis' career in the US Foreign Service--spanning twenty-nine years and including tours of duty in Vietnam, Pakistan, the DRCongo, and Korea--he came upon many significant links with theology. This book tells the story of his discovery of these links and their importance. It is also a story of God bringing good out of human tragedy. Lewis ends by drawing together the implications of these links for natural theology, which deals with how theology ought to relate to the world--and thus is of prime importance for both theology and the world. The salient implication of these links is that the Holy Spirit operating as at Pentecost can bring together the secular with the theological, the academic with the human. And by validating this possibility, the book breaks decisive new ground. In particular, it makes clear the vital contribution that Foreign Service and other craft disciplines can and should make to the restoration of the church and to the advent of a new Pentecost.
Autoren-Porträt von Theodore L. Lewis
Theodore L. Lewis is an Anglican priest and a retired US Foreign Service Officer. After service in World War II, he earned advanced degrees from Harvard University and, later, Virginia Theological Seminary, his ordained vocation having come from exposure in the Foreign Service to churches of the Global South. Following his Foreign Service retirement, Lewis turned to theological study and writing, privileged by connections with Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and the Duke Divinity School. He presently engages in parish ministry.
