The classic theology text, Introduction to Theology, by Network member Owen Thomas, is now out in a third edition, co-authored by Ellen Wondra (Morehouse, 2002; ISBN: 0819218979). Thomas, who earned a doctorate in physics before turning to theology, was professor of theology at Episcopal Divinity School (EDS) for many years. He is currently an adjunct faculty member at the Graduate Theological Union, in Berkeley (GTU). Wondra is associate professor of theological studies at Bexley Hall.
In the introduction, the authors state that theology "must deal with fundamental question of the nature and meaning of existence, and it must interpret all areas of human experience, including the physical and human sciences, in light of the biblical revelation." They consider science and technology in an integrated fashion throughout the book, for example, in the chapters on Revelation, Providence, Humanity, and Eschatology.
Congratulations to the authors on the publication of this revision. As with both earlier editions, this one is certain to be important in training clergy and lay leaders in theological methodology.
