This book introduces a new "multilateral" methodology for the contemporary study of theology. It bases this methodology on the idea that there are too many materials contributing as sources for theologizing to sustain the "one method fits all" approach found in many systematic theologies within Christianity. What is needed instead is something that reflects the various and varied natures, purposes, and tasks of theologians' theologizing for their respective contexts. Engaging materials from a range of Christian traditions, including Evangelicalism, the Catholic Magisterium, and a limitedrange of pan-Orthodox resources, the book analyzes and assesses major factors that have shaped different streams of theology. Addressing doctrinal development, scripture and revelation, historical tradition and creeds, philosophy and truth, sciences and interdisciplinarity, experience, religious pluralism, and culture, it demonstrates how these various streams can form a multilateral whole. The book concludes by examining the centers and peripherals of methodologies in theologization for a spectrum of theological traditions/streams, both across and beyond Christianity. By offering an approach that keeps in step with the increasingly interconnected and pluralistic world in which we live, this book provides a vital resource for any scholar of Christian theology, constructive theology, contextual theologies, and systematic theology, as well as religious studies.

Cet ouvrage mobilise les enjeux théologiques de la philosophie contemporaine afin de poser la question de la pertinence épistémologique et de la fécondité ontologique du discours indirect en théologie (symbole, métaphore, récit). A la recherche d'une épistémologie théologique ouverte aux peuples à mentalité symbolique, cet essai propose de " faire de la théologie à partir des symboles " (P. Ricoeur) au sein d'une " conversation triangulaire " (J.Grisch) entre l'anthropologie, l a philosophie et la théologie. Pour y parvenir, après l'établissement du " jeu " comme catégorie de pensé e, il se déploie en anthropophanie, ontophanie et théophanie et illustre ainsi une théologie épiphanique plus monstrative que démonstrative. C'est ainsi que l'essai rend compte conceptuellement de la vérité de la for mule : " La métaphore est la manière la moins impertinente de parler de Dieu " (L.-M. Chauvet) et présente le récit comme la manière la plus dangereuse (J.-B. Metz) d'exprimer l'identité chrétienne dans l'histoire. L'épiphanie de Dieu est réfléchie par le jeu théologique, entre symbole et concept.
