"Approaches theology not as content to be mastered or produced but as a process." - Stephen B. Bevans, Catholic Theological Union Chicago Illinois Doing Local Theology presents the construction of "local theologies" as an enterprise that's not just for specialists. This exciting and prac-tical book promises to become a standard in courses on theological method and foundations of ministry. "Practitioners of theology-novices and masters alike-are in Clemens Sedmak's debt for his expert and detailed guidance to doing theology as a way of following Jesus, doing theology as Jesus himself did, and constructing 'little theologies for our postmodern times. Doing Local Theology masterfully blends orthodoxy with orthoprax-is, the theoretical with the practical, prayer with reflection, univer-sality with particularity. In this way of doing theology, the local the-ologian emerges, in Sedmak's memorable phrase, as 'the village cook. I most warmly recommend this book to those who want to embark upon theology not only as an academic discipline but also as a spiritual ascesis." -Peter C.
