Focusing on Life Hope Faith and Love Song delves into each theme or locus (1) as it can be approached in peoples experiences or stories (2) as it appears in related stories from other religious traditions (3) how its central import can be expressed theologically and (4) how it can appear in practice. Thus story becomestheology then theology becomes story. Central to these stories says Song is the heart that believes inspite of hardships and despair the heart that struggles to make sense of what seems senseless in life and history.Songs strong narratives and engaging style will make this volume appealing in a variety of settings especially for introductory students clergy in search of homiletic material church groups and Christiansopen to insights from non-Western cultures.
