Duncan Forrester, one of the world's most celebrated practical theologians, here provides a timely collection of essays exploring the kind of insights, challenges and imperatives that theological fragments are capable of providing. Having explored the idea of theological fragments in previous publications, Forrester here develops the notion, which is partly borrowed from Kierkegaard, at greater length, also responding to post-modernism and to the so-called end of ideology. This important collection provides a coherent and engaging exploration of a fragmented topic, and the essays contained within demonstrate how fragments of insight can be illuminating and effective guides.
