Since the late 1970’s practical theology has had a significant voice
and influence in the academy. While many have seen great hope and
potential in this work, not everyone has agreed. Some, for instance,
have examined the conversation and found by focusing on the concrete
and lived experiences of humanity, by and large, practical theology
has not had the theological vision to present frameworks for
understanding concrete and lived experience with divine action. So
argues Andrew Root, who in Christopraxis seeks to reset the entire
edifice of practical theology on a new foundation. While not
minimizing practical theology’s commitment to the lived and
concrete, Root argues that practical theology has neglected deeper
theological underpinnings, and seeks to create a practical theology
that seeks to be fully post-postmodern, post-Aristotelian, and that in
seeking to attend to doctrines such as divine action and
justification, is properly and fully theological.
