Review Summary: The Art of Theological Reflection Date: 2008-10-30
 
Details: This book has been an incredibly helpful basis for our group to do theological reflection. Nine of us gather every other week to meet and reflect on our lives and Killen and de Beer provide the structure for such meetings. This is not pop psychology, but a practical way to do theology. If you are looking to know more about God's relation to your life and to the lives of others in your group, this book has the perfect guidelines to follow.
 
Review Summary: Only an average treatment of the topic Date: 2008-09-17
 
Details: While this book begins well by pointing out the importance of theological reflection, it does not follow through with a substantive discussion. The methods and examples given are not especially thought-provoking. The style of writing is occasionally stilted and the content often seems contrived. Further, the book is neither thorough nor concise. While there are some good points to be gleaned here, I would point someone to Stone and Duke's "How to Think Theologically" instead.
 
Review Summary: a great disappointment Date: 2007-09-08
 
Details: This text reads like a theological version of a 70s pop psychology self-help book. With all of the richness that might have been explored, the text is trite and even a bit condescending. I was required to buy this for a grad course...and was shocked to find the vocabulary and the notions altogether fit for a junior high school exploration of the topic. Look elsewhere.
 
Review Summary: This book has provided an excellent foundation for students Date: 1998-07-06
 
Details: I have used The Art of Theological Reflection with both graduate and undergraduate students in theology seminars. It has provided them with a method for engaging theological questions and readings out of their own experience of life and of the Christian tradition - however extensive that experience might be. The authors give examples throughout the text that effectively clarify the porocess they are describing. They also make a convincing argument that theological reflection is not just for a few "initiated" but builds on a natural human quest for insight into the meaning of life experiences and for ways to integrate those insights into our lives.
