Fundamental Theology and Youth Ministry in Conversation
Keywords:
Christianity; Theology; Fundamental Theology; Youth Ministry; Practical Theology; Holistic TheologyAbstract
This article attempts to sketch possibilities for encounter between fundamental theology and youth ministry understood as practical theology. It argues that both specific disciplines may enter into mutually fruitful dialogue when they will open their respective disciplinal identities in terms of seeing their own theological task in a more holistic way. Endeavouring a holistic theology makes theology a more organic, welcoming, and hospitable place. This could become an argument for including the theological voices of young people into serious consideration as well.
