"How to Read Theology for All Its Worth provides an excellent guide to the often confusing landscape of theology. Karin Stetina writes with energy and clarity, drawing on her extensive knowledge of major theologians and philosophers. Her quick-paced prose, coupled with effective illustrations, will benefit both the pastor and student who desire to know God and themselves better."
"Karin Stetina’s latest work equips readers of theology with useful and effective approaches for becoming discerning readers without leaving faith convictions at the door. This insightful and accessible book will surely become a staple for theology students who value sound method in the development of their work."
"I know of no other book that focuses on the specific range of prolegomena to theology like this one does. I wish I would have had this book available before I went to seminary. Laypeople and students alike will learn how to be discerning readers in theology if they read How to Read Theology for All Its Worth. I highly recommend it."
"Reading theology today can be a daunting task, with no clear road signs to direct us or warnings about whom and what to avoid. This book is precisely what the Christian world has needed—a wise, fair-minded, objective handbook on what questions to ask when reading theology. I have a strong sense that this extremely helpful work will be the standard reference guide for years to come."
This work arises out of my own need as a Christian, a student of theology, and a professor of theology for nearly 20 years for guidance in how to read theology well. In this book, I want to help equip both students and teachers with the tools to have valuable theological conversations with theological texts. The goal of this book is to train readers in the art of reading theology for all its worth. With the proper tools, readers can approach theological texts with confidence and intentionality, learning to find worthy dialogue partners who can assist them in knowing God and knowing themselves better.
