Contents:

I Theology Socially Structured; 1 Theology and the Sociology of Knowledge; 2 The Social Determinants of Theology; 3 Determinants in the Churches' Responses to Abortion; 4 Power, Conflict and Inconsistency; 5 Theology: A Social System; II Mission and Social Change; 6 Mission Shaped by Society: York Revisited; III Music Shaping Theology; 7 Music Shaping Christian Identity; 8 Theology Exemplified by Music; Works Cited.

Summary: Theology Shaped by Society argues that theology can be seen as a 'socially constructed reality' that is sometimes dangerously related to power but, at other times, that is a positively engaged discipline taking the risk of being shaped by particular societies and cultures. From this second perspective theology is seen properly as a thoroughly relational discipline, as itself a social system. Gill examines mission shaped by society and maps this in practical terms by examining recent religious trends in York. He also shows how music can imaginatively shape theology and reveal unexpected resonan.
