Week 6- Bevans Chapter 6

Bevans identifies the praxis model of contextual theology as any theological framework which emphasizes social action and transformative change. The praxis model can be summarized quite succinctly as action-reflection on action- and re-action (based on a new understanding of traditional authority and a trial-and-error approach toward social action). Bevans identifies Liberation theology as only one example of the praxis approach. While I had never thought of it before, Bevans is right to understand the praxis model as inclusive of almost any theology that states up front an agenda of social transformation.
