Week 9- Bevans Chapter 9 (Conclusion)

Stephen Bevans has written his volume out of a conviction that all theology is contextual and out of a conviction that the contemporary theological scene is one that must advocate for pluralism (Bevans 1994: 112).  Bevans thus offers several models, or tools, by which to engage in contextual theology, but he does not expect that any one should be applied universally.  I think the praxis model's emphasis on reflective action will prove to be especially effective for the purposes of my final paper.
