Inhaltsangabe

Heather Walton's highly imaginative approach to theological thinking has led to significant developments in the field of autoethnography, creative writing within theology and theology through creative practice. Her theological work is rooted in deep engagement with lived experience. Over her thirty years in the University of Glasgow she has been a leading figure in the fields of literature, theology and the arts, practical theology, and most recently theology through creative practice. The chapters in this book reflect the remarkable range of her teaching and writing, her gift for new discoveries in religious reflection and her brave and deep humanity in the face of our present chaos in the world. Colleagues and former students celebrate and engage with her work through reflections, poetry, and chapters about practical theology, ecology, theopoetics, feminist theology and postcolonial literature.
