Praxeo-Theologie

This essay aims at examining central topics of Christian theology from a praxeological perspective. It starts off by exploring the nature of a theological praxeology and its tools to meet both systematic-theological and practical-theological requirements. In a second step, the resulting praxeo-theological framework will be applied to key doctrines and areas of practice: a theology of the Cross, preaching and prayer. The central question is a twofold one: first, whether and to what extent an encyclopaedic praxeo-theology could adequately address the demands of both the practice of faith and the engagement with religion; and second, in which way God's reality might be articulated if developed from those practices in which that very reality is getting concrete.
