MINNEAPOLIS – The theology of C. S. Song begins with the conviction that God is at work in our lives and our world, often in ways we hardly perceive. Interrogating our own experience in the light of the Gospel, is for him, the heart of theology. In his latest book, Tracing the Footsteps of God, Professor Song engages perennial and perplexing questions of faith, leading the reader on a journey of exploration tracing the footsteps of God in a religiously plural postmodern world.
The questions are:
• Beginning and End?
• Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?
• Is There Life after Death?
• Healed or Saved?
• Do All Roads Lead to Rome?
• With What Can God's Reign Be Compared?
• Why Church?
• Is Mission Viable?
• Are You "Spiritual"?
• What Do You Say God Is?
Song provides a process for readers to ask themselves: What do I believe? As he says, "What you will find here is a process leading from our daily experiences to our awareness of God in the world internal and external to us. . . . Stories of our life turn out to be stories of God." Tracing the Footsteps of God includes stories and illustrations from around the world.
C. S. Song is Professor of Theology at the Pacific School of Religion and past President of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches. Among his many books in publication is a trilogy from Fortress Press: Jesus, the Crucified People, Jesus and the Reign of God, and Jesus in the Power of the Spirit.
"The work of C.S. Song has done much to bring an Asian perspective to the doing of Christian theology. Against the background of Western theology, Song raises a strong Asian voice calling for ecumenical interfaith answers to the questions that trouble people of religious faith in the twenty-first century." – Naozumi Eto, President, Japan Lutheran Theological Seminary, Professor of Systematic Theology.
