This book provides an accessible guide to the key issue of relating belief and practice, offering a step-by-step introduction to theological reflection, its evolutionary roots in liberation theology, and how to go about it. 

Readers are invited to explore a variety of methods and choose an approach that suits them and their situation.  The emphasis is practical throughout, providing a ‘toolkit’ and many lived examples. 

Making connections with prayer, the Bible, psychology, theology and ethics, the book shows how theological reflection can transform decision-making and action in personal spirituality, in ministry, and in the institutions in which we work, stimulating new connections between faith and life.

The Rev. Judith Thompson is Director of Pastoral Studies at St Michaels College, Cardiff.
