The Expository Time

著名的蘇格蘭期刊The Expository Time於2010 Oct. Vol. 122(1)起，預計「連載」十一篇介紹當代神學（Contemporary Theology）的入門專文，以及一篇反思結論。

介紹文章為：〈當代神學的趨勢與走向：一個導介〉（Trends and Dicections in Contemporary Theology: An Introduction），由Dr. John Riches所撰。這一系列專文的目的是：

what are the key sources of insight and understanding for such theologians; what is their understanding and use of the Bible; are there key events, experiences, contexts which have influenced the direction of any given group; which theologians and which non-theologians (philosophers, anthropologists, literary theorists, sociologists) have been most influential for them? [p.3]

因此，其旨不在為某一特定神學立場辯論或證成，或是長篇大論地侃侃而談，而是簡單地勾勒一幅遠觀的圖畫，好讓我這樣的門外漢有機會一窺當代神學的樣貌（此誠乃福音是也！）。自Number 1-3已經刊載了三篇專文：

• 〈自由神學〉（Liberal Theology, by P. C. Hodgson）；

• 〈多元神學（們）〉（Puralist Theologies, by P. Schmidt-Leukel）；

• 〈後自由詮釋學：敘事、群體和聖經的意義〉（Postliberal Hermeneutics: Narrative, Community, and the Meaning of Scripture, by K. W. Hector）。
