Who today is teaching lay theology? By this we don’t mean how the laity react to the clergy or assume clerical roles to replace the clergy when they are not available but the real theology that applies to their daily lives. The very nature of the laity means that they must deal with earthly things.
It is the laity who are the foot soldiers of the church. They have to live out their Christianity in the family, in business, at play and in fact the whole fabric of their daily lives and their special vocations in the world. Their vocations are just as important, maybe more important, than any others. Where is all this discussed. It is not taught in the schools, the universities or theological colleges. Ask in any of the later have they a department of lay theology. This is where 95% of the churches members are !
This book attempts to kick start the laity towards discussion and then action on the things of the world with which they work and which they can use as they share with Jesus Christ in the work of his redemption.
