“Our God is a God of surprises... Am I open to the God of surprises?”-Pope Francis, 2014
Responding to this challenge, Surprised by God explores what it means to reflect on life and how we reflect theologically about our journey of faith.Theological reflection has been primarily used in academic training for ministry preparation, but it is a tool that is critical for any person pondering Pope Francis’ questions.
Christina Zaker provides an in depth look at the foundational elements of theological reflection including definitions and guidance through various methods. Offering a lens for reflection based on the unique way Jesus’ parables surprise and invite listeners to collaborate in the kingdom of God, the book foregrounds the importance of honest spiritual reflection.
Reveling in the many ways God surprises us, we learn how to respond to the invitation of faith with open minds and hearts.
