How to Write a Theology of Chocolate: Reflecting on the Christian Faith in the 21st Century

How to Write a Theology of Chocolate teaches theological reflection through the example of writing a theology of chocolate. Beginning with the foundation of how to read the Bible, the characteristics of a good theologian, and tools for Bible study, it provides a method for thinking through topics not directly addressed by the Bible. By using various tools and resources to write a theology of chocolate, the book demonstrates how anyone with patience and persistence can think theologically about the issues presented by 21st-century life.
How to Write a Theology of Chocolate is aimed at ordinary Christians, so it explains theological terms, is written in plain English and provides tools and methods that are simple enough for the layperson to use effectively. Instead of being a theoretical text, it demonstrates how real theological reflection is done. Using the example of a theology of chocolate and a Reader Exercise in every chapter, the reader is encouraged to pursue theological reflection for themselves. By the end of the book, the reader will be able to produce a theology of their own topic. Instead of providing the answer to one question, the book shows how to apply the Bible to any question.
