Abstract
Christian beliefs are deeply implicated in “real” life. Practical theologians attempt to interpret time and situation and to search for the meaning of life in the light of Christian beliefs. Theology is interpretive, and such interpretive activity is practical in nature. For the purpose of providing meaningful interpretation on “the living human texts” situated in complex contexts and meeting their fundamental needs of existence, importance of conversation with other academic domains is more and more elevated in practical theology. While engaging in rational communication with other academic fields, practical theologians need to attentively articulate the models and methods of cross disciplinary dialogue. In this article, we will review four types of traditional approaches to the relationship between theology and science, and then three models of cross-disciplinary dialogue: correlational, transformational, and transversal.
