ReviewsI particularly appreciate O'Neill's insistence on asking the right interrogatory questions during the Theological Reflection process, and honing them until they evoke the sort of response that will deliver ever more depth, insight and therefore action in daily Christian living. Whether a newcomer to the skills, or an old hand at the process of Theological Reflection, O'Neill's approach invites us to take time to draw deeply from the Four Sources of Tradition, Culture, Action and Position in a way that will challenge and enrich individuals and groups alike. Shercliff's drawing on her own extensive preaching and teaching experience illustrate the richness of the fresh approach outlined in "Straw for Bricks". This is a book as much for EFM 'junkies' like me, as for those looking for something that will add value to the skills and techniques of sermon preparation, small group leading, and anyone attempting to drill more deeply into biblical texts and themes in a way that speaks into today's world and society., This book is a useful contribution to the field of Practical Theology, informed by the authors' extensive experience of enabling people to engage with the transformative potential of theological reflection. It advocates for a conversational, four-source method and gives detailed guidance on how to use the model within the context of group reflections. Especially helpful are the discussions of how the method can inform biblical studies, preaching and reflective practice, and will be of relevance both for ministers-in-training and established ministerial practitioners.
