Hay que tener una actitud de enfado para ser teólogo? No. Dice Ronni Kurtz en su libro La teología fructífera Cuando un cristiano contempla a Dios y todas las cosas en relación con Dios, o sea, hace teología, será transformado a la semejanza de Cristo, y esto le conduce al fruto espiritual. En otras palabras, la teología cristiana debe conducir al fruto del espíritu: amor, gozo, paz, paciencia, benignidad, bondad, fe, mansedumbre y templanza (Gálatas 5:22), no a la ira y a degradar a los demás . Por qué se enfurecen los teólogos? Incluso un simple vistazo a las redes sociales puede llevarnos a la conclusión de que tenemos que estar enfadados para hacer teología. Lo lamentable es que nuestros días se caracterizan por las peleas teológicas, llenas de palabras duras, exageraciones, sarcasmo mordaz y el espíritu de derribar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo. Sin embargo, no tiene que ser de esta manera. Es más, no debería ser así. En La teología fructífera, Ronni Kurtz nada a contracorriente para contrarrestar este problema predominante. En lugar de una teología que conduzca a la ira, la división y la discordia, este libro muestra que la vida de la mente en realidad puede conducir al fruto del Espíritu. La teología fructífera es para cualquiera que: - Desea crecer en la comprensión de las Escrituras, pero teme que el conocimiento le vuelva arrogante - Está confundido acerca de la relación entre la doctrina y la vida cristiana - Le preocupa que la convicción teológica promueva la desunión y la discordia entre los cristianos - Desea crecer en madurez cristiana, pero no está seguro de cómo encaja la teología en ese deseo. Qué sucedería si nuestra forma de hablar y de comportarnos estuviera más sazonada con amor, gozo, paz, paciencia, benignidad, bondad, fidelidad, mansedumbre y dominio propio? Cómo podría restaurarse la unidad de la iglesia y maximizarse nuestro testimonio si nos caracterizáramos por el fruto del Espíritu en lugar del espíritu de nuestra época? Puede que la teología no sea la candidata más obvia para ayudarnos a reorientar nuestra vida hacia el fruto del Espíritu, pero de seguro que una adecuada consideración de Dios nos puede conducir a una vida apropiada para Dios, y eso es con exactitud lo que este libro espera explorar.

Why do the theologians rage?\nEven a cursory scrolling of social media may lead you to the conclusion that you have to be angry to do theology. Sadly, our day is characterized by theological fighting—complete with harsh words, exaggeration, biting sarcasm, and the spirit of tearing down our brothers and sisters in Christ. But it does not have to be this way. In fact, it should not be this way.\nIn Fruitful Theology, Ronni Kurtz swims upstream to counter this prevailing problem. Instead of theology leading to anger, division, and discord, this book shows that the life of the mind can actually lead to the fruit of the Spirit. Fruitful Theology is for anyone who: Wants to grow in an understanding of Scripture, but is afraid that knowledge will make them arrogant; Is confused about the relationship between doctrine and Christian living; Is concerned that theological conviction promotes disunity and discord among Christians; Desires to grow in Christian maturity, but isn’t sure how theology fits into that desire. 
What if our speech and conduct were seasoned more with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? How might the church’s unity be restored, and our witness be maximized, if we were characterized by the fruit of the Spirit instead of the spirit of our age? Theology may not be the most obvious candidate in helping reorient our life towards the fruit of the Spirit, but a right contemplation of God can indeed lead to right living for God, and that is exactly what this book hopes to explore.

How does God's unchanging nature impact the salvation of his people? While divine immutability enjoyed a broad affirmation through much of Christian theological antiquity, it has fallen on harder times in modernity. Seen as a holdover from overly philosophical theology, divine immutability has often been characterized as rendering God static and incapable of having meaningful relationships with his creation. &nbsp; This book aims to swim upstream from this claim and demonstrate that divine immutability does not handicap soteriology but is a necessary and vital component of God's economy of redemption as triune changelessness protects and promotes the redemption of God's creatures. By anchoring the economy of redemption in divine immutability, we see the benefit of rooting all of God's economic work in the immanent life of God. This book aims to be a work of dogmatic theology and therefore will arrive at this thesis by way of exegetical, historical, and philosophical theology. In harmony, these fields will interact with varying deviations and denials of divine immutability and ultimately conclude that a classical articulation of God's changelessness does most justice to the economy of redemption.
