There has never been one truth, despite what people claim. Theological ideas have waxed and waned through history, taking conflicting turns with changing leaders, worldviews and political forces. This fast-paced, lay-friendly book, backed by serious, inquisitive scholarship, follows this maze, shining a spotlight into dark corners and dusty shelves to observe ideas silenced and others declared eternal. As many people walk away from churches that are unwilling to face the big questions, this book offers readers permission to think for themselves.

Review
''Val Webb has done it again - bringing God-talk out of both the Academy and the Church; and into the everyday. We are all theologians - God is in our midst and we do not need permission to express what that means to us. This is is a book of liberation in that it allows each one of us to 'do our own theology' - to express what we mean by 'God' and not leave it to the ecclesiastical or scholastic authorities to make up our minds for us. Moreover, as Webb argues, theology has always been what ordinary people declare 'from their heart' about someone/something beyond themselves. This is a brave and challenging book that puts God back in the midst of people - where God belongs!''
--Revd Dr Nigel Leaves, Canon of St John's Cathedral, Brisbane, Australia, author of Encountering God (2014), Religion Under Attack (2011) and The God Problem (2006)
''Val Webb invites us into a broad yet comprehensive sweep of much that has influenced the theological landscape for today's 21st century Christian. In doing so Webb both encourages and provokes our thinking about who we are and what we believe. Above all, the book is a call to the lay people of the church to accept responsibility for their own theological explorations and to no longer be shrinking violets in the important matters of informed faith. I encourage the reading of this book to inform, challenge and provoke good conversations and opportunity for lay and ordained to engage and embrace a 'theology that is life transforming'.''
--Rev Dr Jennifer Byrnes, Executive Director of the Centre for Theology and Ministry, Uniting Church in Australia Synod of Victoria-Tasmania. --Wipf and Stock Publishers

“TESTING TRADITION and LIBERATING THEOLOGY: FINDING YOUR OWN VOICE
By Richard C. Smith
Dr Val Webb in her latest book “TESTING TRADITION and LIBERATING THEOLOGY: FINDING YOUR OWN VOICE” argues persuasively for Lay people “doing theology”. This is Dr Webb’s 11th book as a well recognised Lay theologian within the protestant tradition of the Uniting Church.
By putting the study of theology into it historical context, Dr Webb’s book should be mandatory for all contemplating serious theological study. It is comprehensive with chapters covering the definitions and history of theology through the last 2000 years. It is particularly valuable because of its autobiographical thread which covers Dr Webb’s own lay theological journey of discovery from the early certainties of an evangelical faith to the doubts that modernity and post-modernity throws at us. This brings Dr Webb’s book into the heart of contextual theology. Covered are Church, liberation, feminist, process and ecological theologies that emerge out of this approach. Such contextual theology I have found invaluable in sustaining my Christian faith through many difficult situations throughout my personal and professional life.
As the title of the book suggests Dr Webb does not avoid the challenges facing the Church in constructing a syllabus for “lay theological education” that balances the claims of supernatural versus natural revelation. In particular, the view of ordination that developed in church history but was challenged by the Reformation where the passing of the apostolic succession by the laying on of hands granted a special privilege. A privilege which often consigned the Laity to second class status in theological discourse.
For example Dr Webb states that “- it always amazes people to discover that neither “Fall” nor “Sin” is mentioned in the Genesis story of Adam and Eve” (Page 170), as the Church’s doctrine of “Original Sin” arises out of St Augustine’s contextual theologising of his struggles with his youthful sexual misadventures. The surprise comes when one discovers that the first biblical reference to “Sin” actually comes when God warns Cain: “ …. Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." (Genesis 4:7b). Cain does not resist, murders his brother and in the subsequent narrative, Sin is defined as not just violence but “escalatory violence”. This I find a more useful and biblically based theology for the global human and ecological violence that confronts us today.

Theology - a task for everybody
By Amazon Customer
I found this book very helpful in understanding (and justifying!) my own religious journey. It also has a wealth of information that is very clearly explained.
Val Webb speaks directly to the readers in "Testing Tradition", calling us to work out our own theology. I just hope that your book will be read by the unconvinced outside the current progressive Christian audience. I learned a lot about how what is said to be what the church believes/teaches is, in fact, either quite recent or just a swing of the pendulum back to an earlier emphasis. You made some arcane theological disputes very clear - I had not seen before how the concept of the trinity came from the need for an efficacious Eucharist, coupled with Greek dualistic views. Your talk of the growth of clericalism and the deligitimisation of the laity from any theological role was very clear and powerful. It certainly lines up with my recent (and failed) experience in the local church.

By Thoburn F Thompson
In a time of increasing polarity in religious and political life, Val Webb's "Testing Tradition and Liberating Theology" is a gentle but persuasive aid for us who are questioning doctrine and power systems. Her chapter progression and generous use of meaty quotations from all ages is excellent. I especially found her call for 'theological hospitality' challenging The book is ready for use as a study guide or book review. She calls for 'doing theology', which invites lay persons to examine personally, or in a group that listens to one another, the many theologies beyond a dominant christian one, therefore liberating theology, as in the title. The context of experience (as also tradition, scripture, and reason) leads the reader to "do theology". Clergy should welcome, review and share this readable book with their peers and engage lay persons who are uncomfortable in an atmosphere of rigid traditions. A book to share!!
