relationship

I’ve been working on a paper called “An Evangelical Relational Theology: A Personal Relationship with God As Theological Leitmotif” where I begin to outline a theology based on the frame work of a personal relationship with God.

I just finished reading through the rather extensive thread “What does it mean to be saved” and I thought that it might not be a bad idea to revisit this theme, this time in the context of a relational theology.

I’m very interested in hearing some voices on the matter of relational development.  Much is being made about the need for relational ministry in the emerging church, and there are some phenomenal methodological advances being made in the field.

What I am concerned about is the theology behind these relational developments.  It appears that most of the development in this area is sociological rather than theological and the Bible is being used to justify methods rather than being the epistemological source.

Has anyone seen a developed theology of relationship?
