Out of the Ivory Tower and into the Play Room: A Case of Being Parents in God’s Household

This article seeks to demonstrate how the church can rediscover the task of doing theology for the life of the church. Taking a critical reflection on the bifurcation of theology and the consequential anthropocentric tendencies of theologizing as a point of departure, it proceeds to engage in a constructive theology of being parents as a case study, demonstrating how every theological endeavor should proceed from the Triune God and for the life of God’s household. Then the article explicates how this theocentric theology may be employed to serve Christian families in God’s household.
