Week 6--Bevans Chapter 6: The Praxis Model

Since the praxis model relies on an inductive theology where an understanding of God is generated from real life struggles and human actions, it seems quite compatible with the anthropological model. The anthropological model likewise takes seriously the mode of human experience as revelatory about God. Similarly, both models presuppose a “theological structure to throw light on and examine” issues that emerge from human experience, whether it be termed as culture (anthropological model) or actions/struggles (praxis model). I think both of these approaches, each with their unique emphases, should be followed by the Church in its engagement with culture.
