Fundamental theology: The continuing debate

Abstract

This article begins by taking up various questions raised by those who reviewed G. O’Collins, Rethinking Fundamental Theology: Toward a New Fundamental Theology (Oxford University Press, 2011). It then retrieves some valuable literature that concerns fundamental theology and that has recently appeared in such areas as natural signs of the existence of God and the theology of religions. Finally, it shows how the book could be developed further in the sectors of apologetics, the genesis of faith, and tradition as collective memory.
