Jacket Description/Back: The late Frederick Herzog, long-time professor of systematic theology at Duke Divinity School, frequently challenged his peers to expand the boundaries of the field by doing theology "from the belly of the whale." In brief, he never stopped reminding the church and theologians that they should listen to those who had been left out of their influential ranks: the marginalized, African Americans, Native Americans, women, and the poorest of the poor in Latin America. This reminder is the thread that holds together Herzog's work, made available here for the first time in a single volume. Brief Description: Herzog's works, brought together in a single volume for the first time, remind the church and theology to listen to the marginalized who had been left out of their influential ranks
