In The Practice of Catholic Theology: A Modest Proposal, Paul J. Griffiths has written a how-to booklet for Catholic theologians that will both instruct beginners and test long-time practitioners to sharpen their understanding of their build. He identifies Catholic theology as the practice of considering, speaking, and authoring the God of Religious confession; so realized, it's something that anyone can figure out how to do. Personal sanctity is not required, but much like another practice, practitioners of this beautiful and enhanced thought-performance need to find out some things and to develop some skills in order to be able to perform it. This booklet lays out, clearly and at length, the particular relevant body of knowledge is and where to find usage of it; it does that by describing the "Catholic archive" in all its variety (scriptural, conciliar, magisterial broadly and narrowly, liturgical, canon-legal, speculative), and by inspecting the authoritative weight of the many the different parts of the archive. It shows the difference between dogmatic and speculative theology, both by example and examination. It also offers detailed education in the development of the theologian's particular skills: argument, synthesis, intellectual thoughts, thought-experiment, exegesis, and so on. And it identifies, with particular suggestions, the essential the different parts of the theologian's working collection, and how they ought to be used.
