Week 6-Bevans, Chapter 6 (The Praxis Model)

I love how Philip Berryman referred to the word "praxis by Paulo Freire as, praxis is "action with reflection." Also it is reflected-upon action and acted-upon reflection. In contextual theology and living in society, praxis and the praxis model must be used not only in reflective meanings, but taken further into action. Knowledge and academics are good, but what good are they if one can't put them into practice? In whatever context we are in, the praxis model gives us the opportunity to seek truth with knowledge to put into action, because as a follower of Christ who lives by faith in God, my faith is still without action. Further, I think God calls us to action in our lives and so the praxis model brings us to the understanding to have faith, but take it a step further and live a contagious life for God with God by faith.
