What is theology, and how can it still speak with meaning today? This book is both a personal and scholarly journey into fundamental theology, reimagined through dialogue with youth ministry and the lived experiences of young people. It reflects on faith not as a closed system of doctrines but as a dynamic story--an auto/Theo-biography--where human lives and God's presence intertwine. Drawing on Central European contexts, encounters with students, and the wisdom of internationally renowned mentors, the author explores how theology can be communicated in a secular yet spiritually searching culture. Here theology is not reserved for specialists but opens into conversation with everyday life, culture, and future generations. Challenging the boundaries between theory and practice, this book calls for a theology that is understandable, existentially relevant, and rooted in stories of faith, hope, and love. At once deeply autobiographical and widely dialogical, it shows how fundamental theology can meet youth ministry and youth theology to inspire renewal, mutual learning, and a rediscovery of God in surprising places.

Reviews for From the Well of Life, Nobody Can Drink Alone

""Well researched and full of fresh insights, this book presents an innovative approach to the discipline of theology blending speculative, ministerial, and autobiographical methods. It is effective in showing why theology still matters."" --Martin Madar, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Xavier University, USA ""A truly living theology that grows not only from the study and reflection of selected teachers but also from concrete life experiences, interpreted through Scripture as the living and present Word, and joyfully shares the gifts entrusted to it with every reader who loves authentic human stories."" --Zuzana Svobodová, Assistant Professor in Philosophy of Education and Philosophical Ethics, Charles University, Czech Republic ""Increasing numbers of young people across the world find it difficult labelling themselves as Christian for varying reasons. This book names many of these reasons! I love the vulnerability and transparency of the author's approach to theology. I encourage all youth workers, ministers, theologians, and young people themselves to read this. Thank you, dear colleague!"" --Shantelle Weber, Professor of Theology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
