  • Capper 1998 Phd Karl Barth's Theology Of
    Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper Selwyn College Submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy University of Cambridge April 1998 Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper, Selwyn College Cambridge, April 1998 Joy is a recurrent theme in the Church Dogmatics of Karl Barth but it is one which is under-explored. In order to ascertain reasons for this lack, the work of six scholars is explored with regard to the theme of joy, employing the useful though limited “motifs” suggested by Hunsinger. That the revelation of God has a trinitarian framework, as demonstrated by Barth in CD I, and that God as Trinity is joyful, helps to explain Barth’s understanding of theology as a “joyful science”. By close attention to Barth’s treatment of the perfections of God (CD II.1), the link which Barth makes with glory and eternity is explored, noting the far-reaching sweep which joy is allowed by contrast with the related theme of beauty. Divine joy is discerned as the response to glory in the inner life of the Trinity, and as such is the quality of God being truly Godself. Joy is seen to be “more than a perfection” and is basic to God’s self-revelation and human response. A dialogue with Jonathan Edwards challenges Barth’s restricted use of beauty in his theology, and highlights the innovation Barth makes by including election in his doctrine of God. In the context of Barth’s anthropology, paying close attention to his treatment of “being in encounter” (CD III.2), there is an examination of the significance of gladness as the response to divine glory in the life of humanity, and as the crowning of full and free humanness.

  • B50FF03 Introduction to Contextual Theology
    B50FF03 Introduction to Contextual Theology Bachelor of Divinity Degree Pacific Theological College Semester 1A, 2018 Course Lecturer: Dr Richard Davis, [email protected] Course Description This course aims to provide students with an introduction to the study and practice of theology. It will look at what theology is, who does theology, where it is done, and for what purpose. The traditional sources of theological reflection, such as the Bible, traditions, experience and reason will be examined. The contextuality of all theologies will be stressed, and the relativity of traditional Western theology will be exposed, and newer approaches to theology will be explored, including liberation theologies of the two-thirds world. Students will be encouraged to bring a Pacific focus to their own work, drawing on various models of contextual theology with a view to identifying, describing and critically analysing the methods that undergird such models. Objectives By the end of the course students should be able to: Be aware of and describe the context in which they do theology Define what theology is and understand the role of the theologian Describe several sources for doing theology Appreciate several different models of doing contextual theology See how key doctrines have been interpreted through contextual methods Method of Teaching A combination of lectures, readings, writing and discussion. Assessment Assessment will be as set out below, with one essay, class participation, and an exam. All assessment must engage with the class materials, readings, and additional scholarly materials (books, journal articles, and generally not online materials). Every effort should be made to write correct English in the essay and exam.

  • Chicago Theological Seminary ALREADY, NOT YET HIS IS A
    A DAM KO TSK O Chicago Theological Seminary ALREADY , NOT YET A review of Jean-Luc Nancy, La Déclosion : Déconstruction du christianisme, 1 . Paris: Galilée, 2005. 248 pp. 30.00 € (paper). ISBN: 2-7186-0668-1. (Translation forthcoming from Fordham University Press.) HIS IS A LONG -PROMISED BOOK . Jean-Luc Nancy’s engagement with T Christianity has been long-standing, both in passing glances and in sustained treatments, perhaps most notably in his essay “Of Divine Places.” 1 More recently, as well, the prospect of a “deconstruction of Christianity” specifically has turned up in passing references—but references that nevertheless show this “deconstruction of Christianity” to be more and more important to his philosophical project as a whole. In Being Singular Plural , for example, one finds a long parenthesis, at the end of which Nancy asserts that “both the summit and the abyss of a deconstruction of Christianity” would be “the dis-location of the West,” 2 a crucial step in his attempt to begin rethinking “being-with” and therefore also subjectivity, mediation, and place. In The Sense of the World , he goes so far as to claim that “sense,” one of the key preoccupations of his work, “can proceed only from a deconstruction of Christianity.” 3 Clearly, then, Nancy has had the basic project of this work in mind for many years. At the same time, however, this book still remains in many respects a promissory note. The fact that more work remains is obvious enough from its designation as a first volume, but this book is not yet what one would expect under such a title.

  • Identity and Difference in Postsecular Theology
    Moody: What’s Missing in the Turn to Paul 212 KATHARINE SARAH MOODY Independent Scholar WHAT’S MISSING IN THE TURN TO PAUL?: IDENTITY AND DIFFERENCE IN POSTSECULAR THEOLOGY Introduction here is more than one spirit of Saint Paul, and more than one way that interpretative communities have attempted to possess his body of work. Like any religious or cultural legacy, ‘Paul’ names a heterogeneous T 1 inheritance from which we must choose and decide. He can be androcentric, misogynistic, sexist, homophobic, and the figure not only of hetero-patriarchy but also of Christian imperialism, supersessionism and anti-Semitism. But he can also be a proto-feminist with a vision of egalitarian life beyond positional identities, oppositional binaries and hierarchical differences, or a political militant who founds a new universalism beyond inessential identitarian distinctions and divisions: “There is no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female, for all are one in Christ” (Gal. 3:28). The turn to Paul has provided several contemporary thinkers with the means to further reflect upon concepts central to their work, and they often deploy Paul as a religious exemplar of their own secular projects, complicating this distinction. Their Pauls, and their Paulinisms, emerge against the backdrop of what Ward Blanton calls the “negotiation or contestation of the received and yet perhaps still malleable borders” between religion and the secular;2 in other words, against the backdrop of postsecularity. Discussions about the postsecular occur within and between a variety of humanities and social sciences disciplines, but the location of postsecular discourse at the intersection of theology and philosophy results in what Anthony Paul Smith and Daniel Whistler characterize as the “theologization” of the postsecular – the asymmetrical “contamination” of philosophy by normative theology, mutating into the promise of the postsecular to name the political 1 See Jacques Derrida, Specters of Marx: The State of the Debt, the Work of Mourning and the New International, Peggy Kamuf, trans.
