The Nature and Function of Divine Agency in the Theology of John Milbank. The dissertation argues that in the process of attempting to synthesize secular postmodernist theory with Christian Neo-Platonism, John Milbank blurs the distinction between divine and human agency and Christology and Ecclesiology. This results, I argue, in the unfortunate loss of a critical principle to ensure that the church remains the community that waits upon God’s Word, rather than a community that attempts to manipulate and control it for its own ends.

  • ''Theologians Engaging Trauma'' Transcript
    Article Theology Today 68(3) 224–237 ! The Author(s) 2011 ‘‘Theologians engaging Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav trauma’’ transcript DOI: 10.1177/0040573611416539 ttj.sagepub.com Shelly Rambo Boston University School of Theology Abstract The following is a panel discussion between four theologians about their recent theo- logical work at the intersection of trauma and Christian theology. This conversation highlights the ways in which current (or recent) studies in trauma have impacted and reshaped the classic questions of Christian faith: Where is God in the suffering? Does God will suffering? Keywords trauma, theology, suffering, feminist/womanist, panel Where is God in suffering? Is suffering willed by God? Although theologians have always grappled with questions of human suffering, the rise of trauma studies in the last decades of the twentieth century has impacted theological work. These theo- logical engagements have expanded the classical questions of theodicy in order to take into account the historical particularities of suffering, the planetary and non- anthropocentric dimensions of suffering, as well as the radically interdisciplinary research taking place in fields such as neuroscience and literature. On February 28, 2011, four theologians gathered to discuss their recent theo- logical work. Serene Jones’s Trauma and Grace and Shelly Rambo’s Spirit and Trauma directly position themselves at the intersection of trauma and Christian theology. M. Shawn Copeland’s Enfleshing Freedom and Mayra Rivera Rivera’s The Touch of Transcendence engage, more broadly, themes of suffering. SR—We gather tonight for a conversation between scholars who are addressing the issues that matter most to persons of faith—theological responses to suffering.

What I didn’t expect to find was insight into an unrelenting violence in this country that is often overlooked and ignored in our society—a violence that was not overlooked by Serene Jones. This violence has impacted a body of people across generations—namely, black people. It is the violence of white supremacy, which Jones describes as “the entrenched horror of state violence against black bodies.” White supremacy rests on the notion that white people are intrinsically better than nonwhite persons, while those who are nonwhite are innately inferior beings—in some instances closer to beasts than humans.

Date: December 2015 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Opsomming van proefskrif (Afrikaans) Die vraag na die aard en vorme van menslike geluk is tans aan die orde in ‘n verskeidenheid van akademiese dissiplines. ‘n Opbloei in gelukstudies gaan gepaard met ‘n ondersoek na die retoriek van geluk. Teoloë benader hierdie ondersoek vanuit ‘n verskeidenheid van uitgangspunte, maar daar blyk ‘n doelbewuste skuif te wees vanaf die retoriek van geluk na die retoriek van menslike florering. Die intuïtiewe tuiste van so ‘n ondersoek is die soteriologie, met die verlossingsleer se fokus op die goeie nuus van die evangelie. Derhalwe benader hierdie studie ook die ondersoek na geluk vanuit die landskap van verlossing, by wyse van teologiese karteerwerk, en word drie kontemporêre diskoerse daarin geïdentifiseer. ‘n Eerste diskoers beeld verlossing as versoening uit, en het daarmee hoofsaaklik ‘n forensiese interpretasie voor oë. Johannes Calvyn, Friedrich Schleiermacher, en Willie Jonker word as drie invloedryke van hierdie diskoers voorgehou.
