All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT IMAGINING PLANETARITY: TOWARD A POSTCOLONIAL FRANCISCAN THEOLOGY OF CREATION Daniel P. Horan, O.F.M. Advisor: Brian D. Robinette, Ph.D. The proliferation in recent decades of “stewardship model” approaches for developing a theology of creation, which places human beings at the center of the cosmos as caretakers or managers of the divine oikos, is the result of an intentional effort to correct overtly problematic “dominion model” approaches that have contributed both to reifying a sense of human sovereignty and the resulting environmental degradation. However, the first part of this dissertation argues that the stewardship model of creation actually operates under many of the same problematic presuppositions as the dominion model, and therefore does not offer a correction but rather a tacit re-inscription of the very same pitfalls. After close consideration and analysis of the stewardship model, this dissertation identifies scriptural, theological, and philosophical sources to support the adoption of a “kinship” or “community of creation” model.

It arises from the problematic posed by Henri de Lubac. De Lubac sought to recover a mode of theology that he called “symbolism,” a patristic mode of thought that assumed a real unity-in-distinction between symbolized and symbol, sustaining a thoroughly sacramental vision.

  • Keeping the Command: Karl Barth's Moral Theology in Dialogue With
    Keeping the Command: Karl Barth’s Moral Theology in Dialogue with Late Medieval Scholasticism by James Andrew Edwards A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by James Andrew Edwards 2016 Keeping the Command: Karl Barth’s Moral Theology in Dialogue with Late Medieval Scholasticism James Andrew Edwards Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2016 Abstract Due to its dogged persistence in using the language of “divine command,” Karl Barth’s moral theology has, until recent years, been accused of being overly “voluntarist.” Recent scholars of Barth’s work, however, have attempted to exonerate his work, often by way of positive comparisons with the moral theology of Thomas Aquinas. Both perspectives, however, are inaccurate. Defenders and critics of Barth’s moral theology ignore the historical particularities of the voluntarist tradition of moral enquiry and thereby miss the positive contribution that it makes. Scholars interested in upholding Barth’s honor, therefore, need not presume that “voluntarism” is an a priori condemnation. The present thesis examines the voluntarist tradition of moral enquiry both in its late medieval scholastic and Barthian articulations. A shared “grammar” of divine command both “from above” and “from below” is demonstrated to exist in the moral theologies of John Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, and Karl Barth. Theological voluntarism “from above” is explored vis-à-vis the dialectic of divine omnipotence, in which God’s absolute power and possibility is consistently balanced with an equally absolute divine constancy.

  • The Primacy of Christ: a Theological Foundation a Thesis Submitted To
    The Primacy of Christ: A Theological Foundation A thesis submitted to the faculty of the Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Theology By Eric Wood Cincinnati, Ohio April, 2015 Abstract One of the questions that Catholic theologians have debated for centuries pertains to the true meaning behind St. Paul’s statement, “that in all things, he [Christ] may have the first place [primacy]” (Colossians 1:18). The beginning stages of the debate presented it as a counter-factual claim concerning whether the God-man would have come had Adam and Eve not sinned. One position suggested that the Incarnation was directed toward redemption and gave a negative answer; the opposing position stated that Christ’s primacy spoken of by St. Paul was not dependent on anything outside of God’s will, and gave a positive answer. This thesis seeks to examine the work of the major contributors to both sides of the debate, starting with St. Anselm’s Cur Deus Homo and closing with the work of Bl. John Duns Scotus. In doing this, it will examine in what ways the question developed throughout the Church’s history, what the major contributors to the question truly sought to answer in engaging the question, and why it became such a central and foundational question for the major theologians involved in the debate. What will be seen through this method is that, though the question began as a hypothetical concerning an alternate economy of salvation, theologians like St.
