Above, Within Or Ahead Of? Pannenberg's Eschatologicalism As a Replacement for Supernaturalism
Above, Within or Ahead Of? Pannenberg' s Eschatologicalism as a Replacement for Supernaturalism LAURENCE W. WOOD Supernaturalism became the philosophical assumption of Christian the- ology during the thirteenth century A.O. The term supernatural was specifi- cally developed and widely used by Thomas Aquinas and the Scholastics as a technical term to describe God as eternally, self-subsistent and hence dif- ferent in essence from the created, natural order. The term lost its technical meaning as it was more generally used outside the classroom and it eventu- ally became more popularly understood to designate something as beyond the normal.1 Because of this secondary meaning, some prefer to use the term supra-natural instead of super-natural since supra more precisely con- veys the original, technical meaning of "above."2 The Latin term supernaturalis first appeared in the ninth century. John Scotus Erigena used it in his translation of the works of pseudo-Dionysius from Greek into Latin. He coined this Latin term as a translation for the Greek adjective huperphues. The prefix huper (beyond) was used in inference to phusis (the nature or essence of reality) to denote something as transcend- ing the ordinary, visible world.3 Thomas Aquinas featured this term promi- nently and is largely responsible for its widespread technical use in Chris- tian theology.4 If Augustine is credited with providing the standardization of the vari- ous Christian doctrines for Western Christianity in the fourth century A.o.,5 Laurence W Wood is Frank Paul Morris Professor of Systematic Theology at Asbury Theological Seminary.

Schleiermacher and Bonhoeffer As Negative Theologians: a Western Response to Some Eastern Challenges
Schleiermacher and Bonhoeffer as negative theologians: a Western response to some Eastern challenges Alexander S Jensen When I was at university, a Greek Orthodox friend used to tell me about the many errors of the West and about the way in which the Easterners got it right. ‘You in the West, you got it all wrong because Augustine did not speak Greek,’ he used to say. According to him, the root of our Western errors is a Dr Alexander Jensen is Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology at Murdoch University, Perth, and Principal of Perth Theological Hall. St Mark’s Review, No. 215 February 2011 (1) wrong doctrine of the Trinity, which we developed because Augustine did not understand the difference between ousia and hypostasis.1 A second reason why our Western theology went so badly astray, I was informed, was that we do not understand apophaticism properly. In the East, they know how to distinguish between apophatic or negative theology on the one hand and kataphatic or positive theology on the other, while we in the West muddled it all up when Thomas Aquinas suggested a middle way between them in the form of analogical language in relation to God. It is this second point on which I concentrate in this paper. I do this not only because my Greek friend kept making this point, but also because this comment about Western theology is widespread in Eastern Orthodox literature. We can see this expressed, for example, in the work of Vladimir Lossky and Christos Yannaras.2 In this paper, I present two different Eastern Orthodox understandings of apophaticism, as represented by the theologies of Vladimir Lossky and Christos Yannaras. -
The Triumph of the Irrational in Postenlightenment Theology
Andrews University Seminaly Studies, Spring 1999, Vol. 37, No. 1, 5-22 Copyright 1999 by Andrews University Press. THE TRIUMPH OF THE IRRATIONAL IN POSTENLIGHTENMENT THEOLOGY PAULFISHER Tunkhannock, PA 18657 This essay advances the idea that a dualism between faith and reason has come to characterize the postenlightenment theological enterprise.' This severance of faith and rationality is rooted in philosophical and not biblical modes of thought.2The result of this dualism is the triumph of the irrational in the interpretation of religious symbols. It would appear that the rigid confinement of faith and reason to autonomous spheres of operation leads to the ascendance of nonhistorical, non~once~tual, nonpsychological, and nonrational interpretations of biblical concepts.) Historical Development of Dualism in Knowledge The interplay of rationality and irrationality in the realm of religion has been analyzed by the conservative Christian apologist Francis Schaeffer. In his Escapefrom Reason, Schaeffer traced the development of a dualism between faith and rationality beginning with Saint Thomas 'The term postenlightenment is used to include both modern and postmodern theological developments. Schleiermacher, Bultmann, Barth, and Tillich are representative of the modern viewpoint; Lindbeck is representative of the postmodern camp. Gerhard Hasel, in a summary of the objections to historical criticism raised by E. Krentz, says, "Faith and the historical-critical method have ddfering means of determining reality. Thus, acceptance of historical criticism leads the Christian into intellectualdualism and forces him to live in two worlds that clash" (Biblicallntqretation Today [Washington,DC: Review and Herald, 1985],82); see also Wolfhart Pannenberg, "Faith and Reason," in Basic Questions in lleology (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1971), 47. -

Current Theology
CURRENT THEOLOGY CURRENT ACCENTS IN LUTHER STUDY: 1960-67 In 1521, the year in which Luther made his stand at Worms in what the Whiggish English historian James Froude has described as "perhaps the finest scene in human history," Luther exclaimed: "We have become the spectacle of the world!" Four and a half centuries later Luther is once again in front and center as the Church reconsiders its past with an eye toward the future. "The historian," quipped the philosopher A. W. Schlegel, "is a prophet looking backward." In the eighteenth century J. G. Hamann, the magus of the North, could lament (1759) : "What a shame for our times that the spirit of this man [Luther] who founded our church lies thus under the ashes. What a power of eloquence, what a spirit for interpretation, what a prophet I How good the old wine will taste to you!" A hundred years later Theodosius Harnack declared the renewed study of Luther's theology to be one of the joyous developments in theological scholarship, although his own two-volume work (1862) remained almost a unique effort in the dismal nine teenth century. With the renaissance of Reformation studies in the twentieth century, Luther literature has reached mountainous proportions, so that one American scholar has estimated that more has been written about Luther than about any other person in history with the exception of Christ. The fifty years between the Reformation celebrations in 1917 and the year 1967 have not only witnessed an increase in volume but also the emerg ence of many new lines of inquiry in Luther study. -
INTRODUCTION 1.1. Doctrina Stantis Et Cadentis Ecclesiae These Words of Wolfhart Pannenberg Naturally Shock the Churches, Which
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1. Doctrina stantis et cadentis ecclesiae In the evangelical theology, there’s no consensus on the speciality and meaning concerning the doctrine of justifi cation. There is no single evan- gelical doctrine of justifi cation, much less one single Lutheran doctrine of justifi cation. There are at least a dozen of them.1 These words of Wolfhart Pannenberg naturally shock the churches, which have treasured the doctrine of justifi cation as their most pre- cious jewel. Pannenberg uttered this after the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justifi cation ( JDDJ, 1999), which established agreement between the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church on central Soteriological themes. According to Pannenberg, the convoluted history of Lutheranism has produced a number of different interpretations of justifi cation.2 Generally, the doctrine of justifi cation has been the core of all Lutheran theology. Martin Luther (1483–1546) teaches in his Schmal- kaldic Articles (SA) that: “On this article stands all that we teach and practice against the pope, the devil, and the world. Therefore we must be quite certain and have no doubt about it. Otherwise everything is lost, and the pope and the devil and whatever opposes us will gain vic- tory and be proved right.”3 In the Apology of the Augsburg Confession (Apologia Confessionis Augustanae, AC) Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560) calls the doctrine of justifi cation “the most important topic of Christian teaching.”4 The same emphasis is apparent in the texts of the other 1 Wolfhart Pannenberg, Hintergründe des Streites um die Rechtfertigungslehre in der evan- gelischen Theologie (München: Verlag der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften 2000), p. -
German Churches and the Holocaust Assessing the Argument for Complicity
The Raul Hilberg Memorial Lecture The University of Vermont April 15, 2013 German Churches and the Holocaust Assessing the Argument for Complicity Robert P. Ericksen Kurt Mayer Chair in Holocaust Studies Pacific Lutheran University The Carolyn and Leonard Miller Center for Holocaust Studies GERMAN CHURCHES AND THE HOLOCAUST ASSESSING THE ARGUMENT FOR COMPLICITY The Raul Hilberg Memorial Lecture University of Vermont April 15, 2013 Robert P. Ericksen Kurt Mayer Chair in Holocaust Studies Pacific Lutheran University I am pleased to deliver the Raul Hilberg Memorial Lecture, not only for the chance to join the impressive list of prior speakers, but because of Raul Hilberg himself. He was the man who essentially invented Holocaust Studies, completing his path-breaking work while teaching here at the University of Vermont. When Hilberg began his graduate program in political science at Columbia University, he was twenty-two years old. At that time, in 1948, he focused already on the idea and the research project that would make him known to all of us. Here is his description of that moment in his 1996 book, Politics of Memory: "I had become sure of myself, secure in my decision, certain that I would fill in the pieces of my jigsaw puzzle."1 He soon approached one of his professors at Columbia, Franz Neumann, the author of Behemoth and an imposing scholar on Nazi Germany.2 Hilberg asked Neumann if he would take on his proposal for a doctoral dissertation, "The Destruction of the European Jews." Neumann said yes, but he then added the comment, "It's your funeral."3 This exchange took place just three years after the defeat of Hitler's Germany and long before Holocaust Studies had begun to make its mark in the world of ideas.
