  • Romans: the First Christian Treatise on Theosis
    Journal o f Theological Interpretation 5.1 (2011) 13-34 Romans: The First Christian Treatise on Theosis M ic h a e l J . G o r m a n St. M ary’s Seminary and U niversity Abstract — Building on renewed interest in theosis generally, and par- ticularly with respect to Paul, this essay argues that Romans is the first Christian treatise on theosis, an elaboration of the embryonic passages about theosis, including the “interchange” (Morna Hooker) texts, found in 2 Corinthians. Earlier work on theosis in Paul suggests that it means transformative participation in the kenotic, cruciform character of God through Spirit-enabled conformity to the incarnate, crucified, and resur- rected/glorified Christ. This essay traces Paul’s soteriology of restoring human dikaiosynë and doxa—fundamental elements of theosis—in Ro- mans. For Paul, this restoration is accomplished by participation in the death and resurrection of the obedient and faithful Son. It is manifested in “righteoused,” cruciform communities of Christlike Godlikeness in which Gentiles and Jews glorify God together as a partial and proleptic foreshadowing of the final glory of God and, at least implicitly, as a coun- terpoint to the pseudo-glory of Rome. Key Words — Christosis, cruciformity, glory, image o f God, interchange, partici- pation, Pauline soteriology, Romans, 2 Corinthians, theosis “Christ became what we are—'*adam —in order that we might share in Christ “became like human ״.what he is—namely the true image of God beings, so that we would be like him.” “Christ becomes what we are, that we through his death may become what he is.” These three quotations do not come from the Church Fathers Irenaeus or Athanasius, nor are they modern statements of the Eastern Christian doctrine of salvation.

  • Studies in Scripture for Moral Theologians
    Journal of Moral Theology, Vol. 7, No. 2 (2018): 36-56 Studies in Scripture for Moral Theologians Jeffrey L. Morrow N ITS DECREE ON PRIESTLY TRAINING, Optatam Totius, the Second Vatican Council urged that the “scientific exposition” of moral theology be “nourished more on the teaching of the Bible” I(no. 16). In the decree’s context, this desire emerges from within the broader concern for the study of Scripture serving as “the soul of all theology” (no. 16). Has this been accomplished? Or is there room for improvement? We might pose a further question: What is the relevance of Optatam Totius, no. 16, outside of the seminary context? After all, most Catholic moral theologians teaching in the U.S., as with most Catholic theologians teaching in the U.S., are no longer clergy nor teaching in a seminary. In the U.S., professional Catholic theologians (moral or otherwise) increasingly come from among the laity. Yet, the conviction that Catholic moral theology—and all of Catholic theology for that matter—should be nourished by Scripture transcends the boundaries of seminary education. In fact, it is a notion that predates the Second Vatican Council. Most of the time St. Thomas Aquinas spent teaching was on Scripture, and his biblical commentaries were among his most important works. For St. Thomas, to be a theologian was to be a commentator on the sacred page.1 This was not unique to St. Thomas. In his Breviloquium, St. Bonaventure used “theology” as another term for “Scripture,” and he intended his Breviloquium to be a guide for advancing “through the forest of Sacred Scripture, hacking with an ax and thus laying it open.”2 In his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis exhorts that all Catholics should study Scripture: “The study of the sacred Scriptures must be a door opened to every believer” (no.

  • Biblical Interpretation As a Prophetic Charism in the Church
    Nova et Vetera, English Edition, Vol. 13, No. 1 (2015): 219-240 219 Biblical Interpretation as a Prophetic Charism in the Church Mary Healy Sacred Heart Major Seminary Detroit, MI “THE CRISIS OF FAITH IN CHRIST in modern times began with a modified way of reading sacred Scripture—seemingly the sole sci- entific way.”1 This statement, penned by Joseph Ratzinger two years before he became pope, explains the decisive importance he attributed to a reform of biblical interpretation within the task of renewing the Church at large. A concern for the proper interpretation of Scripture had long been at the heart of his theological work. When he was elected to the See of Peter in 2005, Ratzinger had already spent more than half a century as a theologian whose work was articulated in distinctively biblical terms and who often reflected on questions of exegesis, faith and theology.2 His 1988 Erasmus Lecture on “Biblical Interpretation in Crisis” built on his earlier work diagnosing the problems in modern critical exegesis and pointing the way toward a more adequate herme- neutic.3 As prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, 1 Benedict XVI, On the Way to Jesus Christ, trans. Michael Miller (San Francisco: Ig- natius, 2005), 9. 2 For a good overview of Benedict’s biblical approach to theology, see Scott Hahn, Covenant and Communion: The Biblical Theology of Pope Benedict XVI (Grand Rap- ids, MI: Brazos, 2009). 3 Ratzinger, “Biblical Interpretation in Crisis: On the Question of the Foundations and Approaches of Exegesis Today,” in Richard J.
