God. Ramsey argued that there were parallel disclosures in practically all other Ramsey’s theory of religious areas of knowledge – including knowledge mathematics, poetry, morality and I. T. Ramsey came to describe his ordinary human situations. characteristic philosophy of religion as a ‘broader empiricism’, arguing that I use ‘disclosure’ not in relation to religious belief can only be justified if it is information, but to refer to situations grounded in some form of religious about which various metaphorical experience. This view provided his phrases are commonly used. Such Challenging Religious Issues, Issue 11, Autumn 2017 2 Ramsey on Religious Language phrases, e.g., are those which speak social life, or the whole of the physical of situations ‘coming alive’, ‘taking on creation. None of these ‘mores’ can ever depth’, situations in which ‘the penny be adequately captured in straightforward drops’, where we ‘see’ but not with language – in the ‘plain, flat descriptive eyes of flesh, where something ‘strikes language’ that characterises the medium us’, where ‘eye meets eye’ and where through which they are disclosed. ‘hearts miss a beat’. (Ramsey, 1972, In order to speak about these ‘mores’, p. 115) we therefore need to use words and phrases that will appear to many to be In such contexts, the ‘ice breaks’ and the rather ‘odd’, by comparison with the ‘light dawns’. These are disclosure- more everyday, empirical language that situations in which, for example, we may: describes their observable media. recognise a pattern (Ramsey refers Ramsey’s theory of religious to a 3D cube discerned language through the In particular, Ramsey claimed that two-dimensional religious language is often made up of lines of a drawing – models drawn from our sense experience see figure); of the world (‘good’, ‘powerful’, ‘Father’, grasp an idea (say of the colour ‘rock’, etc.), which are regularly coupled yellow, which is more than and other with qualifiers. These qualifiers are than any or all yellow objects); usually adverbs or adjectives whose discern a duty; or significance it is easy to overlook, such as recognise another person (or ‘infinitely’, ‘all’, ‘eternal’ and ‘heavenly’.2 ‘another mind’). As the models themselves are essentially analogies and metaphors We then respond to these disclosures derived from this-worldly language, their with an appropriate commitment. meaning must change when they are In the religious disclosure-situation, the applied to a God who transcends this discerned object (and active subject) of world and this language. Such models, the disclosure is God, mediated mainly Ramsey insists, are not ‘picturing models’ through nature or history. It is in such a – (Ramsey, 1971a, p. 213). often ‘cosmic’ (all-inclusive and unlimited) Qualifiers have no descriptive meaning – disclosure that people respond with the of their own, any more than a square ultimate commitment of faith, and also root sign has a numerical value. (If you supremely ‘come to themselves’. doubt this, ask yourself how to solve the Ramsey claimed that all disclosures reveal a transcendent ‘more’ through and qualifiers tell us to do something with the beyond the empirical medium of its value they sit next to. In fact, they tell us disclosure.1 This medium is made up to do two things. either of objects and events that are known through sense experience, or of the language that describes them. In the 1Ramsey argued that, in the end, all disclosures reveal the same object, for these many disclosed realities are all part case of disclosures of persons, duty or of the One Reality of God. God, for example, the media are 2Although the qualifiers are not always explicitly expressed, (respectively) human bodies and their they are implied. So, when people speak of God simply as ‘king’ we (and they) need to remember that God is actually behaviour, situations in our personal or the ‘heavenly king’. Challenging Religious Issues, Issue 11, Autumn 2017 3 Ramsey on Religious Language Religious language as representative from fastening onto a single model to First, qualifiers help us to represent the understand (say) God, the church or the transcendent God (that is, to ‘describe’ atonement; whereas ‘orthodoxy aimed at God, as well as any language about having every possible model’ (Ramsey, humans and nature can). As God is 1957, p. 170). different, our language must show this. Yet Ramsey allows us to express some Qualified models (‘infinitely good’, preference among religious models. ‘heavenly Father’, ‘eternal Rock’, etc.) tell Indeed, that is one of the prime tasks of us to note the difference between theology. ‘A model like person is better descriptive God-talk and our usual than, say, shepherd or potter because it descriptions of this-worldly fathers, can say all that these other models can goodness, rocks, and so on. But the say and more besides; in this way it can model words these phrases contain also absorb the discourse from two or more speak of a likeness, for God is not utterly models’ (Ramsey, 1971a, p. 214). different. Technically, Ramsey was a ‘critical Religious language as evocative realist’ who believed that the transcendent Qualified models not only have a God may be represented but not literally cognitive (fact-asserting) function of described. One of his catch phrases was representing the nature of God, they also that we can be ‘sure in religion’, indeed serve the non-cognitive function of ‘sure of God’, but must always be evoking a disclosure in which God is ‘tentative in theology’: certain of the known. Ramsey makes the empirical reality of the object of our disclosures, claim that most of our models of God are but never more than provisional about ultimately derived from religious any account of the nature of that reality experiences, being drawn from the (Ramsey, 1965, p. 89). medium of religious disclosures. God has Ramsey strongly maintained that God been disclosed to people ‘through’ or is a mystery, and claimed that only one ‘around’ the being and behaviour word – ‘activity’ – can be used of God (or language about the being and with the same basic sense that it has for behaviour) of fathers, mothers, kings or us.3 All other language must be heavily shepherds, and even of rocks, fortresses, qualified. As we have seen, this may be fire and wind.4 That is why God may be done explicitly by adding qualifier words. But it can also be done by means of the 3Ramsey believed that he was presenting a form of analogical religious language that was independent of the mutual qualification that happens Thomist’s metaphysics of an ‘analogy of being’ between through a jostling together of different God and the created world.

Anti-abortion campaigner Bernadette Smyth was among many in the the courtroom for the hearing Northern Ireland abortion law can be challenged, court rules The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has won High Court permission to challenge abortion law in Northern Ireland. Irish Times - A judge in Belfast has granted leave to seek a judicial review amid claims the current near-blanket ban on terminations is a violation of human rights. [email protected] Page !1 February 2 “This case raises issues of considerable public importance which require to be examined at a substantive hearing,” Mr Justice Treacy said. The commission issued proceedings against the Department of Justice as part of an attempt to secure a change in the law to allow abortion in cases of rape, incest or serious foetal malformation. Terminations are currently only legal in Northern Ireland to protect the woman’s life or where there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health. The court battle comes as Minister for Justice David Ford continues a public consultation on amending the criminal law on abortion in Northern Ireland. It includes a recommendation for proposed legislation allowing an abortion in circumstances where there is no prospect of the foetus being delivered and having a viable life. But according to counsel for the commission the consultation does not commit to making the changes it believes are necessary. [email protected] Page !2 February 2 In court, Nathalie Lieven QC argued the current situation breaches rights to freedom from torture and inhuman and degrading treatment, discrimination and entitlements to privacy under the European Convention on Human Rights.

  • Call for Proposals: Ian Ramsey Centre Studies in Science and Religion
    Call for Proposals : Ian Ramsey Centre Studies in Science and Religion Oxford University Press and the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at Oxford University are pleased to announce a new series of original academic works with a specifi c focus o n the increasingly important field of science and religion. The Ian Ramsey Centre Studies in Science and Religion will initially take the form of a series of between six and nine works to be commissioned over the next six years. The series will be edited by Alister McGrath, Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University, and Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre. Dr Andrew Pinsent, the Centre’s Director of Resea rch, serves as Managing Editor for the series , which is intended to encourage and exte nd original research in the field of science and religion, and disseminate its ideas and findings. Works will typically be in the range of 70,000 – 80,000 words, although longer works may be considered if the add itional length can be justified in terms of its academic impact. It is expected that t he series will consist largely of academic monographs by established scholars, and will deal primarily with scholarly engagement with the “big questions” in the field of science and religion. Pote ntial contributors to this series are asked to ensure that their approaches have the potential for impact on global discussion of such questions, while retaining the highest standards of academic excellence and originality . It is not envisaged that doctoral theses will be included in the series.

Moreover it is our will that each year for all time in the cathedral church of Durham on the twenty-seventh day of January, solemn rites of the dead shall be held, together with mass on the following day, for the souls of our dearest ancestors and of all the founders and benefactors of the ancient convent of Durham, to which shall be summoned the dean, all the canons, and the rest of the ministers, scholars and poor men. Cap. 34 of Queen Mary’s Statutes of Durham Cathedral, 1554 Translated by Canon Dr David Hunt, March 2014 2 Welcome Welcome to the annual commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. This service gives us an opportunity to celebrate those whose generosity in the past has enriched the lives of Durham’s great institutions today and to look forward to a future that is full of opportunity. On 27 January 1914, the then Dean, Herbert Hensley Henson, revived the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. It had been written into the Cathedral Statutes of 1554 but for whatever reason had not been observed for centuries.
