Swindal, Ph.D. Marinus Iwuchukwu, Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy Associate Professor of Theology (Dean, McAnulty School of Liberal Arts) (Chair, Department of Theology) iii ABSTRACT RELATIONAL INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE: INTERDISCIPLINARY ARGUMENTS FROM CREATOR/CREATURE THEOLOGY AND QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT By Joyce Ann Konigsburg May 2017 Dissertation supervised by Marinus Iwuchukwu, Ph.D. Globalization, technological advances, and worldviews that perceive religious others with suspicion, all intensify society’s awareness of religious plurality and the subsequent necessity for effective interreligious dialogue. Engaging in interreligious dialogue through daily encounters, conversations, common concerns, and shared religious experiences advances religious pluralism. Nevertheless, the current state of interreligious dialogue is at an impasse; its existing substantive ontological approaches introduce, perpetuate, or worsen challenges of hegemony, elitism, and marginalization, as well as tensions between the diametric goals of religious unity versus unique religious identity. Substantive ontological models emphasize religious autonomy instead of any relational connections between religious traditions. These prevalent methods hinder effective interreligious dialogue. iv In response, this project proposes relational ontology as a constructive method to address existing issues within interreligious dialogue. Relational ontology asserts that reality is being as being–in–relation. By employing relational ontology, interreligious dialogue participants recognize their fundamental interconnected unity while respecting each religious tradition’s particularity. Moreover, relationality assists in neutralizing power inequalities and marginalization. To illustrate relational ontology and explain its advantages for interreligious dialogue, this project evaluates the models of quantum entanglement and Christianity’s Creator/creation relationship. Placing interdisciplinary perspectives from science and religion in dialogue essentially instantiates the project’s methodology, it validates relational ontology as an effective method for improving the effectiveness of interreligious dialogue. v DEDICATION In memory of my dad, Richard Balukonis and my grandma, Genevieve Forystek with love and gratitude To my dear husband, Brian, my mom, Josephine Balukonis, and my daughter, Jennifer vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This project’s fundamental idea is that relational approaches improve interreligious dialogue. Because relationality likewise improves the dissertation process, it only seems fitting to acknowledge the significant relationships that have inspired and sustained my theological journey. Thus, I humbly recognize my creaturely relationship with the wholly other Creator, who lovingly bestows the gift of my very existence and whose grace guides all my accomplishments for God’s own glory. I am also grateful for the many academic relationships that direct my education and contribute to this project. I wish to thank my professors at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas for instilling their masters’ level academic instruction upon my catechetical foundation of faith and for encouraging me to pursue a Ph.D. in Theology. Similarly, I appreciate the theology professors at Duquesne University for conveying their expertise and guidance in developing my theological voice as well as my skills as a professor. In particular, I would like to acknowledge my dissertation director, Marinus Iwuchukwu, for his desire to work with me as well as for his helpful suggestions and support throughout this project. I also value the careful reading and comments from my theology committee members, Elizabeth Cochran and Sebastian Madathummuriyil, with special thanks for the contributions of Theodore Corcovilos from the Physics department. Three additional academic mentors and friends deserve specific recognition: Maureen O’Brien, William Wright, and Aimée Upjohn Light. My gratitude extends to precious relationships with family and friends. A sincere, heart–felt thank you for all your countless prayers, companionship, shared insights, words vii of encouragement, examples of courage and perseverance, and the occasional prodding to meet deadlines, followed by listening, understanding, and laughter. Initially, we were others and strangers; I am so grateful we became friends. From my heart, I appreciate your many meaningful contributions to this project and to my life. Additionally, I am blessed with my daughter, Jenni. I value your love, your steadfast confidence in me, and your sense of humor. My mom likewise deserves a special thank you and a hug. I am grateful for your unconditional love, your unwavering faith in me, and your inspiring example of what it means to be a successful woman of integrity. I am very proud to be your daughter. For my most important relationship, I want to thank my husband, Brian. I truly appreciate your patience and sacrifice involving multiple relocations and the subsequent isolation that we endured to achieve this desired goal. Through your steadfast love, gentle encouragement, and occasional back rubs, you nurtured this “budding” theologian into a “blossomed” doctor of philosophy. Even after writing an entire dissertation, mere words fail to express the gratitude, appreciation, and deep love I have for you. You are my hero, my life companion, and my friend. I love you! viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... iv DEDICATION ................................................................................................................... vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ................................................................................................ vii INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................ xii Project Summary .......................................................................................................... xii Purpose, Scope, and Methodology .............................................................................. xiv Chapter Synopses ........................................................................................................ xvi CHAPTER 1 – RELIGIOUS PLURALITY AND INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE ...... 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 State of Interreligious Dialogue ..................................................................................... 2 Interreligious Dialogue .............................................................................................. 3 Theologies of Religions ............................................................................................ 6 Comparative Theology ............................................................................................ 11 Religious Hegemony .................................................................................................... 14 Western Colonialism, Imperialism, and Mission .................................................... 15 Representation Challenges ...................................................................................... 23 Marginalization ....................................................................................................... 27 Tensions between Unity and Particularity ................................................................... 31 Unity–Particularity Conundrum .............................................................................

  • Love and the Knowledge of God in Augustine's De Trinitate
    LOVE AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN AUGUSTINE'S DE TRINITATE LOVE AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN AUGUSTINE'S DE TRINITATE By MARTIN WESTERHOLM, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Martin Westerholm, August 2009 MASTER OF ARTS (2009) McMaster University (Religious Studies) Hamilton, ON TITLE: Love and the Knowledge of God in Augustine's De Trinitate AUTHOR: Martin Westerholm, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor P. Travis Kroeker NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 130 11 Abstract: This thesis offers a close reading of Augustine's De Trinitate that is aimed at addressing the vexed question of the unity of the work. The most influential 20th century interpretation of De Trinitate holds that Augustine moves from a theological examination of the nature of the Trinity based on scripture to a philosophical investigation based on the structure of the human mind. This interpretation has led to the misconceptions that Augustine espouses a form of natural theology and separates theological doctrine from the concerns of the practical life. This thesis shows that De Trinitate is unified around the methodological rule that only the mind that loves God is capable of knowing him. This means, first, that Augustine's procedure is improperly characterized as natural theology; and, second, that, in making love a prerequisite for, and means to, knowledge of God, the ethical question of the ordering of love is inseparable from doctrinal concerns. This thesis shows that De Trinitate offers a coherent and compelling moral ontology in which the perceived tensions in Augustine'S theology of love can be reconciled.

  • Memoria, Intellectus, Voluntas: the Augustinian Centre of Robert Crouse's Scholarly Work
    Memoria, Intellectus, Voluntas: the Augustinian Centre of Robert Crouse’s Scholarly Work1 Wayne J. Hankey DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY AND KING’S COLLEGE, HALIFAX Dionysius 30 (2012): 41–76. I. “I LOVED WISDOM AND SOUGHT HER OUT FROM MY YOUTH. I DESIRED TO MAKE HER MY 2 SPOUSE, AND I WAS A LOVER OF HER BEAUTY”, LIBER SAPIENTIAE Robert Crouse dedicated a long and richly productive scholarly life to western intellectual and artistic culture, covering the whole range from the beginnings of Greek and Jewish literature to contemporary philosophy, poetry and theology. By his preaching, teaching, and publishing, by his own work, and by what he nurtured in others, he laboured to rethink the western spiritual heritage and, thus, to rebuild it. For the rebuilding, his prescription was the transformation of minds, and his aim was enabling vision: purified, simple intuition or understanding, the loving intellectus which is the goal of faith. For him the requisite was the hard intellectual work of restoring the union of philosophy with theology. Though eminently effective practically in everything from music to gardening, university administration and pastoral care, the primary service of Robert’s life to the university and the church was intellectual labour, understood Platonically in terms of recollection, not machinations wrought by synods and committees. Robert wrote a memorial for his teacher, friend, fellow Nova Scotian, mediaevalist, and philosophical theologian, ultimately his ecclesiastical and theological opponent, Professor Eugene Rathbone Fairweather of Trinity College, Toronto. There was even more in common between them, including celibacy, the Anglican priesthood, Classical studies, theological doctorates from American universities, careers of university teaching, Anglo-Catholicism, and socialism; indeed, Eugene Fairweather also died at 80, ten years before Robert.

Farrell University of New Hampshire Much of the scholarship on Augustine’s Confessions has consigned the discipline of rhetoric to the margins. Rhetoric was Augustine’s “major” in school, and his bread and bacon as a young adult. But in turning to God in the garden at Milan, Augustine also turned away from his profession. Rightly so, the accomplishment of Augustine’s conversion is viewed as a positive development. But the conversion story also structures the whole narrative of the Confessions and thus rhetoric is implicated in that narrative. It is the story of “Latin rhetorician turned Christian bishop.”1 Augustine’s intellectual and disciplinary evolution is mapped over a story of spiritual ascent.
