  • Moving Words Theology and the Performance of Proposing
    Moving Words Theology and the Performance of Proposing Joseph Bessler Thinking in the Wake of the Death of God The edge of Paul Tillich’s comment that “the proper response” to any claim of God as an object “is atheism” still cuts deeply into the embedded assumptions of most people who say they believe in God.1 While located explicitly in his 1959 collection of essays, Theology of Culture, the view is consistent with the body of his three-volume work in Systematic Theology. To read Tillich carefully across the span of his career is to realize that he was attempting to expand both the audi- ence and reach of theology. Unlike Karl Barth, who sought in the face of World War I to draw theology back from public discourse and to protect it from the gross failures of modernity as seemed evident in World War I, Tillich argued that theology needed to be engaged more deeply with the world. Invited to address conferences on depth psychology and philosophy, grac- ing the cover of Time magazine, and footnoted in U. S. Supreme Court rulings, Tillich’s existential theology involved an expansion of theology’s conversation partners to the voices, theistic and not, of major humanistic philosophers, art- ists, and literary critics. That expansion is most clearly evident in the way he spelled out his view of theology as a correlation of question and answer. It is important, said Tillich, that one attend not only to the substance of a question that is put to theology, but to its form (e.g., as an existential question of mean- ing).

  • Bielik-Robson
    AGATA BIELIK -ROBSON Institute of Philosophy and Sociology Polish Academy of Sciences THE TRAPS OF THE SUBLIME The darkness of the time is an image of disorientation. It is a time when God enters the mind: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or perhaps the mask of Dionysus… The problem with the vertical intrusion of the various orders of the nonrealized is that we do not know what realm of discourse has inserted its claim through the wound in consciousness. Charles E. Winquist, Epiphanies of Darkness Review of Clayton Crockett’s Interstices of the Sublime. Theology and Psychoanalytic Theory. New York: Fordham University Press, 2007. 232 pp. ISBN 978- 0823227228. Paper, $26.00. he new book of Clayton Crockett, Interstices of the Sublime , can be regarded as a sequel to his Theology of the Sublime , where he attempted an analysis of Tthe Kantian concept of the sublime as a pivotal notion of modern religious experience. This time Crockett concentrates on the discourse of the sublime created within the broadly conceived movement of theoretical psychoanalysis. “This is not a ‘scholarly’ book on ‘Freud’, or on ‘Lacan’ – Crockett says in the introduction - but rather a book that seeks to inscribe Freudian and Lacanian thought into theological thinking in such a way that unsettles both theology and psychoanalysis”. 1 This declaration of subversion sets a master tone to his whole enterprise whose main purpose is, indeed, to unsettle : shake theologians out of their outdated conceptuality, traumatize their minds, and open them to this particular “variety of religious experience” that is brought with the sublime, especially the psychoanalytic one.
