1A2ae.10.2.Responsio 2 THE TRINITARIAN GIFT UNFOLDED: SACRIFICE, RESURRECTION, COMMUNION JOHN MARK AINSLEY GRIFFITHS, BSC., MSC., MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 Abstract Contentious unresolved philosophical and anthropological questions beset contemporary gift theories. What is the gift? Does it expect, or even preclude, some counter-gift? Should the gift ever be anticipated, celebrated or remembered? Can giver, gift and recipient appear concurrently? Must the gift involve some tangible ‘thing’, or is the best gift objectless? Is actual gift-giving so tainted that the pure gift vaporises into nothing more than a remote ontology, causing unbridgeable separation between the gift-as-practised and the gift-as-it-ought-to- be? In short, is the gift even possible? Such issues pervade scholarly treatments across a wide intellectual landscape, often generating fertile inter-disciplinary crossovers whilst remaining philosophically aporetic. Arguing largely against philosophers Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Marion and partially against the empirical gift observations of anthropologist Marcel Mauss, I contend in this thesis that only a theological – specifically trinitarian – reading liberates the gift from the stubborn impasses which non-theological approaches impose. That much has been argued eloquently by theologians already, most eminently John Milbank, yet largely with a philosophical slant. I develop the field by demonstrating that the Scriptures, in dialogue with the wider Christian dogmatic tradition, enrich discussions of the gift, showing how creation, which emerges ex nihilo in Christ, finds its completion in him as creatures observe and receive his own perfect, communicable gift alignment. In the ‘gift-object’ of human flesh, believers rejoicingly discern Christ receiving-in-order-to-give and giving-in- order-to-receive, the very reciprocal giftedness that Adamic humanity spurned. Moreover, the depths of Christ’s crucified self-giving and the heights of resurrectional glory, culminating in the Spirit’s eternal communion, convey sin- 1 bound creatures into the new creation, towards their deified end, through liturgical mediation which reveals true giftedness. The gift is thus no aporetic embarrassment but the means of entry into and – more significantly – the very texture of the new, eucharistic creation. 2 Acknowledgements This doctoral thesis on the divine gift was completed through the generous, sometimes sacrificial, gifts of numerous individuals. I am indebted to the trustees of the Isla Johnson Trusts of the Church in Wales for their confidence in the value of this theological research and their substantial financial support throughout the period of study. The Rt. Revd. Wyn Evans, Bishop of St. Davids, has provided consistent support to conclude the research amid the busyness and challenges of ministry. I can only hope that the academic endeavours enclosed herein prove to be of value to the Church in its mission and ministry. My doctoral supervisor, Dr. Simon Oliver, has offered scholarly insight, friendly encouragement and perspicuous criticism in equal measure from beginning to completion, with exceptional erudition and clarity. I am grateful to those scholars who have kindly shared preprints of forthcoming books, namely Professor John Barclay, the Revd. Dr. Mark Clavier and Professor Karen Kilby. Innumerable colleagues, past and present, from the Diocese of St. Davids and University of Wales: Trinity Saint David have, in various ways, sustained me spiritually and intellectually, alongside the students and staff associated with the university chaplaincy where I am privileged to minister, together with the faithful of Christ Church, Carmarthen. Behind all these current influences stand the many eucharistic communities I have served and within which I have worshipped, together with those theologians who have taught me and the host of scholars with whom I have engaged to formulate this thesis. Only now do I appreciate fully the encouragement to pursue doctoral study given to me many years ago by the late Revd. Canon Professor Donald Allchin and the late Revd. Dr. Peter Jagger. More recently, many friends have supported through their prayers, good wishes, humour and practical support, in particular my Cuddesdon cell group – the Reverends Peter Babington, Elaine Bielby, Gareth Evans, David Fisher and Liz Griffiths. 3 My family have offered ceaseless love and encouragement. My parents, Dewi and Eilonwy Griffiths, have sustained me in so many ways, not least in allowing me to pursue many years of study, whilst my brother Elystan Griffiths has offered his own incisive scholarly insight, albeit from an entirely different academic field. Saunders and Cynthia Davies, my parents-in-law, have been unfailingly supportive, whilst my occasional theological conversations with Saunders have always been illuminating and inspiring. Nevertheless, my most heartfelt thanks (humanly speaking) must go to those who have lived with the thesis for many years and reciprocated my absent-minded preoccupation and periods of solitary, concentrated study with the precious gifts of love, patience and understanding. So this thesis is dedicated with sincere love and gratitude to my wife, Angharad, and our children Tomos, Daniel, Gwenfair and Sara: gyda chariad a diolch diffuant i bob un ohonoch chi. Cyn llunio’r byd, cyn lledu’r nefoedd wen, cyn gosod haul na lloer na sêr uwchben, fe drefnwyd ffordd yng nghyngor Tri yn Un i achub gwael, golledig, euog ddyn. Trysorwyd gras, ryw annherfynol stôr, yn Iesu Grist cyn rhoddi deddf i’r môr; a rhedeg wnaeth bendithion arfaeth ddrud fel afon gref, lifeiriol dros y byd.

  • Hearing the Call of God: Toward a Theological Phenomenology of Vocation
    HEARING THE CALL OF GOD: TOWARD A THEOLOGICAL PHENOMENOLOGY OF VOCATION Submitted by Meredith Ann Secomb B.A. (Hons) B.Theol. M.A. (Psych) Theol.M. A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy National School of Theology Faculty of Theology and Philosophy Australian Catholic University Research Services Locked Bag 4115 Fitzroy Victoria 3065 Australia March 2010 ii Statement of Sources This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No parts of this thesis have been submitted towards the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of the thesis. Signed: _____________________ Date: _____________________ iii Abstract This study contributes to the development of a theological phenomenology of vocation. In so doing, it posits that the distressing condition of existential unrest can be a foundational motivation for the vocational search and argues that the discovery of one’s vocation, which necessarily entails an engagement with existential mystery, is served by attentiveness to what is termed the “pneumo-somatic” data of embodied consciousness. Hence, the study does not canvass the broad range of phenomena that would contribute to a comprehensive phenomenology of vocation. Rather, it seeks to highlight an aspect frequently overlooked in the vocational search, namely the value of attentiveness to one’s experience of the body in the context of prayerful engagement with the mystery of God.

  • Hans Urs Von Balthasar Society
    Reports of Developing or Ad Hoc Groups 273 HANS URS VON BALTHASAR SOCIETY EDWARD OAKES' PATTERN OF REDEMPTION Presenter: Edward T. Oakes Respondent: Mark A. Mcintosh Most theologians agree that their discipline is a "second-order" activity, meaning a subsequent, reasoned reflection upon the prior data of faith and revelation. Oakes introduced his book by showing how Balthasar himself handles this distinction between first- and second-order activity internal to Christian faith. As it happens, Balthasar's own degree was in Germanistik and not theology, and so it is not surprising to learn that he draws on literary categories to explain the role of theology in relation to the life of faith. In the first volume of the Theodramatik, Balthasar devotes a number of pages to a contrast between epic, lyric and dramatic modes of thought, heavily favoring the latter. The priority he gives to the dramatic mode is his way of emphasizing the first-order claims of faith: faith is first and foremost a doing, a response to a kerygma which demands obedience before it gives birth to thought. And this response is the drama of the soul saying "Yes" or "No" to God. This is why Balthasar holds that the art of drama, especially when we are speaking in poetic terms, is the highest form of art, because it encompasses all other art forms. Nonetheless, Oakes took a few moments to explore the contrast between epic and lyric styles. In the history of poetry one can notice two distinct trends that run through the course of literature: that between the civic and the private.

Sorace (Mainz: Matthias Grünewald, 2017) http://www.gruenewaldverlag.de/gott-anderswo-p-1332.html Johannes Hoff Mystagogische Zugänge zur Kirche als Leib Christi Certeaus taktische Re-lektüre von Corpus Mysticum und das Vermächtnis Henri de Lubacs 87 In seiner monumentalen Studie über Person und Werk Michel de Certeaus erinnert Francois Dosse daran, dass Certeau Jahr für Jahr seinen Nachruf auf Henri de Lubac auf den neuesten Stand brachte. Als der Nachruf schließlich 1991 im Le Monde erschien, war sein Verfasser bereits seit einem halben Jahrzehnt tot. Diese Geschichte wirft nicht nur Licht auf Certeaus ‚unbedingte Treue’1 zu seinem älteren jesuitischen Mitbruder, den er seit seiner Studienzeit als unstrittige Autorität wahrnahm. Sie fasst in anekdotischer Zuspitzung auch die These dieses Essays zusammen: In seinen Schriften beging der Kronprinz wiederholt einen Vatermord – doch am Ende überlebte der Vater den Sohn. Während der 1950er Jahre war Certeau Lubacs Musterschüler in Lyon. Certeau wiederum verehrte seinen Lehrer als wegweisenden Theologen und Helden der katholischen Résistance. Als Universalgelehrter von außergewöhnlicher intellektueller Schärfe war Certeau dazu bestimmt, in die Fußstapfen Lubacs zu treten. Als die Studierenden aber im Mai 1968 „das Wort ergriffen“2, feierte Certeau ihren revolutionären Protest nicht nur als einen kreativen „Bruch“ mit bürgerlichen Normal-Betrieb und den hierarchischen Gesellschaftsstrukturen der Vergangenheit; er empörte auch seinen Lehrer, indem er das feiern kreativer Brüche zu einem hermeneutischen Prinzip erhob.

    Anglican Studies (ANGL) 1 Anglican Studies (ANGL) ANGL 537 C.S. Lewis: Author, Apologist, and Anglican (3) This course will examine selected writings of C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) with special attention to the historical development and Anglican character of his work. It will consider how Lewis treated certain key themes through more than one genre, focusing particularly on his apologetics, science fiction, and fantasy. Themes and texts considered will include suffering and eschatology (The Problem of Pain / The Great Divorce), natural law and posthumanism (The Abolition of Man / That Hideous Strength), theism and naturalism (Miracles / The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe), and human and divine love (The Four Loves / Till We Have Faces). ANGL 539 The Anglican Tradition of Reason: Butler, Newman, and Farrer (3) This course will examine the theological and philosophical aspects of an important tradition spanning three centuries of English Anglicanism. Focusing on the writings of three definitive figures who drew upon and shaped this tradition, we will examine Joseph Butler in the eighteenth century, John Henry Newman in the nineteenth century, and Austin Farrer in the twentieth century. All three were noted preachers and scholars, as well as original thinkers and devout churchmen; the works we read will represent these different modes and concerns of their writing. We will also examine the historical context in both church and society during their respective periods, and consider the significance and implications of this ’tradition of reason’ for Anglican theology today. This course also has the attributes of CHHT and THEO. ANGL 540 The Shape of the Communion (3) This is a course on the Instruments of Communion and how they have shaped Global Anglicanism.

Early caricatures of Traherne as a proto‐Romantic have also colored his reception as a serious theologian. By placing the critical emphasis on the literary dynamics within the corpus, the intellectual history influencing Traherne and the construction of his ideas has subsequently been lightly addressed in scholarship over the years.
