Contemporary Trinitarian Thought Contemporary Trinitarian Thought Spring Term, 2015, 9-12 a.m. SAH Board Room TH 6/780 Instructor: The Rev. Dr. Richard Topping Principal and Professor of Studies in the Reformed Tradition Vancouver School of Theology Office: St Andrew's Hall, 3rd Floor Office Phone: 604-822-9808 Email: [email protected] Office Hours and Availability: Please send me an email to make an appointment. Feel free to drop by; but if you need more than a few minutes, please email or phone me so that we can plan for the appropriate time. If you can't reach me, please contact Kelly Lee ([email protected]) who will arrange an appointment. General Introduction and Purpose: This course offers an in-depth exploration of the Christian doctrine of God, with particular attention to recent contributions to and developments in Trinitarian theology by Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox thinkers. While we make reference to the origins of the doctrine (teaching) of the Trinity in the biblical and early Church period, the primary focus of the course is on the meaning and significance of this central Christian teaching for the contemporary life of the church and the world. We will be especially interested in the implications of Trinitarian theology for scripture interpretation, liturgy and ecclesia, anthropology and sexuality, the meeting of religions, politics, economics - justice and ecology. The purpose of the course is to immerse students in the robust and delightful resources of contemporary ecumenical Trinitarian theology, which in turn draws students deeper into knowing, loving, and worshipping God. Competence Objectives: In completing this course a student will be able to: (1) Demonstrate competent understanding of important contemporary Trinitarian texts and their historical pedigree. (2) Critically assess the contemporary renaissance in Trinitarian theology, its sources, limitations and expressions. (3) Deploy Trinitarian theology to interpret, construct, challenge and reform. Students will acquire fluency in contemporary Trinitarian thought with a view to interpreting (re- imagining, deliberately misreading the world) by means of it. Format: This class meets once a week for three hours for eleven classes. The primary format will be lecture followed by a discussion of questions raised on the basis of the students close reading of the required texts. This discussion will take place in small groups as well as in the group as a whole. Some meetings of the class will be conducted in seminar format with ThM students leading the discussion. We will go on a field trip to The Church of the Holy Resurrection (Orthodox) on January 27, 9 a.m. where Archbishop Lazar Puhalowill speaks to us about how Orthodox liturgy is shaped by Trinitarian theology and sensibility. Expectations/Evaluation: (1) Class attendance and preparation of all required reading before class. Not every reading will be the topic of class discussion but the assumption is that students can contribute meaningfully to discussion because they have been funded by the readings. (2) Oral presentation to the class of a book report (15 minutes) on an important contemporary monograph on the Trinity (see bibliography). It should be a book other than the course text book. A paper copy of the book report (10-12 pages) should be handed in at the end of the class presentation. ThM students will be required to make a presentation of 20 minutes and to interact with at least five critical reviews of the book in their written and oral presentation. The paper copy of their presentation should be 12-14 pages and handed in at the end of the class presentation. (3) A final paper (10 pages) which deploys the resources of Trinitarian Theology to re-imagine a contemporary problem, struggle, issue for the church and/or the world. I will give more background on this assignment in class. You should look at Placher, The Triune God, pp. 101-108 for significant help with this assignment. The assignment requires students to interpret the world through the lens of some aspect of Trinitarian theology. The whole course is essentially an exercise in the same interpretative approach. Due Date: April 17, 2015 for graduating students other basic degree students, April 24. ThM students will do the same final assignment to a length of 15 pages. Due Date: April 17, 2015 if you are graduating otherwise, June 27, 2015. Deadlines: All assignments in this course are due on the dates indicated. Failure to submit assignments on time may affect the final grade for the course. A late assignment, without legitimate excuse, will result in the reduction of a letter grade.

Prevot Boston College Andrew L. Prevot is an associate professor in the Department of Theology at Boston College. His research interests include: prayer, spirituality, and mystical theology; political, liberation, and black theology; phenomenology and continental philosophy of religion; and Catholic systematic and fundamental theology. He is the author of Thinking Prayer: Theology and Spirituality Amid the Crises of Modernity (Notre Dame Press, 2015), and a number of article and book chapters in the fields of liberation theology, political theology, and philosophical theology. Dr Prevot’s address belongs to a burgeoning field of scholarship that addresses current social issues by drawing on Christian mystical sources. In particular, it argues that Angela of Foligno's struggle with an inner sense of personal nothingness resembles the psychological burdens of many suffering under anti-blackness and other dehumanizing regimes. It further contends that God's loving response to Angela points to the sort of love that is needed to address such injustices.

  • REVIEW Peter Ochs Another Reformation: Postliberal Christianity and the Jews (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2011), 288 Pp
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations REVIEW Peter Ochs Another Reformation: Postliberal Christianity and the Jews (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2011), 288 pp. Christina Smerick, Greenville College Peter Ochs, a Jewish theologian long involved in Jewish- Christian relations, uses a pragmatic philosophical framework, based on Charles Peirce, and his own critique of the dyadic structure of modernist thought, to examine postliberal Chris- tian theologians, both in the US and Great Britain, with regard to “non-supersessionism.” Supersessionism is the doctrinal teaching arguing that Christianity is a new covenant between God and humanity, which replaces the covenant found in Torah between God and the Jewish people. Postliberal thought, Ochs argues, in its rejection of dyadic thinking, also rejects supersessionism as unnecessarily binary and undeserv- ing of a full picture of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus. He focuses on the theologians George Lindbeck, Rob- ert Jenson, Stanley Hauerwas, John Howard Yoder, Daniel Hardy, and David Ford. Ochs’ main point is that postliberal theologians hold that the Church need not turn from the Gospels or from the history of church doctrine in order to reject supersessionism. Ochs at- tributes this sea change in understanding Christian doctrine to a new, third epoch in the history of Judeo-Christian relations. This epoch, that of “postliberalism,” is one of “relationality that invites both critical reason and a reaffirmation of scriptur- al revelation” (p. 4). He approaches a fuller articulation of this epoch logically, albeit via a “theo-logic” that refuses exclusion and binary oppositions in favor of a pattern of thought that seeks to be reparative and thus guided by a “relational (and thus non-dyadic) logic of inquiry” (p.

  • BEFORE the ORIGINAL POSITION the Neo-Orthodox Theology of the Young John Rawls
    BEFORE THE ORIGINAL POSITION The Neo-Orthodox Theology of the Young John Rawls Eric Gregory ABSTRACT This paper examines a remarkable document that has escaped critical at- tention within the vast literature on John Rawls, religion, and liberalism: Rawls’s undergraduate thesis, “A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith: An Interpretation Based on the Concept of Community” (1942). The thesis shows the extent to which a once regnant version of Protestant the- ology has retreated into seminaries and divinity schools where it now also meets resistance. Ironically, the young Rawls rejected social contract liber- alism for reasons that anticipate many of the claims later made against him by secular and religious critics. The thesis and Rawls’s late unpublished remarks on religion and World War II offer a new dimension to his intellec- tual biography. They show the significance of his humanist response to the moral impossibility of political theology. Moreover, they also reveal a kind of Rawlsian piety marginalized by contemporary debates over religion and liberalism. KEY WORDS: John Rawls, community, liberalism, religion, political theology, public reason PROTESTANT THEOLOGIAN REINHOLD NIEBUHR DIED IN 1971. In that same year, philosopher John Rawls published his groundbreaking work, A The- ory of Justice. These two events symbolically express transformations in American intellectual and political culture that remain significant today. In the academy, religious defenders of a liberal consensus had been chal- lenged by ascendant secular liberalisms and emergent religious voices critical of liberalism of any kind. Parallel developments in the political culture had begun to see the fracturing of coalitions that transcended di- verse religious and secular commitments in order to support democratic institutions and practices.

But as John Hick has highlighted in his work, religious experience is itself something that both the religious believer and atheist must explain. Another possibility is that the author decided not to address both religious experience and the eviden­ tial problem because of his desire to produce a book suitable also for a meta­ physics course. (See my comments below on the book's suitability as a text.) 2. See e.g., R. B. Braithwaite, "An Empiricist's View of the Nature of Religious Belief," in Christian Ethics and Moral Philosophy, ed.

  • Study Guide To
    Liberal Theology: A Radical Vision Study Guide Fortress Press Liberal Theology: A Radical Vision Study Guide by Peter C. Hodgson Introduction to the Study Guide This book calls for a revival of liberal theology with a radical vision because the author believes that such a theology offers deeper insight into the meaning and truth of Christian faith for today than all the other options. Why “liberal theology”? Liberal theology is one of the great heritages of 19th and early 20th century religious thought, but today it has fallen into disrepute. This is partly because of the sustained attack on liberalism in politics and on the part of religious conservatism. The attack created a caricature of what liberalism is about in both politics and religion. The word “liberal” comes from the Latin libertas, and it refers to something that is “fitted for freedom” and “makes for freedom.” Liberalism is at the heart of our democracy, which is premised on the assumption that every human being is free and equal and has certain fundamental rights that governments are obliged to advance and defend. Liberalism in Christian religion gets at the heart of what God has done and is doing on behalf of human beings: setting them free from the bondage of sin and evil so that they may enjoy the “glorious freedom” of God’s children. Why a “radical vision”? There is something intrinsically radical about theology because it purports to make assertions about God, about the ultimate meaning and purpose of things, and it offers strong judgments about human behavior from a prophetic perspective.

  • Postliberal Theology
    Postliberal Theology Postliberal theology designates a type of theology whose leading proponents were active in the final decades of the 20th century. It is called postliberal because of its proponents’ dissatisfaction with classical liberal theology and because it is a response to liberal theological claims. Representatives include Hans Frei, George Lindbeck, David Kelsey, and Stanley Hauerwas. William Placher and Kathryn Tanner are also sometimes considered to be postliberal theologians. Postliberal theology arose in tandem with postmodern philosophy. Both rested on the recognition that the ideal of universal and absolute truth is illusory. For postliberal theologians, this recognition meant rejecting the assumption that Christian theology can be evaluated by and interpreted in terms of some other philosophical or scientific discourse. They believe that classical liberal theology had portrayed Christian beliefs and practices as particular instances of general religious truths and phenomena. The God revealed in scripture, for instance, was thought to be identical with the God discovered by philosophical investigation. By seeking to correlate Christian claims with philosophical or scientific claims, postliberals argue, liberal theologians abandoned the autonomy and truth of Christian theology. They had submitted theology to an authority outside of the Christian faith. It is questionable whether this indictment applies to all liberal theologians. Nonetheless, the postliberals’ concern show us why they embrace Karl Barth’s theology. Like them Barth insisted that the truth and norm of the Christian faith can be found only within revelation; all attempts to understand Christian theology outside of revelation distort theology. They also appreciate Barth’s view that God’s revelation is always particular and not general.

Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar: a critical engagement Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between two major twentieth century theologians, Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar. It seeks to show how their meeting, resulting in von Balthasar’s seminal study The Theology of Karl Barth, goes on to influence von Balthasar’s theological development throughout his trilogy beginning with The Glory of the Lord, continuing in the Theo-Drama and concluding with the Theo-Logic. In particular it explores the significance of the debate over the ‘analogy of being’ and seeks to show that von Balthasar’s decision to structure his trilogy around the transcendentals of ‘being’, the beautiful, the good and the true, results from his re-affirmation of the role of analogy in light of his debate with Barth.
