- Preface
- Introduction: The Task of Theology (Robert H. King): Classic formulations of Christian theology, early beginnings, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin. Modern challenges and contributions, the Enlightenment, Schleiermacher and Hegel, Ritschl and Barth. Radical alternatives: Tillich, process theology, liberation theology. The problem of unity, coherence, and meaning. - Aids for the Study of Theology - 1. Theological Method (David Tracy): The “new paradigm.” The turn to interpretation theory, the legacy of Romanticism and the Enlightenment, interpretation as conversation (Gadamer), the role of critical theory (“hermeneutics of suspicion”) and explanatory methods (Ricoeur). The interpretation of religious classics. Theological method as “mutually critical correlations" between tradition and situation. - 2. Scripture and Tradition (Edward Farley and Peter C. Hodgson): The origins of the “scripture principle,” its presuppositions and axioms, modifications in early Christianity, the teaching authority of the church. The collapse of traditional authority, the use of scrip¬ture in modern theologies. How the originating events are perpetuated through time and across cultures. - 3. God (Langdon Gilkey): God as absolute and related, biblical concepts, Hellenism, the Trinity. Modern developments, naturalistic humanism, knowledge of God and rational inquiry, divine agency and human history. God in continuities, freedom and new possibilities, the encounter with other religions. - 4. Revelation (George Stroup): Ambiguity of “revelation.” Objective and subjective dimensions, reve¬lation as illumination (Origen, Augustine, Aquinas) and as encounter (Luther, Calvin). Challenges (Locke, deists, Hume, and Kant), and responses (Schleiermacher, Hegel, and liberals), God’s self-disclosure (Barth), human experience (existentialism) and history (H. R. Niebuhr). Narrative theology and future issues. - 5. Creation and Providence (Julian N. Hartt): Decline of traditional teaching. Biblical images of creator and provider, the classic consensus (Origen to Calvin), and its persistent tensions. Challenge to teleology, defenses (Descartes and Leibniz), pantheism (Spinoza) and skepticism (Hume), historical consciousness (Hegel), liberalism (Kant and moral teleology), revivals (Barth, Bult- mann). Origins, creativity, openness, freedom, goodness and evil. - 6. Human Being (David H. Kelsey): Classic themes: human nature as created (body and soul, social being, teleology, temporality), human nature as fallen. The modern “turn to the subject,” moral autonomy and fulfillment, historicity of the subject. New strategies: the subject’s consciousness, the moral subject, authentic freedom, self-making, self-choosing, God as subject (Barth). Problems of explanation, of abstraction, and of dependency; need for sense of createdness, and persons as agents. - 7. Sin and Evil (Robert R. Williams): The Adam story (O.T. and Paul), Augustine on original righteous-ness, sin and guilt, interpretations (Aquinas and Reformers). Problems of sin and responsibility, historical criticism, the fall. Centrality' of redemption, reinterpretations of the fall. Phenomenology of sin, Augustinian and Irenaean theodicy (Hick). - 8. Christ and Salvation (Walter Lowe): The relation of doctrines of salvation and Christ. Biblical founda-tions and early centuries (Nicaea, Chalcedon); Anselm, Abelard, and Luther. Reason as critical, self-critical, and self-aware; modern reformulation (Schleiermacher, historical Jesus and apocalyptic, Barth and Bultmann), beyond existentialism (process theology, later Barth, Rahner, Pannenberg, liberation theology). The worshiping community, mystery, Trinity. - 9. The Church (Peter C. Hodgson and Robert C. Williams): Images of the church (people, body, communion, Spirit); marks of the church (unity, catholicity, holiness, apostolicity); the Protestant principle. Modern reformulations (Schleiermacher and Hegel). Relativization, theology and sociology (Tillich), community, liberation, black and feminist impulses. Continuing problems (biblical, cultural, sociopolitical, theological). - 10. The Sacraments (Stephen W. Sykes): Problems of number and definition. The development of rites; baptismal and eucharistic theories; sacramental theology (Augustine, Lombard, Aquinas); criticism of abuses; Eucharist as memorial (Luther). Modern rites; mechanistic or sacramental universe, moral interpretation (Kant); theories of personal encounter; communal emphases. Rites and story; eschatology and politics; sacrifice and culture. - 11. The Spirit and the Christian Life (David B. Burrell): Spirit as capacity to respond. Friendship with God (monasticism), prayer (mysticism); communal expectation (Joachim of Fiore, Müntzer). The turn to the world, secular challenges (Marx, Freud, progress), renewal (Vatican II). Practical issues (ecology, justice, action as response). - 12. The Kingdom of God and Life Everlasting (Carl E. Braaten): O.T. prophecy and apocalyptic, Christian revision, Jesus and early church; encounter with Hellenism; scholastic synthesis. Humanism, utopian socialism, Marx, myth of progress. Schweitzer, Barth, Bultmann, Tillich, and contemporary theology. Continued relevance of eschatology. - 13. The Religions (John B. Cobb, Jr.): The habit of superiority, the problem of “religion.” Basic Christian attitudes, and interpretations of religions (Judaism, paganism, Islam, and Confucianism). Kant, Hegel, Troeltsch, Barth on religions; relation of Christianity to other religions (Rahner, Tillich, Pannenberg). Critique of religion; theological reconceptualization. Receptivity, and the relation to Judaism. - An Epilogue: The Christian Paradigm (Sallie McFague): Tire post-Enlightenment reformation of Christianity; the relativity of the paradigm of Christianity, the Bible as “classic," opposition to hierarchical, imperialistic, and patriarchal model of divine-human relationship, pluralism, and openness. - Contributors - Index |
