| Résumé : |
Few theological works of the previous decade have been so highly acclaimed as David Tracy’s BLESSED RAGE FOR ORDER. It is a book universally recognized as brilliantly exemplifying the pluralism which it defined and advocated.
THE ANALOGICAL IMAGINATION carries on that legacy of expository brilliance and begins by discussing, first, the public character of all theology in its relationship to society, church, and academy; and second, the public character of the three major types of theology: fundamental, systematic, and practical. But where BLESSED RAGE FOR ORDER concentrated on fundamental theology, the present work focusses primarily on systematics. In Part I Professor Tracy studies the nature of interpretation theory and of the cultural phenomenon of the classic. He then examines the nature of the religious classic and concludes that the task of systematic theology is the interpretation of Christian classics for and in the contemporary situation. Part II engages in the Christian systematic task itself by an analysis of the event and person of Jesus in its classic expressions in the New Testament. This is followed by a theological analysis of the presence of the “uncanny” in contemporary life and by an interpretation of the main forms of contemporary systematics from neo-orthodoxy and Vatican II to present political, liberation, mystical, and empirical theologies. The book concludes with a constructive advocacy of the need for reasserting the analogical imagination in contemporary theology as a means of creatively appropriating the pluralistic possibilities of the present. |
