Ordinary Christology : a qualitative study and theological appraisal

Christie, Ann January 2005 (has links)
The aim of this study is to identify and critically to analyse the ordinary christologies of a group of thirty regular Anglican churchgoers. Ordinary christology, by the definition employed here, is the account, by believers who have received no formal theological education, of who Jesus was/is (christology) and what he did/does (soteriology). Data was gathered by means of in-depth interviews. Three main christologies are identified: these are designated as fuctional, ontological and sceptical christology. Functional christology considers Jesus to be the Son of God, not God and is effectively Arian; ontological christology holds the orthodox doctrine that Jesus is God; and sceptical christology doubts or denies altogether the divinity of Jesus. Three main soteriologies are also identified: these are named as exemplarist, traditionalist and evangelical soteriology. Exemplarist soteriology emphasises the life and death of Jesus as exemplary; traditionalist soteriology cannot articulate a theology of the cross at all; and evangelical soteriology hinges on substitutionary atonement and a personal relationship with Jesus. Functional christology and exemplarist soteriology dominate the sample. Difficulties with the 'traditional' theology of the cross, and the idea that God’s forgiveness is dependent on Jesus' atoning death, are widespread amongst the sample, indicating that new ways of telling the story of how Jesus saves are urgently required if Christianity is to capture again the imagination of our contemporary world. Various formal characteristics of ordinary christology are also brought to light. The ordinary Christology of this sample is story-shaped, avoids metaphysical speculation, highlights the affective dimension of christology, resists learning cliristological dogma and is primarily non-cognitive. It also shows that christology is at heart an on-going hermeneutical process rather than a doctrinal system, and it suggests that what matters most in christology is not right doctrine, but letting the story of Jesus have its way with us.

Cosmic Christ : creation cosmology for the 21st century from a feminist perspective

Behan, Christine January 2012 (has links)
This thesis argues that largely due to the rise of scientific cosmologies, we have lost the sense of the mystical and the sacred within creation. Not only that, we have moved away from the sense of a cosmologically based Christology that places Christ at the heart of creation as co-creator with God and who is referred to as the Cosmic Christ. The scientific cosmology of Isaac Newton informed humanity that it exists in a static, clock-work like universe, where God has become more distant and abstract, placing him outside of creation. This research therefore examines the idea of what might be described as a 'missing link' that is, the notion of a living divine cosmology. Working from within the framework of a living cosmology, Christ remains active alongside God within creation. The concept of unification between God, Christ, humanity and nature (inclusive of all creatures) and the inter-relatedness and connection that exists between them is examined throughout the work. Methodologically, as the thesis is approached from a feminist perspective, I have engaged with women's experience as a focus and from the point of view of the two mystics used I have employed textual analysis; this applies in particular to Hildegard of Bingen which leads into a field of hermeneutics in both cases. The thesis is divided into five main chapters, identifying three main themes: Cosmic Christ, apocalyptic and the sacred feminine. It addresses the notion of apocalyptic and the global ecological crisis in contemporary times where I examine the idea that humanity's behaviour is destroying creation. I consider the implications of the Christian ecological roots of the crisis and how we may move forward by looking at the writings of eco-feminists. By examining the visionary writings of twelfth century prophet and mystic Hildegard of Bingen, who believed in a living cosmology and consulting the writings of Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a Jesuit priest whose work is also cosmological, we discover crucial insights into how they understood humanity, creation and the cosmos. The synthesised components of this thesis work well together in drawing out from a feminist viewpoint what I believe to be a plausible, comprehensive and explicit blueprint for a modem day creation cosmology; one that emerges from a sense ofthe apocalyptic and addresses imbalance through recovering the sacred feminine and has the Cosmic Christ at its . heart. In placing the Cosmic Christ at the centre, this cosmology is living and loving and sacred.

Thomas Traherne in tradition : an analysis of Platonist cognition through the writings of Plotinus, Ficino, Traherne, and Hobbes

Guertin, Frank John January 2017 (has links)
Since the initial discovery of Traherne at the turn of the twentieth century, studies of his work have often neglected theological and philosophical analyses. 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. This dissertation presents Traherne as a sophisticated thinker who draws on the resources of Christian Platonism in an effort to create a philosophy for life. The argument puts him in dialogue with three other writers he knew well: Plotinus, Marsilio Ficino, and Thomas Hobbes. Plotinus and Ficino help locate the Platonist philosophical stream Traherne participates in. Thomas Hobbes helps illuminate the nascent empiricism indicative of the early modern period, a mechanical philosophy Traherne critiques in various ways. With all four voices engaged, the topics of evil, soul, sense, and memory are investigated in order to reveal the textures of a Trahernian anthropology. A portrait then emerges where Traherne opens up, for the reader, possibilities of transformation arising from ordinary experience. The argument ultimately provides a re-interpretation of innocence in view of Traherne’s Christian Platonism, showing how the concept of innocence works as a Platonic call to transformation and originary wholeness.

St. Athanasius' two treatises contra Apollinarem

Dragas, George Dion January 1983 (has links)
Since the closing years of the 19th century the two treatises of St Athanasius against Apollinaris have been regarded by some scholars as spurious. This view has been a matter of considerable debate because of its implications for the interpretation of St Athanasius' Christology. The first part of this dissertation examines the history of criticism from the end of the nineteenth century to the present, and outlines the major points of research which has to be undertaken in a re-examination of the case. Accordingly the dissertation proceeds with the examination of the External Witnesses (Part II), the Internal Evidence (Part III), the Style (Part IV), the doctrine of the Death of Christ (Part V), the doctrine of the Soul of Christ (Part VI) and finally the Christology of Athanasius and the two disputed treatises (Part VII). Particular emphasis is placed on the theological issues raised in this connection. Part V contains a re-examination of all the Athanasian texts on the Death of Christ, as well as in the two works under investigation. Part VI contains a full critical analysis of the modem scholarly debate on the Soul of Christ in Athanasius. Finally Part VII (the longest section of the dissertation) re-examines all the works of Athanasius on Christology with particular reference to the doctrine and terminology of the Incarnation. The above researches establish the conclusion that there are no fundamental problems to the traditional Athanasian paternity of the two Contra Apollinarem. The external Witnesses are many and important. The internal evidence shows that Athanasius is the possible author. The Style presents no divergencies. As for the doctrine it has been shown that it is Athanasian in outline and in many significant details.
