On the Meaning of 'Miracle' in Christianity
| Edizione: | Peeters, 2021 | | Collana: | Studies in Philosophical Theology |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 78,20 | | Descrizione | Miracle narratives are an essential part of nearly all religious
traditions. The importance of miracles also applies to Christianity. The
Gospels record thirty-five miracles that Jesus is said to have
performed, including twenty-three miraculous healings and nine nature
miracles (for example, stilling a storm and turning water into wine). At
the heart of Christian faith lies the story of Jesus’ resurrection from
the dead. However, the factuality of these events has been increasingly
problematised, especially since the period of the Enlightenment. In this
study, it is argued that the current debate between science-oriented
critics of miracles and their religious opponents focuses predominantly
on the question of factuality and evidence at the loss of the religious
meaning of miracles. The suggestion that science and religion would be
opposite approaches is denied in a proposal of a balanced hermeneutical
approach of miracles that does justice to scientific findings, religious
texts and experience. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 78,20 | | Descrizione | Historians of science have long considered the very idea of a
law-governed universe to be the relic of a bygone intellectual culture
that took it largely for granted that a divine lawmaker existed.
Similarly, many philosophers of science today insist that the notion of
a law of nature is fraught with implausibly theological assumptions,
preferring instead to treat them as theoretical axioms in an optimal
description of nature’s regularities, or else as patterns of causal
connections or powers that are compatible with a naturalistic conception
of reality. Yet the metaphor of lawhood has proven more difficult to
dislodge than the theistic commitments it once presupposed, not least
because it preserves the widespread intuition that the task of
scientific inquiry is not to stipulate the difference between a lawful
and an accidental regularity in nature, but to discover it. Taking its
cue from the repeated failure to find naturalistic alternatives to
divine lawmaking, this book undertakes a retrieval and reappraisal of a
high-scholastic philosophy of nature that grounds lawlike regularities
in the conceptual and causal powers of God and, having done so,
concludes that the metaphysical framework of classical theism yields a
more powerful and parsimonious explanation of the rhythms and patterns
of the natural world than its secular rivals. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Christian Theology and the Transformation of Natural Religion: From Incarnation to Sacramentality

whose work covers a vast terrain spanning methodological divisions
between philosophy, Christian theology, religious studies, the arts and
culture. Early work on the Trinity and Incarnation led to a
Newman-inspired articulation of Scripture as tradition, and, related to
this, the exploration of tradition as revelation with reference to a
wide range of human experience. Moving from materially-mediated divine
presence to culturally-mediated revelation, Brown’s phenomenology of
religious experience amounts to a transformed natural religion along
sacramental lines. Essays in this volume consider Brown’s wide ranging
and generative contributions in three parts: 1) Reason, Faith &
Tradition, 2) Incarnation & Trinity, and 3) Sacramentality & the Arts,
with a concluding response from Brown himself that addresses ‘religious
experience and revelation’, as well as ‘secular culture and religious
distinctiveness’. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 47,15 | | Descrizione | Assuming that there is an all-powerful, all-knowing, perfectly good God
who seeks a loving relationship with all humans, it is puzzling that
certain people experience that God seems to hide. It is often argued
that this fact of ‘divine hiding’ renders it improbable that God exists.
In this study, Francis Jonbäck defends the view that it would not be
surprising if divine hiding were necessary to realise greater goods or
to avoid worse evils that are beyond our ken, in which case one is not
justified in saying that divine hiding renders it improbable that God
exists.
He goes on to argue that it is difficult to explain why God hides and
that – although believers do not have a probabilistic problem with
believing in a God who seems to hide – there might be an
existential or practical problem, in particular for non-believers, when
seeking a God who seems to hide. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

John Henry Newman's Theology of History

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 89,70 | | Descrizione | This monograph delineates John Henry Newman’s ‘theology of history’,
which refers to his theological understanding, or ‘view’, of history
that one finds pervading his work like a rich atmosphere. Newman’s view
led to his crafting of provisional theories that not only were more
historically conscious, but also could support and promote revealed
religion and religious epistemology in the present. This project traces
these developing theories and the presuppositions on which they rested,
as well as distills from them Newman’s ‘theological imaginary’, which
can be understood as his ‘idea’ of the church, an idea which he believed
must become manifest in the world. Newman’s theology of history is thus
inextricably bound up with the realization of Christianity in its
authentic ecclesial manifestation. This monograph highlights the import
of Newman’s theology of history for our own theological ‘imaginaries’ in
the present, post-Vatican II context, ultimately developing an original
‘relational-developmental model of doctrine’. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

element of religious faith in contemporary analytic theistic philosophy
of religion. The background of the question is the variety of opinions
regarding the voluntariness or involuntariness of religious faith. The
study examines different propositional attitudes, such as belief, hope,
and acceptance, which are taken to be involved in the cognitive aspect
of religious faith. Another central theme concerns the practical aspect
of religious faith and the attitudes it involves. Questions having to do
with the emotional and evaluative aspects of religious faith are also
touched upon. In addition, certain traditional theological topics
pertaining to voluntariness of faith, namely, topics having to do with
such notions as merit of faith and grace, are addressed. Apart from the
critical evaluation, this study develops one model of faith, that is,
faith as propositional hope. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

breadth of his erudition, has been underappreciated as a philosophical
theologian. This book redresses this by showing how the spiritual senses
became an essential tool for responding to early modern developments in
philosophy, science, and religion for Smith. Through a close reading of
the Select Discourses (1660) it is shown how Smith’s theories of
theological knowledge, method, and prophecy as well as his prescriptive
account of Christian piety rely on his spiritual aesthetics. Smith
offers a coherent system with intellectual intuition informing natural
theology and revelation supplemented by spiritual perception via the
imagination too. The central uniting feature of Smith’s philosophical
theology is thus ‘spiritual sensation’ broadly construed. The book
closes with proposals for research on Smith’s influence on the accounts
of the spiritual senses developed by significant later figures including
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) and John Wesley (1703-1791). | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 85,10 | | Descrizione | Religious statements can be true or false, and are not merely arbitrary
or personally meaningful. That is the core thesis of this work in
pragmatist philosophy of religion. Other contemporary approaches are
deficient, as they have problematic ways of understanding truth and
experience. The argument in this study draws on Hilary Putnam's work in
such fields as ethics, epistemology, philosophy of language and
philosophy of mind. Influenced by Ludwig Wittgenstein, however, Putnam
doesn't fully acknowledge how religious statements, similar to other
statements, depend on an interaction of our language and the world. This
would make religious truth a matter of convention. Drawing on another
source of inspiration for Putnam, William James, Niek Brunsveld shows
how religious claims can have truth value. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

naturalism - from scientific naturalism to religious naturalism. What
are the claims of naturalism apart from its denial of 'the
supernatural'? What are the distinctive modes of thought within
contemporary religious naturalism? Some argue for a science-based
worldview, others for a cosmic view of reality that includes human
engagement and religious commitment - with or without God-talk. The book
shows how an appeal to what is beyond empirically validated facts
resurfaces within most varieties of naturalism. But it also points to
the fact that immanentist frameworks are widely presupposed among
contemporary theologians who do not describe themselves as
'naturalists'. Rival positions and conflicts of interpretations emerge
as to the question of transcendence and the Beyond, and different
philosophical theologies are at work - from the strict denial of theism
to ground-of-being-theisms to classic and alternative views of the
divine. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

The Christian Platonism of Thomas Jackson

Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 81,65 | | Descrizione | Although Thomas Jackson (1579-1640) is recognized by scholars as the
most important theologian of the Laudian church, hitherto there has been
no comprehensive study of his philosophical theology. The reason for
Jackson's neglect is that scholars have been puzzled by the sources,
character and influence of his Christian Platonism. From a close and
comprehensive reading of his magnum opus - a massive twelve book
commentary on the Apostles' Creed - this book shows how Jackson regards
the Platonic tradition as an essential and perennial resource for the
Christian theologian, anticipating and informing central aspects of
Christian theological speculation and belief, given by divine providence
to help him interpret and defend his creed. Special attention is paid to
the influence of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464) on Jackson, an important
moment in the history of thought since the German cardinal is generally
thought to have been without intellectual successors in the early modern
period. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

in a belief forming situation, sometimes reasonably disagree about
whether to believe and why. This study argues that such disagreements
are possible, and that some purportedly fully informed reasonable
disagreements are genuine, including cases involving disagreement about
which beliefs about God are reasonably taken to be properly basic, given
the facts of religious diversity and cases in which phenomenologically
similar religious experiences properly ground a variety of religious
beliefs. Drawing on the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, it also argues that
Tradition-Based Perspectivalism – roughly, the view that foundational
beliefs about what is reasonable to believe and why, are tradition-based
and perspectival in nature, originating in and appropriately grounded
only from the perspective of some tradition of inquiry or other – is
true, and that its truth provides additional support for the claim that
fully informed reasonable disagreement actually occurs. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

posing a fundamental challenge for religious belief, also suggest new
ways of understanding how people conceptualize God and make theological
inferences. This book, inspired by that research and attentive to the
distinctive insights of Christian theology, elaborates an innovative
explanation of God-talk, better able to credibly address confusion and
controversies that trouble the church, academic theology, and broader
culture. The first part analyzes both cognitive linguistics’ challenge
to standard theological depictions of metaphorical, analogous, symbolic,
and literal language, and the discipline’s promise for providing a more
satisfactory account. The second half examines six case studies to
illustrate how clarifying the conceptual mapping in God-talk and
theological inferences provides a powerful tool for advancing religious
understanding. The illustrations include the hypothesis that religion is
an epiphenomenon of evolution, the so-called “new atheism,” Black
theology, and controversies between theologians and Church authorities.

Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 59,80 | | Descrizione | Austin Farrer (1904-1968), Warden of Keble College, Oxford, was a
remarkably creative and significant figure in twentieth-century
theology. Robert MacSwain argues that one explanation for Farrer’s
relative obscurity is that most commentators have focused on his
metaphysics, and in particular on Finite and Infinite (1943), his
monumental treatise of ‘rational theology’. By contrast, MacSwain
proposes an epistemological analysis that takes seriously the neglected
but crucial theme of fideism in Farrer’s thought. MacSwain charts the
development of Farrer’s thinking on the proper relation between faith
and reason from 1924 to 1968—including his engagements with Karl Barth,
logical positivism, Thomism, and Wittgensteinian philosophy—and offers a
reading of Farrer that resonates with contemporary religious
epistemology and the growing focus on spiritual praxis. The final
chapter considers Farrer’s provocative claim that the logical paradoxes
of religious belief are ‘solved by sacrifice’ in the lives of those whom
we recognise as ‘saints’: as Farrer puts it, ‘Such a life, then, is
evidence, and what other evidence could you hope to find?’ | Aggiungi al Carrello |

metaphysics at the closure of metaphysics by thinking the impossible
possibility of metaphysics. In this site of the closure of metaphysics
and the turn to language, the grammar of faith is discovered as the
grammar of language or writing (grammatology). The logic or grammatology
of writing and thus of reality (context) is revealed, not contra to
philosophy or metaphysics, but when thinking through metaphysics to its
end (Heidegger) or closure (Derrida), and there in that site the grammar
of faith is revealed as the grammar of texts and contexts and in such a
site “God” is a good name to save and hence the possibility of
postmetaphysical God-talk.
The book concludes with three oblique offerings with regard to such
postmetaphysical God-talk, namely a construction of an image,
theopoetics and finally holy folly in response to the limitations and
possibilities of postmetaphysical God-talk in the light of the
conversation between Heidegger, Levinas and Derrida. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

postmodern, postsecular and religiously pluralized Western culture is
extremely broad. Is it possible to trace the development, the shifts,
breaches and patterns of religious and spiritual transcendence in this
deeply diversified context? In this volume, a heuristic model of four
types of transcendence is proposed and discussed. The four types are
immanent transcendence, radical transcendence, radical immanence and
transcendence as alterity. Of each type two examples from contemporary
cultural discourses, ranging from theology and philosophy to popular
culture are presented and the viability of the model as such is
critically assessed. The pairs of examples show how different kinds of
content are given to the same type. By illuminating this dialectic
between formal categories of notions of transcendence and their specific
content in various areas of culture, the book can aid further
exploration of the preconditions, possibilities, difficulties and
limitations of relating to and expressing (a) sense(s) of transcendence
within a postmodern world. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 59,80 | | Descrizione | Religious feeling lies at the heart of Schleiermacher's theology. In his
earliest monograph, the Speeches, he famously writes that
"religion's essence is neither thinking nor acting but intuition and
feeling." He portrays religious feeling as an eternal and universal state
of consciousness, which cannot be generated by individuals, the world or
anything within it, but must have a transcendent "whence", namely God. Yet
his critics have often missed this point, assuming that his emphasis on
feeling makes religion transitory and individualistic. This
misinterpretation is furthered by philosophical, psychological,
anthropological and popular understandings of feeling, which characterise
emotions as selfish and moods as inward looking.This book traces
the development of Schleiermacher's concept of feeling, comparing the
first edition of the Speeches with his later works, especially The
Christian Faith. It points to a fundamental continuity in
Schleiermacher's stance, despite the increasing orthodoxy of his language,
and his growing interest in the collective feeling of the religious
community. Taking account of recent developments in psychology and
philosophy, this study sheds light on the elements of Schleiermacher's
account that are tenable today, clearing the way for future reappraisals
of his theological project. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
