| |
| |
| A Revisionist Model for Contemporary Theology | |
| |
| |
| First Thesis: The two principal sources for theology are Christian texts and common human experience and language | |
| |
| |
| Second Thesis: The theological task will involve a critical correlation of the results of the investigations of the two sources of theology | |
| |
| |
| Third Thesis: The principal method of investigation of the source "common human experience and language" can be described as a phenomenology of the "religious dimension" present in everyday and scientific experience and language. x: Blessed Rage for Order | |
| |
| |
| Fourth Thesis: The principal method of investigation of the source "the Christian tradition" can be described as an historical and hermeneutical investigation of classical Christian texts | |
| |
| |
| Fifth thesis: To determine the truth-status of the results of one's investigation into the meaning of both common human experience and Christian texts, the theologian should employ an explicitly transcendental or metaphysical mode of reflection. | |
