Description
All Christians think, but not all Christians think always as Christians. Yet when Christian A meets issue X and determines to think about it in a Christian way, what is he or she actually to do? What resources should he or she consult, and how should he or she coordinate them with each other? What spiritual factors are involved? And what, finally, is the point of Christian thinking? This course attempts to answer these questions particularly in the context of cultural pluralism and postmodernity. Lectures include:
- Introduction
- The Current Condition: Pluralism
- Enlightenment and Romanticism
- Rise of Historical Disciplines
- Postmodernism
- Four Modes of Christian Thinking
- The Needs for a New Model: Basis in Christian Ethics
- A Proposal: The Christian (Protestant) "Pentalectic"
- The Social Dimensions of Knowledge
- Epistemological Reliability
- The Hermeneutical Spiral
- Spiritual Dimensions of Knowledge
- Proposal Applied
