In response to Mullins’ criticisms, clarifications are offered with regard to both the role of Hauerwas’ notion in Yong’s theology and the theological basis for claims regarding the persistence of the marks of impairment in the resurrection body.","PeriodicalId":363294,"journal":{"name":"Ars Disputandi","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129367633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Thinking in Tongues: Pentecostal Contributions to Christian Philosophy","authors":"P. Versteeg","doi":"10.1080/15665399.2012.10820065","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15665399.2012.10820065","url":null,"abstract":"Thinking in Tongues by James K. Smith presents pentecostal philosophy as an inclusive, playful and liminal way of believing and thinking. Although it sometimes reads as a pentecostal dogmatics, Smith has written a book which is more than just a Pentecostal take on Christian philosophy but rather a radically new way of practicing Christian thought. Smith’s pentecostal philosophy follows Plantinga’s idea of a Christian philosophy as something that is more than apologetics, but which includes more than a secular philosophical agenda. Characteristic for this approach is the idea that there is no real distinction between pentecostal spirituality and pentecostal philosophy. Pentecostal philosophy should be inspired by spirituality – pentecostal thinking starts with and centers on pentecostal worship. ‘A pentecostal philosophy will not simply be a detached philosophical reflection on charismatic phenomena; it will be a charismatic reflection on philosophical questions’ (16). However, it would be a mistake to see the foundation of this charismatic reflection in a set of key doctrines. Pentecostal assumptions for philosophy, according to Smith, must be located in practices rather than doctrine. This pentecostal worldview without a capital – to distinguish it as particular style of Christian belief and practice rather than a denomination – has five key aspects that are shared by pentecostal Christians across the globe. It is radically open to God; it includes an enchanted theology of creation and culture; is is a non-dualist affirmation of materiality; its epistemology is affective and narrative; and it has an eschatological orientation to mission and justice. In Chapter 2, these key aspects are further elaborated. Pentecost, says Smith, is a hermeneutic. Pentecostal philosophy is based on pentecostal spirituality, which is not a compartmentalized worldview but a construal of the world. It is not just about speaking in tongues but about thinking in tongues as well. The pentecostal worldview is no set of doctrines but ‘a passional orientation that governs how one sees, inhabits, and engages the world’ (27). The passional orientation is related to Charles Taylor’s social imaginary (and Amos Yong’s ‘pneumatological imagination’), which is ‘a tacit, affective understanding of the world that constitutes the “background” of our being and doing’ (29). The affective and aesthetic dimension of this concept are continuously presented as typical for the pentecostal worldview and practice. Chapter 3 describes pentecostal epistemology as","PeriodicalId":363294,"journal":{"name":"Ars Disputandi","volume":"417 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124182737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Older theories which claim that the general emergence of a post-religious secularism is unavoidable have become problematic, and thus the post-secular question what to make of religion re-enters the scene. (17f) In this new situation, Höhn extensively reflects upon ‘the processes in contemporary culture that run in different directions, and thus insert post-religious as well as post-secular impulses into it.’ (16) His book assesses the inner tensions that occur when contemporary philosophy begins to (re)-investigate the status of religious rites and creeds (in view of their truth content, as well as their practical and political effects). Firstly, religion cannot avoid to be seriously scrutinized: ‘What comes to light in a philosophical elucidation of religious practices and beliefs does often proof their “untrueness,” their illusionary and projective status.’ (11) This first – general but still rather abstract – assessment defines, one could say, the (post-)Feuerbachian environment in which most philosophical re-readings of religion are located today (in dominant analytic, pragmatic, post-hermeneutic, or postmodern discourses that tend to re-affirm, at least indirectly, elements of a ‘projection theory,’ often without explicitly reconstructing the accompanying benign claim of Feuerbach that religion, in its best expressions, is valid insofar as it contains – distorted by alienation, however – the images of mankind’s own ideals).

This assumption has been questioned in a similar way by the approaches of Alasdair MacIntyre and John Dewey, who agree that before we can make adequate sense of man’s rationality, we have to draw attention to animality as the common trait of human and nonhuman living beings. However, while MacIntyre takes human dependence to show ‘why human beings need the virtues,’ Dewey considers it as a starting point to argue for the necessity of what he calls ‘natural piety.’ In my paper I shall elaborate some implications of this di_erence, guided by the question whether Dewey’s answer contributes to a re-invention of religious categories into the naturalistic view on rationality and morality.","PeriodicalId":363294,"journal":{"name":"Ars Disputandi","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124067107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It therefore cannot be taught in public schools. But the important philosophical question is not whether ID invokes a supernatural agent; it is whether it meets the standards we expect of any explanation in the sciences. More generally, could any proposed theistic explanation – one that invokes the deity of classical theism – meet those standards? Could it be both scientific and religious?

Del tre handler om den systematiske teologis kilder: Skriften, fornuften og erfaringen. Sidst består del fire af tre kritiske artikler. Introduktionen af Michael Rea er god introduktion til den analytiske teologi og de vigtigste indvendinger mod den. Hvad er analytisk filosofi? Ifølge Rea henviser det til en bestemt måde at bedrive filosofi på. Det involverer en bestemt retorisk stil, en række fælles ambitioner, et teknisk ordforråd under stadig udvikling og en tendens til at arbejde med filosofiske spørgsmål i dialog med en bestemt gruppe litteratur (s. 3). Analytisk teologi er at anvende denne filosofiske metode på teologiske emner og problemer. Den analytiske filosofi har to ambitioner, der deles af den analytiske teologi. For det første søger den at identificere omfanget af og grænserne for vores evne til at opnå viden om verden.
