Arguably, what is most distinctive and crucial about ‘righteousness’ in Paul's epistles is its christological re-definition in texts such as 1 Cor 1:30. I contend Gregory of Nyssa's theological interpretation of the Apostle Paul is a generative resource for understanding participation in Christ and inter-relating divine and human righteousness. After sketching four crucial aspects of participation in Nyssen's broader theological vision, I explore three instances where Nyssen contemplates the meaning of righteousness and participation in 1 Cor 1:30, and explore their contribution for reading Paul today.</p>","PeriodicalId":43284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Systematic Theology","volume":"27 2","pages":"166-192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijst.12744","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143690238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theological responses to Hägglund emphasize the ‘worldly’ nature of heaven over-against overly Platonic, ‘otherworldly’ accounts of everlasting life. In contrast, I suggest Hägglund's critique fails to grapple with theocentric forms of creaturely consummation qualitatively distinct from mundane life. I critique Hägglund's ‘suspicious’ reading of Augustine and CS Lewis, and, in dialogue with Michael Rosen, suggest his account of what makes finite life meaningful participates in an early modern movement from heaven to ‘historical immortality’. Hägglund thinks heaven is not desirable, yet when interpreted in the foregoing terms, this is the precise objection I direct at his account of ‘historical immortality’.</p>","PeriodicalId":43284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Systematic Theology","volume":"27 2","pages":"248-269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijst.12739","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143690239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main theological issue is the absence of agreement on which doctrinal differences should or should not count as church-dividing. The author argues that the concept of the ‘hierarchy of truths’, introduced by Vatican II's <i>Unitatis Redintegratio</i> is a promising heuristic tool for distinguishing the doctrines that pertain to the ‘fundamental Christian faith’ and other important doctrines that do not have the same authoritative status. The author proposes that the agreement on the ‘Nicene faith’ could function as a sufficient condition for the Eucharistic communion between the two Churches on two grounds of the use of the Creed in the rites of initiation and the liturgy. The author subsequently articulates three potential objections to his proposal, responds to these objections, and finishes the paper with what could be called a ‘Nicene Formula of Reunion’. The proposed Formula includes a commitment to seeking an increasingly greater convergence on doctrinal and ecclesiastical issues on which there is continuing, although not church-dividing disagreement.</p>","PeriodicalId":43284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Systematic Theology","volume":"27 4","pages":"480-506"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145243187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
