My goal is to offer some of Luther’s reflections on the passage in John’s Gospel in which Jesus addresses his disciples no longer as servants, but as friends. They occur in a sermonic commentary on the Johannine Farewell Discourse compiled in 1537. In expounding on friendship with Christ, with its concomitant duty to keep the command of love, Luther here expresses his deep conviction that faith in Christ is concretely indistinguishable from identification with the church-community. The Christ who elects his own and calls them his friends is essentially a totus Christus, that is, simultaneously object of saving faith and Spirit-filled, embodied sacramental community.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"24 1","pages":"117 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78736799","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}

Levinas and Marion on Law and Freedom: Toward a new dialectical theology of justice 1 列维纳斯和马里恩论法律与自由:走向一种新的辩证正义神学

Wallenfang","doi":"10.1177/1030570X17698506","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1030570X17698506","url":null,"abstract":"There is a perennial ambiguity within the relationship between law and human freedom. Does law inherently promote freedom or restrict it? Emmanuel Levinas (1906–95) proposes that law – precisely Torah – is the gateway of freedom to the degree that law attests to the obligatory summons to responsibility for the other. In his 1964 Talmudic lecture entitled, ‘The Temptation of Temptation’, Levinas presents the paradoxical beginning of freedom in ‘a non-freedom which, far from being slavery or childhood, is a beyond-freedom…overcoming the temptation of evil by avoiding the temptation of temptation’. However, Levinas’s turn to Torah is not enough. His ethical phenomenology of proclamation must be paired with a contemplative phenomenology of manifestation so as not to engender action without considering what exactly gives itself to act upon. Enter Jean-Luc Marion (1946–). While Levinas’s attention to the call of the other opens the ears to ethical exigency, Marion’s attention to givenness opens the eyes to contemplative recognition of phenomena as they give themselves by themselves. An adequate assessment of the relationship between law and freedom requires a holistic phenomenology rooted in the polarity between ethics and givenness. The paradoxical relationship between law and freedom can be comprehended clearly only through a combined methodology which harnesses the fruitful tension between metaphysics and phenomenology. This article traces these dialectical relationships in method in order to account for the paradoxical relationship between law and freedom. Altogether, a move toward a new dialectical theology will be made that metes out justice to God, to humanity, and to the entire cosmos.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"14 1","pages":"71 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74486345","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}

My proposal is that Luther's interpretation of scripture and tradition is often more dynamic than it has been remembered, and has something to offer a critical theological hermeneutics. Luther might have spoken about sola scriptura, but he generally did not practise it. Rather, he drew upon the tradition, and he insisted on the need to relate an interpretation of scripture to the reality of the present hearer. He spoke of scripture alone when he was at his most defensive and polemical, and when addressing the doctrinal question about the limits of the church's teaching authority over scripture's authority. Certainly, Luther put scripture first and last, but what I suggest is the most telling characteristic of his hermeneutic is that he emphasized the nature of the gospel as a living word in distinction from the written text.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"80 1","pages":"21 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75947670","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}

The extraordinary heterogeneous nature of FBOs is bewildering, and typologies and other methods have been developed to try and sub-categorize them or to distil their defining characteristics. This article looks at how useful some of those attempts are for analytical purposes. Taking data from a detailed case study of eight World Vision offices around the globe, it was possible to go back and test the robustness of some of these methods. Typologies were inadequate because they forced an approximation or tried to plot behaviours in a linear way. Some approaches could not deal with the diversity of the contexts. Most especially, however, the study highlights that the failure to take account of the underlying theological premise of the FBOs can produce an anomalous picture. The article is cautious about methods which are overt measures of religiosity and favours the quadrant proposed by Vanderwoerd. This approach takes account of the theological outlook of those FBOs that are more comfortable in working with open systems.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"22 1","pages":"57 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83824776","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}

Evelyn Underhill argues they are ‘two sides of a greater whole’ and that experiential engagement with the relational reality of the Atonement is essential to gain a fuller understanding. Simply engaging intellectually with the Atonement means the richness of the concept is reduced and the mystery is destroyed. The influence of Baron Friedrich von Hügel on Underhill’s spiritual formation is described before outlining Underhill’s mystical encounters with Christ and her growth in worship. The proper response to the Atonement is not dry, theoretical, lifeless argument, but rather vibrant adoration and wonder. In our fast-paced, contemporary world, the praying theologian who engages experientially with the reality of theological concepts is what is most needed in theological engagement.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"43 1","pages":"111 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90977026","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}

Thomas Hobbes and Baruch Spinoza went to lengths to reject the exclusivist argument. Republican exclusivism had some impact in the English Revolution, and was also an influence in the American Revolution, mainly through the advocacy of Thomas Paine. British-American models of government, incorporating the ‘republican’ dimension in different ways, have subsequently had a significant influence in many parts of the world. Whether republican exclusivism has been the major theme in modern political thought is more debatable; it is contended that social contract theory in various forms has been more significant.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"12 1","pages":"45 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75886860","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}

Two symptomatic texts are discussed: the first temple vision (Ezek 8–11) and the vision of the valley of bones (Ezek 37:1–14). From Ezek 8–11, the vision of the defiled temple, it becomes evident that the relationship between YHWH and Israel is in a crisis beyond repair; death and destruction are the consequences. The reality of death is the starting point of 37:1–14. The vision demonstrates YHWH’s ability and willingness to restore life even to the dry, scattered bones and, thus, also to Israel as the people of YHWH. For the author(s) of these texts, the initiative for destruction lies on the human side first; the initiative for restoration lies with God alone. What dies and is resurrected is the relationship between God and God’s people. Its ‘death’ becomes a threat to the identity of both. Its ‘re-creation’ is not an act of mercy but an act of power, safeguarding YHWH’s identity as well as Israel’s. Ezekiel’s contribution to overcoming the crisis of the Babylonian exile is not to be underestimated. These texts’ potential to encourage hope is greater than commonly granted and they may hold a message also for our times.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"1 1","pages":"243 - 255"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83137673","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}

The article argues that, deep approaches to learning offer a vision for ecclesial learning that will draw from the many and varied contexts where diversity is increasingly our experience. Creative but transformative learning that is ‘world involving’ precisely because it is ‘God involving’ and vice versa, can help the church mirror approaches to mission that reflect discipleship and mission in the name of the Triune God.","PeriodicalId":82256,"journal":{"name":"Pacifica : journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity","volume":"17 1","pages":"290 - 307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82805437","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}
