Socrates, Nicodemus, and Zacchaeus: Kierkegaard and Halík on conversion and offense
ABSTRACT This paper examines Tomáš Halík’s Patience With God: The Story of Zacchaeus Continuing in Us in light of Kierkegaard’s insistence upon conversion. Against forms of Christianity which would understand conversion as issuing, of necessity, from a rigorous thinking-through of objective proofs or of the ends of human desire, Kierkegaard insists upon a conversion that passes through offense at the God-man’s scandalous invitation. Though Halík approvingly cites Kierkegaard’s insistence upon a faith worked out in fear and trembling, and, like Kierkegaard, sees contemporaneity with Christ as possible only because of Jesus’ own experience of God-forsakenness, deep differences remain – especially with regard to the necessity of consciousness of sin. This paper will thus consider whether Halík’s ‘patience’ dulls the passion of faith and obscures the decisiveness of the moment, and whether Halík’s portrayal of Christian responsibility as solidarity leads not to Zacchaeus or to Socrates, but to Nicodemus.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Philosophy and Theology publishes scholarly articles and reviews that concern the intersection between philosophy and theology. It aims to stimulate the creative discussion between various traditions, for example the analytical and the continental traditions. Articles should exhibit high-level scholarship but should be readable for those coming from other philosophical traditions. Fields of interest are: philosophy, especially philosophy of religion, metaphysics, and philosophical ethics, and systematic theology, for example fundamental theology, dogmatic and moral theology. Contributions focusing on the history of these disciplines are also welcome, especially when they are relevant to contemporary discussions.
