Rahner is famous for the identity of economic and immanent Trinity. Here he explains that this identity is what Hegel would call a speculative proposition: an identity which includes difference as its self-difference. A living sameness which produces and sublates otherness.

It’s a Good Friday to re-post this thread correcting a common—and gravely mistaken—view of Jesus’s crucifixion!

Okay now Sens. Cory Booker and Chris Coons (a Yale Divinity School grad) are literally just having a lengthy discussion of scripture and the Bible on the Senate floor right now.

Rereading DBH’s Stanton Lectures and it’s wild how absurd his caricature of my views gets as he goes!
Perhaps it’s a sort of hazing ritual.

Don’t know how to ask this delicate question, but: Has anyone written on the way critical NT scholarship, even and especially that intends to reaffirm the forgotten Jewish character of the NT, inadvertently tends to deny the dynamism and complexity of Jewish tradition post-NT or post-Talmud?

What are exemplary works that critique the doctrine of theosis from the vantage of defending “finitude” or “creatureliness,” i.e. that such a doctrine rejects the gift of finitude we’re supposed humbly to receive and/or manifests a prideful desire for mastery over finitude?

One win this semester was seeing how easily students saw the self-indulgent absurdity in one of our course texts—two scientists laying out a new origin myth based on science alone—when it claimed both “Your birth was a happy accident” and “we matter to the universe.”
