Divine action, Christ and the doctrine of God : the trinitarian grammar of Adolf Schlatter's theology
No full textThis dissertation constitutes an examination of the inner-theological basis of Adolf
Schlatter's theology which, as recent research has established, needs to be understood in
terms of a theology of God's works. The foundation of Schlatter's theology is recon-
structed by means of a critical outline and assessment of three dogmatic concepts,
namely: a) the relation between God and the world; b) the ground and mode of God's
agency in, and towards, the world; c) the structure of God's agency and works.
I argue that the doctrine of the Trinity constitutes the ontological basis for Schlat-
ter's concept of divine action. It is seen that Schlatter relates God's triune being ad intra
and God's triune economy ad extra, through the notion of love. This analogia caritatis
assumes the form of an analogia operationis which gives rise to an analogia relationis.
Special attention is devoted in this context, first, to the role which Schlatter ascribes to
the Holy Spirit and, second, to the Christocentricity of Schlatter's approach. At decisive
points in this study, attention is drawn to parallels between Schlatter's thought and the
contemporary trinitarian theology of Wolfhart Pannenberg, Colin Gunton, Christoph
Schwebel and others.
In the light of the trinitarian depth-structures of Schlatter's theology of divine ac-
tion, an effort is made to explicate his theology of God's works as an attempt to model a
theology in methodological obedience to God's triune economy. Fundamental aspects of
Schlatter's approach are briefly reconsidered from a trinitarian perspective. What the
present study has found itself obliged to offer constitutes, in essence, a new reading of
Schlatter's dogmatics, conceived, in effect, as an applied trinitarian theology

Towards a Christian Philosophy
No full textAuthor did not sign the LAC Non-Exclusive License form.The relationship between philosophy and Christianity has, of course, a long history, as do the discussions of that relationship. My own position is not dissimilar to that of many of the early Church Fathers, though of course that position must be elaborated differently for various historical and personal reasons, and hopefully enriched by attention to the history of Western philosophy. As with all such relations, one's understanding of this relation has a lot to do with one's understanding of the terms involved. To promote the possibility of "Christian philosophy" is also to comment on that "and" which might be understood to relate two otherwise distinct and irreconcilable terms. In the end I claim this "and" must be understood as that "love" which defines philosophy as the "love of wisdom" (and finally, the wisdom of love), and does so in terms which (almost) merge-with the surprising assistance of such thinkers as Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Paul Ricoeur-with those of the Church Fathers cited. On the one hand, I intend nothing but the historical, orthodox, and catholic understanding of Christianity, especially with regard to the central figure of Jesus the Christ, the Trinitarian God whom He embodies, represents, and reveals, and the Scriptures given as The Bible. On the other hand, I present the specifically philosophical pertinence of this unique Person as such emerges from the texts of the "philosophers" considered, and in a manner which I claim does not force the issue by reading into their texts what is not there. Attending to a (Christian) philosophical reflection on (Christian) philosophy also offers elaborations of inherited doctrines, both Christian and philosophical, including a way to read and think unique to the outcome. Such is the adventure of this current work

The Christian Right and US Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century
Full text linkThe thesis discusses the role of the Christian Right in the US foreign policy decision making process. The research revealed that the Christian Right has long been fascinated with some international issues in general and US foreign policy in particular. The Christian Right’s interest in international issues increased markedly during years of the George W. Bush presidency. It successfully widened its activities from domestic social conservative issues to foreign policy issues by participating in, articulating and lobbying for its religious version of American foreign policy. In assessing the role of the Christian Right in US foreign policy making, this dissertation examines three aspects of US foreign policy, namely Israel, international religious freedom and global humanitarianism. Based on these aspects, the Christian Right is seen as skilled in framing and defining issues. The Christian Right seems effective in selecting and prioritizing international issues that have a reasonable chance of being selected by foreign policy decision makers, especially in Congress. Moreover, the Christian Right has shown its maturity in seeking engagement and cooperation with other organizations, secular and religious, in order to advance its international goals. Finally, in pursuing and conveying its international agenda, the Christian Right has adopted a more moderate and less overtly religious approach. Instead of using its traditional religious rhetoric, the Christian Right has successfully projected its foreign policy preferences into the conventional realist discourse of American foreign policy that is largely based on the objective of national interest and national security. Nevertheless, this study does not, in any way, conclude that the Christian Right was able to influence or determine the direction of US foreign policy and its outcomes; however, it does suggest that the Christian Right did contribute and have an impact on the formulation of some US foreign policy. As such, the research contends that the role of the Christian Right is similar to other interest group lobbies and that its perceived influence on US foreign policy should not be exaggerated. Finally, the research suggests that the emergence of the Christian Right as an actor in asserting its global agenda through US foreign policy can possibly provide an example of how religious beliefs and values can become a potential source of “soft power”. Together with the “climate of opinion” of the American public during the Bush administration, the “soft power” at domestic level could serve as a valuable new explanatory variable in understanding how the US foreign policy was formulated in the early 21st century
