the synod of dordt 1618 1619 and a theology of religions
In die Skriflig In Luce Verbi, 2019Co-Authors: Jaco BeyersAbstract:The Synod of Dordt (1618–1619) addressed particular theological concerns raised in a particular context. The broader context of the Synod needs to be accounted for. During the 16th and 18th century, Roman Catholic and Protestant relations in Europe were strained. During the same period, Christianity and Islam were in conflict. Europe was engaging with foreign cultures and religions exposed through a process of geographical discoveries. Within this context the question arises as to how Christianity relates to non-Christian religions. The contribution by the Theologian, Gijsbertius Voetius (1589–1676), in creating a theological position on non-Christian religions is paramount in discerning a theology of religions ( theologia religionum ). The Synod of Dordt and the contribution of Voetius in creating such a theology of religions will here be the focus of the research. Voetius suggests an openness towards non-Christian religions, as all humans are corrupt in nature and in need of redemption. God elects and saves humans from all humankind.

Magisterium, Theologians, and the need for dialogue
Horizons, 2019Co-Authors: Odd A. Salzman, Michael G. LawlerAbstract:Throughout history there have been theological tensions between official church teachers and church Theologians, creating at times a divide between both the magisterium and Theologians and also between Theologians of different methodological approaches. We offer as examples of tension the declarations by the USCCB's Committee on Doctrine (CD) on the “inadequacies in the theological methodology and conclusions” of our book and of the books of three other contemporary Theologians. These examples afford us the opportunity both to consider the theological tensions in general and to propose a solution to them. We establish some ecclesial context for dialogue with the CD, calling attention to four factors in this context: first, recent patterns of discourse between Theologians and the magisterium in statements issued against particular Theologians; second, an important change in the Catholic concept of church; third, an equally important change in how Catholic Theologians set about doing theological ethics; and fourth, the reaffirmation of the importance of conscience by the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s and, more recently, by Pope Francis.

Theologians and the magisterium: A proposal for a complementarity of charisms through dialogue
Horizons, 2009Co-Authors: Todd A. Salzman, Michael G. LawlerAbstract:ABSTRACTArchbishop Bernardin recommended that, in the relationship between magisterium and Theologians, two extremes are to be avoided. On the one hand, there should be no imperialism on the part of the magisterium, co-opting Theologians merely as mouthpieces for magisterial teachings. On the part of Theologians, on the other hand, there should be no secession from the magisterium that would give Theologians absolute autonomy and freedom from accountability. This essay analyzes the diverse charisms of magisterium and Theologians and argues that they are complementary and that both parties should relate in the dialogue of charity recommended for ecumenical discussions in Pope John Paul II's Ut Unum Sint. This dialogue of charity, the essay further argues, should not be restricted to only magisterium and Theologians but should embrace also, for upbuilding the Church, the entire People of God journeying together to the Holy Mystery.
