Summary

InBlessed Rage for Order,David Tracy examines the cultural context in which theological pluralism emerged. Analyzing orthodox, liberal, neo-orthodox, and radical models of theology, Tracy formulates a new 'revisionist' model. He considers which methods promise the most certain results for a revisionist theology and applies his model to the principal questions in contemporary theology, including the meanings of religion, theism, and of christology.

A Revisionist Model for Contemporary Theology

First Thesis: The two principal sources for theology are Christian texts and common human experience and language.

(2)

Second Thesis: The theological task will involve a critical correlation of the results of the investigations of the two sources of theology

(2)

Third Thesis: The principal method of investigation of the source ``common human experience and language'' can be described as a phenomenology of the ``religious dimension'' present in everyday and scientific experience and language.

(2)

Fourth Thesis: The principal method of investigation of the source ``the Christian tradition'' can be described as an historical and hermeneutical investigation of classical Christian texts.

(3)

Fifth thesis: To determine the truth-status of the results of one's investigation into the meaning of both common human experience and Christian texts, the theologian should employ an explicitly transcendental or metaphysical mode of reflection.
