Heideggerian Theologies: The Pathmarks of John Macquarrie, Rudolf Bultmann, Paul Tillich, and Karl Rahner Mar 11, 2019

by Hue Woodson

( 3 )

$9.99

In light of Martin Heidegger's contextualized influence upon them, John Macquarrie, Rudolf Bultmann, Paul Tillich, and Karl Rahner engage in theologies that, in their respective tasks and scopes, venture into existential theology, following Heideggerian pathmarks toward the primordiality of being on the way to unconcealment, or "aletheia." By way of each pathmark, each existential theologian assumes a specific theological stance that utilizes a decidedly existential lens. While the former certainly grounds them fundamentally in a kind of theology, the latter, by way of Heideggerian influences, allows them to venture beyond any traditional theological framework with the use of philosophical suppositions and propositions. In an effort at explaining the relationship between humanity's "being" and God's "Being," each existential theologian examines what it means to be human, not strictly in terms of theology, but as it is tied inextricably to an understanding of the philosophy of existence: the concept of what being is.

"With in-depth historical analysis of Martin Heidegger's influence on four eminent modern theologians, Hue Woodson reveals with fascinating biographical detail the diverse ways they employed Heidegger's philosophy for their own theological purposes, pursuing different 'pathmarks' from Heidegger to one of the four dimensions of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral. Woodson's well-researched, clearly written book is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in comparative investigations of various Heideggerian trajectories for contemporary constructive theology."

A Theologian’s Guide to Heidegger Nov 5, 2019

by Hue Woodson

$9.99

A Theologian's Guide to Heidegger provides a uniquely theological introduction to the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, by focusing on not just the relationship between Heidegger and theology, or even the nature of the discourse that must occur between theological concerns and Heidegger's philosophical errands, but by precisely exploring how theology can use Heidegger's philosophy as a means of outlining the scope and task of postmodern theology. To do this, especially with the postmodern theologian in mind, this book considers the general relationship between Heidegger and theology, how Heidegger can be read theologically, while justifying why Heidegger must be read this way and defining the role that Heidegger must take in postmodern theology. This includes a careful consideration of Heidegger's early theological roots from Freiburg to Marburg by examining the content of Heidegger's lesser-known theologically-minded seminars, lectures, and talks.

"This a welcome, fresh, insightful, and remarkably clear account of how Heidegger's philosophical quest for the meaning of Being reshaped that of Christian theological thinking. Focusing on four theologians, famed Protestant as well as Roman Catholic (Rudolf Bultmann, John Macquarrie , Paul Tillich, and Karl Rahner), Woodson offers a must-read orientation to existential theology and its ongoing future."
--Jim Duke, Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University

Existential Theology: An Introduction Sep 28, 2020

by Hue Woodson

$9.99

Existential Theology: An Introduction offers a formalized and comprehensive examination of the field of existential theology, in order to distinguish it as a unique field of study and view it as a measured synthesis of the concerns of Christian existentialism, Christian humanism, and Christian philosophy with the preoccupations of proper existentialism and a series of unfolding themes from Augustine to Kierkegaard. To do this, Existential Theology attends to the field through the exploration of genres: the European traditions in French, Russian, and German schools of thought, counter-traditions in liberation, feminist, and womanist approaches, and postmodern traditions located in anthropological, political, and ethical approaches. While the cultural contexts inform how each of the selected philosopher-theologians present genres of "existential theology," other unique genres are examined in theoretical and philosophical contexts, particularly through a selected set of theologians, philosophers, thinkers, and theorists that are not generally categorized theologically. By assessing existential theology through how it manifests itself in "genres," this book brings together lesser-known figures, well-known thinkers, and figures that are not generally viewed as "existential theologians" to form a focused understanding of the question of the meaning of "existential theology" and what "existential theology" looks like in its varying forms.

"Woodson offers us a bold adventure tracking the meaning of existential theology, an elusive shape shifter whose initial themes in Christian antiquity evolved into famed French, German, and Russian modern thinkers and on to social-political correctives and leading post-humanist initiatives today. Readers of theology, philosophy, ethics, or cultural studies find here an invaluable guide."
--James O. Duke, Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University

"Existential Theology: An Introduction is an important overview and resource, aptly describing the intersection of a specifically Christian humanism, philosophy, and existentialism. Woodson's critical and constructive review of influential thinkers and theologians, including a host of active voices from Katie Cannon to Slavoj Žižek, provides a unique and fruitful perspective on what constitutes existential theology and the pervasiveness and importance of its central concerns: the being of God and the being of humanity."
--Peter L. Jones, Loyola University Chicago
