Document Details : Title: Om het gesprek verder te zetten Subtitle: Bedenkingen over christologie, soteriologie, pneumatologie en eschatologie Author(s): DEPOORTERE, Frederiek Journal: Tijdschrift voor Theologie Volume: 53 Issue: 3 Date: 2013 Pages: 243-252 DOI: 10.2143/TVT.53.3.3203324 Abstract : This article is a review of the chapters from C. van der Kooi and G. van den Brink’s Christelijke Dogmatiek that deal with Christology, soteriology, pneumatology and eschatology (chapters 10, 11, 12, and 16 respectively). The line of reasoning of each individual chapter is presented, followed by a critical perspective on the synthesis offered by Van der Kooi and Van den Brink which aims to be the starting point for further theological discussion. The perspectives introduced are the following: the trauma of Auschwitz (in the discussion of the chapter on Christology), contemporary theological critiques of the idea of atonement in terms of satisfaction (in the discussion of the chapter on soteriology), the current ecological crisis (in the discussion of the chapter on pneumatology) and the challenge of the abundance of suffering in the world and in history (in the discussion of the chapter on eschatology). By way of conclusion, this article considers whether Van der Kooi and Van den Brink may have been rather too ambitious with their Christelijke Dogmatiek and promised more than they were able to deliver. |
