Document Details : Title: Het lot van de niet-ervaring Subtitle: Jean-Yves Lacoste en het theologische paradigma van de relationaliteit Author(s): SCHRIJVERS, Joeri Journal: Tijdschrift voor Theologie Volume: 49 Issue: 2 Date: 2009 Pages: 154-172 DOI: 10.2143/TVT.49.2.3203466 Abstract : This article sketches the evolution in Jean-Yves Lacoste’s recent work. In his most recent works, i.e. Présence et parousie (2006) and La phénoménalité de Dieu (2008), Lacoste adds corrections to the view of faith as non-experience as presented in Expérience et Absolu (1994). For Lacoste, faith no longer suffers from not experiencing God. Rather, faith in these works has become more a home, a place of peace and joyful participation in knowing about God. This article also seeks to situate Lacoste’s evolution in the paradigm that seems to dominate theology today, i.e. the overemphasis of an insufficiently considered rationality. Elements of this turn to rationality, of which Lacoste’s work seems to be a part, can be found in very different theologies. The article’s notes refer to Jean-Luc Marion and the theology of ‘radical orthodoxy’. The conclusion offers alternatives that show that it is not necessary to subscribe to this rationality paradigm. Here again, Jean-Yves Lacoste’s work is used to develop this alternative. His relaxation of non-experience is counterposed to a radical non-experience that should be a first step toward a theology of the unredeemed. |
