Document Details : Title: Theology with a Human Face Author(s): JOVIC, Rastko Journal: Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Volume: 69 Issue: 1-4 Date: 2017 Pages: 167-180 DOI: 10.2143/JECS.69.1.3214956 Abstract : This paper starts from the fact that every theology is contextual and that even passive modes of theology are informed by the context. Thus the issue at stake is rather creativity than contextuality. Has Orthodox theology drifted into ‘docetism’ by uncritically ignoring history, escaping from the present, and becoming irrelevant to society? Pleading for a Theology with a Human Face, the author discusses the credibility of the church by emphasizing that its message depends on its capacity to free itself from structures that are more reflexive of feudal societies than the kingdom of God. |
