Document Details : Title: Postmodern Sacramento-Theology Subtitle: Retelling the Christian Story Author(s): BOEVE, L. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 74 Issue: 4 Date: Dec. 1998 Pages: 326-343 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.74.4.504803 Abstract : The neologism “postmodern sacramento-theology” is meant to indicate the basic sacramental structure of religious life, thinking and activity as a point of departure for theology. From this contribution, one should not expect a “sacramental theology” or a “theology of the sacraments” but a specific perspective from which to theologise as such. Every expression about God, whether in word or deed, needs to be called sacramental and thus submitted to sacramento-theological reflection to the degree that it is inscribed in, and realises the mutual involvement of human beings and God. Thus considered, every theology is sacramento-theology, and sacramentology is no longer only, or mainly, a single theological discipline, but an essential feature of the fundamental or systematic theology to be set forth momentarily. |
