Vanhoozer’s Remythologizing Theology and the SAET’s Senior Theological Consultant

Tweet

Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer of Wheaton Graduate School has graciously agreed to serve as the Senior Theological Consultant for the SAET’s 2010/2011 Symposium schedule. We’ll be presenting papers on the theme of “Identity Formation in the Culture, Church and Scriptures.” We are thrilled to have Dr. Vanhoozer’s participation.

In related news, Vanhoozer has just released his (self-professed) first major work of theology, Remythologizing Theology: Divine Action, Passion and Authorship (Cambridge University Press, 2010). Vanhoozer describes his aim for the book:

For years I’ve felt that the doctrine of God was a relatively weak spot in evangelical theology. Then open theism happened and my suspicions were confirmed. One major aim, then, is to provide a retooling of classical theism that takes into account the concerns of open theists – in particular, the integrity of God’s loving relationship to the world – while simultaneously maintaining what I take to be the correct Reformed emphasis on divine sovereignty. Another aim is to scrutinize the oft-heard claim in contemporary theology that God’s love entails divine suffering.

The above excerpt is from an interview conducted by Guy Davies. See Davies’ site, The Exiled Preacher for the rest of the interview.

About the SAET Blog

Welcome to the SAET blog. Herein you will find the theological/pastoral ramblings of the Rev. Matthew Mason, the good Doctor Jason Hood, and Pastor Gerald Hiestand. All three write under the premise that theology and the pastorate belong together, and that (at least some) pastors must once again function as writing theologians for the wider church, for the ecclesial renewal of theology and the theological renewal of the church.
