„Pantoiosemie“: der vielfache Schriftsinn – zur Interpretation von Bibeltexten by Winfried Ulrich

Theology Goes Public: Richard Shaull’s Dialogue with Public Issues, Social Sciences, and Ecumenism in “The New Revolutionary Mood in Latin America” (1962) by Jefferson Zeferino, Rudolf von Sinner

“…Public issues, ecumenism—through dialogue and cooperation between Protestants and Catholics—and interdisciplinary theological approaches only became current concerns in the mid-twentieth century, especially with liberation theologies—both Protestant and Catholic. Before that, however, one of the authors who was able to grasp these dimensions in his theological endeavour was Richard Shaull, who, through his theological method, opened a dialogue with the social sciences in order to interpret the reality in which he placed Christian action and mission. …”

Teologie en Kerkreg: Wat word van die Heilige Gees in ons teologie en in die Kerkreg? by Johannes Smit

“…The point of view stated here is as follows: The 17th-century theology does not offer a basis for a reformed (Scripture-based) theological education or a resistance to liberal theology. An intrinsic characteristic of reformed theology, namely that the Holy Spirit maintains theology as a unity between its extreme poles, is replaced by rationalism. …”

British Unitarians and the crisis of American slavery, 1833-1865 by Stange, D, Stange, Douglas Charles

“…Their motivations for antislavery reform in particular, and reform in general, arose out of a liberal theology which sought to prove its moral superiority; a minority status and consciousness which sought acceptance; a strange and surprising evangelical warmth (typical of only some Unitarians and alien to the denomination as a body) that fired an emotive drive against social evils; a capitalist ideology that believed in a liberating progress; a political philosophy that favored freedom, honesty, and benevolence in government; a nationalism within an internationalism that proclaimed England's manifest destiny to be the protection and encouragement of human liberty at home and abroad; and a familial attachment to the members of their faith and reformers of their persuasion that was mutually supportive and rewarding. …”

Religious atavism and the climate crisis, with reference to Taylor and Rorty on liberalism by Veljkovic, S

“…By a widely accepted form of deflationary critique through analogy to religion, nominally secular worldviews are susceptible to genealogical redescription in terms of pre-liberal, theological antecedents in Western history. This thesis finds critical resources in theorists of liberalism for reading accounts of climate crisis – that put climate at the centre of contemporary Western self-understanding – as expressions of religious atavism. …”

Systematic Theology. Volume 1: The Doctrine of God." By Katherine Sonderegger by Moore, A

“…<p>Many debates in contemporary theology can be interpreted as revolving around questions concerning the doctrine of God and, with it, the way in which we are to construe God’s relationship to the world, the way in which we are to understand ‘the world’, and the ways in which God may be spoken of faithfully. Anglican liberal theology of the last century – for example, the outstanding work of Maurice Wiles – tended to a relatively parsimonious doctrine of God, motivated as it was by the rather minimal affirmations a theologian could make in what was taken to be a philosophically justified way. …”
