Neoorthopraxy and Brian D. McLaren: A postmodern reconstruction of kingdom of God theology- [e-book]

서명/저자: Neoorthopraxy and Brian D. McLaren: A postmodern reconstruction of kingdom of God theology - [e-book]

초록/해제: 요약 : This dissertation critiques Brian D. McLaren's postmodern reconstruction of theology and its development of neoorthopraxy which emphasizes social action and undermines orthodoxy. It discusses and analyzes McLaren's application of postmodern epistemology to Scripture and theology and his construction of neoorthopraxy. It shows how McLaren constructs his Kingdom of God hermeneutic to support his neoorthopraxy. It offers a critical assessment by analyzing the effect of postmodern epistemology on incarnational theology, the relationship between evangelism and social action, the Kingdom of God in Scripture, and the effect of postmodern epistemology on his understanding of the person of Christ.

초록/해제: 요약 : Given the absence of exclusive truth within his theology, McLaren uses biblical teachings on the Kingdom of God to form the basis for his neoorthopraxy. Neoorthopraxy is concerned with restoration of God's Kingdom in the world with the help of humans engaging in social action to avoid and undo ill effects of injustice. Whereas orthodox Christians have found unity in their exclusive truth claims, McLaren offers unity in his call to social action. Finally, McLaren's neoorthopraxy fails to present an orthodox view of Christ's person.
