Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This seminar will survey and critically assess several contemporary theologies of creation, particularly as they articulate the God-world relation. In addition to exploring how these theologies engage scripture, doctrine, and historical trends in philosophy and theology, the seminar will highlight such topics as <i>creatio ex nihilo</i>, divine action, divine passibility, divine self-communication, creaturely self-transcendence, freedom, relationality, and contingency. Figures for consideration include Jrgen Moltmann, Catherine Keller, Henri de Lubac, Karl Rahner, Elizabeth Johnson, John Haught, Herbert McCabe, and Sara Grant.
