Summary: | Theology, as Pierre Gisel conceives it, is not primarily a function of the church, but a task done upon common human features. The contemporary context ascribes to theology a historical task. In this view, Gisel proposes to join a theory of Christianity to a theory of religion in order to think a genealogy of the Western culture. In this essay, two theories of Christianity will be presented. Marcel Gauchet and Jean-Luc Nancy share in the understanding of Christianity as an event of "surpassing". Nevertheless, those theories diverge in their response to the challenge of a political thought in a world that is "beyond religion" or, according to Nancy, that is in an era of "the end of meaning." Those two theories offer different but viable locus for a theological discourse. |
