| Summary: | Colin Gunton's trinitarian theology of culture provides a fruitful account of human culture as sub-agency that contributes to the divine redemption and perfection of creation. In Gunton's thought, the Son and the Spirit sometimes enable the church's social, political, and ethical embodiment of the gospel to anticipate God's eschatological purposes and offer praise to God for God's wise purposes in creation. Gunton's emphasis upon the church's embodiment of the gospel can be extended by further reflection on the politics of belonging in community. This interview focuses on the ableism that besets the church and blunts its witness. The church's theology is deeply entangled with the construction and maintenance of ableism, and theology must think amidst the issues that theology helped cause. The interview critiques ableism in the church and society, and promotes the church's embodiment of the gospel that makes a world of difference. |
