| 总结: | These two books are very profitably read in tandem as rigorous theological reflections on freedom in the context of—and in contrast to—the libertarian ethos of late modernity (an ethos that, in America at least, has captured both liberal Protestantism and conservative evangelicalism). For the most part, the Church and her theologians have fallen captive to the ‘negative’ freedom of libertarian modernity; indeed, we can only imagine freedom in those terms as a lack of constraint. Against those habits of mind, Burrell’s and Hütter’s books are a kind of intellectual therapy seeking to free up our theoretical imaginations to think freedom otherwise., Burrell does so through a series of studies in medieval thought. But he unapologetically situates this against our late modern culture. |
