| Summary: | To be alive as embodied human beings in the world means to be both conceptually or ratiocinatively aware, and sensibly or causally aware. However, under a still powerful influence of idealism, theology over the past two centuries has virtually abandoned the causal and sensibly-embodied attentiveness to its subject-matter (revelation) as demanded by the incarnation. It has instead often come to comport itself one-sidedly, in essentially analytical or linguistically self-guaranteeing ways, and has thereby lost its contingent and genuinely vulnerable incarnational "edge" at the center of life. This essay tries to restore a properly twofold attentiveness through a reinvigoration of the traditional view of revelation as the divinely causal reality of God in the world. |
