Interruption
Joel Robbins wishes to renew anthropological theory from a transformative dialogue with theology. There, he looks for actors’ categories which may assist him in anthropologically interpreting his ethnographical data on Christian life. One of these categories is the notion of interruption which he borrows, among others from my theological work, in order to describe the radical conversion of the Urapmin and, more broadly, radical change in religion…
Interrupting Christian Identity Construction
In a recent article, Didier Pollefeyt reflected on the worrisome observation that young children seemingly successfully raised in the Christian faith in Catholic schools lose this faith by the end of secondary education. According to him, the combination of an all-too-positive theology and positive psychology in primary schools (turning these into safe havens) should be complemented by theologies of vulnerability and responsibility in order to pr…
Grace, Governance and Globalization
What role does, could or should theology play in current discussions about our political realities? Is there a place for theological worldviews in the public conversation about policy making? Should theology critically unmask the underlying theological and metaphysical sources of contemporary politics? The contributors to this volume reflect on new questions in public and political theology, inspired by the theology of Edward Schillebeeckx. They …

Religious education in a post-secular and post-Christian context
In 1999, a new curriculum for Roman-Catholic religious education was introduced in Flemish primary and secondary schools, taking into account both the growing de-Christianisation and religious pluralisation of pupils in the classroom. Recently, this new curriculum has been subjected to diverging criticisms: first it is considered still too Christian, and therefore not able to appropriately deal with religious plurality, and, second, quite contrar…
«La vraie réception de Vatican II n'a pas encore commencé»
One of the actors from Vatican II who still plays a major role in the Church today, is without any doubt Joseph Ratzinger. He has been an active theologian, ‘advisor’ and peritus in the Council, afterwards being named cardinal-prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and, since 2005, the Sovereign Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. In our contribution, we will investigate in what way the event of the Council, its texts, but a…
Europe in Crisis
For Joseph Ratzinger, elected Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, modernity has transformed Europe into a continent without God. As a result, Europe's self‐understanding is flawed. This outcome puts serious doubts on the Church's resolution, expressed in Gaudium et spes , to dialogue with the modern world. Moreover, the present pope was among the first to warn both church and society against the erosion of modernity. Also more recently, e.g. in his Values…
God, Particularity and Hermeneutics
In a critical-constructive dialogue with Richard Kearney's philosophical hermeneutics of religion, Lieven Boeve sketches the panorama of continental philosophy's turn to religion, and comments on it from a theological-epistemological perspective. After some initial theological comments on Kearney's poetics of a possible God, Boeve analyzes the intuitions, argumentation and framework of his thinking. Furthermore, he situates Kearney's approach in …
La pertinence de la foi chrétienne dans la société contemporaine
L'A., partant d'un article de Jean-Marc Ferry, entreprend de determiner la place que peut prendre la religion chretienne dans la societe contemporaine. L'A. suggere de depasser la dichotomie christianisme/secularite pour y introduire des schemas de pluralite au sein desquels il devient possible de penser l'alterite. La theologie doit alors decouvrir dans la confrontation avec l'alterite des opportunites de recontextualiser l'evangile
Canonization and Decanonization
This volume contains the papers read at the Leiden Conference on Canonization and Decanonization of 9-10 January 1997. The emphasis in this rich and wide-ranging contribution to the subject is on the processes of canonization and decanonization in several religions and on the phenomenon of religious canons as well. It has two sections: (De)canonization and the History of Religions, and (De)canonization and Modern Society. In the first section pro…
