Tribute to Hugh Thomson Kerr, Jr
The Bunyan Tercentenary
“In Bunyan's dream, no place was found for sacred places, holy shrines, or settled structures. The constant urge was to move forward. Settled places such as Doubting Castle or the Enchanted Ground were full of danger. There might be temporary halting-places for interpretation and for instruction in the Word but only in order that the journey might be undertaken more purposefully. The goal was the Heavenly City.”
Retrospective for Today
“It could, I think, be claimed that the drawing together of the main Christian communions through renewed attempts to interpret the books of the Bible in contemporary language and through efforts to express the major traditions of worship in modern symbolic forms has been the most encouraging feature within the Christian scene since 1944. ... The two most pressing problems which have confronted theologians over the past quarter of a century have …
The Person and the Theologian
“I have now written four biographies ... All have been theologians, though they have represented differing theological outlooks and ways of doing theology ... I have also found that many people are prepared to consider theological issues when presented in biographical form who would hesitate to tackle a more systematic or philosophical treatise.”
Systematic Theology Today
“Is it possible to write a systematic theology today? ... What seems evident is that we can no longer expect that a systematic theology can be written with the aim of extablishing a once-for-all, definitive, orthodox statement of Christian faith. Whether a theology written from a particular perspective can legitimately be called ‘systematic’ may be open to question.”
The holy hush of Sunday Morningc
“Does Sunday any longer carry religious associations, or is it basically a convenient device for giving society an opportunity for relaxation and recreation one day in seven? By a strange coincidence, four of the major poets of this century have each written a poem, using ‘Sunday Morning’ in the title (Wallace Stevens, Louis MacNeice, T. S. Eliot, Robert Lowell) ... Many of the old emblems may be vanishing, but we still need some symbol to mark t…
Inter-Play between the Religious and the Dramatic
“In Greece, drama reached its apogee in such a tragedy as Antigone. In Israel, drama gained its highest expression in the passover ceremony. In Christendom, at least until the beginning of this century, sometimes the one type, sometimes the other, has been in the ascendant. But always there has been drama, for in some strange way it appears that no society can hold together with any permanence unless it engages in some form of dramatic expression…
Theology and Artistic Experience
“If the theologian refuses to be confined within the classroom and the laboratory and insists that he must get out and do theology in the common room and the dining room and the playing field and the theater and on the road, then he must take very seriously the crucial and dramatic experiences [of Schönberg, Picasso, and Eliot]. ... The revelation through the wrestlings of the musician, the painter, and the poet may indeed be part of the total re…
