The United Church of Canada's Theology of Inclusion
[Figure: see text] After the 1960s, as cultural, linguistic, racial, and other differences increasingly defined peoples' identities, inclusivity became one of The United Church of Canada's (UCC's) defining characteristics and goals. But in 2000, a critique rose within UCC on inclusivity as presuming a power imbalance between those deciding who will be included and how, and those being included. This critique continued as UCC embarked on becoming …
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Sermon on the Mount
[Figure: see text] This paper examines what the Sermon on the Mount has to say about how Indigenous rights and traditions should be braided together with Canadian law to honour the intent of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and what the Declaration has to say about how the Sermon should be interpreted. The ethical demands of the Sermon require a fundamental respect for Indigenous world views, traditions, and land claims in …
George Soares-Prabhu's Christology
This article studies the Christology of Indian biblical theologian George Soares-Prabhu. It argues that Canadian theologians can learn from Soares-Prabhu on four points: (1) the way he negotiated the tension between the contextuality of a liberating theology and the universality of its truth claims; (2) the dialectical relationship between Indian culture and the biblical traditions in his approach to Christology; (3) his notion of the Jesus of fa…

Jesus' Resurrection as a Saturated Phenomenon
This paper examines Jean-Luc Marion's notion of a saturated phenomenon and assesses some of its strengths and weaknesses as a way of understanding Jesus' resurrection. It argues that Marion's notion is very helpful for understanding the uniqueness and decisiveness of Jesus' resurrection, its resistance to objectification, its transformative power and its excess of meaning. However, Marion's assertion that a person is completely passive in receivi…

Pride as sin and virtue
This paper examines a tension in Christian thought between the traditional critique of pride as a sin and the more recent affirmation of pride as a virtue. By analyzing where each locates the fundamental evil to be overcome, it shows how this critique and affirmation are conflicting goods that need to be held together. It concludes by indicating how the eschatological Christian hope and the preferential option for the poor help achieve this goal,…
The consistency of Jürgen Moltmann's theology
Pour Jurgen Moltmann, toute theologie doit s'inscrire dans une relation concrete avec le present. L'A. etudie les sources d'une telle affirmation dans la pensee de Moltmann dont l'approche theologique peut etre qualifiee de realisme messianique. Selon lui, la dialectique du developpement humain est intrinsequement comprise dans la Bible
Social mobility, status attainment, and class formation
This paper is devoted to a critical review of recent theoretical and methodological developments in comparative social mobility research. Issues are raised concerning underlying assumptions and ideological commitments that determine the way questions about social mobility have been formulated and researched within the mainstream empirical tradition of comparative stratification and mobility research. Part of the aim is to provoke a critical rethi…

Alienation
Marxist Theories of Alienation and Reification
Marx's formulation of the alienation problematic is grounded in a strategic set of underlying assumptions concerning the human condition. On the one hand, people are seen as the creators of their material and mental world through their labour activity. They are endowed with natural human qualities, creative powers and historically existing potentialities that are essential to human growth. People are, in essence, free, creative, productive beings…

Jürgen Moltmann's theology as a theology of the cross
Dans Le Dieu crucifie, Jurgen Moltmann affirme que toute theologie chretienne authentique est une theologie de la croix. Celle-ci n'est pas simplement un chapitre de la theologie, mais la signature pour toute theologie chretienne. C'est le point a partir duquel toutes les positions theologiques qui se veulent chretiennes doivent etre envisagees. Pour l'A., il s'agit de savoir la theologie messianique de Moltmann en mettant l'accent sur la doctrin…
Douglas Hall's critique of Jürgen Moltmann's eschatology of the cross
This article analyzes Douglas Hall's criticism that the eschatological outlook of Jürgen Moltmann's theology is inappropriate in the North American context. It argues that Hall's position is one-sided in its evaluation of North American culture and that it has some internal contradictions. The eschatological outlook of Moltmann's theology enables a more nuanced assessment of North American culture and presents a more coherent vision for a sociall…

Rejoinder to Baumel and Shapiro
The dialectic of understanding and explanation in answers to questions of theodicy
This paper addresses the topic of how God can be known in relation to the radical evil of innocent human suffering. Beginning by distinguishing between understanding and explanation as two related but different types of knowledge, it argues that God's love and radical evil are to be understood, not explained. While logical explanations of how God's love and radical evil inevitably subvert one or both realities, understanding allows both to stand …
