Challenges to understanding it? reneedeng https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705547647 2021-08-31 00:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705547647 The first paragraph deal with the question of: Is theology can be implied in other areas? as politics, personnel fulfilment, etc. concluding that what is related to God, as creatures, is what defines theological reflection. The second paragraph follows the first one claiming that theological ethics does not imply natural reason about objective functions of humanity but try to points a mystery purpose beyond what's existing. reneedeng https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705548187 2021-08-31 00:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705548187 The first paragraph defines theology with the views of Gustafson and Thomas Aquinas aligning to believe that theology is anything related to God. The second discusses theological ethics in relation to humanity and begins to assess the similarities and differences between secular and humanistic ethics. reneedeng https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705552101 2021-08-31 00:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705552101 Both Authors provide examples of the challenges within a secular society of debating theology with non believers outside of the Church community reneedeng https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705552823 2021-08-31 00:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705552823 Both Authors provide examples of the challenges within a secular society of debating theology with non believers outside of the Church communityAuthor A’s approach refers to the relatedness of God towards a topic or creature, so in other words how does this situation interact with a heavenly God in the current context, and how does the topic or creature interact with the Heavenly God. So two perspectives to be looked into.Author B’s approach relies more heavily on Theological ethics and how the strongly the world in relation to the topic can either control or comprehend this problem or conversation. Author B highlights the often troubling point of view of secular and humanistic ethics when God is taken out of the picture, and simply the functions or humanity are examined purely.Author A’s approach examines an appropriate way to converse for Theologians with Secular members of the public, and provides a method by utilizing a non-offensive term for describing The Trinity as “God” versus Jesus or Allah for example. As a result both parties can converse and engage within the debate without offence. Author B’s contrasting method acknowledges that “in face of Mystery” (God) that there are elements in our lives we cannot entirely comprehend or control, a scientific method lets say, provides an insight into the theological challenges for secular and humanistic to overcome if they truly wish to understand both perspectives thoroughly. Conversely, for Theologians, taking God out of the conversation and then explaining the phenomenon to the World Perspective may add insight into their research later on. As is often said, when we need to explain or teach on a topic, this is when we truly get the opportunity to see how much we really do understand on the topic. Author A and B, although they share commonality of Theological belief, their methodology of conversing about God appears to be quite different. Author A acknowledges God’s existence and continues on with the discussion with God in the mix, whereas Author B, relegates God to be a Mystery to the secular community, and this is how they are able to converse with this discussion. https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705562288 2021-08-31 00:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/reneedeng/fpwz0k637dqk1825/wish/1705562288
