Santo Augustinus seorang filosof abad pertengahan yang sekaligus juga seorang teolog. Ia mencari sintesis antara rasionalitas Yunani dan iman Kristiani. Meskipun iman Kristiani dan refleksi filosofis ...menyatu secara tak terpisahkan dalam Santo Augustinus, apa yang ditulisnya bukan hanya penting bagi teologi Kristiani, melainkan juga merupakan sumbangan besar kepada pemikiran murni filosofis, melampaui umat seimannya. Santo Augustinus tidak menulis buku khusus tentang etika – meskipun bernapaskan imannya yang kristiani – dalam struktur teoritis etika Santo Augustinus betul-betul filosofis yang tidak mengandaikan iman keprcayaan agama tertentu. Etika Santo Augustinus yang mengangkat kembali intuisi dasar Plato amat menentukan seluruh pemikiran teologi moral di Barat selanjutnya. Dalam pemikirannya tentang etika, Santo Augustinus sama sekali tidak menyinggung tentang filsafat perennial. Namun pemikiran etikanya yang yang mendasarkan pada perintah ilahi dan penyatuan manusia dengan Tuhan melalui cinta membawa pada visi filsafat perenial. Dimana ada tiga konsepsi filsafat perenial/filsafat keabadian yaitu metafisika (berorientasi pada ketuhanan), psikologi (manusia sebagai mikrokosmos) dan etika (sebagai keselarasan).
Being Reconciled is a radical and entirely fresh theological treatment of the classic theory of the Gift in the context of divine reconciliation. It reconsiders notions of freedom and exchange in ...relation to a Christian doctrine which understands Creation, grace and incarnation as heavenly gifts, but the Fall, evil and violence as refusal of those gifts. In a sustained and rigorous response to the works of Derrida, Levinas, Marion, Zizek, Hauerwas and the 'Radical Evil' school, John Milbank posits the daring view that only transmission of the forgiveness offered by the Divine Humanity makes reconciliation possible on earth. Any philosophical understanding of forgiveness and redemption therefore requires theological completion. Both a critique of post-Kantian modernity, and a new theology that engages with issues of language, culture, time, politics and historicity, Being Reconciled insists on the dependency of all human production and understanding on a God who is infinite in both utterance and capacity. Intended as the first in a trilogy of books centred on the gift, this book is an original and vivid new application of a classic theory by a leading international theologian.

Članak promišlja o teologiji i o teološkom radu kao mjestu življenja, refleksije i komuniciranja vjere. Najprije se ukazuje na pogrješna shvaćanja teologije koja polaze od redukcionističkih shvaćanja ...vjere. Vjera uvijek polazi od Božjega odnosa prema čovjeku. Stoga je teologija, kao mjesto u kojem se objavljena istina komunicira čovjeku, po svojoj naravi mjesto Božje prisutnosti. Drugi dio govori o interakciji vjere i teologije, točnije o njihovoj međusobnoj nerazdvojivosti. Teologija je uvijek teo-logija: polazi od onoga što je Bog rekao (govori) o sebi u povijesti spasenja. To je srž trećega dijela koji razmatra spasenje kao središnju kategoriju koja povezuje vjeru i teologiju, iskustvo i znanost. Četvrti dio bavi se pitanjem same znanstvenosti teologije, s posebnim naglaskom na pitanje metode. U zaključnom se dijelu, pitanjem tko je pravi teolog, pružaju koordinate za ispravnije i koliko je moguće potpunije poimanje teologije i teologa.
According to St. Augustine Faith and Reason are intertwined, overlapping each other, but without excluding each other. In this way the faith is permeated by the intellect and it is founded on the ...authority of the reason, that is essential for in-depth „knowledge”. On the other hand, „knowledge” – reason is irreplaceable to „believe”. In such a context two very characteristic of our author’s statements can be seen: Crede ut intelligas, and intellige ut credas! The call of the blessed of Hippo: Intellectum valde ama! can also be included in it. It is a meaningful fact that there is not known a single case in which the Augustinism would split up the reason with the faith. An absolute Christocentrism of Augustine is present in the background of the discussion about the faith and the reason: speculation is not a goal in itself, but it only serves to get closer to the mystery of God and the mystery of a man in Christ. The reason and the faith (the authority) are two factors of getting to know the truth. One can speak of a kind of gnoseological dualism. The faith is the acceptance of the truth because of the authority of the witness. Knowledge leads to the possible conclusions and the faith gives certainty and consistency.
The aim of this paper is to provide an answer to the question of who are intellectuals and how much are they needed to society and the Church? Countless intellectuals, among them also theologians, ...played a role in creating and sustaining destructive regimes of contemporary ideologies, fanatical religious movements and cynical politics. In former socialist countries, active humanists, the main carriers of freedom, dissidents and sufferers, were often intellectuals. In postsocialist societies and countries, especially in Southeastern Europe, struck by war and nationalism, and overwhelmed with triviality of consumer’s society, intellectuals/theologians are, next to politicians, the strongest barriers against humanization of society: they exclude morals from politics, they reject self-criticsm, civil bravery and prophetic dimension of faith.
In this challenging work Robert M. Doran explores the basis of systematic theology in consciousness, and goes on to consider the practical role of such theology in establishing and fostering ...communities with an authentic way of life. This way of life would counteract the distortions and deformations of humanity that are exemplified by both late capitalism and Marxism.
Theology positions and interpretations today, argues Doran, must be stated in the categories of a theory of history. The first part of the book outlines the horizon required for such categories. The second,, third, and fourth parts incrementally derive the categories expressing a theory of history in terms of the reciprocal relations among subjects, cultures, and social structures. The final part, on hermeneutics, oresents an argument for the pertinence of what has preceded for interpreting the words and deeds of others.
Doran draws extensively on the thought of Bernard Lonergan, and the work develops Lonergan's methodological insights. It issues a call to persona; genuineness and authenticity, informed by religious, moral, intellectual, affective, and psychic 'conversions,' by 'interior' differentiation of one's consciousness, and by Christian faith, on the parts of theologians who aspire to arrest effectively the course of cultural decline.
