Hermeneutics Group
February 26 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The hermeneutics group will be discussing Paul Robinson’s paper, “‘If I Say Too Little—Oh, I Will Not Say Too Little!’: Jacob of Sarug and the Question of Theology as Poetry.” The article explores the following: Is poetic language preferable to prose for the task of theology? Might we go so far as to ask that pointed question which the Oxford Socratic Club once posed to C. S. Lewis: “Is theology poetry?” By considering the poem-homilies of Jacob of Sarug (c. 451–521 CE), and drawing upon Thomas Aquinas, Austin Farrer, and others, this essay urges readers towards a positive answer to that question. While theology might not necessarily be poetry in a formal sense, Christian theology is, at its heart, a poetical-symbolic act of calling forth to God and calling out for more.
