SUMMARY:Hermeneutics Group
DESCRIPTION:The Hermeneutics Group will be discussing Clement Wen’s paper: “Bonhoeffer’s Dissertations as an Exercise in Hermeneutics? An Introductory Lecture.” \nIn this paper\, Dr. Wen argues that Bonhoeffer’s early thought\, as given to us through his two doctoral dissertations—Sanctorum Communio: A Theological Study of the Sociology of the Church (1927\, published 1930) and Act and Being: Transcendental Philosophy and Ontology in Systematic Theology (1931)—are themselves implicitly hermeneutical in nature and orientation and therefore can be discussed and evaluated as such. \nThe Hermeneutics Group is a monthly gathering of faculty\, students\, and others interested in the issues surrounding hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is a multidisciplinary field of growing interest. It is concerned with how we understand the world around us\, especially but not exclusively written texts\, but also art\, music\, and other meaning-making events. Those interested in joining the group should contact Isaiah Padgett to be put on the email list for further information. \nJoin the Livestream\nPassword: z00m (Note that the password has zeros rather than “o”)

SUMMARY:Hermeneutics Group
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin the Livestream\nPassword: z00m (Note that the password has zeros rather than “o”)
