New Testaments

In a Tiantai theology, conventional truth is conventionally arisen, which means that such truth is never set once and for all, but is to be cherished and rethought in new circumstances, whether interreligious or scientific--but always in critical consonance with its ancient embodiments. Contexts shift frameworks, but life in Christ is translatable across cultures. Christian faith and theology discourage the assumption that the point of it can be clearly pinned down. God's appearance to Elijah out of the whirlwind is an eternal reminder of the paltriness of all human perspectives. Symbolic worlds of faith and wisdom are not themselves finished products. Because it has a past and a future, the cosmos itself is unfinished. Christian creeds ought not be defended as last-word ideological positions and bastions against relativity, but instead recognized in their cultural contexts and affirmed as grammars of communal and personal assent.

Reviews for Earthing the Cosmic Christ of Ephesians--The Universe, Trinity, and Zhiyi's Threefold Truth, Volume 4: Commentary on Ephesians 2:13--3:21

"""John P. Keenan continues his foundational retrieval of Ephesians in Earthing the Cosmic Christ. This fourth volume too models erudite close reading, deep comparative theological learning, and contemplative insight--all at the service of bringing fully to life Ephesians' vision of Christ in the world, transforming the cosmos. Tiantai Zhiyi's threefold truth, ancient yet timely, ever illumines Keenan's path as he brings a lifetime of multireligious learning to bear in this volume, doing effortlessly what few of us could even imagine."" --Francis X. Clooney, SJ, professor of divinity, Harvard University"
