▼ One of the fruits of Augustine’s labor in De Trinitate, his seminal work on the Christian doctrine of God, is that he explains how Christians encounter God in the common experience of the liturgy in synthetic concepts crafted from Christian doctrines, neo-platonism and the liberal arts. This thesis argues in four steps that Augustine develops a Christology upon the edifice of the Trinity that legitimizes and activates a mediatorial role in scripture when it is read and heard in the liturgy of a church meeting. First, Augustine’s decision to treat the Trinity as a problem for contemplation requires him to assign scripture the role of helping the Christian faithful overcome a barrier to the contemplation of God that he calls “materialism.” Second, his contention that scripture’s doctrine of God is Trinitarian requires an exegetical proof; his proof issues in a proto-Chalcedonian Christology. Third, he uses this Christology to shape a metaphysics of participation in Christ that opens a special kind of epistemology unique to the Trinity called “faith”; faith is the path that overcomes materialism. Fourth, “faith” allows Christians to treat scripture as the surrogate for Christ’s presence; scripture serves this role during the public reading during the liturgy.

▼ This thesis will claim that applying the concepts of J.L Austin’s speech act theory to Søren Kierkegaard’s practice of indirect communication will provide insight into the performative aspects of indirect communication and will reveal that its ability to introduce readers to the decisive categories of Christianity depends upon this performative capability. Kierkegaard, through indirect, pseudonymous forms of discourse, introduces ethical and religious categories—categories which are concerned with the subjective relation to God—into the aesthetic existence and thought of those living within what he calls Christendom. Because the pseudonyms introduce reflected discourse into an objective form of existence, Kierkegaard’s pseudonymous authorship draws attention to the reader’s relationship to God in a way that direct communication cannot, namely by altering the mode of communication from an objective to a subjective one. Kierkegaard hopes that this will prompt the reader to become aware of her relation to God and then to make a decision concerning it. After explaining the relevant portions of Austin’s and Kierkegaard’s respective projects, I will argue that Kierkegaard’s use of indirect communication can succeed because of the performative nature of indirect communication which enables the pseudonyms to introduce the reader to the subjective categories of Christianity.

▼ This dissertation constructs a theological anthropology for ecofeminist theology. In spite of their insistence that human beings need to feel “at home on the earth,” ecofeminists have not developed a theological anthropology that explicitly counteracts human exceptionalism. Without such an anthropology, the distancing conceptions of the human being that contributed to the ecological crisis are not fully challenged. I propose a conscious turn to a focus on matter as a means by which ecofeminist theology can achieve nonexceptionalist anthropology. I draw from Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of visible and invisible “flesh” to construct a theological anthropology that accounts not only for human bodies but also for human cognition and experiences of transcendence in a way that does not differentiate us absolutely from the material world. Specifically, I use Merleau-Ponty’s figure of the chiasm to construct an “apophatic anthropology” in which the boundary between self and world is fundamentally indeterminate. I argue that this anthropology is more conducive to an ecologically sound relationship with the world because it cultivates a mode of seeing ourselves as entirely continuous with material reality and enables us to live into our embodied interconnection.

▼ This dissertation delineates an interlocking set of hermeneutic challenges that have historically beset Protestant biblical interpretation, particularly in Protestant communities that have maintained close allegiance to the tenets of Martin Luther’s “sola Scriptura” teaching. These believers are consistently at a loss in view of the subjectivity of interpretation and the Protestant communion’s tendency to fracture along lines of interpretive disagreement. This project seeks to chart the complex theological and philosophical commitments undergirding prominent episodes in the unfolding of this “Protestant interpretation problem,” examining its historical instantiations from Reformation-era to contemporary theological options. The dissertation then explores alternative hermeneutic paradigms tied to two modern contemplative approaches to revelation, proposing that these paradigms offer promising resources, though not ready solutions, for moving beyond the Protestant interpretation problem. In overview of the various options surveyed, the project closes by endorsing a view of Christoform revelation as a Spirit-guided process that incorporates human interpreters’ improvisational responses to divine self-communication (rather than working towards purging them away from some “objective core” of revelation) in sacramental fashion. The practical implication is that of placing a higher premium on—and, thus, giving more careful attention to cultivating—the multiple intelligences at play in the discursive community’s improvisational formulations of Scripture’s Christoform content and implications, understanding the ongoing struggle towards meaning as itself a graced bodily site of transfiguration into Sonship.

▼ Since its inception in the publication of James Cone’s Black Theology and Black Power in 1969, academic black theology has viewed itself as the contemporary embodiment of the liberationist impulse that gave rise to black churches in the antebellum era. Both black liberation theology and womanism situate themselves firmly within the black church tradition and understand their critiques to be corrective measures calling the church to embrace those beliefs and perspectives that can more faithfully inform a mission of liberation and wholeness for black communities. This dissertation contests this self-understanding of black theology and womanism by arguing that the core theological claims of black churches, being pietist in nature, are incommensurable with the central beliefs of black theology/womanism, which are undergirded by theological liberalism. By applying heuristically Thomas Kuhn’s theories of paradigm shift and incommensurability, this dissertation shows that the emergence of black liberation theology constitutes the creation of the black Liberationist paradigm which represents a radical departure from the Pietist paradigm that has defined the basic theological perspective of black churches throughout their existence.

▼ This dissertation argues that the “postliberal” ecclesiologies of John Milbank and Stanley Hauerwas fail to account for Christian implication in the secular in part because they collapse the kingdom of God into the visible church. Inferring that an alternative lies in locating the kingdom both in church and society, it proposes that the Byzantine ideal of symphonia, which seeks to balance church and state under the revelation of the kingdom, presents a framework for a more consistent account of the intersections between church and secular. I conclude that formal societal refusal of the divine is inconsequential to a church that understands the Word to be the driving force of human cultural development on its way toward the kingdom of God. Even this present secular moment can be potentially revelatory, a perspective that not only warrants but even mandates creative ecclesial engagement with the secular insofar as it conforms to the revelation of the Word incarnate in Jesus.

▼ Examining the turn to practices in contemporary theological method, a trend that has its roots in postliberalism but has become common in feminist theology, this dissertation identifies and challenges the ways in which methodology and ethics function together teleologically in accounts of formation, as methodological-ethical frameworks, in ways that undermine these accounts’ aims of inclusion/faithful community amidst difference. More specifically, this project explores the claims and ramifications of this methodological-ethical turn to, on, and for non-normative gender and sexuality, turning to two feminist theological accounts of formation (Sarah Coakley, Serene Jones) as case studies.
Placing theological analyses of postliberal methodology in conversation with queer theoretical reflections on temporality, this project argues that, and explores how, temporality, teleology, and normativity are marshalled together in methodological-ethical frameworks in ways that undermine their aims and that produce and reify formational processes that ultimately undermine gender and sexual difference, as a particular vision of normative religious identity functions as the telos that other markers of difference are assimilated into or subordinated to. This dissertation argues that these feminist methodological-ethical frameworks of formation function according to what queer theorist José Esteban Muñoz names as straight time, and in doing so, they obscure and fail to fully contend with negative subjectivizing effects of positive identity formation within the sphere of Christian formation, limited epistemic access on theological grounds (anthropology, eschatology) and how such limits might impact a stable telos of flourishing, and that they thus foreclose on the theological and ethical possibilities of and in un-formation.
Placing queer insights on sociality and ideals alongside theological reflections on these themes, this project ultimately seeks to wrest these accounts of identity, community, and formation from “straight time,” and proposes an alternate frame, an anti-telos, of belonging in difference. This dissertation argue that an ethical-methodological account of formation that engenders flourishing approaches “the future” not by asking “how do we secure or obtain it?” but rather, “who is the ‘we’ that make up and enact it?”

This project in constructive theology responds to a perceived weakness in Reformed ecclesiology, that being a deficient account of visible ecclesial holiness and a tendency to clericalism that runs contrary to the Reformed understandings of ordination. In this dissertation, I first seek to establish the plausibility of the problem I perceive by attending to two significant moments of controversy and division in American Presbyterian history. I then examine four substantial Reformed theological sources (Karl Barth, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Jean Calvin, and Augustine of Hippo) to gain further insight into the problem of conceptualizing visible holiness and a default to clericalism and to draw out resources for a resolution to this problem. From Barth I detect the difficulty of ascribing any visibility to holiness. From Schleiermacher and Calvin I draw out the Reformed emphasis on the preaching of the word and the weight thereby placed on preachers. I find in Augustine’s Donatist opponents a distinctly clerically centered construal of ecclesial holiness. I also identify a picture of the church that emerges in each thinker: humility, mutuality, progression, and forgiving love. And in each source I identify the insistence that God alone is the source of sanctification and the foundational character of forgiveness to ecclesial life. I ultimately argue that the practice of forgiveness needs to be identified as the third mark of the church. Word and sacrament, the traditional, Protestant marks of the church, are too tightly linked to the clerical office in Reformed order. The practice of forgiveness is part and parcel of Christian discipleship, as each baptized believer is to forgive as we have been forgiven; this is a mark of holiness because it is an operation of the Holy Spirit (eg. John 20:22-23). This is a leveling practice as all within the fellowship stand in need of and responsible for the extension of forgiveness. Concrete implications for ecclesial life are briefly explored in the concluding chapter.

▼ God invites us to share in holy communion in the whole of life. Holy communion is the feast of wholly charitable life together through which we participate in the holy nature and work of God’s perfect love. The problem I address is the present participation of the church in the unholy communion of the global market economy, which joins participants from around the world in a social and ecological web of relations marked by the unholy energies of self-interested love. Drawing upon resources from the holiness-communitarian and agrarian-ecological traditions, with a focus upon the agro-economic production, distribution, and consumption of our daily bread and common cup, I argue that Christians are called to join in holy communion in the whole of life by participating in modes of economic life together that are consonant with the gracious, convivial, enfleshed, mutual, and creative love of God.

▼ In this dissertation, I endeavor to bring to life Kathryn Tanner’s way of framing theology as a cultural practice within which ad hoc, context specific modes of Christian discourse (everyday theologies) and more specialized, coherent, systematic modes (academic theologies) compete and cooperate with each other. To bring this model to life in practice, I develop a form of self-implicated ethnography, grounded in the reflexive ethnographic methods of Pierre Bourdieu and Loïc Wacquant. This self-implicated form of ethnography offers a complementary alternative to the traditional ethnographic modes of participant observation that have typically been used by theologians. In particular, I contrast my theological ethnographic methods with those employed by Mary McClintock Fulkerson.
The form of self-implicated ethnography I develop here deployed a loose, performative integration of my own competing and cohering roles as both minister and academic theologian within my community of study (First Baptist Church, Nashville). Specifically, in order to perform this loose integration of my competing and cohering roles, my fieldwork primarily consisted in teaching two adult education theology courses: “Topics in Theology: Jesus Christ and Salvation” and “Topics in Theology: God as Trinity.” By teaching these two courses, I sought to guide a process by which everyday and academic theologies were brought together in a shared conversational process. And this conversational process was comprised of a community of people speaking various theological fluencies in order to pursue wisdom together.

▼ Musics and the Generosity of God appeals to French theological phenomenology, a re-translation of Heidegger’s concept of "Ge-Stell," and an analysis of musical compositions from the postwar avant-garde to critique the tendency to reduce the theological significance of music to mere illustrations of preconceived doctrines. Alternatively, the thesis argues that all sounds instantiate divine generosity.

▼ This dissertation examines the divergent theological visions of the Eucharist found in the works of Louis-Marie Chauvet and John Milbank. In particular, this dissertation examines the ways in which both thinkers utilize the ontological scandal of the Eucharist—whether understood as “transubstantiation” or otherwise—in order to explicate the political scandal of the Eucharist as that which provides the ultimate ethical norm for the Church’s public life. Both Chauvet and Milbank, despite their differences, adumbrate the ontological and political scandal of the Eucharist through strong engagement with postmodern theories of gift and language. Yet, both thinkers eschew the concepts of negative theology or Christian apophaticism. I argue that this aversion to the apophatic weakens their theologies of the Eucharist and their subsequent political theologies. I conclude by arguing for a conception of the Eucharist as the gift of political language. This constructive contribution charts a middle way between the opposing views of Chauvet and Milbank by insisting that apophasis must explicitly shape fundamental theologies of sacramentality. Understanding the Eucharist as the gift of political language, I argue, leads to a new way of understanding the ontological and political scandal of the Eucharist.

▼ This paper offers a reformulation of Christological kenosis and its implications for Christian discipleship in light of the confusion surrounding “self-emptying” language and the painful ramifications of its prescription in Christianity, particularly for women. The central thesis claims that understanding kenosis in terms of subjection not only subverts the traditional, simplistic construal of self-emptying as loss of self, but also provides a recapitulation of kenosis as a transformative and empowering re-identification in God that feminist theology can plausibly engage and affirm.
To develop this argument, the paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach, initially giving a constructive critique of Sarah Coakley’s conception of Christ’s kenosis as the concurrence of divine power and human vulnerability. This evaluation of Coakley is then supplemented with Judith Butler’s philosophical account of power and subject formation in the process of subjection. The argument concludes by examining the various dimensions of the kenotic language in Philippians 2 and Mark 8:22-10:52, in order to propose, finally, a contemporary retrieval of kenosis as subversive subjection.

A Pneumatology of Christian Knowledge: The Holy Spirit and the Performance of the Mystery of God in Augustine and Barth.

▼ This dissertation is a study of the pneumatologies of Augustine and Karl Barth, and argues that pneumatology is the performative discourse of participation in Jesus Christ. I claim that for both theologians trinitarian doctrine is the logic of the gratuity of the divine self-giving, and the function of pneumatology in particular is to articulate the human enactment of that participation as itself inherent in the historical self-donation of God.
This thesis is argued in the course of two investigations. First, I examine the problem of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in Latin Christian thought in terms of the rhetoric of Geistesvergessenheit in the late twentieth century revival in trinitarian interest; I analyze the principal historical claims about the shortcomings of the Latin trinitarian tradition and, insofar as Barth and Augustine are representative of that tradition, show these historical claims to be unsubstantiated. Moreover, through a reading of the philosophy of Hegel as interpreted by Jacques Derrida, I argue that much of contemporary trinitarianism is based upon ontological assumptions which undermine its intended goals, notably the construction of a relational or social ontology as derived from a reconstructed trinitarian personalism.
Second and most substantively, I undertake a close reading of Augustine’s De Trinitate and Barth’s Church Dogmatics in order to construct a pneumatology of Christian knowledge. I argue that Augustine and Barth both articulate their pneumatology as a textual strategy that performatively corresponds to the construction of the ethical subject as a participant in grace. This logic of grace is therefore a self-involving understanding of the knowledge of God as an ethical and enacted, not simply epistemological, matter of correspondence to Christ. Furthermore, both theologians employ pneumatology as a discourse that christologically appropriates and displaces a metaphysical system: Augustine, through his transformation of the Neoplatonic mystical ascent, and Barth through his dependence upon Hegel. Finally, I undertake a comparative analysis of the two theologians to explore ways in which their theology of the Spirit mutually corrects and enriches.

▼ This project analyzes the effects of consumerism on identity and consumerism’s misunderstanding of freedom and identity. The dissertation argues that identity cannot be easily defined because paradoxically it does not abide continuously but is rather given anew continually; it is not the subsistent essence of the individual but rather the self’s complete dependence on an external source for its foundation.
The dissertation draws primarily upon three Christian thinkers: René Girard, Søren Kierkegaard, and Saint Augustine. Each contributes to an understanding of consumerism through his analysis of the human desire for self-sufficiency. According to Augustine, all sin is rooted in pride and the desire to be like God, that is, responsible for one’s own being. Kierkegaard discusses the human tendency to judge oneself based on endless comparisons with others, as if one might become like God by outdoing other human beings in competition. Girard describes a common belief in the divine auto-sufficiency of one’s models and the hope that one can share in their divinity through imitation. All three thinkers believe that the Christian is one whose desires are transformed by grace, who becomes like God not through self-glorification, but through humbling oneself before God, and who imitates not the desires of those this world glorifies, but rather the desires of Jesus Christ who was ridiculed and murdered.
The dissertation proposes the gratuitous bestowal of identity by God as the true understanding of identity’s source. The Church should make clear that identity cannot be earned or purchased; it can only be given. To look for the source of identity in some possession, accomplishment, or trait (as is the norm in consumer society), is to look among particular items of difference for a common, universal organizing principle. An other must bestow it; the agent concerned cannot orchestrate it for such orchestration would simply be one among other actions in need of organization. The self-given identity would always fail to incorporate the very act of identity bestowal.
