Church of theology and academic theology

 Broad historical overview of the above, what we can to locate the Church of theology and academic theology and the adequacy of representation of this complex phenomenon?

First, we explore here, not church doctrine theology and philosophy of the division, but the division between the two. In discussing Christian theology in modern society, the division,Discount UGG boots, the most frequently cited theory is put forward Tracy American theologian theological activity on the three public space: universities, churches and society, and in turn consistent with the three theological Type: basic theology, systematic theology and practical theology. But Tracy is the focus of discussion, the division among the three based on sexual identity but, whether it is active in universities, the church's theology and social space must have the following characteristics in common: first, the three theological type must be the public nature of theology, even in theology for the church service is also not in the understanding of talking or indifferent to the nationalist community. All will have the public nature of theology, which is expressed in the presence of the Prince of the Church, faith and the preaching of the gospel of universal appeal. Secondly, the three theological function of the division but the division of theology, rather than split into three rival theology. For example, professor of New Testament, church historians and systematic theologians among the research materials and methods used are different, but he / they are all belong to the integrity of theological studies, in other words, but the differences between the three functions The specialization. Third, three types of theology is the functional division of labor, but with the same constant, and this is caught is the third interpretation of the Christian faith, the times related to the unique situation in the three must be a self-understanding, otherwise it would not be

this theology is based on identity and sub-sectoral, Tracy will be compared in the following five aspects to this type of three kinds of theology: basic audience, discusses the model, ethical point, theology workers self-referential understanding and truth. The first is called the foundation of traditional Catholic theology, the philosophy of Protestant theology, this theology is basically cultural, intellectual, and adopts philosophical thinking, attention to the academic theory of ethics, but need not be engaged in can participation in church groups, and Metaphysics and Epistemology in the form of referential truth. Followed by systematic theology or doctrine of theology, church groups, basically targeting the traditional emphasis on the classical interpretation, the faith groups, ethics, beliefs are often engaged members of the group to declare the traditional interpretation and expression of truth. Finally,UGG shoes, practical theology, targeted to the general public to practice to establish the theory of the community of justice, to join with the church groups who mostly have a direct or indirect relationship, and action to interpret and express the truth.

Second, Tracy and the entire space on the theology of the theoretical description of the specialized functions, and its basic premise and foundation, but the three types of theology are to be discussed in public theology, and the public nature of this theology is the witness statement of its own system of discourse, ideology and other forms of dialogue intelligibility, and and a sense of the concerns of social groups. Theology as the church of their own faith and made a theoretical situation in which, said Chan, whose primary form of discipline or doctrine is of (or Liu Xiaofeng called Type of Italy, not to be limited to any sect or within the system, whether it is God, college, university or institute,UGGs, whether it is a universal Association, the Evangelical or form of theological discourse, seen in the teachings of their own system of interpretation, and other modern disciplines of dialogue, and the reality of the times concerned about the nature of the situation. Christian theology in the modern diversity of the situation, and then can not be divorced from the reality, or of talking , but should be in its disciplinary, interdisciplinary nature and circumstances of, the establishment and development of the significance of their Faith.

third issue to be dealt with theology and the church's fault complicated relationship. Tracy will be attributable to systematic theology or theology of the church doctrine of public space, the surface appears to give the impression of a theology of church affiliation, but the actual otherwise.

In fact, strictly speaking, Calvin, Seoul, disease pen a book, finishing his education to join the movement to change the teaching experience over the years. Similarly, Barth's and the Geneva experience written in the church, as authorized in the Church, subordinate to the church, summed up is the the interaction, as in the overseas Chinese church, known for advocating a representative figure of theology known preacher Stephen Tong said:

establishment of the Church, and spread the gospel, to orthodox theology should be the starting point, and then inferring the sermon, with theology, ethics and then have a real fruit, which the Church is the sound. Theology is like part of the bone, sermons like flesh and blood person. the church to perfect, to be faith-based.

Similarly, Barthes in his Church Dogmatics to ask ourselves the question of truth,UGG boots clearance, that is, theology measure their actions, their words about God, by virtue of the existence of such a speech as the Church. Therefore, there is in this particular theological significance, and because the front of the theology and independent of it, there is the Church of speech about God. theological track it, said the church's statement, in this extent, for its correctness, the theology is not by virtue of their external standards, and the sources and objects based on their own to measure it. theology to guide the church's statement said that theology specifically, reminded the church statement said ... ... theology with the church statement said that its own but is a human 『about God's speech』, along with comments such as, theology stood in the determined, the theology of God Church of accommodation by virtue of the promise given to live.

Therefore, the relationship between theology and the church should be like a skeleton with flesh and blood, theological discourse should track it, guiding and accompanying statement said the church , both closely related to each other and correct and witnessed. theology course should serve the church, but theology also challenges the church. If the theology of the Church is subordinate to that of Martin Luther's Reformation would not have happened, but without the church's heritage and witness, theology would have no experience with the shelter material. not every worker is required is a Christian theology, but Christian theology and Christian faith there can not be divided between groups, but this relationship is not just personal, but theoretical and holistic.

Finally, we return to the , closer to the type of philosophical theology, but with the Institute, the doctrine of the Church Divinity School of Theology, then we need to default on this is to explore the tenets and teachings of the Christian doctrine of theology, the possibility of religious pluralism in the university and graduate in a seat?

University of Chicago Divinity School professor of theology teachings of the nineteenth century Jilai Si (BA Gerrish) has discussed in his articles in the same issue, he and Troy Welch Through 士莱尔马赫 teachings on theology and conducted in-depth study disciplinary analysis. Jilai Si outset that the term common in the German academic natural science emphasis or bias, seems to be unable to return to its original meaning of being, so he proposed to academic theology (academic theology) instead.

terminology is another diehard Dogmatics (dogmatics), Because of this general bias in the association for the word of authority and dogmatism (as the general situation of the Church in China), it 士莱尔马赫 and Troy Welch will be the theological doctrines which have launched a new page in history.

Jilai Si that if Christianity should be based on University of Science and Research Institute, Troy Welch must 士莱尔马赫 Theology and transformation learn from the traditional doctrine of transferred to the new doctrine of faith, exploring faith with the letter from the manager go to the Words of the Christian faith experience.

this study the transformation of traditional doctrine, the doctrine of inquiry from the traditional recognition Go to the humanities-type letter paper, which carried out the letter recognition beyond the boundaries of religion, anyone can explore the system of Christian faith, and even engaged in the construction of which, of course, there are still a lot of this tension, if the Act is very close to a culture of the humanities and the arts commitment, as we are committed to preservation and heritage of ancient Chinese literature and cultural treasures of Greece, or the religious spirit of ancient Indian civilizations, or the history of Western civilization, the essence of this human spiritual quest in the goodness, it has become a and favors a different perception and exploration, but, as Augustine said, If a man eager to seek their Faith, Hope, and certainly towards the end it will be the source of goodness and forward.

Conclusion
< br> This was the first part of that but the Christian metaphysical quest. So in terms of all those who seek to keep the letter knowledge is a method stretches the course, irrespective of believers and non believers.

second part of Act doctrine of the restructuring and heritage. Theology by Tracy function space phenomenon, the College in recognition of the doctrine of faith and heritage.

further reflection on the third part of close to the nineteenth century, the Code, and all appearance of evil, not academic context and orientation in the future how? whether it should be followed to the letter knowledge of Augustine's approach, or by the School of Theology and Philosophy of knowledge and information and weight of the line? is the reason of Calvinism discipline of the Christian Religion, or 士莱尔马赫 and Specialty Luo Erqi Doctrine of the Faith? is the Church Dogmatics Barth, Tillich suppression of systematic theology? thoughtful and thorough analysis of any of the Response must be integrated rather than neglected. because of Theology and the Christian theology in the contemporary Chinese intellectuals in the academic sector and the emergence of new opportunities. in particular the construction and expansion of Chinese theology, encompassing the philosophy of religion, philosophical theology, and even theological doctrine of the scope of 48, which has deep by the anti-intellectualism of the neglect of the teachings of the Church of naturally occurring transmission of great challenge, but triggered by a series of exchanges, dialogue and debate, we are able to re-traceability and integration of the Christian tradition the most precious and glorious doctrine of heritage, re-examine what is meant by science and knowledge science, theology and doctrine of faith and truth.

for Augustine, the truth is the more debates, not because people's eloquence and learning, but on the truth nature and structure of the Church of God in the academic and Acts
