Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert W Jenson

The more ecumenical dialogues establish agreement, the more they turn up disagreement. Why, 115 years into multilateral Christian dialogue and 60 years into bilateral dialogue, does Christian unity look farther away than ever? Why can't we all just agree? In this episode, Dad and I delve deeply into Lutheran theologian Robert W. Jenson's book Unbaptized God, which posits that the problem isn't disagreement at all—it's disastrous agreement on a faulty premise at the root of the theological enterprise. We agree and disagree with Jenson, both of which reactions prove to be tremendously fruitful. Notes: 1. Jenson, Unbaptized God 2. Apocalyptic and the Future of Theology 3.

Back in 2003 the American theologian Robert W. Jenson (1930-2017) delivered the F.D. Maurice Lectures at King's College, London. Starting from the fact that 'Christ' is a title that is inextricable from Old Testament Jewish culture, and adopting Augustine's totus Christus formulation which sees Christ as somehow also identifiable with the ongoing life of the church, Jenson explores his chosen theme of "Christ As Culture". In three stimulating lectures which were subsequently published as articles in the International Journal of Systematic Theology, he argues for an understanding of the church as a culture in the specific modes of polity, art, and drama. Matthew and Matt explore these fascinating pieces together with friend of the pod John Shelton joining in Andrew's absence."Christ as Culture 1: Christ as Polity": https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1463-1652.00112"Christ as Culture 2: Christ as Art": https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-2400.2004.00120.x"Christ as Culture 3: Christ as Drama": https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-2400.2004.00129.x

Our guest today is Chris E.W. Green, author of The End is Music: A Companion to Robert W. Jenson's Theology. Christ is Professor of Public Theology at Southeastern University (Lakeland, FL), Teaching Pastor at Sanctuary Church (Tulsa, OK) and Director of the St Anthony Institute of Theology & Philosophy.Robert Jenson has been praised by Stanley Hauerwas, David Bentley Hart, Wolfhart Pannenberg, and others as one of the most creative and important contemporary theologians. But his work is daunting for many, both because of its conceptual demands and because of Jenson's unusual prose style. This book is an attempt to give Jenson the kind of hearing that puts his creativity and significance on display, and allows newcomers to and old friends of his theology the opportunity to hear it afresh.

Episode: In this episode we discuss Lincoln Harvey's thrilling guide to the work of Robert W. Jenson (1930-2017). Jenson, arguably America's most important theologian, is so because he thinks Jesus of Nazareth is always and for ever one of the Trinity. “Mary's boy and Pilate's victim” is the Father's eternal Son, so there has never been an unfleshed Word. It follows from this that the God of the Gospel is much stranger than we imagine. Harvey's book presents an astonishingly lucid and penetrating guide into Jenson's remarkable proposal. Demonstrating Jenson's signature moves, as well as his fundamental re-working of the dogmatic tradition, Harvey shows how only an evangelized metaphysics can make sense of the identity of Jesus Christ. Our discussion in this episode thus plunges into strange territory, raising odd questions and answers to such weighty matters as the nature of time, space, God's act of creation, the centrality of Jesus, substance metaphysics and much more. The post Lincoln Harvey – Theology of Robert Jenson first appeared on OnScript.

Robert W. Jenson (1930–2017) is one of the most important, yet often overlooked and frequently misunderstood, theologians from the English-speaking world in the past century.

Explore that the Son is divine and the Spirit is divine. God is revealed in a three-fold yet united way as the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. This can be seen in Romans 8:14-17, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ..." We read in 1 Peter 1: 1-2, "To the exiles . . . who have been chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with his blood." And in 1 Corinthians 12: 4-6, "Now there are a variety of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone." Matthew 28:19 tells us, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..." Consider that there is one Name and yet a three-fold distinction. The benediction of 2 Corinthians 13:13 is Trinitarian: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you." Notice in the texts of 1 Corinthians, Matthew, and 2 Corinthians, that the order may be shifted such that 1 Corinthians mentions the Spirit first, Matthew mentions the Father first, and 2 Corinthians invokes the Son first. The accounts of Jesus’ baptism are particularly instructive. In Matthew 3: 16-17 we read, "And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” Explore that there are Three and One. Early Christians were affected by Biblical pressures in Christian worship: the way God teaches us how to relate in prayer to Him is going to be the way we come to know who He is. They also were affected by the Biblical pressure of Christian salvation, and extra-biblical language to clarify what is in the Bible. Creedal language developed to help people understand the basic meaning of Scripture. As Robert W. Jenson puts it, "It is important to see that there is indeed a hermeneutical circle between Scripture and the doctrines of Nicaea, Constantinople, and Chalcedon. The doctrines are hermeneutical principles for the reading of Scripture, and Scripture displays the doctrines." Kavin Rowe agrees, "Scripture exerts a pressure upon its interpreters to understand the God of the entire Bible as the Trinity and that this pressure is felt most acutely at the point of the intersection of the Old and New Testaments . . . To interpret the Bible in light of the doctrine of the Trinity does not, therefore, distort its basic content but penetrates to its core with respect for the reality of the divine identity, the living God outside of the text known truly by Israel and fully in Jesus Christ."
