Remythologizing Theology: Divine Action, Passion, and Authorship

---

The rise of modern science and the proclaimed death of God in the nineteenth century led to a radical questioning of divine action and authorship - Bultmann s celebrated demythologizing . Remythologizing Theology moves in another direction that begins by taking seriously the biblical accounts of God s speaking. It establishes divine communicative action as the formal and material principle of theology, and suggests that interpersonal dialogue, rather than impersonal causality, is the keystone of God s relationship with the world. This original contribution to the theology of divine action and authorship develops a new vision of Christian theism. It also revisits several long-standing controversies such as the relations of God s sovereignty to human freedom, time to eternity, and suffering to love. Groundbreaking and thought-provoking, it brings theology into fruitful dialogue with philosophy, literary theory, and biblical studies.
