The Theology of Stanley J. Grenz (史丹利.葛倫斯的神學)

This course explores the creative yet controversial thought of the late American evangelical postmodern theologian, Stanley J. Grenz (1950-2005), engaging critically with his key works and with the secondary literature for sake of evaluating the main lines of his proposal with regard to its continuing relevance and constructive potential in contemporary times. Especial attention will be devoted to Grenz’s personal and intellectual formation, his postfoundationalist revision of evangelical theology, his ‘social trinitarian’ theology and its implications for ecclesiology and ethics, and his scholarly reception.

By the end of this course, students will:
1. Be able to descriptively explain Grenz’s thought and place within and with respect to the intellectual, political, and ecclesial context of his milieu.
2. Be able to fruitfully engage in critical dialogue with Grenz, his supporters, and his critics by way of close readings of key primary and secondary texts.
3. Be able to reflectively apply the implications of Grenz’s thought to con-structive work in systematic theology today.
4. Be able to effectively present a (brief) formal paper within an academic theological context.
5. Be able to helpfully offer substantial critical and constructive feedback (e.g., to peers) about projects concerning Grenz’s thought.
