David Tracy – författare

In Blessed Rage for Order, David Tracy examines the cultural context in which theological pluralism emerged. Analyzing orthodox, liberal, neo-orthodox, and radical models of theology, Tracy formulates a new 'revisionist' model. He considers which methods promise the most certain results for a revisionist theology and applies his model to the principal questions in contemporary theology, including the meanings of religion, theism, and of christology.

An essential addition to any serious theological library. David Tracy introduces his influential concept of the ""classic,"" as well as his idea of the difference between analogical and other ways of viewing the life of faith. He looks at the culture of pluralism, examining the main differences in the world's theological doctrines.

La prueba definitiva de la ortodoxia cristiana es la prueba de un estilo de vida genuinamente cristiano. Desde un punto de vista hermenéutico, el significado preciso de todas las proposiciones doctrinales está determinado por su uso en un contexto históricamente determinado. Estas proposiciones continúan siendo válidas, pero siempre necesitan nuevas formulaciones culturales y lingüísticas en la conversación cada vez más intercultural de la Iglesia global. No existe una cultura, una tradición o una ortodoxia inocentes. La teología contemporánea hará bien en aplicar la hermenéutica occidental moderna: recuperación, crítica, sospecha, seguidas por una recuperación más informada. Se propone una cuádruple visión que pluraliza el enfoque teológico místico-político de épocas anteriores.

David Tracy is widely considered the most important Catholic theologian in North America, known for his pluralistic vision and disciplinary breadth. His first book in more than twenty years reflects Tracy's range and erudition, collecting essays from the 1980s to 2018 into a two-volume work that will be greeted with joy by his admirers and praise from new readers.In the first volume, Fragments, Tracy gathers his most important essays on broad theological questions, beginning with the problem of suffering across Greek tragedy, Christianity, and Buddhism. The volume goes on the address the problem of the Infinite, and the many attempts to categorize and name it by Plato, Aristotle, Rilke, Heidegger, and others. In the remaining essays, he reflects on questions of the invisible, contemplation, sunyata, hermeneutics, and public theology. Throughout, Tracy evokes the potential of fragments (understood both as concepts and events) to shatter closed systems and open us to difference and Infinity. Covering science, literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and non-Western religious traditions, Tracy provides in Fragments a guide for any open reader to rethink our fragmenting contemporary culture.
