  • Critique of the book "Dieu, la science, les preuves"

    Critique of the book "Dieu, la science, les preuves"
    Oct 13 2024
    The provided text, an excerpt from "Le Cep" magazine, critiques the book "Dieu, la science, les preuves" by Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies. The magazine argues that the book, which attempts to "prove" God through science, relies heavily on unproven scientific theories, particularly the Big Bang theory, to make its case. The text asserts that the book also diminishes the Bible's literal meaning, resorting to a "concordism" approach that interprets Biblical events through a modern scientific lens. The magazine argues that such an approach not only misrepresents the Bible, but also ultimately undermines the concept of a God who acts independently of the scientific world.

  • El Futuro Creador by Santiago Sanz

    El Futuro Creador by Santiago Sanz
    Sep 28 2024
    This text explores the relationship between the Trinity and creation in the theological work of Wolfhart Pannenberg. The author examines Pannenberg's systematic theology, focusing on his arguments for understanding God's creative activity as a Trinitarian action that unfolds throughout history and culminates in the future. The text examines the historical context of Pannenberg's arguments, analyzing how he draws upon ideas from earlier thinkers to present his distinctive perspective on the relationship between God, the world, and the historical process. The analysis highlights key concepts in Pannenberg's thought, including his notions of the "future of God," the role of the Holy Spirit, and the interrelation of creation, salvation, and eschatology. The text also critically assesses Pannenberg's ideas, exploring potential tensions and inconsistencies in his arguments and contrasting his approach with that of other theologians.

  • Evolution, randomness or neccessity by Santiago Sanz

    Evolution, randomness or neccessity by Santiago Sanz
    Sep 28 2024
    The text, an excerpt from “Evolution_hasard_ou_necessite_La_theolog.pdf,” is a scholarly paper exploring Joseph Ratzinger's (Pope Benedict XVI) theology of creation in dialogue with the scientific theories of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Jacques Monod. The author, Santiago Sanz Sánchez, argues that Ratzinger's thought is more concerned with the reality of creation than may initially appear, as he examines Ratzinger's extensive writings on the subject, including his lectures and sermons. The paper examines how Ratzinger, in his engagement with Teilhard, explores the implications of evolution for the Christian concept of creation, viewing the evolution of the cosmos and the development of consciousness as a trajectory towards Christ as the ultimate “Omega” of all things. Ratzinger also confronts the atheistic argument of Monod, who sees the evolution of life as driven by “chance and necessity,” highlighting the contradiction between a purely deterministic view of the universe and the purposeful nature of living organisms, and arguing for a more rationally based understanding of creation as an act of Divine Intelligence.

  • Creation and Alliance by Santiago Sanz

    Creation and Alliance by Santiago Sanz
    Sep 28 2024
    The text, an excerpt from a book by Santiago Sanz, examines the relationship between creation and covenant in contemporary theology. It traces the development of this theme from its roots in the biblical scholarship of Gerhard von Rad and the theological work of Karl Barth, through subsequent critiques and refinements, to a consideration of various interpretative keys employed by theologians. Sanz proposes five key perspectives: the anthropological, cosmological, christological, eschatological, and ontological. Each key highlights a distinct aspect of this complex relationship, with their relative strengths and limitations explored. Finally, Sanz advocates for an ontological perspective, drawing upon the Thomistic concept of actus essendi, to articulate a nuanced understanding of creation and covenant in terms of participation and divine grace.
