20th Century Update
Today I am going to finish Sisters in the Wilderness by Delores Williams, and after that, I will only have the following books left to read if I want to read everything on the syllabus (books marked "optional" are by an author of whom I've already read one of the two options listed on the syllabus):- A. Ritschl, The Christian Doctrine of Justification and Reconciliation (constructive portion)
- R. Niebuhr, The Nature and Destiny of Man (I read Moral Man and Immoral Society despite its not appearing on the syllabus, simply because I needed something to read on the train)
- G. Ebeling, A Theological Theory of Language
- J. Moltmann, Theology of Hope (optional)
- W. Pannenberg, Anthropology in Theological Perspective
- J. B. Metz, Faith and History
- D. Soelle, Christ the Representative
- K. Rahner, Hearers of the Word (optional)
- H. R. Niebuhr, The Meaning of Revelation (optional)
- G. Kaufmann, In the Face of Mystery
- D. Tracy, The Analogical Imagination
- D. Migliore, Faith Seeking Understanding
- R. Adler, Engendering Judaism
- J. Plaskow, Standing Again at Sinai
- C. S. Song, Theology from the Womb of Asia
- Y. B. Kim, ed., Minjung Theology
- C. H. Kyung, Struggle to Be the Sun Again
- A. Pieris, An Asian Theology of Liberation
On another note, for the medieval theology directed reading, I think we're initially going to shoot for ten authors, three from the east and seven from the west. I am particularly interested in more neglected figures, so Aquinas is not within the purview of this study. So far, in the east, I'm leaning toward giving one slot to Pseudo-Dionysius, but I'm undecided on the other two (probably John of Damascus and Gregory Palamas). In the west, I have to do the debate between Radbertus and Ratramnus (who will count as one figure for this purpose), and of course one must do Anselm, but other than that it's uncertain. Any suggestions, particularly on the western figures, would be much appreciated.
