Philosophical Theology (philosophical + theology)
Selected AbstractsNEW HORIZONS IN CATHOLIC PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY: FIDES ET RATIO AND THE CHANGED STATUS OF THOMISMTHE HEYTHROP JOURNAL, Issue 1 2006HAROLD E. ERNSTArticle first published online: 21 DEC 200 The author considers Pope John Paul II's 1998 encyclical, Fides et ratio, as bringing into view new horizons for Catholic philosophical theology by virtue of its endorsement of a constrained philosophical pluralism. Through a retrospective examination of the history of magisterial interventions as depicted in the encyclical, the author notes how a progressive openness to philosophical pluralism relates to the changed status of Thomism within magisterial teaching on the practice of Catholic philosophical theology. Fides et ratio describes an evolution in magisterial emphasis from proscription to prescription, which corresponds to change in the status of Thomism from an absolute to an exemplary norm. Attention to this decisive shift in the normative status of Thomism, as implied within the encyclical itself, provides both new illumination on the Pope's general intentions and new clarity with regard to some contested interpretive issues. Finally, the author highlights several new challenges that are implied by this development in magisterial teaching.

Haddad [source] WHAT SIN IS: A DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSISMODERN THEOLOGY, Issue 4 2009JESSE COUENHOVEN Sin is clearly evil, but what differentiates sin from evil? The idea that sin is moral evil is widely held, but important theological arguments have been posed against it. Theologians who reject sin moralism have, however, found it hard to distinguish sin from evil,partially because they share hidden assumptions with sin moralists. Helped by a philosophical theology of deep responsibility, I propound sin responsibilism: sin is culpable evil. This analysis of sin is open to multiple accounts of sin's relation to morality or theories of responsibility, and thus of sin's scope,but I defend a non-moralistic, compatibilist sin responsibilism.
