eBook
God, Mystery, and Mystification
2019
Overview
In God, Mystery, and Mystification , Denys Turner
presents eight essays covering the major issues of philosophical
and practical theology that he has focused on over the fifty years
of his academic career. While a somewhat heterogeneous collection,
the chapters are loosely linked by a focus on the mystery of God
and on distinguishing that mystery from merely idolatrous
mystifications.
The book covers three main fields: theological epistemology,
medieval and early modern mystical theologies, and the relation of
Christian belief to natural science and politics. Turner develops
the implications of a moderate realist account of theological
knowledge as distinct from a fashionable, postmodernist
epistemology. This modern realist epistemology is embodied in
connections between theoretical, speculative theologies and the
practice of the Christian faith in a number of different ways, but
mainly as bearing upon the practical, lived connections between
faith and reason, between reason and the mystical, between faith
and science, and among faith, prayer, and politics. Scholars and
advanced students of theology, religious studies, the history of
ideas, and medieval thought will be interested in this book.
