Bevans' arguments
Use of models
Models are constructions, ideal types, to be taken seriously but not literally (p29)
Models are disclosative of reality, provide an angle of vision (p30)
Exclusive or complementary, systematic or descriptive (p30)
Niebuhr is exclusive, his types are paradigms (p30)
-
Theoretical models, simplifying a complex reality, although that simplicity does not capture reality, but does yield true knowledge of it (p31)
Schreiter describes Bevans' use of models as heuristic [involving or serving as an aid to learning, discovery, or problem-solving by experimental and especially trial-and-error methods] (p x)
-
Context
-
-
Context is: individual and collective, about secular or religious culture [?], about cocial location, about social change (p5-6)
No such thing as theology, only contextual theology (p3)
