초록
The aim of this article is to grope for the prospect of the desirable panentheistic vision by comparing the main points of panentheism with those of classical theism. Classical theism is the mainstream doctrine of God in the Christian tradition. It was formed in the ancient Hellenistic influenced by the ideas of Greek philosophers such as Plato, Plotinus and Aristotle, and has been worked out and carried on in the western theological tradition. Classical Theism asserts that God is transcendent, selfsufficient, eternal, and immutable. It also emphasizes the apathy and the impassivity of God. In the dualistic point of view, classical theism separates God, the Creator, and the world created. Panentheism, the term devised by Karl C, F. Krause, says that God is present in “All” while being transcendent at the same time. Panentheism emphasizes the intimate relationship between God and the world. God gives human beings the freedom to choose among the possibilities, which is the prerequisite of responsibilities. The power of God is neither one-sided nor compulsory but persuasive and patient. It is the power of love, which is nothing other than God. This view can be maintained on the basis of biblical proofs, too. One of the useful analogies which well explains the panentheistic relationship between God and the world is the mind/body model. It’s an alternative model to overcome the dualistic world-view of classical theism and to contribute to understanding the organic relationship of God and the world, though this analogia has a weak point to maintain the transcendence of God as creator. So the hermeneutic task is required. Classical theism in the traditional form has many differences from panentheism, yet the actively revised classical theism, which admits the participation of God into time and world, and recognizes the mutual relationship between them can be a good theological companion and dialogical partner with panentheism.
Abstract
The aim of this article is to grope for the prospect of the desirable panentheistic vision by comparing the main points of panentheism with those of classical theism. Classical theism is the mainstream doctrine of God in the Christian tradition. It was formed in the ancient Hellenistic influenced by the ideas of Greek philosophers such as Plato, Plotinus and Aristotle, and has been worked out and carried on in the western theological tradition. Classical Theism asserts that God is transcendent, selfsufficient, eternal, and immutable. It also emphasizes the apathy and the impassivity of God. In the dualistic point of view, classical theism separates God, the Creator, and the world created. Panentheism, the term devised by Karl C, F. Krause, says that God is present in “All” while being transcendent at the same time. Panentheism emphasizes the intimate relationship between God and the world. God gives human beings the freedom to choose among the possibilities, which is the prerequisite of responsibilities. The power of God is neither one-sided nor compulsory but persuasive and patient. It is the power of love, which is nothing other than God. This view can be maintained on the basis of biblical proofs, too. One of the useful analogies which well explains the panentheistic relationship between God and the world is the mind/body model. It’s an alternative model to overcome the dualistic world-view of classical theism and to contribute to understanding the organic relationship of God and the world, though this analogia has a weak point to maintain the transcendence of God as creator. So the hermeneutic task is required. Classical theism in the traditional form has many differences from panentheism, yet the actively revised classical theism, which admits the participation of God into time and world, and recognizes the mutual relationship between them can be a good theological companion and dialogical partner with panentheism.
