This thesis aims to analyze Buber's, Tillich's, and Pannenberg's views of alienation and to evaluate them if they do justice to the biblical materials in dealing with sin. It will also assess their position, asking “Are their views empirically verifiable? Do they overemphasize the concept at the expense of the idea of sin as the violation of God's law? Are they successful in relating alienation to the universal nature of sin? Is Jesus Christ appropriately understood in their thoughts?” Thus this thesis attempts to scrutinize them in the light of the Bible, Christology, and experience. The three theologian's views of sin which revolve around the term alienation make contribution to the relevancy of theology, especially in the academic milieu that sees the traditional discourse on sin centered on human relation to God as futile. Their approaches to the subject betray a biblical perspective without which theirs cannot be labeled ‘Christian.’ They hold almost the same Christological view, portraying Jesus as theone who truly overcame the predicament in his relation to the Father. And their empirical stance could help decipher the mystery and universality of sinful reality. On the other hand, they fail to engage themselves first on what the Bible says about sin and its consequences. They tend to move from human situation to revelation, or from the context to the text, and are successful in arriving at their conclusion by hearing what their contemporaries think, not by expositing the related biblical verses. The anthropology from below has certain advantages, but human experience should not be the decisive factor in establishing theological doctrines. Evangelical theologians need to pay attention more to the inerrant Bible than to the mutable points of view based on experience.
Abstract
This thesis aims to analyze Buber's, Tillich's, and Pannenberg's views of alienation and to evaluate them if they do justice to the biblical materials in dealing with sin. It will also assess their position, asking “Are their views empirically verifiable? Do they overemphasize the concept at the expense of the idea of sin as the violation of God's law? Are they successful in relating alienation to the universal nature of sin? Is Jesus Christ appropriately understood in their thoughts?” Thus this thesis attempts to scrutinize them in the light of the Bible, Christology, and experience. The three theologian's views of sin which revolve around the term alienation make contribution to the relevancy of theology, especially in the academic milieu that sees the traditional discourse on sin centered on human relation to God as futile. Their approaches to the subject betray a biblical perspective without which theirs cannot be labeled ‘Christian.’ They hold almost the same Christological view, portraying Jesus as theone who truly overcame the predicament in his relation to the Father. And their empirical stance could help decipher the mystery and universality of sinful reality. On the other hand, they fail to engage themselves first on what the Bible says about sin and its consequences. They tend to move from human situation to revelation, or from the context to the text, and are successful in arriving at their conclusion by hearing what their contemporaries think, not by expositing the related biblical verses. The anthropology from below has certain advantages, but human experience should not be the decisive factor in establishing theological doctrines. Evangelical theologians need to pay attention more to the inerrant Bible than to the mutable points of view based on experience.
