Description
This volume is the fruit of the eleventh Leuven Encounters in Systematic
Theology (LEST XI) which was organized by Leuven's Faculty of Theology
and Religious Studies from 11-14 October, 2017. On the occasion of the
five-hundredth anniversary of the Reformation, this conference focused
on the ongoing need for the renewal and reform of the Churches, a
desideratum encapsulated in the well-known adage, Ecclesia semper
reformanda. The quest for such renewal constitutes a challenge for
theologians of all confessional traditions. This volume focuses
particularly on the themes and topics that were at the forefront of the
theological controversies which raged during the transitional period
between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, some of which are
still unresolved.
Part I focuses on the foundations of theology, viz. Scripture,
tradition(s), and/or reason. Part II investigates the important
theological issues that have their roots in the Reformation Era,
including the tensile relationship between sin, grace, free will,
justification and sanctification, and the controversies related to the
Eucharist, including the notion of sacrifice. Part III examines
democratization and leadership structures in the Church. Part IV
explores what a historically-informed awareness can contribute to an
ecumenically-oriented reflection on the renewal and reform of the Church
today.
