Thompson, J., Pattison, S., & Thompson, R. (2008). SCM studyguide to theological reflection . London: SCM Press
Negative capability - a readiness to let go of the security based on long-held opinions and assumptions, and accept for as long is needful, a state of doubt, uncertainty and mystery; and a Willing suspension of disbelief when the next step is taken, to look anew at what can be learned from the exploration of text and tradition that has been undertaken. 104
Test of whether a kairos moment has been genuine is not how wonderful and uplifting it felt or how clearly everything seemed to come together, but the change of attitude and practice that has resulted 110
To gain credence in the academy theological arguments must be philosophically sound; in the church firmly based in Christian scripture and tradition ; in the wider society people must find theology personally and corporately meaningful, challenging and liberating, leading to a richer life. 158.
Theological moods David ford
Indicative - it is raining - nature of reality aiming to describe the world.
Subjunctive - it might rain - what if to express imagination.
Interrogative - it is raining - question search and inquiry. How's what's and why's
Optative - if only it would rain - wish hope and desire. Mystical leaving new hopes, desires, choices, yearnings, and prayers.
Imperative - rain!- authority and command 159 ff
Irenaeus 'the glory of god is a human being fully alive' against the heresies 169.
