Abstract
AbstractStanley Hauerwas and Gavin D'Costa develop theological arguments for inclusion of constructive theology in Universities' curricula; Andrew Shanks offers an equivalent. They share the conviction that the practice of theology cannot be separated from religious practices. Beyond that, however, their arguments scarcely intersect, in part because of differing analyses of the “secularity” that underwrites the academy's skepticism of theology as a “discipline.” Hauerwas analyses secularity theologically; Shanks urges that even secular societies exhibit “will to Honesty” (think, perhaps, “ultimate concern”) that is inherently religious and theological; D'Costa argues that central to secular liberalism is a commitment to genuine pluralism that ought to foster theologies in their particularities.
