Postmodern Protestantism: Christological Innovations of Emerging Church
Journal Title: Мultiversum. Philosophical almanac - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze the Christological doctrine of the Emerging church. The theologians of this church rethought the traditional Christological doctrine in accordance with the post-conservative theological paradigm. They insist that the knowledge of Christ could be obtained not through the biblical theological statements but only based on human experience of Him in history and in life. The key thinkers of the Emerging church claim that classic definition of redemption includes– metaphors (redemption, propitiation) taken from the Greco-Roman culture. They reject the idea of the atoning death of Jesus Christ because it creates the image of punishing and cruel God. Some Emerging church theologians reject the doctrines of original sin and the innate sinfulness of humanity. The movement emphasizes importance of the moral example of Christ, rejecting the role of Christ as a sacrifice for purification of sin.
