- Hick - instrumental evil, universalism, eschatological fulfilment
- anyone may come to God
- critic of Augustine as he appeared to exclusivist- what about
those who haven't heard the gospel?
^ The Eden story becomes harder to rationalise when one takes
into account the origins of Christianity and Jesus Christ being
around 2000 years ago, when human civilisation predates this
massively
( Pluralism synoptic link )
- Pelagius- did not see evil as a privatio boni but something
that humans might overcome on-earth and achieve salvation for
themselves
- besides, as Schleiermacher argues, it appears irrational and log-
ically contradictory to believe that a perfect world would somehow
fail
- and to assume from this that there is a permanent emnity
between God and man is in itself fallacious, this inherent negativity
is an a posteriori synthetic presumption which isn't compatible with
Augustine criticisms modern day perceptions on sex and free will
-^ as such Augustine might be criticsed for his mythical and picto-
rial way of presenting the Fall--> idea of permanent emnity is hard
to reconcile with
- Pinker--> Christianity responsible for cruelty, we need to instead
use the humanitarian principle
- whereas Judaism by contrast celebrates sexual relationships
- contrasts secular on human nature of evolutionary biologists
- nuance- Hobbes v Rousseau- the nature of human nature
- could consider existentialist ideas of JP Sartre and Libertarian
ideals of JS MIll
Pinker--> Christianity is responsible for cruelty, need to revert to
the humanitarian principle --> BRITISH HUMANIST ASSOCIA-
TION
Freud --> 'infantile neurosis'
ESCHATOLGOGY, QUESTION OF HOW PEOPLE MIGHT BE
SAVED - SOTERIOLOGY
Genesis 25:8 - Abraham is 'gathered to his people'
Revelation 21 - ' the great city was of transparent glass' v. Hell -->
'fiery lake of burning sulphur'
Aquinas--> Beatific Vision, ' simultaneity' face-to-face encounter
with God
2 Corinthians 5:1-3--> ' eternal house in heaven' as opposed to
on-earth 'tent' on-earth
John's gospel--> 'my father's house has many rooms'
Matthew 25--> Sheep and Goats parable, seems like a literal idea
Death and the Afterlife- Heaven and Hell as actual places
HICK'S REPLICA THEORY+ The Catholic Church maintains that
Heaven and Hell are actual places
heaven as the perfection of creation, Aristotelian-Thomistic flour-
ishing--> is this too anthropomorphic?
immortality and God as 2 of 3 Kantian postulates
Revelation 21- 'fiery lake of burning sulphur'
Dante Alighieri's ' The Divine Comedy' (1321)--> literal tour of
Hell's 9 circles
