God the Child: Small, Weak and Curious Subversions - Graham Adams

Detalii:

We express the mystery of God with diverse metaphors, but mostly in Adult terms. In this experimental theological adventure, Graham Adams imagines what might flow from a more thorough be-child-ing of God. Aware that the Child can be idealized, he selects particular characteristics of childness in order to disrupt Gods omnipresence, omnipotence and omniscience. nn n nn The smallness of the Child re-envisages divine location in sites of smallness, like an open palm receiving the experiences of the overlooked. The weakness of the Child reimagines divine agency as chaos-event, subverting prevailing patterns of power and evoking relationships of mutuality. And the curiosity of the Child reconceives divine encounter as horizon-seeker, imaginatively and empathetically pursuing the unknown. nn n nn These possibilities are brought into dialogue both with other theologies (Black, disabled and queer) and with pastoral loss, economic/ecological injustice, and theological education. Through these conversations, God the Child emerges not only as a new model for God, but intrinsic to Gods new social reality which is close at hand. nn n nn
