Written in the context of a decades-long struggle between
progressive theologians and the magisterium-a struggle symptomatic
of the current and wider crisis in the Roman Catholic Church-The
Language of Dissent uses the theology of Edward Schillebeeckx as it
has evolved and developed to analyze fundamental questions of
authority and dissent in the church. Daniel Speed Thompson's
approach to the issue of authority is unique in that he reflects
not only on the character of the church but also on the very nature
of salvation, revelation, and theological language.After briefly
describing the current crisis of authority in the Catholic Church,
Thompson describes the conceptual framework that shapes
Schillebeeckx's understanding of knowledge, language, action, and
authority. In particular, Thompson demonstrates the complex
interrelationship between experience, praxis, and language in
Schillebeeckx's three models of epistemology.With these foundations
in place, Thompson offers a synthesis of Schillebeeckx's writings
on ecclesiology and the apostolicity of the church. Thompson argues
that Schillebeeckx's writings in these areas, as well as in
epistemology and fundamental theology, not only allow for
theological dissent, but actually demand their existence within a
healthy church. Thompson concludes by suggesting that the
consistent application of Schillebeeckx's principles argue for a
democratization of the Roman Catholic Church. Incorporating
previously untranslated and new material, as well as a preface, by
Schillebeeckx, The Language of Dissent makes a substantial
contribution to contemporary Catholic theology.
