This book uses the insights of cognitive linguistics to argue for
the possibility of differentiated consensus between separated
churches. The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification,
signed by the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic
Church in 1999, represents the high water mark of the
twentieth-century ecumenical movement. It declares that the
sixteenth-century condemnations related to justification do not
condemn the teachings of the partner church. Some critics reject
the agreement, arguing that a consensus that is differentiated is
not actually a consensus. In this book, Jakob Karl Rinderknecht
shows that mapping the "cognitive blends" that structure meaning
can reveal underlying agreement within apparent theological
contradictions. He traces Lutheran and Catholic positions on sin in
the baptized, especially the Lutheran simul iustus et peccator and
the Catholic insistence that concupiscence in the baptized is not
sin. He demonstrates that the JDDJ reconciles these positions, and
therefore that a truly differentiated consensus is possible.
