This is the first volume of Robert Cumming Neville's magnum opus,
Theology as Symbolic Engagement. Neville is the premier American
systematic theologian of our time. His work is profoundly
influenced by Paul Tillich, Friedrich Schleiermacher, and the
American pragmatists John Dewey and Charles Sanders Pierce. From
Tillich he takes the notion of religion, art, and morality as
symbol, and the notion that religion is the substance of culture
and culture the form of religion. Thus, theology is symbolic
engagement with cultural forms, and Neville explores the ways that
such engagement occurs among various religious traditions. One of
the most important tasks in theology is to devise ways of testing,
correcting, or affirming claims that we had been unable to question
before. This book will argue that "system" in theology is not
merely correlating assertions, but rather building perspectives
from which we can render the various parts of theology vulnerable
for assessment. In fact, one of the unique features of this book is
its engagement with other religions. Such dialogue has been a
feature of Neville's work from the beginning. Theology as Symbolic
Engagement breaks the boundaries of systematic theology and moves
away from the static character that characterizes such enterprises
from Barth onward. Instead, Neville's book showcases the dynamic
character of all theology. The hallmark of this entire project is
its effort to show theology to be hypothetical and to make it
vulnerable to correction.
