- Abstract
- Most Unitarian Universalist theologies since Emerson have been based on the direct intuition of intangible, eternal truths. The author proposes that religious truth is always experiential and therefore necessarily participative (tangible), historical/evolutionary (non-eternal), and interpretive (non-intuitive). Focus on the intuitive, eternal and intangible led Ralph Burhoe to develop a scientific theology, Duncan Howlett a rational-critical theology, and Peter Fleck a spiritually dualistic Christian theology in the early 1980s. Acknowledging Alice Blair Wesley and John Hayward as precursors, the author criticizes the theologies of Burhoe, Howlett, and Fleck in light of hermeneutic principles developed from Gadamer's Truth and Method.
