Know the three specific aspects of a theological anthropology
humans are 1) intellectually reflective and 2) moral beings who 3) worship.
intellectually reflective beings
-focusing on the analytical and empirical apologetic methods can leave the false
impression that apologetics is exclusively an intellectual activity in which people make a
decision for or against Christianity just by sorting out all the facts
-While we do use our intellect when we make commitments and decisions, we never
make them on purely intellectual basis
moral beings
not all humans or cultures agree on a particular moral standard, but that all humans and
cultures have a moral standard and make moral judgments about what is good, bad,
appropriate, inappropriate, meaningful, and inconsequential
worshipping beings
-All people worship something
-The thing we love most is what we will serve, and what we serve is what we love most
Know the three anthropological models discussed in connection with James K. A.
Smith and which model of human beings he proposes and why ("desiring"
beings).
-Humans as primarily "thinking" beings
---Our mind is who we are, our body is merely accidental
-Humans as primarily "believing" beings
---Defined by a worldview that is pre-rational or supra-rational
-Humans as primarily "desiring" beings
---Embodied agents of desire or love
Be familiar with the section that discusses why reasons are not always enough.
-people have to want to believe
-it is human nature to "change our beliefs to fit our loves," and to be "less ready to
change our loves to fit our beliefs."
-the art of persuasion can't be boiled down to simple logic or list of the evidence
Why do we need story and imagination as part of the apologetic method?
-It makes the listener want to believe
-Affect how we see and relate to the world around us, they ultimately have a strong
effect on how we live our lives
-"basic constituent of human life; they are, in fact, one key element within the total
construction of a worldview"
native rationality
The universally shared internal mechanism that work to produce beliefs such as "the
reality of the external world..."
cultural rationality
Refers to the frameworks assumed by a culture that "further define the sorts of things"
those in that culture "consider it plausible to believe"
basic logic
