However, when a miracle is defined in this way, the miraculous ‘divine actions’ should be considered completely separate from all ‘natural actions’ in our nature/universe. Since both natural order/law and miracles are given to this world by God’s common divine actions, we need a new interpretation beyond such a complete separation of the two. \u0000So now we may ask if we can find a single law/principle given by the same God and explain natural actions and transcendental divine actions as one comprehensive concept of ‘the divine actions’ by that law/principle. Therefore, if the natural order/law given by God the Creator in this nature/universe can be expanded to include miraculous divine actions, it will be possible to explain miracles through the ‘expanded natural order/law’. \u0000This article attempts to expand the ‘principle of least action’, which has been accepted as the most important principle in existing physics, to include the ‘divine action’. In particular, I would like to show that the quantum version of the ‘principle of least divine action’ is the principle that allows even supernatural miracles to be explained. This article attempts to present a modern, scientific, and original interpretation of the concept of miracles through the introduction of the new principle.","PeriodicalId":370969,"journal":{"name":"The Society of Theology and Thought","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128898848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The narrative settings of the institutions in Exodus and in the Passion of Jesus show that both the Passover and the Eucharist convey the memory of cultural trauma and its resilient transformation.

{"title":"The Historicity of Jesus’ Miracles a the Hermineutical Study of Miracles","authors":"Woon Chul Baik","doi":"10.21731/ctat.2022.86.51","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21731/ctat.2022.86.51","url":null,"abstract":"One of the most remarkable things about Jesus' actions is miracles. The four Gospels report healing, exorcism, raising the dead and performing many natural miracles. Are these miracle stories historically true? In modern times, commentators, such as Bultmann, who have been influenced by a mechanistic world-view, regard the miracle of Jesus as a myth or a product of imagination, created from apologetic motives. As a result of analyzing the texts by the historical-critical method, avoiding ideological prejudices, this paper reaches the conclusion that Jesus clearly performed the miracle of healing, exorcism, and raising the dead. Jesus declared that the kingdom of God has come upon you if I cast out demons by the finger of God. Likewise, through miracles, Jesus made the apocalyptic expectation of future salvation present. \u0000A miracle is already a new heaven and a new earth on a small scale. With power they had received from Jesus, the disciples of the early church performed miracles that Jesus performed and they proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom of God. However, the miracle of Jesus' healing was reinterpreted by christological perspectives in the theology of the cross and resurrection, and the power of exorcism began to be replaced by baptism in the Holy Spirit. At thre same, this wonderful charismatic power gradually disappeared in the church, \u0000How should Jesus' miracles be understood today? What are the challenges of today's scientific worldview to the miracles, and miracle faith? This paper presents a preliminary reflection on these topics as a conclusion.","PeriodicalId":370969,"journal":{"name":"The Society of Theology and Thought","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124723090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Study of Miracle Stories in the Old Testament, Focused on the Sea Event of Exodus 14","authors":"Y. Kim","doi":"10.21731/ctat.2022.86.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21731/ctat.2022.86.8","url":null,"abstract":"This article poses a perennial question of what miracles are and of whether miracles can really happen from the perspectives of the Old Testament and its authors. It aims to clarify the definition of miracles that the books of the Old Testament (to be abbreviated as OT hereafter) describe, to examine its differences from the modern definition of miracles by comparison, and to suggest how to read and understand the miracle stories of the OT. \u0000Our inquiry about miracles proceeded in three steps. First, I examined the meanings and lexical usages of various terms for miracles in the OT to figure out the definition of miracles that the authors of the OT might have kept in their mind. The terms for miracles are ’ôt, môpët, Gübûrâ, pele, niplä’ôt, Güdôlöt, and the like. Interestingly none of these correspond with the modern terms of miracle. \u0000Secondly, I analyzed the text of Exodus 14 which narrates the Sea Event, one of the representative miracle stories in the Hebrew Bible. Referring to the achievements of historical critical studies on this text, I distinguished various motives and traditions inherent in the text, and attempted to grasp its core messages, revealed through their polyphonic voices. By and large two themes are found in Exodus 14. One is about God’s sovereignty. God is described as the one who freely exploits either the power of nature or supernatural force and smashes Pharaoh’s chariots and his whole army. The other is about God’s protection for his people and about proper response to it. Since the same God is the one who protects and supports the Israelites, they should fear and trust in him. These themes are repeated in the phrases which recount the Sea Event. By the way, scholars, who tend to acknowledge the historicity of the core substance of the story, accept the naturalistic explanation of the event from the text, while disregarding the supernatural descriptions of it as either a secondary source or a later embellishment. As a result, such attempts lead to neglecting some integral elements in the text. Their efforts to make believe the story, by eliminating supernatural and mythic components of the text, lead to miss the important themes that Exodus 14 conveys. \u0000Third, it would be necessary to examine the ways in which the ancient Israelites perceived the world, history and nature in order to understand the miracle stories in the OT. They had not questioned the possibility of miracles. Instead, they took it for granted that God can intervene in nature and history at any time he needs since he is the Lord who governs his created world and the world keeps its integrity only with God’s support. \u0000Ancient Israelites’ understanding of miracles is closely connected with their belief that God is always working in the history of salvation. Biblical miracle stories were written down and transmitted for the purpose of strengthening and edifying their faith in God. In this sense, the story of the Sea Event in Exodus 14 had a great influence ","PeriodicalId":370969,"journal":{"name":"The Society of Theology and Thought","volume":"28 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131589469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Choi","doi":"10.21731/ctat.2022.86.240","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21731/ctat.2022.86.240","url":null,"abstract":"This article is to examine whether the Christian marriage can be a locus of ‘spiritual practice’ and virtue of ‘self-care’ development. The goal of this study is to trace the genealogical history of the Magisterial teachings on marriage, which has revealed how the value of ‘spiritual practice’ and the technology of ‘self-care’ have been developed, for the sake of one’s personal ‘salvation’. To do this, this study explores how Michel Foucault’s study of self-care can help to discuss the Magisterial teachings on marriage. Although Foucault has never dealt with the Christian marital doctrine, this study tries to discuss it genealogically, by using Foucault’s insights which analyze the fourth-century Christian Fathers’ theological statements of marriage. By using Foucault’s The History of Sexuality, Vol.4: the Confessions of the Flesh, as an analyzing lens, this study explores the subject of self-perception and of self-cultivation, which is the subject that Christian conjugal life has embraced for a long time. By comparing the Church Fathers’ theological statements about the marriage, in particular analyzing the sermons and writings of Chrysostomus and Augustinus in the fourth century, this study traces the history of using marriage as an art of renunciation for the sake of one’s salvation. This study finds these historical traces of marital art in the Documents of the Second Vatican Council, especially in the Gaudium et spes once again. Finally, this finds the same traces in Pope Francisco’s Amoris Laetitia in which marriage has been confirmed as a locus of the spiritual practice and the virtue development for the sake of cultivating self-reflection and personal fulfillment.","PeriodicalId":370969,"journal":{"name":"The Society of Theology and Thought","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134552038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
