Both Irenaeus and Tertullian address the issue of “the rule of faith” in a context where they fight adversaries or heretics. The argument of both writers reaches a climax when they point out how cento-writers composed new stories or texts by lifting lines verbatim from classical epics. Thus, they kept the words (verba) and altered the stories (res or sensus). This article takes this analogy as point of departure in a way not yet done, and finds that ancient rhetoric, with ideals of literary composition, arrangement and order, is decisive for how both Irenaeus and Tertullian present the rule of faith. This applies to both terminology and the illustrations they use. The rule of faith is the intended story of Scripture, which is naturally discerned from there in a way analogous to how historians were expected to arrange their stories. Lucian of Samosata and Dionysius of Halicarnassus provide helpful analogies.

This article examines the place of religion and metaphysics in the agonistic political theory of Chantal Mouffe. The first section introduces Mouffe’s agonistic project and points to its normative postsecular implications. The second section presents her key engagements with religion and shows a development in her thought from a more restrictive secularist model toward a more open approach to religion in the public sphere. I suggest that an uncritical adoption of a modern view of religion is a hindrance to her account and in tension with her agonistic assumptions. In the final section I examine how Mouffe deals with the limits of pluralism and religious interventions in politics and argue that her agonistic theory has insufficiently recognized the inescapability of faith and metaphysics in political theorizing. I suggest that adopting a more postsecular agonism would promote rather than squash pluralism and increase the terrain of political contestation and democratic possibilities.

According to Wolfhart Pannenberg, systematic theology should aim at being as coherent as possible as a test of all its inherent truth claims. But what if two systematic theologies are argued to be coherent presentations of the Christian faith, yet include different and conflicting claims? This is a relevant question raised by Pannenberg’s philosophical-theological method which he does not answer adequately. In this article, we will suggest a solution to the problem. We use resources in Rescher’s and Puntel’s philosophies for using and specifying an aspect of coherence called “cohesiveness”, looking further into the strength of connections and their granularity. Cohesiveness and granularity cannot only be used as criteria for evaluating a systematic theology as a whole, but also for determining which elements are most important to integrate into systematic theology.
