2. A Theology of Meaning
A Theology of Meaning is a post-denominational approach to Christian thought, designed to address the realities of a post-Christian, post-secular age.
The theology of meaning proposes a core revisioning of Christian theological expression, not as abstract dogma but through its existential significance—focusing on how Christian claims address the human search for meaning, wholeness, and wisdom.
This approach centers on rendering the existential meaning of Christian claims without prematurely settling debates over their underlying metaphysical or historical truth. This suspension of judgment allows space for dialogue with contemporary minds that may question traditional theological assertions.
The project frames this theology epistemologically through an integrated use of evidential reasoning, Historical Jesus scholarship, mythopoesis (the creative shaping of myth), and metaphorical understanding.
The result is a theology that honors the Christian tradition but translates its core insights into a contemporary mindset. It offers a powerful, practical, and transformative renewal of Christian thinking and living by making the tradition’s timeless wisdom accessible and meaningful to today’s culture, promoting a lived Christianity that addresses the crisis of meaning characteristic of modernity.
