In this paper I would like to discuss three rival versions of theological genealogy that are popular today. In doing so I seek to offer a few examples of how the most recent scholarly turn to theology is ultimately being driven by disparate political ideologies. The first one I describe as new Catholic modernity critiques, which often emphasize the breakdown of moral consensus brought on by Protestantism, theological nominalism, etc. The second are proponents of what I describe as a Left Hegelian project of detheologization—scholars on the political Left who in recognizing the theological origins of modernity seek to overcome theology in order to advance a progress project (Roberto Unger and Samuel Moyn). Finally, I will discuss the so-called post-secularists (Jürgen Habermas, Hans Joas, Charles Taylor) who see modernity neither as morally incoherent, nor theology as a bad thing; rather, these scholars argue that secularism and “the Judeo-Christian tradition” developed together and therefore can mutually enrich each other. |
