A Contextual Application of The Unicity and Universality of Christ in the Context of Religious Pluralism: A Lubacian Hermeneutic.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis will argue that when it comes to the important question of the relationship between the church and those who are not part of it, de Lubac’s response to the question is novel. His writings on the social dimension of dogma are the key to opening up a dialogue with non-Christian religions. The social dimension of dogma de Lubac saw rooted in mystery,highlighting the unique Christian contribution to the right understanding of history and community. We will explore the theological implication of de Lubac’s view that humanity cannot be fully understood apart from Christ. Also, we will make a critical examination of de Lubac’s arguments of how he believes people outside the Judeo-Christian tradition can attain salvation throughthe Church. The thesis will critically examine the different writings ofde Lubac on how he views other faiths and people who do not profess any religion. We will show how de Lubac’s method can serve as a mirror for gauging subsequent theological reflections on whether salvation is possible outside Christianity. Our thesis evaluates how de Lubac explains the theological understanding that the grace of Christ works outside the visible boundaries of the Church. We will argue that linking aspects of de Lubac’s writings on non-Christian religions will assist us in responding to thecomplex challenge of engagement with people of other faiths in the socio-cultural and political context of Nigeria.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
