A New Ontology?: A Response to a Recent Suggestion

Abstract

In offering a constructive response to Honner's “New Ontology”, this article suggests: (1) some continuities with a number of traditional theological techniques; (2) the desirability of greater emphasis on the doctrines of creation and the Trinity; (3) the need for a more careful retrieval of some former distinctions dealing with the incarnation, the eucharist and eschatology; and (4) the foundational relevance of a more thorough-going “turn to the subject”.
