| John Thornhill SM was one of Australiaâ s most distinguished and respected theologians, known and loved for his dedication to the Catholic community, his gentleness and kindness, and his zeal for the Gospel. Apart from his several books, including Sign and Promise: A Theology of the Church for a Changing World (1988), and Making Australia: Exploring Our National Conversation (1992), John contributed many articles to theological debate, and Thomas Ryan sm and ATF Press have done us and Johnâ s legacy a fine service in gathering together some of these articles in this volume. The essays collected here bear witness to key concerns of Johnâ s theological and pastoral work: the centrality of Jesus and his Gospel, the proclamation of the good news, to Christian faith; ecumenism, including a grateful recognition of Protestantismâ s emphasis on the Gospel of salvation; awareness of cultural and historical circumstances, and the imperative for the Church to understand and creatively respond to the concrete contexts that its members inhabit; the centrality of Scripture to Christian faith, and the importance of a theology of Scripture in the life of the Church; a theology that engages at the highest intellectual level with key currents of thought, and, as an â open orthodoxyâ , is receptive to whatever is true and life-giving in them. This collection reveals the heart of Johnâ s theological vocation: to bring thought and scholarship to the service of believers, to enable the Gospel to come alive in their midst. Johnâ s Marist charism emphasises a quiet, receptive presence to God: in these articles we are given some of the fruits of his own attentive presence, for the sake of serving and accompanying the pilgrim Church. |
