Week 8- Bevans Chapter 8 (Transcentdental Model)

The transcendental model is slightly more ambiguous than the previous models and contains a great deal of overlap with other ways of doing contextual theology. Bevans proposes that the transcendental model is more concerned with the process of doing theology than with the product or results of that theology. That is, the transcendental theologian is both highly aware of their own position as theologizing subject and that which one has been converted to and with (traditional Christian theology, liturgy, specific Christian thinkers). The self's wrestling with the new thoughts produces an authentically contextualized theology.
