Ecclesiology
I began writing my doctoral dissertation on Protestant ecclesiology. However, I found myself in the opposite situation to Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Rather than writing an ecclesiology (Communion of Saints) which would clear the way for metaphysics (Act and Being), the crisis of contemporary postmodern critique of metaphysics forced me to develop an account of metaphysics which could clear the way for ecclesiology. My aim therefore is to bring my doctoral work on Protestant metaphysics to bear upon ecclesiology today, and in so doing go beyond my earlier Master of Arts research on philosophical hermeneutics and cultural theory.
