Fernando Canale ; Profesor je emeritus na Adventističkom teološkom fakultetu Sveučilišta Andrews, gdje je predavao teologiju i filozofiju od 1985.

Abstract

This paper explores the possibility of developing a different theological project by grounding evangelical theology on a biblically conceived approach to the philosophical notions necessarily involved in its construction. Is such an attempt possible? What does it take to build a new theological paradigm? What would such a project entail?
We will consider how philosophy came to be used in Christian theology and the role that it played in its construction. Next we will explore the question of being from which ontology is built, the ontology on which evangelical theology is built, and the ontological “divide” generated by postmodern philosophy. After this background we will explore the possibility of building the ontological foundations of Christian theology from Scripture.
