Summary |
- He said during his consecration, his vocation to defend and promote faith
- Sometimes he sometimes strange to express opinions, eg on the Shroud of Turin or the priority of the Gospel of John , or, in his speech to the House of Lords against the censorship of Lady Chatterley's Lover
Work
- It proclaims the death of God and, as Paul Tillich (for other reasons), wants to use the word supendre time for a moratorium leading to understand what men call and,
- He rejects the idea of a personal god.
These ideas had been dragging on for years among thinkers and audiences within the faculties of theology in Tbingen , Bern or even Paris. The most interesting developments of theology came from continental environments germanophones among Catholics as among Protestants, with personalities such as Jrgen Moltmann , Hans Kng , Karl Barth , Emil Brunner , Rudolf Bultmann and Paul Tillich.
Honest to God ( 1963 )
This book has revealed the theological debate in the halls and streets. 1 million copies sold in 4 years fuente. The delay in translation may be a cause of the impact of the work of Robinson. The debate made the headlines though Shaking the Foundations (Shaking the foundations) of Tillich was translated under the title once in 1949 and New Testament and Mythology . We pretend to believe that Christianity will explode because Robinson presents a new theology, a new ethics situational and existential.
