Beschreibungen

In 1 John: On Docetism and Resurrection (2016), the author elucidated the fundamental principles driving the modern order. The latter works according to a novel form of salvation, an ontology unto dissolution that the author recognizes as a new manifestation of the ancient heresy of docetism. The modern heresy turns on faith in the Christ-Idol, an idolatry hidden for centuries beneath the cover of Western Christianity. Its theological solution requires renewed engagement with the Trinitarian love, understanding that love as a function of mutual life-giving between the divine persons. The revised and extended version of 1 John assumes the undoing of Western society under the docetic ethos, seeking theological foundations for the society that might follow. It details the meaning of various aspects of docetic (modern) society through a Johannine lens, explaining these aspects as forms of oppression. The author counters these through the Eastern Orthodox focus on the inner life over the external one, the spiritual world over the physical, and the proper appreciation of hierarchy as opposed to docetic equality.
L. Daniel Cantey Jr. resides with his family in Clarksville, Tennessee. After completing his master’s in theology at Yale and his doctorate at Emory, he taught religion and philosophy from 2012–2019 at Bethel University (McKenzie, Tennessee). Mr. Cantey converted to Eastern Orthodoxy from Protestantism in 2013.

“Cantey provides an accessible understanding of Docetism, which is arguably the central reality of a cosmos and existence in that cosmos ripped from its anchor in God. Many familiar with this term will recognize it as one of the false beliefs confronted by the early church, while Cantey describes a new form of Docetism and its underpinning philosophy of dualism. .&#xa0;.&#xa0;. The current docetic age, according to the author, is marked by ‘the terror of the soul deprived of God,’ and he counters the angst of this condition by leading his readers to the remedy in the undivided church of Jesus Christ. Cantey accurately identifies the illness and compassionately points the way to the cure.”
