Curriculum Vitae
The Rev. Paul R. Hinlicky, Ph.D., is the Tise Professor of Lutheran Studies at Roanoke College, where previously he had held the Jordan-Trexler Professorship of Religion and Philosophy. He began teaching part-time for Web-based seminary, the Institute of Lutheran theology (ilt.org) in 2010. Ordained a Lutheran minister in 1978 in a predecessor body of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, he has been the pastor of the New River Parish, Blacksburg, Virginia, in partnership with his wife Ellen (2003-2008), and previously assistant to the pastor at St Mark Lutheran Church, Roanoke, Virginia and interim pastor at Christ Lutheran Church, Roanoke. He was Visiting Professor of Systematic Theology at the Protestant Theological Faculty of Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, from 1993-9, where he earned the title "Docent" in 1999 on the basis of the successful defense of his habilitation work, "Buducnost Cirkvi: Co by pre nas mal znamenat lutheransky-katolicky dialog?" ("A Future for the Church: What the Lutheran - Catholic Dialogue Should Mean For Us"). He holds the B.A. from Concordia Senior College, Fort Wayne, IN; the M.Div. from Christ Seminary-Seminex, St. Louis, MO; the Ph.D. (1983) from Union Theological Seminary, New York, NY. While still a graduate student at Union, he served as assistant pastor in several New York City parishes, until he became Research Associate for the Department for Church in Society of the Division for Mission in North American of the Lutheran Church in America, a position he held for almost four years. In 1985 he became the pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church, in Delhi, NY, a post he held until 1993. He has served on the editorial council of dialog and Lutheran Quarterly and as associate editor of Pro Ecclesia. He serves as a Book Review editor for the 16th Century Journal in the areas of religion, philosophy and the rise of natural science. He served as editor of Lutheran Forum, 1988-1993. In 1991, Theophilus Press published his Mission to the Catskills: A History of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Delhi, New York. He has published numerous academic articles and book reviews and chapter length contributions to books, as well as many popular and occasional pieces. He published books include The Substance of the Faith: Luther's Doctrinal Theology for Today (Fortress, with Mickey Mattox and Dennis Bielfeldt) and Paths Not Taken: Fates of Theology from Luther through Leibniz (Eerdmans). Luther and the Beloved Community: A Path for Christian Theology after Christendom (Eerdmans) and Divine Complexity: A Theological Account of the Rise of Creedal Christianity (Fortress, 2010). Also ALPB Books issued a collection of his sermons, Proclaiming God's Word according to Luther's Doctrine to Americans Today in 2010. Married to Ellen nee Christiansen in 1974, their union has been blessed with a daughter, Sarah, 34, (Princeton Theological Seminary, PhD, 2008) who is Research Professor at the Ecumenical Institute in Strasbourg, France; and a son, William, 27, (BA in Theology, Roanoke College, 2008) who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and gave three semesters of volunteer teaching of English at the Protestant Faculty in Bratislava before returning to Roanoke College to pursue a second BA in Psychology. Sarah became Sarah Ellen Hinlicky Wilson in 2003, joined in holy matrimony to Andrew Lars Wilson of Yakima, Washington. Andrew earned the Ph.D. in Church History at Princeton Theological Seminary in 2009, and finished a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Geneva in 2010. They have a five year old son, Ezekiel.

Great Moments in My Illustrious Career
Current Projects
I am currently involved in several research and writing projects. I anticipate writing a one-volume systematic theology during my up-coming sabbatical year in 2012-13 which will have the title, "Beloved Community: Critical Dogmatics in the Third Christian Millenium." This is how I have described this project to a prospective publisher: "It is organized in four chapters around a discussion of preliminary questions followed by treatments of each of the three articles of the Creed. It is innovative, however, in construing salvation socially as the coming of the Beloved Community, which is primordially the Triune God, and indeed in arguing that this identification of God who comes as the Beloved Community constitutes the one cognitive claim of theology, to which all traditional dogmas are critically subordinated (hence, "critical" not "traditional" or "authoritarian" dogmatics"). In sharp contrast to the predominant Platonic construal of divine transcendence on the analogy of Mind to body, it collapses the traditional dialectic of immanence and transcendence into a doctrine of divine imminence in the advent/event of Beloved Community. It justifies this new departure biblically in an argument against both analogy and univocity in theological language. It argues that the apocalyptic parable, Pauline paradox and Johannine enigma of the New Testament are the proper form of the Word of the God of the gospel, not as the logical nonsense of asserting contradictions, but as a subversive rhetoric whose proper interpretation in reference to the imminent God is just what critical dogmatic theology is and does. The form of cognition in theology is accordingly interpretation. It elaborates this basic thesis with a variety of unusual terms which the author has introduced in recent years: "The theodicy of faith." "Actual evil." "Impassable passivity ." "Theology as interpretation." "Perspectivalism." "Divine complexity." It argues for an eschatological view of creation in its treatment of the First Article in correlation with a treatment of faith as theodicy in Abraham, Jesus and Mohammed (hence, Judaism, Christianity and Islam). It argues for the integration of the three rival "theories" of the atonement on the basis of the "impassible passivity" of the Incarnate Son. It argues for "divine faith" as the causal effect of the Spirit, which is effective in the world in turn as the agency of the total Christ in battle with "actual evil." It relates expectation of the coming of the Beloved Community to the traditional Pauline and Augustinian doctrines of Adam and Christ, other City of Man and the City of God, in the ambiguity of history, and conceives of the resurrection to eternal life as redemption of the creation.
Between now and 2013 when Beloved Community is finished, I am working on several smaller projects. With my colleague and philosophical partner in dialogue, Dr. Brent Adkins, we are planning to co-author a new book on a new approach to the Faith and Reason or Theology and Philosophy relation, tentatively titled Immanence and Imminence. During the summer of 2012 I will be conducting a seminar at the International Luther Congress in Helsinki, Finland with the title, "A Post-Modern Luther," which hopes to assemble philosophers with theologians and Luther scholars to explore Luther's intriguing criticisms and reconstructions of the Western metaphysical tradition. I hope this will turn into an edited volume for a scholarly audience. Finally, pending reception of a grant, I hope to return to Slovakia soon to finish gather research materials on the mid-century Slovak Lutheran Confessor of the Faith, Samuel Stefan Osusky, a few of whose significant writings I have already translated into English.
