AB - We have faced the reality, in which the problem of communication seriously comes to the fore and the influence of the church has continually diminished. Postmodern society emphasizes plurality, but by the very reason, the community requires social cooperations and integrities evermore. The Christian church is not a salvific community departed from the world, but the divine organization for universal salvation within the world. Therefore, it is the natural mission for the church to aim at the kingdom of God within the world while communicating with the world. Then, how could the church fulfill the mission with and in the world? With this critical mind, this essay argues that we, as a part of communication for the good society, have first of all to reestablish the Christian ethical (or political) foundation and the appropriate attitude for the communication and cooperation. These are the prerequisite conditions for the mission. For the purpose of the above task, this essay examines William Schweiker's theological humanism. Schweiker has pursued the Christian ethical goals and the appropriate attitude of theologizing in the contemporary plural world through his theological humanism. He accurately points out the requirement that the theological and ethical efforts of the church should admit not simply the inter-religious but also the extra-religious efforts covering up the non-religious sectors by the consolidation of the integrity of life for ethical value and responsibility for the practice. They call for the eschatological attitude in the temporal dimension because theologically the efforts of the church are the continual process toward the kingdom of God that should not be interrupted until the end of this world. Schweiker seeks for the foundation of his theological efforts within Christian God as absolutely transcendent being. God overcomes both hypertheism and overhumanization. God overcomes the problems coming out of both extremes of religious fundamentalism and the marginalized norm of human autonomy. God is, therefore, the substantive foundation for the contemporary social ethics apt for the integrity of life and responsibility which leads to good society.
