TAMAMLAYICI TEOLOJİYİ TAMAMLAYAN ÖGE: LOGOS

(Hıristiyan) dinler teolojisinin başlıca yaklaşımlarından biri olan Tamamlayıcı teolojiye göre, Hıristiyanlık dışındaki din ve inançlar -Hıristiyanlıkta olduğu gibi mutlak anlamda olmasa da- Tanrı'nın kurtuluş planından ve hakikatten unsurlar taşır. Dahası, Eski Ahit dönemi nasıl İsa Mesih'in tecessümüyle tamamlanmış ise Hıristiyanlık dışı tüm din ve inançlar da onun tarafından tamamlanmaktadır ya da tamamlanacaktır. Konuyu tanıtıcı mahiyetteki bu yazıda Tamamlayıcı teolojinin İsa Mesih öncesi dönem, Yasa ve Yunan felsefesi hakkında nasıl bir yaklaşım sergilediğini ele alacağım. Yazıda görülecektir ki ilhamını Kitâb-ı Mukaddes'ten alan ve erken dönem Kilise Babaları tarafından geliştirilen Tamamlayıcı teolojinin başlıca özellikleri şunlardır: Birincisi, Hıristiyan vahyinin İsa Mesih'in tecessümü ile kemale ermesi; ikincisi, tarihî İsa öncesi dönemin Mesih ile mukayesesi; üçüncüsü, Yasa'nın Mesih ile tamamlanması; dördüncüsü, Mesih ile kemale eren vahyin onun öncesinde bir hazırlık ve ilahi eğitim döneminden ibaret olmasıdır. Nihayetinde önemle zikretmek gerekir ki bu dört özelliği bariz bir şekilde içinde barındıran ve Tamamlayıcı teolojiyi tamamlayan en önemli öğe Justin Martyr, Irenaeus ve İskenderiyeli Clement'in de önemle vurguladığı Logos teolojisidir

THE ELEMENT THAT FULFILLS THE FULFILLMENT THEOLOGY

Fulfilment theology is one of the main approaches of (Christian) theology of religions. According to Fulfilment theology, non-Christian religions and faiths –although not fully as in Christianity– holds elements of God’s saving plan and of truth. Moreover, as the Old Testament was fulfilled with the Incarnation of Christ, non-Christians religions and faiths have been and will be fulfilled by him. Within the scope of this paper, I will present the ways in which Fulfilment theology deals with the period before the Incarnation, with the Law and Greek philosophy. It will be noted that the basic features of Fulfilment theology, inspired by the Bible and developed by the early Church Fathers, are as follows: First, idea of the fullness of Christian revelation by the Incarnation; second, comparison between the Incarnation of Christ with the pre-Incarnation period; third, fulfillment of the Law by Christ; fourth viewing the pre-Incarnation period as a preparation stage within which “divine pedagogy” was active. The last but not least is the Logos theology that completes Fulfilment theology as articulated by Justin Martyr, Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria
