    Rethinking the Concept of the Sacred Towards The Notion of Order From The Mana Model
    (Dinbilimleri Akad Arastirma Merkezi, 2011) Kuscu, Emir
    In this article, our aim is to show that the concept of the sacred in the tradition called phenomenology of religion has a theological and metaphysical content. In spite of this, unlike postmodernist critics, we don't claim that we should leave the concept of the sacred. According to us, if we apply to Durkheimian concept of the sacred before Otto, we may demonstrate that sacred isn't only numen effecting the subject in model of mana, but also is related to the concept of order. While phenomenological concept of the sacred is engaged with describing the reply to the sacred or mana as supernaturalist reality, the idea of sacred as order tries to analyse human behaviours connected with the sacred. Religion isn't only a theological and metaphysical entity, but also a social and cultural construction. The religion isn't only produced by society, but society is also produced by religion. As society has a religious attribution, to refer religion to society doesn't mean to go astray positivistic reductionism. Genuine phenomenology of the sacred should analyse how sacred-profane is open to interaction in various culture. Therefore, the sacred isn't metaphysical reference, but points to transformations and entegrations of some cultural horizons.

    Towards A Pluralist Perspective in Religious Studies Beyond Positivistic Secularity and Phenomenology Theologized Abstract
    (Dinbilimleri Akad Arastirma Merkezi, 2010) Kuscu, Emir
    There are two different approaches in the realm of teaching or investigating of the religions in the universities. On the one hand either the secular or the naturalist approach tries to explain the religions by irreligious factors, on the other hand, either the theological or classical phenomenology aims to describe the religions from insider's perspective. According to this outlook, whereas the secularist researchers defend on the fact that the religions should be taught by atheist or humanist acedemicians, the theological phenomenologists assert that the religions should be taught by the religious or beleivers. Although most people think that we are compelled to accept the only one from these two approaches, actually, here we argue for the third alternative way or position; we souldn't be urged to accept the concept of being secular as a positivist and an euro-centric paradigm. Therefore we may attain for an un-positivistic and un-reductionist concept of being secular and a new understanding of secularity which is in harmony with our own religious traditions and values.

    Unlocking the theology of Rudolf Bultmann ambiguities and origins
    (Hitit Univ, 2012) Kuscu, Emir
    The first aim of this article is to identify unclear or ambiguous points and some misconceptions about Bultmann's theology and interpretation theory. The second aim of it is to explain these ambiguous and unclear points by tracing the origins of Bultmann's theological ideas. Therefore we focus on Bultmann's relationship with theologians and philosophers who inspired Bultmann. Bultmann's originality is due to choice elements according to his own system of thought from these thinkers' views.
