ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the author would nevertheless already like to make a number of preliminary observations on the most striking differences and similarities between the three contemporary turns that the people have just examined. A comparison of the differences between Milbank's, Hauerwas', and Healy's contexts is helpful to understand the different agendas each of these theologians has. Notwithstanding the different ecclesial backgrounds of these three theologians, they use fairly similar sources in their theologies. In spite of their differences, Milbank's, Hauerwas' and Healy's ecclesial and academic contexts share some significant similarities. Despite fundamental differences between Milbank, Hauerwas. and Healy, the people have claimed that they have enough in common to speak of one ‘turn to the church’.
