Postpartum Theology: Axiological Experimentation at the Margins brandon daniel-hughes / John Abbott college erminological debates are often circular and unproductive, so it is a plea- sure to investigate the terminology of ler on shults, who argues with Tclarity, defines his terms, and offers reasons for preferring one term (“axi- ological engagement”) over another (“religion”). i would not, however, waste the readers’ time if my aim were merely to challenge some of shults’s nomenclature. When one sets out, as does shults, to intervene in the process of theogonic re- production, terminological and metaphorical choices matter a great deal insofar as the semiotic tools one deploys carry emotional and affective baggage that can deeply influence the efficacy of the hoped-for intervention.
