"The monarchical model [of God] implies that the crucial divine activity is the redemption of rebellious humanity which is loved in spite of its unlovableness ... the monarchical model is the dominant one especially in late medieval Catholicism as well as in classical Protestantism and much popular piety ... [it] could be said to find its biblical base in Paul with his stress on the atoning victory of Christ the Second Adam ... [The monarchical model] is dualistic in its awareness of the distance beween God and humanity caused by sinful rebellion." [Quote pp. 93-4]
In this context McFague offers some alternative views (models) of God's relationship with the world -"The model of God as mother lover and friend of the world as God's body imply views of the creative salvific and sustaining activities of God that are radically different from the monarchical model ... [it] locates itself in John with his emphasis on the illuminating love of Christ the Word made flesh. ... [and] can be described as monistic presuming the basic oneness of all reality including the unity of God and the world." [Quote p.93]
While McFague's focus is different from ours this is a useful description of the differences between monistic and dualistic theologies. Dualistic theologies are inimical to the PSE concept while monistic theologies are PSE-friendly.
