		The Christian Democrats also pushed through constitutional changes to strengthen the presidency; these changes later would be used to advantage by Allende.

	Hans Frei and the Meaning of Biblical Narrative
		Frei was not simply a "Barthian" (neither was Barth!), but Barth certainly seemed to him the best exemplar of a "descriptive" theologian who eschewed systematic apologetics and simply tried to lay out a Christian view of the world with attention to its own internal logic.
		Frei knew that and, with a modesty as frustrating as it was admirable, was likely to admit that he did not himself know how to solve the problems even as he remained convinced that he had glimpsed an insight that was somehow true.
		Frei's theology is finally church theology: it first of all addresses the Christian community and invites that community to let the biblical narratives shape its vision of the world.

	Theology Today - Vol 50, No.1 - April 1993 - BOOK REVIEW - Types of Christian Theology
		Frei, however, criticizes their pretensions to philosophical abstinence and notes some peculiar convergences with the first type.
		Frei is adamant about distinguishing this hermeneutical reading of the gospels, in which the Jesus of the text is the ascriptive subject of his acts, from the question of extra-textual referent, finding surprising Christian consensus on the former and little on the latter.
		The "textual Jesus" Frei so powerfully elucidates seems to demand both a historical referent that is not in bondage to the "regulatory agency" of higher criticism and an experiential referent rooted in the life and worship of the church.

	The Origins of Postliberalism
		Frei observed that modern conservative and liberal approaches to the Bible both undermine the authority of scripture by locating the meaning of biblical teaching in some doctrine or worldview that is held to be more foundational than scripture itself.
		Frei argued that during the Enlightenment this sense of scripture as realistic narrative was lost.
		Christianity is most redemptive as a force in the world when Christian churches focus their energies on building formative Christian communities that are rooted in the idioms and practices of biblical faith.

		While such familiarity is of course not confined to Christians, the sense of responsibility conveyed by D's text--one piece of which began life as an inaugural lecture for a chair in Social Responsibility at Haverford College--is primarily that of a hugely successful proselytizing cult.
		When in due course Frei is brought into conversation with Origen, there is no suggestion of his being taught a lesson, and the two theologians emerge from their encounter with honors roughly even.
		Having outlined Frei's position, D is about to embark on a fuller exploration of the Christian understanding of the sensus literalis ("The Letter in the Spirit"), too intricate to unfold here.

		Beyond the initial shock and anger that greeted their destruction, Frei recognizes that world opinion was cemented by the destruction of another pair of cultural icons, just six months later: the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.
		Another of Frei's discoveries came in the midst of a three-day conference on the Bamiyan Buddhas in Munich, Germany.
		As a documentarian, Frei says he's keenly interested in the issues of authenticity that reconstruction, repair or even the construction of a memorial in the statues' place raises.

		For Auerbach, however, as the earliest Christians sought to adapt the message to a wider audience it became detached from its Jewish milieu and the Old Testament became a series of figures.
		The parallel is far-fetched for the obvious reason, which Dawson does not note, that classical Christian allegory took place within the context of the Church’s tradition as formed by the liturgy and disciplined by the creeds.
		In the end, this is the argument that Origen made to his Jewish critics (and to Christian chiliasts): their view of what it means for the prophecies to be fulfilled is too restricted.
