Pastoral Care and Liberation Theology
ISBN: 9780521418225 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pastoral care in the Northern hemisphere has focused traditionally on the well-being of individuals, and has tended to ignore the social order of which they are a part. In this pioneering book, Stephen Pattison draws on the methods and insights of Latin American liberation theology in order to challenge such narrow individualism, which is blind to matters of inequality and injustice that engender and perpetuate avoidable human suffering. A new vision of socially and politically aware pastoral care is presented as central to developing human potential.

Protestantism in Contemporary China
ISBN: 9780521441612 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study investigates the historical and political conditions which have contributed to the state of the Protestant community in China, and the kinds of spirituality and religious life that it has evolved. The authors draw on extensive fieldwork, and offer fascinating insights into the beliefs and practices of a little-documented section of Chinese society. They show that healing, protection, and vengeance by gods have been deep-rooted elements of Chinese religiosity for several hundred years, notions appropriated by Christians who now emphasize the powers of Jesus. Chinese Protestantism is...

Power, Gender and Christian Mysticism
ISBN: 9780521479264 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Western Christianity, the mystic was seen as having direct access to God, and therefore great authority. Dr. Jantzen discusses how men of power defined and controlled who should count as a mystic, and thus who would have power: women were pointedly excluded. The modern philosophical assumption that mysticism is essentially about intense subjective experiences is misguided. This book is the first on the subject to take issues of gender seriously, and to use them as a point of entry for a deconstructive approach to Christian mysticism.

Christianity and Politics in Doe's Liberia
ISBN: 9780521520102 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This study examines the role of Christianity in Liberia under the corrupt regime of Samuel K. Doe (1980-1990). Paul Gifford shows that, in general, Liberian Christianity--far from being a force for justice and human advancement--diverted attention from the cause of Liberia's ills, left change to God's miraculous intervention, encouraged obedience and acceptance of the status quo, and thus served to entrench Doe's power. This Christianity, devised in and controlled from the United States, thus furthered regional American economic and political objectives, which were designed to support Doe's...
