Towards an African Model of Church as Family
ISBN: 9783838306605 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work is an implementation of the call of the African Synod of Bishops held in Rome in 1994, on the vision of the Church in Africa as "family of God," in order to articulate the essence, life and mission of the Church in the African continent still profoundly marked by poverty, diseases, political instability, and ethnical conflicts at the dawn of the third millennium. It is argued in this book that the Church's evangelising mission in Africa may be very successful if the needs and mentality of the Africans are taken as a starting point and as a constant point of focus. Thus, the African...

Impartiality and Partiality Viewpoints
ISBN: 9783838306261 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work centers on the complexity of working with both partiality and impartiality moral viewpoints in the formation of ethical theories for moral judgment. These standpoints have to be understood as the personal and the impersonal, rather the partial and the impartial. This book attempts to reconcile the two standpoints. In view of Jesus teaching on love your neighbor as you love yourself, we argued that we have to love ourselves first before we extend our love to others. Self-awareness may be said to be a quality that all rational human persons have and the way in which it is exercised...

The Blessed Life
ISBN: 9783838307619 / Angielski / Miękka / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the earliest centuries of the church, believers have seen the beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-10) as central to their identity as Christians. Given the traditional importance of the beatitudes it is rather surprising to discover so little examination of the history of their interpretation. This book seeks to address an aspect of that neglected history. Its principal work is a close analysis of how Augustine, John Calvin, and Karl Barth dealt with the beatitudes -- how they interpreted the beatitudes in sermons and commentaries and how they used those interpretations in some of their better known...

Why You Experience Evil
ISBN: 9783838318783 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the problem of evil. How does one define "evil?" How does evil arise? How might one find a sense of meaning and hope in the face of evil? How can one reconcile an experience of evil with ones understanding of the cosmos and the sacred? Eight possible responses are examined. Each solution depends upon the priority that one assigns to various possible authorities and ones speculative worldview. Three of the eight solutions offer arguments for rejecting the problem of evil on epistemological grounds. Five of the solutions are more straightforward in discussing omnipotence,...

Reconstructing Faith
ISBN: 9783838364001 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author conducts a support group for 20 Jewish parents (ten couples) of children diagnosed with autism. The author finds that for parents struggling with or living with the diagnosis of a child with autism, the experience presents challenges to their faith system and belief in God. This informal, or embedded, theology-based on the theological assumptions they make both consciously and unconsciously about the way and the why the world works as it does-collapses in light of their changed reality. The support group enables parents in such a predicament to explore their faith...

The church's role in social healing and reconciliation in Zimbabwe
ISBN: 9783838361482 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book looks at the church's understanding of, and how it can practically engage in, national reconciliation. It builds a deeper theology of reconciliation that appreciates critical social analysis and deeper theological reflection. The study builds on studies done in Croatia and South Africa, and uses the National Vision Discussion Document (NVDD) of Zimbabwe to enter the discussion. From a detailed analysis of the social context of division in Zimbabwe to the churches' approach to reconciliation, this book takes time to critically reflect on important factors such as ethnicity, racism...

The Church in the Postmodern Global Village
ISBN: 9783838338941 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study aims to respond to two of the major challenges which congregations face namely postmodernity and globalization. After seeking a fuller description of these two challenges, I sought a theological orientation within the context of the postmodern global village, as well as an ecclesiological praxis that could be both transformative and redemptive. The narrative orientation guides the story of this study. The climax of this journey (or story) is in the fusion between the theory-laden questions of descriptive theology and the historical texts of the Christian faith within...

The Weight of Objectivity
ISBN: 9783838350332 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume argues that the social sciences are a vital resource for theological reflection. It challenges John Milbank's rejection of social theory on the basis that it is corrosive of theology. The book demonstrates that enthusiasm for rescuing theology from the Enlightenment's critique of religion can become problematic. This is evident in authors like Milbank, but also Luce Irigaray and Helen Cixous, when they construct idealist withdrawals from social reality, rather than more refined understandings of social and religious experience. In the course of this analysis, the critical social...

Conscience, Moral Discernment, and Magisterial Moral Decision Making
ISBN: 9783838337371 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conscience is the rational operation of the moral agent, appealing not to guilt and shame, but to freedom and liberation, not to fear and insecurity, but to possibility and empowerment. The rational conscience, as historically construed, opens up the life of the individual in infinite freedom to allow them to become what they are capable of becoming, through the exercise of rationality. The church qua institution has a role in shaping the individual's conscience. The teaching authority of the church is more than simply a form of doctrinal repristination for dogmatic or confessional purposes;...

Mimesis and Desire
ISBN: 9783838302393 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The main assumption in Per Bjornar Grande's book Mimesis and Desire. An Analysis of the Religious Nature of Mimesis and Desire in the Work of Rene Girard is that religion is motivated by mimesis. Mimesis is the foundation of religion. It is also primary to violence and scapegoating, and engenders both phenomena. Thus mimesis is the tool by which the religious and anthropological themes may be explained. According to Grande religion does not begin with sacrifice, but with mimesis or imitation. If sacrifice is seen to be the origin of religion, religion will be limited to violence only. For...

Conspiring Unto the Good
ISBN: 9783838368993 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Jesuit philosopher-theologian Bernard Lonergan (1904-84) was considered by many intellectuals to be "one of the finest philosophic thinkers of the 20th century"(Time Magazine, April 1970). His complex thought contains much of vital importance to understanding contemporary global issues from economics to education and, of course, philosophy and religion. Theology mediates between religion and culture. Theology of religions is the discipline that thematizes the relationship of Christianity to other religions. Three decades of effort by specialists have generated a theological 'Babel'. The...

Belfast, a City with a Wounded Heart; Hope of Redemption
ISBN: 9783838348629 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The spirituality of reconciliation is an under- researched field in Northern Ireland, though many books have been written from other perspectives. Iva Beranek focuses mostly on Gods promise of a new heart (Ezek 36:26) and its relevance for places like Belfast that carry a wounded heart. The author provides a clear biblical basis for engaged spirituality in places of conflict, and shows that the Christian spiritual tradition is life-giving in challening situations. "This book arises from an unshakeable conviction that from the long wounded history of Belfast a new story of hope is...

Theological Education in the Context of Poverty and Injustice
ISBN: 9783838371245 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book is a result of the author's painstakingly search for the role of theological education in the context of poverty and injustice since he learned how to read the Word of God in the context of the poor and oppressed in the Philippines and in Thailand, and taught in a seminary. The book represents the perceptions of theological educators from evangelical spectrum in the Philippines, and how it historically addressed the problem of poverty and injsutice in the Philippines, and how it should be biblically addressed through theolgocal education. The book was also the result of the author's...

African Theology
ISBN: 9783838389035 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christianity is recent in black Africa. With the exception of the Coptic and orthodox churches in Egypt and Ethiopia, few of the African churches are well over 100 years old. The original method of evangelisation was implantation of the western culture and form of Christianity in most part of our continent. Hence theology, liturgy, spirituality and church law were and still are to a great extent western in character. This state of affairs was enhanced by the general contempt for African traditional Religions and cultures among the early missionaries. The purpose of this book is to introduce...

Like Other People's Children
ISBN: 9783838381381 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like Other People's Children focuses on issues of missiology and inculturation amongst the African- Caribbean/West Indian population of Lutheran Christians in the Danish West Indies. When Frederick V of Denmark enacted landmark legislation in 1755 a critical turning point occurred as he declared: "Slave children are to have the Word of God preached to them, be instructed in the Christian faith and be baptized like other people's children." What resulted from this legislation? How did the Lutheranchurches in the Danish West Indies become the largest indigenous African-Caribbean communities of...

The Woman Clothed by the Sun with the Moon Under Her Feet
ISBN: 9783838382708 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using an interdisciplinary approach building on Postcolonial Biblical Criticism in an African context the author investigates how a Christian living in the majority world generally views the Bible differently from that of a Christian living in the minority world. Looking at the beliefs and practices of First and Third World Christians, especially as they may relate to Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation, the writer explores why there are variances of belief and what, if anything, may be learned by contrasting both worlds, listening to and examining both points of view. Some background...

Flesh Made Word
ISBN: 9783843351225 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work explores the contribution of the thought of Luce Irigaray to the theological conversation, at the heart of which is the desire to create and nourish a culture in which difference is not simply tolerated, but celebrated; in which the other is approached as an autonomous and independent source of their own self understanding. However, we cannot hope to deal justly with the other in our midst without considering the most basic of differences by which human society is structured, namely, sexual difference? Neither can we create a culture of difference without a careful...
