Postmodernism and the Ethics of Theological Knowledge
ISBN: 9780754661856 / Angielski / Twarda / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book establishes the necessary integration of theological knowledge with theological ethics. It does this as a response to the postmodern critique of Christianity, as exemplified in Rorty and Lyotard. They argue that any claim to know God is necessarily tyrannical. Contemporary responses to such postmodern thinking often fail to address adequately the ethical critique that is made. This book redresses that balance by suggesting that our knowedge of God and love of the Other are so intimately connected that we cannot have one without the other. In the absence of love, then, we simply do...

African Spirituality: An Introduction
ISBN: 9783844330717 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The topic African Spirituality comes as an unexpected suprise to many because for a long time we have thought that spirituality is the prerogative of Christianity, or if anything, it has nothing to do with African traditional practice.This is a bias whose origin stamps back to the time of the early missionaries to the continent.The missionaries who brought us faith made us believe that spirituality has to do with sanctity which is attainable only in Christianity. African traditional practices were looked down upon.In fact at a certain stage it was even leveled satanic by the missionaries.This...

The Monotheistic Concept in Judaism and Islam
ISBN: 9783844328042 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though many ancient religions initially affirmed the monotheistic concept of God, it is unfortunately true that this concept of unity did not get perfection in those religions due to their polytheistic practices. Thus, monotheism was replaced by polytheism at maximum religious beliefs and practices in the course of time. However, of Abrahamic religions both Judaism and Islam strictly maintain monotheism by their uncompromised and unqualified concept of the unity of God. As far as monotheism is concerned, though there is apparently no difference between these two faiths, but internally there...

Globalisation, Cultures, Religions: Globalisierung, Kulturen, Religionen
ISBN: 9789042020436 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The process of Globalisation has subjected cultures, religions and societies or communities of the world to fundamental changes, which are primarily characterised and conditioned by new communication technologies, migration, worldwide exchange of goods and capital. This development has led to the rise of plural societies, which not only mean chances and opportunities but also a potential of threat for the future of humanity. Subsequent to this development this international conference addresses the question of how living together in a global age could succeed and be fruitful. Im Zuge des...

The Concept of Vocation of Reformed Theology in Postmodern times
ISBN: 9783838372396 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The research dealt with the concept of vocation in Reformed theology as it applies into the postmodern times. The special (empirical) research is conducted in the minds of migrant workers of Gereja Masehi Injili Minahasa, a Reformed Church in North Sulawesi Indonesia. These migrant workers are working in Japan, the Netherlands and the USA. It is interesting that these Christian Reformed migrant workers are both characterized by the components of postmodernity and conditioned by the laws of each country where they conduct their work and responsibility.

Zimbabwean Political Crisis
ISBN: 9783844387032 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book serves to evaluate the effectiveness of the Catholic Church's prophetic voice in the post-independence Zimbabwe. The argument of this book is fundamentally built on the conviction that Christian political ethics or church-state dialogue is necessary but there is a need for the church to critically reflect at its method of dialogue. The study draws our attention to the fact that being prophetic is not enough unless the voice which prophesied positively engages empathetically with the 'other'. The author calls for an Empathetic Dialogical Method as an appropriate method which can...

Introducing Feminist Ecclesiology

While the majority of those who attend church are women, women experience hierarchical exclusion and invisibility within its institutional structures.
Throughout most of its history, women have not participated in the church's reflections on its own nature. And yet, feminist theologians claim that women are church and always have been church. This book explores women's experiences of being church and reclaiming the church in order to rebuild it as meaningful, open, sacramental space where everybody's...

The Strategic Smorgasbord of Postmodernity: Literature and the Christian Critic
ISBN: 9781847181619 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary Christian critique often talks about postmodernism apocalyptically, in terms of cultural crisis and decline; instead, the contributors to this volume believe that there is a new place for Christian entrees on the academic Smorgasbord of postmodernity, and they see the postmodern turn as an opportunity for fresh perspectives on the spiritual dimensions of reading literature. These twenty scholars are an eclectic group, differing in theological and theoretical commitments, but all identifying as Christian. In this collection they enter into dialogue with a wide range of...

Friendship
ISBN: 9780268009694 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Certain relationships are of profound importance for human life and of great significance for the moral life. In Friendship: A Study in Theological Ethics, Gilbert C. Meilaender explores some of the tension which Christian experience discovers in one such relationship, that of the bond of friendship. These tensions help to explain why friendship was a more important topic in the life and thought of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome than it has usually been within Christendom. The bond of friendship--philia--involves special preference; Christian love--agape--is thought to be like...
