Book Synopsis Bonhoeffer and Christology by : Matthias Grebe
Download or read book Bonhoeffer and Christology written by Matthias Grebe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key question this volume addresses is 'how does Bonhoeffer's thought help to re(dis)cover the doctrine of Christ's two natures and one person and understand and renew it in its significance for a modern post-metaphysical and secular world?' The volume takes a fresh look at Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Christology and brings it into a fruitful dialogue with current Christological debates. In a multi-perspectival, pluralistic world, Bonhoeffer's thinking offers a productive basis for conceptually incorporating the openness required for this task into academic theology. Bonhoeffer's theology offers a starting point for the recovery of a productive Christology that reflects the plurality of the globalized world, as Bonhoeffer's Christology begins precisely with this integration into worldly reality, whereby the world is understood in its plurality and polyphony. In this way, he characterizes his enterprise as follows: “What keeps gnawing at me is the question, what is Christianity, or who is Christ actually for us today” (DBWE 8, 362). Accordingly, it opens itself up not only to inner-Christian discussion but also to non-Christian worldviews, from which a basic ethical demand follows.
Book Synopsis Church in a World of Religions by : Tom Greggs
Download or read book Church in a World of Religions written by Tom Greggs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, Tom Greggs explores the nature of the church in a world of many religions. Greggs' writings on the Church and on other religions emphasize the importance of attentiveness to Christ and the Holy Spirit, and both are simultaneously generous and particularist. The first part of the book addresses the Church as it is brought into being by the Spirit in glorifying God, celebrates the sacraments, respects the authority of the creeds, is generously Catholic, and critiques its own religion. The second part looks at the church in a pluralist context as it engages in inter-faith dialogue, expresses both particularism and universalism, speaks of Christ with many names, and reads scripture and understands the many covenants found there. Greggs offers a programmatic conclusion, setting an agenda for theologies of the church and of other religions and their simultaneous relationality.
Book Synopsis Varieties of Christian Universalism by : David W. Congdon
Download or read book Varieties of Christian Universalism written by David W. Congdon and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian universalism has become a subject of fierce debate in recent years. Numerous works have been published on the topic, and it can be difficult for readers to recognize the breadth of possible approaches. While universal salvation is often boiled down to (and dismissed as) a single idea--that God saves all people--this oversimplification masks the variety of theologies that reach this conclusion in ways that are not always compatible. Christian universalism is actually an umbrella of different theological interpretations of the idea that all people will be saved. In this book, leading experts on universal salvation--David W. Congdon, Tom Greggs, Morwenna Ludlow, and Robin A. Parry--provide a concise guide to four distinct approaches: patristic, evangelical, post-Barthian, and existential. The contributors, who have each written extensively on Christian universalism, highlight distinct approaches that emphasize different theological values. The book will be useful as a textbook for students of theology, especially those training for ministry, and as a resource for anyone seeking a more well-rounded understanding of Christian universalism.

Book Synopsis Karl Barth and the Problem of War, and Other Essays on Barth by : John Howard Yoder
Download or read book Karl Barth and the Problem of War, and Other Essays on Barth written by John Howard Yoder and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-09-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate opponent of Nazism, Karl Barth was required to serve in the Swiss army. At the age of 54, he helped guard the Swiss border at Basel from German intruders. Some would suggest this is all we need to know in order to understand Barth's views on Christianity and war. John Howard Yoder begged to differ. Karl Barth and the Problem of War is an essay in which Yoder articulates the views of his former teacher on war, these views comprising a position he refers to as chastened non-pacifism. Through a rigorous examination of Barth's ethical method, Yoder seeks to show how the logic of Barth's basic theological commitments makes him even closer to pacifism than is often noticed. Here five additional essays, three of which have never before been published, join this long essay. These essays offer further reflections on Barth's chastened non-pacifism, as well as offering some of Yoder's fruitful use of Barth's theology for social ethics.

Book Synopsis Reinventing Liberal Christianity by : Theo Hobson
Download or read book Reinventing Liberal Christianity written by Theo Hobson and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In past years liberal Christianity challenged centuries of authoritarian tradition and had great political influence. Today it is widely dismissed as a watering-down of the faith, and more conservative forms of Christianity are increasingly dominant. Can the liberal Christian tradition recover its influence? Hobson argues that a simple revival is not possible, because liberal Christianity consists of two traditions. He aims to transform liberal Christianity through the rediscovery of faith and ritual.

Book Synopsis Karl Barth in the Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer by : Andreas Pangritz
Download or read book Karl Barth in the Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer written by Andreas Pangritz and published by William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. This book was released on 2000 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pangritz's (systematic theology, Aachen Technical College) argument turns on Bonhoeffer's criticism of Barth, specifically concerning the accusation in his prison letters that Barth was guilty of a "positivism of revelation." Though ambiguous, this remark has been seen as a wedge separating the two theologians. Through analysis of their correspondence, and a consideration of Barth's remarks following Bonhoeffer's death, Pangritz clarifies the relationship between the two, and makes a case that Bonhoeffer's criticism did not mark a significant breach between the two thinkers.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Postmodern Theology by : Kevin J. Vanhoozer
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Postmodern Theology written by Kevin J. Vanhoozer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodernity allows for no absolutes and no essence. Yet theology is concerned with the absolute, the essential. How then does theology sit within postmodernity? Is postmodern theology possible, or is such a concept a contradiction in terms? Should theology bother about postmodernism or just get on with its own thing? Can it? Theologians have responded in many different ways to the challenges posed by theories of postmodernity. In this introductory 2003 guide to a complex area, editor Kevin J. Vanhoozer addresses the issue head on in a lively survey of what 'talk about God' might mean in a postmodern age, and vice versa. The book then offers examples of different types of contemporary theology in relation to postmodernity, while the second part examines the key Christian doctrines in postmodern perspective. Leading theologians contribute to this clear and informative Companion, which no student of theology should be without.

Download or read book Who am I? written by Bernd Wannenwetsch and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often been noted that poetry is a particularly suitable medium when it comes to understanding the connection between theology and biography. Needless to say that this is particularly exciting in the case of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the poems he wrote during his imprisonment by the Nazis. Although any one of his ten poems should be read within their respective historical and biographical context, they are also rounded, self-sufficient pieces of work that cannot be 'explained' by the biographical and theological prose that surrounds them. They rather serve as a sort of creative and perhaps sometimes even critical interlocutor to these contexts. This is why the contributors to this volume have not been asked to explain the poems but to facilitate this conversation: the conversation between the reader and the poems, between the individual poems as well as between the poems and Bonhoeffer's life and his theology. These poems lend themselves ideally as an entry point into Bonhoeffer's theology, in that each one of them resonates with a particular central theological concept that Bonhoeffer was developing in his prison years. Themes and concepts such as "friendship", "religion", "identity", "freedom", "representative action" and others are not only represented in these poems but often expressed in the dense and compelling fashion that only poetic language affords. As such, they deserve the thorough and imaginative engagement of the international line-up of first-class theological authors gathered in this book.
