Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planetary Solidarity brings together leading Latina, womanist, Asian American, Anglican American, South American, Asian, European, and African woman theologians on the issues of doctrine, women, and climate justice. Because women make up the majority of the world's poor and tend to be more dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods and survival, they are more vulnerable when it comes to climate-related changes and catastrophes. Representing a subfield of feminist theology that uses doctrine as interlocutor, this book ask how Christian doctrine might address the interconnected suffering of women and the earth in an age of climate change. While doctrine has often stifled change, it also forms the thread that weaves Christian communities together. Drawing on postcolonial ecofeminist/womanist analysis and representing different ecclesial and denominational traditions, contributors use doctrine to envision possibilities for a deep solidarity with the earth and one another while addressing the intersection of gender, race, class, and ethnicity. The book is organized around the following doctrines: creation, the triune God, anthropology, sin, incarnation, redemption, the Holy Spirit, ecclesiology, and eschatology.

Book Synopsis Gender and Christian Ethics by : Adrian Thatcher
Download or read book Gender and Christian Ethics written by Adrian Thatcher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Adrian Thatcher offers fresh theological arguments for expanding our understanding of gender. He begins by describing the various meanings of gender and depicts the relations between women and men as a pervasive human and global problem. Thatcher then critiques naive and harmful theological accounts of sexuality and gender as binary opposites or mistaken identities. Demonstrating that the gendered theologies of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Karl Barth, as well as the Vatican's “war on gender” rest on questionable binary models, he replaces these models with a human continuum that allows for sexual difference without assuming “opposite sexes” and normative sexualities. Grounded in core Christian doctrines, this continuum enables a full theological affirmation of LGBTIQ people. Thatcher also addresses the excesses of the male/female binary in secular culture and outlines a hermeneutic that delivers justice and acceptance instead of sexism and discrimination.
Book Synopsis The Gift of Theology by : Rosemary P. Carbine
Download or read book The Gift of Theology written by Rosemary P. Carbine and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kathryn Tanner is undoubtedly one of the most important contemporary North American theologians. From landmark studies in systematic and constructive theology to economics, Tanner’s work is a contribution of inestimable value, hallmarked by its depth, precision, provocativeness, and grace. Unifying the immense scope of her work is the particular vision of God’s self-gift: an internal, dynamic, communal reality that is expressed outward in acts of love and generosity that are creation, incarnation, and capacious life in the Spirit. This vision, as the grounding matrix of Tanner’s theology, has been extended beyond the disciplinary boundaries of theology in constructive explorations of economics, social and political theory, cultural studies, and ethics. This volume celebrates the vision and breadth of Tanner’s unique contribution. Essays by established scholars, colleagues, and former students trace out the key loci and themes, from theological method, the Trinity, Christology, creation, to economics, environmental and social ethics, and politics, to generate constructive and ecumenical conversation that presents Tanner as an important, contemporary public theologian.

Book Synopsis Alternative Salvations by : Hannah Bacon
Download or read book Alternative Salvations written by Hannah Bacon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By considering transformative ideas and experiences which are explicitly articulated or implicitly structured in languages of religion and spirituality, Alternative Salvations probes concepts including 'religious', 'secular', 'spiritual', 'post-Christian', and 'post-secular', providing a series of studies which question the functionality of these broad categories. Part one draws on contemporary salvation narratives showing how current cultural forms, social practices and secular discourses are influenced by, or are interpreted through, the lens of religious and theological accounts of salvation. Examples include twelve step recovery programs, drug culture, and public policy surrounding HIV-AIDs in Kenya. Although outside traditional religious contexts, the contributors show ways in which they are not free from religious symbolism. Part two explores alternative accounts of salvation rooted in religious traditions. Established orthodoxies are confronted by contemporary critical questions, for example about gender, the status of animals, and the political dimensions of salvation. By contributing new perspectives and unique case studies, Alternative Salvations provides a deliberate challenge to easy binaries which often underpin contemporary and traditional discourses of salvation.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to the Practice of Christian Theology by : Mike Higton
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to the Practice of Christian Theology written by Mike Higton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Companion introduces readers to the practice of Christian theology, covering what theologians do, why they do it, and what steps readers can take in order to become theological practitioners themselves. The volume aims to capture the variety of practices involved in doing theology, highlighting the virtues that guide them and the responsibilities that shape them. It also shows that the description of these practices, virtues and responsibilities is itself theological: what Christian theologians do is shaped by the wider practices and beliefs of Christianity. Written by a team of leading theologians, the Companion provides a unique resource for students and scholars of theology alike.
Book Synopsis Postcolonial Practice of Ministry by : Kwok Pui-lan

Postcolonial Practice of Ministry will make an impact in at least two areas of theological reflection: first, among postcolonial scholars, it will stretch postcolonial theology into an area where it has been neglected; second, it will provide a comprehensive resource for rethinking the practice of ministry. Contributors to this volume are well-known scholars from different racial, national, and denominational backgrounds, bringing with them experiences of hybrid identities and multicultural churches. Many of them are pioneers in introducing postcolonial discourse to their fields.

Download or read book Wir glauben an den Heiligen Geist written by Cheryl M. Peterson and published by Evangelische Verlagsanstalt. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Believe in the Holy Spirit: Global Perspectives on Lutheran Identities Today the concept of "identity" is contested against the backdrop of myriad forms of social, political, economic and ecological exclusion. How is identity expressed in a global Lutheran tradition whose members share common biblical, liturgical, confessional, theological and spiritual foundations, yet represent diverse cultures and traditions? At the end of 2019, the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) hosted a global consultation on contemporary Lutheran identities, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The result is the papers presented in this publication. The authors – church leaders, young Christians, theologians, lay and ordained practitioners in local communities – explore the Spirit's work to revive and equip the faithful for vocation through the ministry of the church today and into the future of the Lutheran communion. [Wir glauben an den Heiligen Geist: Lutherische Identitäten aus weltweiter Perspektive] Vor dem Hintergrund der vielfältigen Formen von gesellschaftlicher, politischer, wirtschaftlicher und ökologischer Ausgrenzung ist das Konzept einer "Identität" in unserer aktuellen Zeit höchst umstritten. Wie wird Identität in einer globalen lutherischen Glaubenstradition zum Ausdruck gebracht, deren Anhängerinnen und Anhänger zwar gemeinsame biblische, gottesdienstliche, konfessionelle, theologische und spirituelle Grundfeste haben, aber gleichzeitig aus ganz unterschiedlichen Kulturen und Traditionen kommen? Ende 2019 hat der Lutherische Weltbund (LWB)in Addis Abeba, Äthiopien, eine globale Konsultation zu lutherischen Identitäten von heute veranstaltet. Das Ergebnis dieser Konsultation sind die Abhandlungen in dieser Publikation. Die Autorenschaft – Kirchenleitende, junge Erwachsene, Theologie-Fachleute, ordinierte und nicht-ordinierten Fachleute aus Ortsgemeinden – untersucht das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes, der die Gläubigen für ihre Berufung durch den Dienst der Kirche von heute und die Zukunft der lutherischen Kirchengemeinschaft neu belebt und zurüstet.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Christian Ethics by : D. Stephen Long
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Christian Ethics written by D. Stephen Long and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Christian Ethics brings together two different but related disciplines; the first is contemplative or theoretical, asking what are the beliefs or doctrines that characterize Christianity, whilst the second is practical, asking what are the ethical practices that attend its teachings. The movement between the theoretical and practical aspects is not, however, one way, as doctrine and life are mutually informing. In this comprehensive volume, leading scholars address key topics, problems and debates in this hotly debated topic within a truly global context. Comprising over 35 chapters by a team of international contributors, the handbook is divided into three parts based on the three persons of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Within these sections, cutting-edge issues are examined, including: God and genetics War, peace, and violence White supremacy Creation and sexuality Digital ethics Transgender studies Climate change Immigration and refugees Adopting a practical approach that must consider new concerns that have arisen with recent social, political, and cultural shifts, The Routledge Companion to Christian Ethics is essential reading for students and researchers in Christian ethics, religious ethics and Christianity studies. The handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields such as ethics and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Climate Change and the Symbol Deficit in the Christian Tradition by : Jan-Olav Henriksen
Download or read book Climate Change and the Symbol Deficit in the Christian Tradition written by Jan-Olav Henriksen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring how the climate crisis discloses the symbol deficit in the Christian tradition, this book argues that Christianity is rich in symbols that identify and address the failures of humans and the obstacles that prevent humans from doing well, while positive symbols that can engage people in constructive action seem underdeveloped. Henriksen examines the potential of the Christian tradition to develop symbols that can engage peoples in committed and sustained action to prevent further crisis. To do so, he argues that we need symbols that engage both intellectually and emotionally, and which enhance our perception of belonging in relationships with other humans, be it both in the present and in the future. According to Henriksen, the deficit can only be obliterated if we can develop symbols that have some root or resonance in the Christian tradition, provide concrete and specified guidance of agency, engage people both emotionally and intellectually, and finally open up to visions for a moral agency that provide positive motivations for caring about environmental conditions as a whole.
