Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deconstructive faith experiences are growing in number throughout global Christianity. Factors like globalization, individualism, education, post-colonial experiences, fundamentalism, connectivity, and others contribute to accelerate this trend and shape the environment of faith communities that find themselves amongst increasingly postmodern tendencies. Many pastors are deciding to ignore the situation by rejecting deconstruction altogether, while others are embracing it blindly. Since an overwhelming number of churches worldwide embrace Pentecostalism, Esteban Solís proposes a pastoral response from a distinctively Pentecostal perspective that engages deconstruction of faith critically while staying open to conceive it as a tool for Spirit-led discipleship that can produce a more mature faith. The book examines six affirmations made by Jacques Derrida that explain deconstruction. Each of these is contrasted with specific examples of cultural changes taking place in Costa Rica, Peter’s experience at the house of Cornelius, and a Pentecostal perspective. By exploring a variety of authors, Solís identifies different tools that can help pastors to better understand the experience of deconstruction while engaging in discipleship practices that can produce mature believers in a postmodern era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mystery and the World, Maria Clara Bingemer explores how the place of religion in society has dramatically shifted since the Enlightenment. The modern era is characterised by a major change in humanity's fundamental desires that means that reason has taken the place of faith. Human beings, in their ongoing search for a scientific understanding of the world, have drifted away from seeking any essence of transcendence in their lives. Bingemer examines this transition and how, especially inthe postmodern era, it has led to technology and superficial happiness becoming all-important as opposed to the more sacred sense of contentment that governed us for centuries prior to the Enlightenment. In her discussion, however, Bingemer demonstrates that we as humans have not lost our innate desire to believe in a higher power and that, even in our world of instant satisfaction, we still need to fill the void left by religion. Through well-researched analysis of the modern era and discussion of some of the mystics of more recent times, she reveals to readers how our religious belief, whilst changed, is not dead and is still an important aspect of our existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En palabras del autor, debemos enfrentarnos a la conciencia de saber que todo entendimiento es frágil. Nos toca presenciar de cerca la debacle de instituciones, ideas, personalidades y proyectos. La posmodernidad vino para desestabilizar buena parte de las soluciones que funcionaron para nuestros padres y abuelos; hoy sus respuestas ya no resultan tan útiles para entender el mundo que nos rodea. Toda nuestra historia está simbolizada en esas dos escenas de los evangelios: el reconocimiento y la negación. Por gracia de Dios, nos unimos a Pedro en la afirmación más grande de todas: que el profeta Jesús es el Hijo del Dios viviente. Por cobardía, nos unimos a Pedro y seguimos diciendo "yo no conozco a ese hombre". La iglesia reconoce y niega, afirma y traiciona, acepta y rechaza. Veinte siglos de historia son testigos de esa dualidad.

This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Son muchos los españoles que se reconocen cristianos pero rechazan a la Iglesia católica. Una muestra de ello es el apoyo de tantos sectores alejados de la organización religiosa que reciben las campañas que realiza la parroquia San Carlos Borromeo del madrileño barrio de Vallecas. En esta pequeña iglesia del sur de Madrid, como en otras de la zona, se vive un cristianismo de a pie. Una interpretación literal del Evangelio. Este reportaje intenta explicar qué hay detrás de la famosa parroquia, pero sobre todo refleja mediante entrevistas dónde hunde sus raíces esta interpretación y aplicación del cristianismo. Desde el movimiento de los curas obreros, que participó en la fundación del sindicato CC.OO. (Comisiones Obreras) y estuvo adscrito a las luchas vecinales y de los trabajadores durante la Transición, al compromiso con los drogadictos, delincuentes y marginados durante los 80 del padre Enrique de Castro, para finalizar en los 90 y 2000, cuando la actividad de la parroquia se dirige fundamentalmente a los inmigrantes que llegan a Madrid en la situación más vulnerable. Para estos curas no existen conceptos como vida eterna u otras entelequias teológicas; para ellos Dios es el día a día, el gesto de compartir y acoger a quien más lo necesita aunque eso suponga violar la ley.

Book excerpt: Esta estimulante defensa de la fe, hecha por uno de los m&á s capaces defensores del cristianismo, es una reedici&ó n del cl&á sico History and Christianity, expandido para incluir el ensayo « Una defensa jur&í dica del cristianismo» del Dr. Montgomery.El Dr. John Montgomery, acadé mico, te&ó logo y apologista de la fe, desarroll&ó este libro a partir de un seminario que present&ó en la Universidad de British Columbia. Este accesible y convincente libro se divide en cuatro secciones:• La primera secci&ó n aborda cuatro errores b&á sicos que normalmente cometen aquellos que atacan la historicidad del Nuevo Testamento. • La segunda secci&ó n defiende la precisi&ó n de los documentos del Nuevo Testamento, usando pruebas que com&ú nmente se aplican a cualquier documento antiguo.• La tercera secci&ó n, titulada « Dios acorrala» , es una potente defensa de la naturaleza verdaderamente divina y verdaderamente humana de Cristo.• La cuarta secci&ó n muestra claramente que, si Jes&ú s no fuera el Hijo de Dios, las &ú nicas alternativas que quedan son o mentiroso o lun&á tico.• La &ú ltima secci&ó n contiene el ensayo « Una defensa jur&í dica del cristianismo» .El libro incluye la transcripci&ó n de un panel de discusi&ó n en el que el Dr. Montgomery, a partir de los cuatro puntos anteriores, argumenta convincentemente para demostrarle al lector la aplicaci&ó n de aquellos. Este es un excelente material para discusi&ó n en clases o estudio individual, especialmente apropiado para ayudar a j&ó venes cristianos a combatir conceptos humanistas de la Biblia y el cristianismo.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1997 study explores one of the most dramatic current interactions between religion and politics: the development of progressive Catholicism in Latin America. In particular, it examines economic, social and religious obstacles to progressive theology in Brazil. This 'popular' church built a utopian vision of social emancipation, drawing on Catholic social thought, humanistic Marxism and existentialism. It was a major democratizing force as Brazil emerged from dictatorship in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, however, the popular appeal of progressive Catholicism came under threat. Focusing on a Catholic community near Rio de Janeiro, Manuel A. Vásquez's incisive study shows how economic and political changes have affected religious practices, and argues that the plight of progressive Catholicism in Brazil forms part of a wider crisis of modernity and of humanist discourses.

Book excerpt: Includes·Samples and photos of emerging church worship gatherings ·Recommended resources for the emerging churchThe seeker-sensitive movement revolutionized the way we did church and introduced countless baby boomers to Jesus. Yet trends show that today’s post-Christian generations are not responding like the generations before them. As we enter a new cultural era, what do worship services look like that are connecting with the hearts of emerging generations? How do preaching, leadership, evangelism, spiritual formation, and, most of all, how we even think of “church” need to change?The Emerging Church goes beyond just theory and gets into very practical ways of assisting you in your local church circumstances. There is no one right way, no model for us all to emulate. But there is something better. Dan Kimball calls it “Vintage Christianity”: a refreshing return to an unapologetically sacred, raw, historical, and Jesus-focused missional ministry. Vintage Christianity connects with emerging post-seeker generations who are very open spiritually but are not interested in church. For pastors, leaders, and every concerned Christian, Kimball offers a riveting and easy-to-grasp exploration of today’s changing culture and gives insight into the new kind of churches that are emerging in its midst. Included is running commentary by Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Howard Hendricks, and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-secularism is the fundamental evidence of the end of modernity. Modernity, as sleeping reason in Francisco Goya's painting, realizes that, although it thought that it was awake, it was producing monsters. We try to analyze post-secular philosophy from the point of view of Russian religious thought. We believe that such philosophers as Vladimir Soloviev, Pavel Florensky, Sergey Bulgakov, Nikolai Berdyaev, Georges Florovsky, and Semen Frank may be helpful for understanding and overcoming post-secular order. Their unique views on the relations between religion and philosophy, science, and social life are apparently missing in the current Western debates. It seems to us that Russian religious philosophy becomes surprisingly up-to-date and attractive in the contemporary world. We hope that the present volume will be a significant step forward in the inclusion of the heritage of Russian religious philosophy in contemporary debates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses three fundamental questions about the interplay between the ethics of globality and spirituality: What are the practical implications of spirituality for the condition of life in a turbulent era of violent religious/non-religious extremism? In what way can spirituality, the view of love, compassion, tolerance, and mutual recognition encounter mistrust, enmity, separateness, and violence? How, and in what way, can spirituality contribute to the newly emerging global ethics? Religious scholars distinguish between the esoteric and exoteric sides of belief systems. Esotericism centres on the inner awareness, and conceals a certain spirituality that is only transmittable to those who could successfully pass through a process of initiatic preparation and transpersonal practices to understand the mystical dimensions of existence. In contrast, exotericism takes the outer dimension of every day consciousness into account and favours the possibility of the popular understanding of the essence of existence. In this perspective, truth could be grasped by the public without the need of any transpersonal initiative and transformation of consciousness. Esotericism extends beyond religion and has become the spiritual philosophy of life without the need of being essentially religious. It has become common, notably in the West, to identify oneself as spiritualist without having religious affiliations. The condition of globality has provided an unprecedented opportunity for spiritual perspectives to grow. Ideas, perspectives, beliefs, and philosophies of life are growing outside local/national containers to express themselves in different global settings, while the forces of globalisation are influencing local identities and cultures. While evolving global transformations strengthen people’s capability to leave institutionally ordered belief systems, it simultaneously enables them to rearrange themselves around alternative perspectives. These fundamental transformations cultivate a fabulous landscape for the growth of spirituality.
