This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'auteur contribue à la Théologie africaine en présentant le Christ comme "Ancien" et non uniquement "Ancêtre". Il s'agit ici de présenter Jésus de Nazareth dans l'horizon de sa mort et de sa résurrection, conception inexistante dans le milieu bantu. Car chez les Bantu, la mort est une malédiction dont il faut trouver la cause. Il leur présente un véritable paradigme salutaire et libérateur en la personne de Jésus, Véritable et Unique Parole de Dieu, qui est un Ancien à suivre.

Book Synopsis Dogme et inculturation en Afrique by : Léonard Santedi Kinkupu
Download or read book Dogme et inculturation en Afrique written by Léonard Santedi Kinkupu and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Dogme et inculturation en Afrique est un ouvrage original qui mérite toute notre attention, bien au-delà du public africain. Il a l'avantage de nous montrer que les problèmes brûlants posés aujourd'hui par l'inculturation du langage chrétien dans la diversité des cultures nous renvoient aux questions radicales sur la notion de dogme, posées par les modernistes, il y a déjà un siècle. (...) Quel système philosophique peut être assumé par le langage dogmatique ? Comment faire en sorte que la vérité dogmatique soit une vérité vivifiante ? Comment voir dans la pratique chrétienne elle-même un lieu de sens et favoriser une réinterprétation créatrice du message chrétien ? Quel est le lien entre le véhicule culturel d'une époque et le contenu objectif des énoncés de la foi ? C'est sur la base d'une connaissance approfondie des questions complexes soulevées par les représentants du Modernisme, surtout par E. Le Roy, que L. Santedi Kinkupu propose sa vision de l'inculturation du christianisme en Afrique, ce qu'il appelle volontiers une théologie de l'invention. Parmi tous les travaux déjà existants sur l'inculturation, c'est ce qui fait le prix et l'originalité de sa contribution. (...) On lira les propositions nuancées du théologien de Kinshasa. À partir de la réalité complexe de l'Afrique qu'il habite intellectuellement et existentiellement, il a élaboré une théologie de l'inculturation qui a une portée universelle pour toute l'Eglise au seuil du troisième millénaire. Il a le mérite de traiter avec rigueur la question délicate de l'inculturation du dogme. " C. Geffré, in Préface de l'ouvrage.
Book Synopsis A Systems Theory of Religion by : Niklas Luhmann
Download or read book A Systems Theory of Religion written by Niklas Luhmann and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Systems Theory of Religion, still unfinished at Niklas Luhmann's death in 1998, was first published in German two years later thanks to the editorial work of André Kieserling. One of Luhmann's most important projects, it exemplifies his later work while redefining the subject matter of the sociology of religion. Religion, for Luhmann, is one of the many functionally differentiated social systems that make up modern society. All such subsystems consist entirely of communications and all are "autopoietic," which is to say, self-organizing and self-generating. Here, Luhmann explains how religion provides a code for coping with the complexity, opacity, and uncontrollability of our world. Religion functions to make definite the indefinite, to reconcile the immanent and the transcendent. Synthesizing approaches as disparate as the philosophy of language, historical linguistics, deconstruction, and formal systems theory/cybernetics, A Systems Theory of Religion takes on important topics that range from religion's meaning and evolution to secularization, turning decades of sociological assumptions on their head. It provides us with a fresh vocabulary and a fresh philosophical and sociological approach to one of society's most fundamental phenomena.

Book Synopsis The Roots of Religion by : Roger Trigg
Download or read book The Roots of Religion written by Roger Trigg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cognitive science of religion is a new discipline that looks at the roots of religious belief in the cognitive architecture of the human mind. The Roots of Religion deals with the philosophical and theological implications of the cognitive science of religion which grounds religious belief in human cognitive structures: religious belief is ’natural’, in a way that even scientific thought is not. Does this new discipline support religious belief, undermine it, or is it, despite many claims, perhaps eventually neutral? This subject is of immense importance, particularly given the rise of the ’new atheism’. Philosophers and theologians from North America, UK and Australia, explore the alleged conflict between truth claims and examine the roots of religion in human nature. Is it less ’natural’ to be an atheist than to believe in God, or gods? On the other hand, if we can explain theism psychologically, have we explained it away. Can it still claim any truth? This book debates these and related issues.
Book Synopsis Theologizing in Black by : Celucien L. Joseph
Download or read book Theologizing in Black written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologizing in Black is a creative and rigorous comparative study on black theological musings and liberative intellectual contemplations engaging the theological ethics and anthropology of both continental African theologians (Tanzania, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo) and black theologians in the African Diaspora (Haiti, Trinidad, Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, United States). Using the pluralist approach to religion promoted by the philosopher of religion and theologian John Hick, the book is also an attempt to bridge an important gap in the comparative study of religion, Africana Studies, and Liberation theology, both in Africa and its diaspora. The book provides an analytical framework and intellectual critique of white Christian theologians who deliberately disengage with and exclude black and Africana theologians in their theological writings and conversations. From this vantage point, Africana critical theology is said to be a theology of contestation as it seeks to deconstruct white supremacy in the theological enterprise. This book not only articulates a rhetoric of protest about the misrepresentation and underrepresentation of the humanity of African and black people in white theological imagination; it also enunciates a positive image of black humanity and congruently promulgates a constructive representation of blackness. The paramount goal of Africana theological anthropology and ethics is the preservation of life and promotion of human dignity and the sheer acknowledgement that the African people and people of African descent are bearers of the image of God.

Download or read book Living the Truth written by Klaus Demmer and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is moral theology related to pastoral theology? In this first English translation of Living the Truth, Klaus Demmer answers this question by offering a complete theory of action. Its crucial element is truthfulness, which Demmer claims is a basic attitude that must be translated concretely into our individual decisions. Demmer demonstrates that the demand for truthfulness offers a critical corrective to the usual praxis whereby ethical norms are formulated. This has significant consequences for every area of ethical directives, including questions about celibacy and partnerships. Demmer moves away from the act-centered morality that dominates the neo-Scholastic manuals of moral theology. His concern is to show how our actions embody and carry out a more original anthropological project. Not only does this anthropological project condition our insights into goods and values, it provides the criteria by which our actions are judged morally. This book will be welcomed by all who are looking for ethical norms, and by all whose task it is to formulate such norms.

He covers the topics of the church's identity and characteristics; its growth through purity, unity, and discipline; its offices and leadership structures; its ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper; and its ministries.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of the Ismailis by : Farhad Daftary
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Ismailis written by Farhad Daftary and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ismaili Muslims, who belong to the Shia branch of Islam, live in over 25 different countries around the world, mainly in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Their history has typically been linked to the history of the various countries in which they live, but the worldwide community is united under Prince Karim Aga Khan, the spiritual leader and 49th Imam of the Ismaili Muslims. Few fields of Islamic studies have witnessed as drastic a change as Ismaili studies, due in part to the recent discovery of numerous historical texts, and author Farhad Daftary makes extensive use of these new sources in the Historical Dictionary of the Ismailis. This comprehensive new reference work is the first of its kind on the Ismailis and presents a summary of the findings of modern scholarship on the Ismaili Shia Muslims and different facets of their heritage. The dictionary covers all phases of Ismaili history as well as the main doctrines of the community. It includes an introductory chapter, which provides a broad historical survey of the Ismailis, followed by alphabetical entries on all major aspects of the community, such as key figures, institutions, traditions, and doctrines. It also contains a chronology, genealogical tables, a glossary, and a substantial bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Ismailis.

This comprehensive exploration of the doctrine of sin looks at what the Bible teaches about sin's origin, nature, and consequences, engaging with historical and contemporary movements. Dealing with difficult issues such as original sin, angelic sin, corporate sin, greater and lesser sins, and more, this book ends with a discussion on divine grace, which is the only hope for the problem of sin.

Download or read book Islamisation written by A. C. S. Peacock and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spread of Islam and the process of Islamisation (meaning both conversion to Islam and the adoption of Muslim culture) is explored in the twenty-four chapters of this volume. Taking a comparative perspective, both the historical trajectory of Islamisation and the methodological problems in its study are addressed, with coverage moving from Africa to China and from the seventh century to the start of the colonial period in 1800. Key questions are addressed. What is meant by Islamisation? How far was the spread of Islam as a religion bound up with the spread of Muslim culture? To what extent are Islamisation and conversion parallel processes? How is Islamisation connected to Arabisation? What role do vernacular Muslim languages play in the promotion of Muslim culture? The broad, comparative perspective allows readers to develop a thorough understanding of the process of Islamisation over eleven centuries of its history.
