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: Se exponen en este estudio las grandes líneas de reflexión que vertebran el discurso de Pedro Poveda como hombre implicado en los problemas religiosos, intelectuales y sociales de su tiempo: la relación entre religión y sociedad; los fenómenos propios de la secularización; el papel de los cristianos seglares en la sociedad laica; la mirada a hombres y mujeres de la primitiva Iglesia como paradigma de vida cristiana en el mundo; la búsqueda de un feminismo “lógico, justo y cristiano” y el compromiso con la promoción humana y social, a través de la educación y la cultura. Todas son cuestiones que ocupan un lugar propio en el proyecto espiritual de Pedro Poveda y en la peculiaridad de sus realizaciones, en especial, en la creación de la Institución Teresiana, Asociación Internacional de fieles laicos. La relectura de sus escritos lleva al lector, más allá de la letra y de la distancia en el tiempo, a identificarse con su figura de santo y hombre, entregado a Dios y a los problemas del mundo en que vivió. La publicación condensa el contenido del Volumen I de las Obras de Pedro Poveda, según se recoge en el estudio introductorio del mismo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuarenta años después del Vaticano II, el cristianismo se encuentra enfrentado a una profunda crisis, sobre todo en los países del Primer Mundo. ¿En qué ha quedado el legado del Concilio y cuáles son las causas conciliares de la crisis posterior? ¿Qué factores han intervenido en la época postconciliar que han llevado a la situación actual? ¿Se puede hablar del Vaticano II como una oportunidad histórica fallida? Éstas son algunas de las preguntas a las que pretende responder este estudio. Pero no se trata sólo de causas internas del catolicismo, ya que hay nuevos factores que han propiciado la pérdida de relevancia del cristianismo en las sociedades desarrolladas. La secularización de la sociedad y la laicidad del Estado, juntamente con la crisis de la modernidad y la aparición de una cultura postmoderna, así como la globalización y la tercera revolución industrial han creado un nuevo contexto histórico. Las iglesias tienen dificultades para ubicarse en la sociedad ya que se ha roto la sintonía entre el modelo eclesial y el sociocultural. Hay un desfase institucional, teológico y organizativo, para responder a las nuevas demandas de las sociedades post-cristianas existentes en Europa. El autor analiza los problemas e intenta ofrecer algunas líneas de actuación: El protagonismo sociocultural de un laicado mayor de edad, lo cual exige la reforma interna y externa de la Iglesia; el replanteamiento de la institución eclesiástica para adecuarla a las nuevas necesidades pastorales; la vuelta a una eclesiología de comunión en el contexto del diálogo intracatólico, ecuménico y con las grandes religiones mundiales; una nueva espiritualidad que posibilite la experiencia de Dios en una sociedad secular, etcétera.
Download or read book Ser todav a cristianos written by Jesús Espeja Pardo and published by . This book was released on 2009-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los cristianos ya no vivimos en una situación de cristiandad en la que los marcos sociales facilitaban una práctica de la religión que no comprometiera demasiado la propia responsabilidad personal, sino que estamos inmersos en una sociedad laica, plural, democrática y, en ocasiones, hostil a la fe y a la práctica religiosa. En este contexto, merece la pena plantearse si la confesión cristiana debe o no tener una relevancia pública, cómo debe ser, en caso afirmativo, esa presencia pública, y cuáles el precio para lograr esa nueva presencia. Este libro responde a estos interrogantes partiendo de la situación reciente para plantear después cómo debe ser la presencia pública de la Iglesia, y la renovación cristiana que dicha presencia implica.

Download or read book I Want You to Be written by Tomáš Halík and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his two previous books translated into English, Patience with God and Night of the Confessor, best-selling Czech author and theologian Tomáš Halík focused on the relationship between faith and hope. Now, in I Want You to Be, Halík examines the connection between faith and love, meditating on a statement attributed to St. Augustine—amo, volo ut sis, “I love you: I want you to be”—and its importance for contemporary Christian practice. Halík suggests that because God is not an object, love for him must be expressed through love of human beings. He calls for Christians to avoid isolating themselves from secular modernity and recommends instead that they embrace an active and loving engagement with nonbelievers through acts of servitude. At the same time, Halík critiques the drive for mere material success and suggests that love must become more than a private virtue in contemporary society. I Want You to Be considers the future of Western society, with its strong division between Christian and secular traditions, and recommends that Christians think of themselves as partners with nonbelievers. Halik’s distinctive style is to present profound insights on religious themes in an accessible way to a lay audience. As in previous books, this volume links spiritual and theological/philosophical topics with a tentative diagnosis of our times. This is theology written on one’s knees; Halik is as much a spiritual writer as a theologian. I Want You to Be will interest both general and scholarly readers interested in questions of secularism and Christianity in modern life.
Download or read book Women Build the Welfare State written by Donna J. Guy and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pathbreaking history, Donna J. Guy shows how feminists, social workers, and female philanthropists contributed to the emergence of the Argentine welfare state through their advocacy of child welfare and family-law reform. From the creation of the government-subsidized Society of Beneficence in 1823, women were at the forefront of the child-focused philanthropic and municipal groups that proliferated first to address the impact of urbanization, European immigration, and high infant mortality rates, and later to meet the needs of wayward, abandoned, and delinquent children. Women staffed child-centered organizations that received subsidies from all levels of government. Their interest in children also led them into the battle for female suffrage and the campaign to promote the legal adoption of children. When Juan Perón expanded the welfare system during his presidency (1946–1955), he reorganized private charitable organizations that had, until then, often been led by elite and immigrant women. Drawing on extensive research in Argentine archives, Guy reveals significant continuities in Argentine history, including the rise of a liberal state that subsidized all kinds of women’s and religious groups. State and private welfare efforts became more organized in the 1930s and reached a pinnacle under Juan Perón, when men took over the welfare state and philanthropic and feminist women’s influence on child-welfare activities and policy declined. Comparing the rise of Argentina’s welfare state with the development of others around the world, Guy considers both why women’s child-welfare initiatives have not received more attention in historical accounts and whether the welfare state emerges from the top down or from the bottom up.
Download or read book Science and Catholicism in Argentina 1750 1960 written by Miguel de Asúa and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and Catholicism in Argentina (1750–1960) is the first comprehensive study on the relationship between science and religion in a Spanish-speaking country with a Catholic majority and a "Latin" pattern of secularisation. The text takes the reader from Jesuit missionary science in colonial times, through the conflict-ridden 19th century, to the Catholic revival of the 1930s in Argentina. The diverse interactions between science and religion revealed in this analysis can be organised in terms of their dynamic of secularisation. The indissoluble identification of science and the secular, which operated at rhetorical and institutional levels among the liberal elite and the socialists in the 19th century, lost part of its force with the emergence of Catholic scientists in the course of the 20th century. In agreement with current views that deny science the role as the driving force of secularisation, this historical study concludes that it was the process of secularisation that shaped the interplay between religion and science, not the other way around.

Book excerpt: Esta publicación recoge las ponencias plenarias y las comunicaciones presentadas y leídas en el VII Simposio Internacional de la SEDLL, que con el título Canon, literatura infantil y juvenil y otras literaturas, fue asumido por la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha y se celebró en Ciudad Real, en diciembre de 2001. Aparecen aquí recogidas también las actividades relacionadas con los estudios mencionadas arriba: talleres y seminarios que suscitaron provechosas discusiones, sugerencias y debates. Como dice Alfredo Rodríguez López-Vázquez en la Presentación: La celebración del VII Simposio con su doble concreción en el título, del objeto de estudio, y de su relación con el canon, ha venido a representar un hito importante. Este Simposio pretendía, ya desde su diseño por parte del Comité Científico, un nuevo planteamiento de orientaciones críticas y metodológicas en el ámbito de la educación y de la investigación en torno a la literatura que leen los niños y los jóvenes de hoy en día en el contexto de la sociedad tecnológica moderna. Creemos que esta publicación permite afirmar que se ha cumplido con los objetivos previstos para cada una de las áreas temáticas.
Download or read book Otherness in Hispanic Culture written by Teresa Fernandez Ulloa and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses contemporary discourses on a wide variety of topics related to the ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and the ways in which they have shaped the Spanish language and cultural manifestations in both Spain and Hispanic America. The majority of the chapters are concerned with ‘otherness’ in its various dimensions; the alien Other – foreign, immigrant, ethnically different, disempowered, female or minor – as well as the Other of different sexual orientation and/or ideology. Following Octavio Paz, otherness is expressed as the attempt to find the lost object of desire, the frustrating endeavour of the androgynous Plato wishing to embrace the other half of Zeus, who in his wrath, tore off from him. Otherness compels human beings to search for the complement from which they were severed. Thus a male joins a female, his other half, the only half that not only fills him but which allows him to return to the unity and reconciliation which is restored in its own perfection, formerly altered by divine will. As a result of this transformation, one can annul the distance that keeps us away from that which, not being our own, turns into a source of anguish. The clashing diversity of all things requires the human predisposition to accept that which is different. Such a predisposition is an expression of epistemological, ethical and political aperture. The disposition to co-exist with the different is imagined in the de-anthropocentricization of the bonds with all living realms. And otherness is, in some way, the reflection of sameness (mismidad). The other is closely related to the self, because the vision of the other implies a reflection about the self; it implies, consciously or not, a relationship with the self. These topics are addressed in this book from an interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing arts, humanities and social sciences.
