Download or read book Meaning Consensus and Dialogue in Buddhist Christian Communication written by John D'Arcy May and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1984 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no lack of phenomenological literature on both Buddhism and Christianity, nor of theological literature on the «dialogue» between them. There is need, however, of a theory of communication between such communities of belief. Analyses of Buddhist and Christian canonical texts reveal the linguistic patterns underlying the «construction» of meaning in the earliest communities; a theory of consensus formation provides a broader framework for understanding the development and interaction of social meaning systems; and in this framework the problems posed by Buddhist-Christian communication are formulated and analysed.
Download or read book Everyday Men written by Roger B. Edrington and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1987 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about everyday men. They are approached through a unique marriage of biblical theology and empirical research which gives birth to a missionary challenge. Part One attempts to build a theological foundation for looking at people from the aspect of belief and unbelief. It sees this distinction as a crucial theme in the biblical material which remains relevant to men everywhere. The author discovers five elements of Christian belief in the biblical material while unbelief spans the five elements by its void, denial, or choice of an alternative. Part Two starts with a random sample, in-depth interview of fifty men in a «working-class» area of Birmingham, England. The interviews attempt to discover the nature and saliency of the men's belief and unbelief in the Christian faith. The analysis stresses the qualitative response with the emphasis on listening to the men describe their lives, values, beliefs, and lack of beliefs in their own words. The findings are also compared to other related studies, prompting some conclusions regarding the meaning of these findings. The author attempts to bring the biblical material to bear on the findings about ordinary people and asks whether they can be described as believers or unbelievers. From this starting point, it becomes obvious that the scope of unbelief is very broad. Part Three takes the understanding of God's Word and men's words and moves toward a missiological goal of approaching unbelievers with a gospel for today. It sees both the content and context of the gospel as important. The cultural problem is briefly considered and specific approaches are suggested in relation to the climate of unbelief in «working-class» English culture.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal religious narratives, either as therapeutic testimonies or as prophetic visions, have played an essential role in shaping the liturgy of the early Pentecostal movement. The present publication takes as its aim to study these oral narratives in the light of religious, literary and social theories, in order to establish what relevance they have with regard to the secularization of Christianity. The theses put forward are thought to be a contribution to narrative theory and practice. To theory formation, because they advocate a bilingualism in which religious and secular speech become part of the same metaphor. To religious practice, because they encourage communication in which the claims of the individual, society, and the Holy can be understood and answered responsibly.

Download or read book Pastoral Counselling in Inter cultural Perspective written by Emmanuel Yartekwei Lartey and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1987 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoral counselling has in recent years become a highly specialized activity in Western (especially American) society, informed largely by scientific psychology. The actual practice of pastoral counselling in any society brings out tensions in theology, psychology and culture. This book proposes an inter-cultural approach to pastoral counselling which draws on the culture, values, beliefs and views of the people themselves. Some views of human life prevailing in southern Ghana are examined and their import for Christian theology is expressed. Proposals of the essentials of an authentic Ghanaian Christian view of persons are made. There is then an investigation of the assumptions of two forms of western psychotherapy, namely Gestalt therapy and Family therapy, from an African perspective. Comparative case studies of a Ghanaian indigenous church with branches in Britain and U.S.A. and a British urban church with a counselling ministry are also given.

Download or read book Reconciling Heaven and Earth written by Karl-Wilhelm Westmeier and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1986 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bogotá is a city of migrants who come from the poverty stricken country areas in search of a better opportunity structure. But their adjustment to city life is accompanied by severe tensions and insecurity caused by the conflict between traditional and modern ways of life. In this urban predicament of «emotional polation and economic insecurity» the experience of Spirit ecstasy is of particular importance. It locks deeply into aboriginal patterns of religiosity and also provides the migrant with the inner security for which he craves. Thus in this ambient of rampant change the new city dweller finds a way to live a better, a more victorious and successful life.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caribbean society has constantly been characterized by poverty, dependence, and alienation. The Caribbean Conference of Churches, during the 1970's, promoted extensive development programmes to meet these challenges. Was this development activity recognizable as theological praxis? This study provides a framework for such a recognition by exploring a theological hermeneutic appropriate to the Caribbean, and by suggesting a theologically illuminating way of understanding why liberation praxis and Church proclamation are inseparable for Christian witness in the Caribbean.

Download or read book Theology in Folk Culture written by George MacDonald Mulrain and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1984 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theology which has for long monopolized the world scene is a reflection of God-talk by people of the rich western nations. By contrast, the religious experiences of people within the poorer countries have often been regarded as having little or nothing worthwhile to contribute to the mainstream of theological scholar- ship. As such, there is a need for theologians of the developed world as well as those from the so-called «third» world to appreciate the wealth of theological insights which emanate from folk cultures across the world. A truly multicultural approach to theology will emerge only when we admit that each culture has something unique to offer in our understanding of God.
