Book The Rebirth of Latin American Christianity

Download or read book The Rebirth of Latin American Christianity written by Todd Hartch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of 2014 Book Award for Excellence in Missiology from the American Society of Missiology Winner of the 2015 Christianity Today Award for Missions/Global Affairs Named by the International Bulletin of Missionary Studies as an Outstanding Book of 2014 for Mission Studies Predominantly Catholic for centuries, Latin America is still largely Catholic today, but the religious continuity in the region masks enormous changes that have taken place in the past five decades. In fact, it would be fair to say that Latin American Christianity has been transformed definitively in the years since the Second Vatican Council. Religious change has not been obvious because its transformation has not been, as in Africa and Asia, the sudden and massive growth of a new religion. It has been rather a simultaneous revitalization and fragmentation that threatened, awakened, and ultimately brought to a greater maturity a dormant and parochial Christianity. The rapid growth of Protestantism, especially Pentecostalism, forced Catholics to adopt a more active and dynamic approach to their religion. Although many Catholics left their church to become Pentecostals, many others responded to the Protestant challenge by joining new Catholic movements. Today, Latin American Christianity is so energized that the region is sending missionaries to Africa, Europe, and the United States. In The Rebirth of Latin American Christianity, Todd Hartch examines the changes that have swept across Latin America in the last fifty years and situates them in the context of the growth of Christianity in the global South.

Book Philosophy of Religion in Latin America and Europe

Download or read book Philosophy of Religion in Latin America and Europe written by Michael Schulz and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this publication suggests a double meaning: on the one hand, most of the contributions outline philosophies of religion relevant for Latin America, without, however, betraying an explicit Latin American perspective. Does not philosophical reason always articulate itself in the same way, whether in Berlin or Rio de Janeiro? On the other hand, the title refers to a specific form of philosophy that has developed regionally and bears explicit traces of its origins that differentiate it from philosophy in Europe. Does not philosophical reason always articulate itself in a specific cultural context? The charm of the book lies in the encounter of these two variants to think philosophically.

Book Karl Rahner  Culture and Evangelization

Download or read book Karl Rahner Culture and Evangelization written by Anthony Mellor and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The situation of religious institutional diminishment in many Western countries requires new approaches to the proclamation of Christian faith. As a response to these complexities, Karl Rahner suggested a “mystagogic” approach as a future pathway for theology. A mystagogical approach seeks modes of spiritual and theological conversation which engage the religious imagination and draws upon personal experiences of transcendence and religious sensibility. In Karl Rahner, Culture and Evangelization: New Approaches in an Australian Setting, Anthony Mellor develops a reflective process of contemporary “mystagogia”, describing how different fields of engagement require different patterns of mystagogical conversation. While focussing on the Australian setting, these differentiate arenas of engagement are also applicable to other cultural settings and offer fresh perspectives for evangelization today.

Book In Search of Christ in Latin America

Download or read book In Search of Christ in Latin America written by Samuel Escobar and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noted theologian Samuel Escobar offers a magisterial survey and study of Christology in Latin America. In Search of Christ in Latin America examines the figure of Jesus Christ in the context of Latin American culture, starting with the first Spanish influence in the sixteenth century and moving through popular religiosity and liberationist themes in Catholic and Protestant thought of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, culminating in an important description of the work of the Fraternidad Teológica Latinoamericana (FTL). Escobar provides theological, historical, and cultural analysis of Latin American understandings of Christ and places liberation theology within its social and revolutionary context. This book is an important step toward a rich understanding of the spiritual reality and powerful message of Jesus.

Book Contextual Theology for Latin America

Download or read book Contextual Theology for Latin America written by Sharon E. Heaney and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of Latin America, the theology of liberation is both dominant and world renowned. However, this context and the pursuit of theological relevance belong also to other voices. Orlando E. Costas, Samuel Escobar, J. Andrew Kirk, Emilio A. Nunez and C. Rene Padilla are thinkers who have sought to bring an evangelical understanding of liberation to the people of Latin America. Despite their influence on national and international theology and despite their transformative contribution to the praxis of churches ministering in contexts of poverty, their thought has not been systematized to dates. This work deals with this lacuna presenting the vitality of Latin American evangelical theology which seeks to be biblical, relevant and missiologically effective, thus offering a liberation which is holistic and grounded in the kingdom of God.

Book Latin American Evangelical Theology in the 1970 s

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Latin American evangelicals doing theology is mostly unknown. In the 1970s there was an important development with the formation of the Latin American Theological Fraternity (FTL). This group spearheaded the theological production in Latin America, marking the beginning of a critical stage in the history of evangelicals in the region. This book deals with the reception history in North America of the FTL and its program. Interamerican theological dialogue is documented and analysed.

Book New Evangelization

  • Author : Leonardo Boff
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2006-02-03
  • ISBN : 1597525618
  • Pages : 145 pages

Download or read book New Evangelization written by Leonardo Boff and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-02-03 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the 500th anniversary of the conquest of the Americas, Leonardo Boff offers a telling assessment of the impact and future prospects of Christianity. The anniversary has prompted intense soul-searching, especially in Latin America. While church conservatives have called triumphalistically for a "new evangelization" of the continent, others-remembering the ongoing toll among native peoples, blacks, and the poor-have called on the church to free itself from vestiges of its colonial past. In New Evangelization Boff cuts to the heart of tensions in the church today. In his first extensive treatment of Christian mission from a liberation theology perspective he deals with such topics as inculturation and the trinitarian basis of mission. He offers an extensive reflection on the figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe as model of a new, liberating evangelization. The gospel arrived in the Americas under the sign of domination. Boff argues that a new evangelization, rooted in the culture of the oppressed, must occur under the sign of liberation. Book jacket.

Book Journal of Latin American Theology  Volume 18  Number 1

Download or read book Journal of Latin American Theology Volume 18 Number 1 written by Lindy Scott and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special issue of the Journal of Latin American Theology is a collaboration with Memoria Indigena on Indigenous theology. The explanatory preface by guest editor Drew "Andres" Jennings-Grisham sets the stage for why Indigenous theologies and contributions are so needed by the global church. Toward that end, this issue of JLAT features more Indigenous voices than any of our previous publications. These voices reach us through poetry (Francisco Perez Alonzo and Jocabed Solano), a devotional reflection (Benita Simon Mendoza), comments on Bible translation (Sabayu), a documentary film on weaving (reviewed by Samuel Lagunas), and the final summary document of a 2021 Memoria Indigena gathering on theological education. They come through articles, an interview, and a group response that challenge the church to decolonialize its theology and practice (Juana L. Condori Quispe, Fernando Quicana, Drew Jennings-Grisham, and the FTL's 3i Working Group). They come through a historical review of mission work (Azucena Rosal), of Indigenous social movements (Julian Guaman Gualli), and of FTL publications (Drew Jennings-Grisham). Two master's theses have been summarized and adapted herein. One draws on Andean Kichwa spirituality to shape a holistic Christian theology of life (Maria Alejandra Andrade) and the other develops a hermeneutical proposal for dialoguing with scriptural narratives from, with, and for a specific Indigenous community (Jocabed Solano). We trust that engaging with these articles will lead us all into more mutual, interdependent, and responsible relationships in the power of Christ's Spirit, the Ruah.
