Download or read book Resolving the Prevailing Conflicts Between Christianity and African Igbo Traditional Religion Through Inculturation written by Edwin Anaegboka Udoye and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For not integrating initially some of the good elements in Igbo culture, many Igbo Christians have double personality - Christian personality and traditional personality. They are Christians on Sundays but traditionalists on weekdays. To combat such an anomalous situation, in imitation of Christ's effort at completing what was lacking in the Jewish religion, author Edwin Udoye proposes radical inculturation. His book equally contains many serious theological reflections such that it recommends itself to both theologians and the scholars researching on the religions of the world. Udoye has therefore made a very significant contribution worthy of commendation to both theological and religious studies.

Different research projects out of the Tilburg tradition of practical theology are presented from an empirical-hermeneutical perspective.
Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
Download or read book Inculturation in Pastoral Care of the Sick written by Kenneth Nwokolo and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 2002 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " For most African Christians, the concept of healing set up by the Church does not reflect or acknowledge their views and experiences of sickness and healing. Inculturation in pastoral care of the sick is an attempt to recognise and possibly integrate African spirituality and worldview into the liturgical practice of anointing and pastoral care of the sick. Anointing and pastoral care of the sick can become more meaningful and beneficial to African Christians when it is structured to address questions of sickness and healing as experienced by Christians in their respective cultural backgrounds. Kenneth Nwokolo was born in Obibi Orlu, Nigeria in 1963. He obtained his B.Ph and B.Th at Bigard Memorial Seminary Ikot Ekpene and Enugu in 1986 and 1990 respectively, with a doctorate in Theology in 2002 from the University of Bonn. In addition to his work in some parishes, he has had practical experiences with pastoral care of the sick in both home and hospital. "
Download or read book Toward a Theology of Inculturation written by Aylward Shorter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-01-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Inculturation' is a word come only recently into theological language, having its origin and impetus in a revolution in the perception of Christian mission--even of Christian identity. 'Toward a Theology of Inculturation' is the first book to bring together the many strands of current and historical Catholic thought on what might be called a theology of a multicultural church. Inculturation, Shorter argues, is the recognition that faith must in effect become culture to be fully received and lived. In the course of a wide-ranging discussion, the author explores the intimate relationship between inculturation and theology, focusing in particular on scripture, the history of Òmissions (especially in Africa), and contemporary Catholic thought. Shorter concludes with an exploration of the future of the church--a multicultural church. 'Toward a Theology of Inculturation' offers a substantive explication of what inculturation is, what it is not, how and when it occurs, and what its limits are or should be.

Download or read book The Forgotten Instruction written by Kenneth J. Martin and published by LiturgyTrainingPublications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Forgotten Instruction: The Roman Liturgy, Inculturation, and Legitimate Adaptations, Father Martin explores the evolution of the Church's theology and practice of inculturation and describes how these insights have influenced the accommodations and adaptations made within the Roman liturgy. Beginning with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, explaining Pope John Paul II's understanding of the role of inculturation in evangelization, catechesis, and liturgical renewal and ending with the Fourth Instruction on the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, this work surveys the liturgical developments made in the Roman rite. Particular attention is given to the original and subsequent revisions to the Rite of Marriage, the Rite of Ordination, the Rites of Anointing and Viaticum, and the Order of Christian Funerals. The Forgotten Instruction also comments on the responsibility that the Church bears in preserving the Roman rite while enabling it to serve its proper role in the transfiguration of cultures and the lives of individuals. With tables that break down the areas and reasons for adaptation, as well as special considerations about the procedures to be followed in more radical adaptations, this book is an informative, practical resource that will provide readers with insights into responsible pastoral practice.--Publisher.

Download or read book Narrative Research in Ministry written by Carl E. Savage and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are in a real sense, our stories. Who we are, what we think, and how we act are all shaped by the many large and small stories that make up the discourse embedded in our multi-sensory social experience. It is this postmodern understanding of identity and reality that has prompted the authors to fashion a new way of thinking about doing research in faith communities today, particularly through a Doctor of Ministry program. It is our belief that, in order for faith communities to define themselves and to know what to do in ministry, they must first understand the multiple stories which intersect with a given ministry situation in their specific context.
