Download or read book Authenticity in Fusion Music written by Elsen Portugal and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples of Brazil have come to faith in Christ in large numbers in recent decades. As Christianity takes root in each culture, it may incorporate expressive forms of music and art, which can range from those identical to earlier cultural forms to those which are fully imported. But what happens when musicians and artists of a local indigenous community fuse elements from a variety of genres and create their own music? Are they just imitations of external forms? Or are they authentic creations from elements that have now become their own sounds, too? Christian musicians among the Xerente (pronounced Sheh- ́ren-teh) have created their own fusion genre(s) to express their faith, communicate the gospel, and edify their churches. Their music includes elements from their cultural tradition as well as from (secular) genres of the northeastern region of Brazil. Is it, then, authentically Xerente? As we discuss in this book, independent of tangible markers or its long history, the authenticity of an art form can be demonstrated through a number of connections with the community and signposted by its meaning and function among the people, as well as the competence and agency of the people in their artistic choices.
Download or read book Christian Mission written by ALAN. NEELY and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case study method of teaching has revolutionized higher education, becoming the favored technique of presenters who want to help groups entertain options outside their normal repertory of programmed responses. In Christian Mission: A Case Study Approach, Alan Neely of Princeton Theological Seminary adapts this educational tool to the study of cross- cultural ministries and mission. First, Neely introduces the case study in Christian thought by analyzing what is meant by a ""context"" and what the problem of contextualization means. This introduction will help classroom instructor as well as the casual reader understand how to use ""cases"" and what issues are involved. Neely then tackles questions that arise in the encounter of Christianity with Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and primal religions. From the contemporary case of ""A Letter from Claire"" to the classic historical study ""Roberto de Nobili,"" Christian Mission clearly illustrates how far and deep questions of contextualization run.

Download or read book Creativity and Captivity written by Uday Balasundaram and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultimately, what really does it mean to be creative? How can we see ourselves as participating in the creativity of God for mission? All people are creative. Sadly, however, for many, creativity is stifled and remains stunted due to several reasons—social, economic, political, cultural, and even spiritual. This study explores how ICMs—indigenous cosmopolitan musicians—negotiate their creativity amid the liminal spaces they occupy as they share in the creativity of God for mission through their music. But what exactly does it mean to share in the creativity of God for mission? Contrary to popular notion, ICMs evidence that creativity is not merely innovation; it is not a psychological metric for measuring human potential; it is certainly not the “icing on the cake” reserved for a few so-called creatives or artists. Rather, “theological creativity” is participation in the creatio Dei; it is theologically prior to mission. As a missiological framework, creatio Dei is understood here in terms of creative being, creative construction (design), and creative performance. Hopefully, this book can help clarify and expand our understanding of what it means to be truly creative and, thereby, with the help of the Creator, put into practice principles of theological creativity as we share in the creativity of God in the world, with others.
