Download or read book Whose History Counts written by June Bam and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally planned as a fact-based book on the pre-colonial history of the Eastern Cape in the true tradition of history, this ground-breaking book focuses on epistemological and foundational questions about the writing of history and whose history counts. Whose History Counts challenges the very concept of ?pre-colonial? and explores methodologies on researching and writing history. The reason for this dramatic change of focus is attributed in the introduction of the book to the student-led rebellion that erupted following the #RhodesMustFall campaign which started at the University of Cape Town on 9 March 2015. Key to the rebellion was the students? opposition to what they dubbed ?colonial? education and a clamour for, among others, a ?decolonised curriculum?. This book is a direct response to this clarion call.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Council on Pastoral Care and Counseling (ICPCC) met in August 2011 in Rotorua, New Zealand for its 9th International Congress.

The ICPCC offers guidelines on how to cope with these situations, which also include the indigenous traditions of the Maori culture, projects on inter-religious encounter, etc. - all of which provoke a rethinking of traditional spirituality. The Congress proceedings are presented in this book as a state of discussion within this globalized network. (Series: Theologie: Forschung und Wissenschaft - Vol. 33)
Download or read book Meaning in Suffering written by Daniel J. Louw and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic assumption is that suffering, as well as its association with evil, causes an existential problem as expressed in the now classic question: Why? For what purpose? Hence the attempt to take up the challenge put forth by theodicy, and to develop a theological argument along the lines of a theology of the cross and a theology of the resurrection. The book focuses on the following question in order to develop a theological model for pastoral care and counselling: If it is true that God-images are influenced by culture and do play a decisive role in people's reaction to severe suffering and pain, how should God be interpreted and portrayed if Christian spirituality still is an influential factor in postmodernity's quest for meaning? What God-image is appropriate for a new millennium? These questions are linked to the problem of a pastoral diagnosis. A reinterpretation of the power of God (God's omnipotence) is proposed in terms of the following pastoral concepts: compassion/vulnerability, and transformation/empowerment. The book has been compiled along the lines of the following basic pastoral questions posed by people who suffer due to events which befall us as a «tragedy, » afflicting the innocent and the harmless: Why God? (Cause and explanation); How God? (Mode and identification); Where God and what? (Polarization and the will of God); When God? (Transformation and overcoming); For what purpose? (Our human quest for meaning).

Book excerpt: Draws on themes of the disability-rights movement to identify people with disabilities as members of a socially disadvantaged minority group rather than as individuals who need to adjust. Highlights the hidden history of people with disabilities in church and society. Proclaiming the emancipatory presence of the disabled God, the author maintains the vital importance of the relationship between Christology and social change.

Download or read book Introducing Body Theology written by Lisa Isherwood and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to examine the ambiguous relationship that Christianity has with the body. Incarnation is central to Christian belief but that doctrine has not encouraged a positive theology of the body. The authors explore why this has been so and examine ways in which a more body-positive theology can be developed using our Christian heritage. Starting from a feminist perspective they reclaim women's bodies from the embrace of patriarchy and in doing so clearly show how this reclamation challenges many systems of oppression. This work illustrates that the personal is political, even in theology!

Download or read book Alone in the World written by Van Huyssteen and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-04-12 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Alone in the World? -- first given as the 2004 Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh -- J. Wentzel van Huyssteen develops the interdisciplinary dialogue that he set out in The Shaping of Rationality (1999), applying this methodology to the uncharted waters between theological anthropology and paleoanthropology. Among other things, van Huyssteen argues that scientific notions of human uniqueness help us to ground theological notions of human distinctiveness in flesh-and-blood, embodied experiences and protect us from overly complex theological abstractions regarding the "image of God." Focusing on the interdisciplinary problem of human origins and distinctiveness, van Huyssteen accesses the origins of the embodied human mind through the spectacular prehistoric cave paintings of western Europe, fifteen of which are reproduced in color in this volume. Boldly connecting the widely separated fields of Christian theology and paleoanthropology through careful interdisciplinary reflection, Alone in the World? will encourage sustained investigation into the question of human uniqueness.
Download or read book The Grammar of isiXhosa written by J.C. Oosthuysen and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a life-long language practioner who has spoken isiXhosa since childhood, this grammar represents a significant advance in understanding the structure of isiXhosa, the language of more than 8 million South Africans. In this ground-breaking book isiXhosa is described in its own right, freeing it from preconceived grammatical ideas derived from European languages. All the features of the language are portrayed in this revisionist grammar that reinvents isiXhosa as a language with its own genius. All students of isiXhosa urgently need this book. Both mother-tongue speakers and those studying isiXhosa as a second or third language have to take cognisance of this new approach to escape the restrictions imposed by a Eurocentric bias. It is essential to authors of textbooks and those who prescribe syllabi. It is also of significance for those attempting to gain insight in the structure of related African languages.
Download or read book Contested Issues in Training Ministers in South Africa written by Marilyn Naidoo and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to engage challenging issues that are called into question during ministerial training. This is a volume presenting eleven contested issues that attend to concerns related to structures, processes, knowledge and practices within theological education. Contributors offer keen insights about how to think differently and more complexly about these matters within a changing South Africa. It is an affirmation of the multiple voices, locations, identities and positions within South African theological education, as a starting point for transformative theological education. It is hoped that these reflections can enable future ministers to confront the question of how to be in the world with the required competence, integrity and professional identity to meet the needs of church and society.
