Download or read book The Conditions of Living Christian Faith in the Secular World written by Rajesh Jacob Maruthukunnel and published by Gregorian & Biblical Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the conditions of Christian faith in the secular world through a study of the views of Charles Taylor and Joseph Ratzinger. Taylor overcomes the "disappearance thesis of religion" through his narrative of secularization and points out the changed conditions of faith today. He traces the tacit levels behind our choice for belief/unbelief and identifies the "space open to transcendence" in the secular world as the place of religion today. Ratzinger conceives secularization as a mutual separation of faith and reason, giving birth to the "dictatorship of relativism" in the West. He elaborates the rationality of faith - through his "theology of logos" - to overcome the "dictatorship of relativism" and to re-establish a broad concept of reason which is not reduced to narrow instrumental rationality. By bringing together Taylor's view of the "space open to transcendence" and Ratzinger's view of the "theology of logos", this study overcomes the "disappearance thesis of Christianity" and the view that Christian faith is irrational and mythical. The synthesis established through a dialogue between the "theology of logos" and the "space open to transcendence" is found to be relevant to the Syro-Malabar Church. The "space open to transcendence" is an appeal to the Syro-Malabar Church to understand its genuine place in its context(s) and the "theology of logos" is an aid to understanding Christian faith as true and as reasonable.

Download or read book Christian Ashrams Hindu Caves and Sacred Rivers written by Mario I. Aguilar and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 20th-century India, Christian-Hindu dialogue was forever transformed following the opening of Shantivanam, the first Christian ashram in the country. Mario I. Aguilar brings together the histories of the five pioneers of Christian-Hindu dialogue and their involvement with the ashram, to explore what they learnt and taught about communion between the two religions, and the wide ranging consequences of their work. The author expertly threads together the lives and friendships between these men, while uncovering the Hindu texts they used and were influenced by, and considers how far some of them became, in their personal practice, Hindu. Ultimately, this book demonstrates the impact of this history on contemporary dialogue between Christians and Hindus, and how both faiths can continue to learn and grow together.

Download or read book Contextual Missiology of the Spirit written by Wessly Lukose and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the identity, context and features of Pentecostalism in Rajasthan, India as well as the internal and external issues facing Pentecostals. It argues for an indigenous origin of Pentecostalism in Rajasthan, as it is a product of local Spirit revivals in the existing churches and the missionary activities of Indian Pentecostals. It also reveals that both the intra-church as well as extra-church issues place Pentecostals in a 'missio-ethical dilemma.' The book aims to suggest 'a contextual missiology of the Spirit,' as a new model of contextual missiology from a Pentecostal perspective. It is presented as a glocal, ecumenical, transformational, and public missiology.
Download or read book Wrestling with God in Context written by M. P. Joseph and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shoki Coe was among the first to speak of "contextualization" in theology. Coe argued that theology is not a reiteration of past formulas or doctrines but a response to the self-disclosing initiative of the living God in history and human experience. Yet he remains little known outside his native Taiwan. Wresting with God in Context introduces Coe's work and social vision and evaluates his contributions to the field of missiology and ecclesiology. Eager to offer a creative and critical witness to Christian faith, Coe worked tirelessly to liberate theology from its Western captivity and shaped a generation of theological reflection on God, culture, and history. For thousands of students and church members around the world, Shoki Coe was the spiritual father that guided their contextual theological pursuit to the living reality of God. In order to reflect on his legacy, the chapters in this volume--including original essays from Stephen Bevans, Dwight Hopkins, and Enrique Dussel--tackle the critical, methodological issues related to doing theology, reading the Scriptures, and being the church.
