Book Remembering Oscar Romero and the Martyrs of El Salvador

Download or read book Remembering Oscar Romero and the Martyrs of El Salvador written by John Thiede and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Beatification of Monseñor Oscar Romero, our current Pope Francis has asked theologians to consider how we might allow for an expanded definition for martyrdom in the 21st century. Remembering Oscar Romero and the Martyrs of El Salvador responds to that challenge. How do we name Oscar Romero, Rutilio Grande, the U.S. churchwomen, and the Jesuits and two laywomen killed at the UCA as martyrs? Is it a new category with a new definition? Or is it simply an amplification of what we have long considered Christian witness? While there is a long history of martyrdom in Latin America, this book elaborates on four case studies for martyrdom focusing on the reality in El Salvador: Rutilio Grande, S.J. killed in 1977, Archbishop Oscar Romero killed in 1980, the U.S. churchwomen killed in 1980, and the six members of the UCA Jesuit community and their two female collaborators killed in 1989. Insights from the work of Jon Sobrino illuminate these case studies. First, his Christological insights from Jesus the Liberator and Christ the Liberator are used to analyze the reality of martyrdom, particularly in reference to the terms martyr, crucified people, and martyred people. Second, his more recent articles challenge a strict interpretation of the traditional definition of martyrdom, especially focusing on his terms Jesuanic martyr, a martyr for justice, and even a more polemic suggestion of an anonymous Christian martyr. Finally, the book concludes by combining Sobrino's insights and the reality of martyrdom today, updated with the recent scholarship in Romero's beatification process which attempts to show Romero as a martyr. In the end, the book hopes to offer some suggestions for an expanded definition of martyrdom in the 21st century. By responding to the call of Pope Francis for an expanded definition, the reality of martyrdom in Latin America might be better understood and applied to the universal church.

Book Liberation through Reconciliation

Download or read book Liberation through Reconciliation written by O. Ernesto Valiente and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past one hundred years alone, more than 200 million people have been killed as a consequence of systematic repression, political revolutions, or ethnic or religious war. The legacy of such violence lingers long after the immediate conflict. Drawing on the author’s experiences of his native El Salvador, Liberation through Reconciliation builds on Jon Sobrino’s thought to construct a Christian spirituality and theology of reconciliation that overcomes conflict by attending to the demands of truth, justice, and forgiveness.

Book The Future of Theology

  • Author : Miroslav Volf
  • Publisher : Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
  • Release : 1996
  • ISBN : 9780802849533
  • Pages : 324 pages

Download or read book The Future of Theology written by Miroslav Volf and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Perhaps no other theologian of the second half of this century has shaped theology so profoundly as has Jürgen Moltmann. He appeared on the world theological scene with his Theology of Hope (1964) and took most of its capitals by storm. His subsequent works have kept him at the forefront of the modern theological enterprise, and the power of his vision and the originality of his method have inspired a host of new theologians. In terms of fecundity, Moltmann's opus remains unmatched among his generation of theologians. More than 130 dissertations written so far on his thought -- most of them in the past decade -- testify eloquently to its continued attractiveness. In honor of Moltmann's 70th birthday, twenty-six of the world's leading theologians -- his friends, colleagues, interlocutors, and former students -- have contributed to this volume on the future of theology. Moltmann himself has always sought to be both contemporary and future-oriented: his theology can be viewed as an exercise not only from the perspective of God's future but also toward a new human future. Thus, a book on the future of theology takes up an aspect of "his" theme and "his" concern. Yet this volume also makes a significant contribution to theology in its own right, seeking as it does to address the present crisis of theology. As Miroslav Volf writes in his introduction, "On the threshold of the third millennium, the presumed queen of sciences has grown old and feeble, unable to see that what she thinks is her throne is just an ordinary chair, uncertain about what her territories are, and confused about how to rule in the realms she thinks are hers, seeking advice from a quarrelsome chorus of counselors each of whom thinks himself the king, and ending up with a divided, even schizophrenic, mind." The essays in this volume attempt to revitalize theology as it confronts a difficult future. Despite the formidable obstacles that threaten the very survival of theology in the next century -- religious and cultural plurality; the marginalization of theology in public discourse; increasing abstraction in the practice of theology; pressing issues of gender, race, poverty, and ecology; the seemingly archaic voice of theology in post- Christian societies -- the contributors to this volume all believe in the future of theology as a vibrant discipline. The Future of Theology is organized in three parts. "Challenges" deals with the external or internal problems that theology is facing. "Perspectives" offers proposals on how to meet the challenges. "Themes" concentrates on various issues that need special attention today. Together, these essays succeed in setting the theological agenda for the future of theology, and thereby serve as a fitting tribute to this volume's esteemed honoree.

  • Pages : 309 pages

Download or read book Formae mortis written by Francisco Marco Simón and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2009 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este volumen contiene las actas de las ponencias presentadas al IV Coloquio Internacional de Historia Antigua Universidad de Zaragoza, celebrado los días 4 y 5 de junio de 2007. Como las ediciones anteriores, de periodicidad bianual, esta reunión científica ha resultado de la fructífera colaboración entre el Centro para el Estudio de la Interdependencia Provincial en la Antigüedad Clásica (CEIPAC) de la Universidad de Barcelona y el Área de Historia Antigua del Departamento de Ciencias de la Antigüedad de la Universidad de Zaragoza. .El tema escogido para el coloquio que ahora ve la luz fue “Formae Mortis: El tránsito de la vida a la muerte en las sociedades antiguas”. Nuestro objetivo, al invitar a especialistas españoles y extranjeros a llevar a cabo una reflexión conjunta, era ejemplificar las diversas modalidades, intenciones o representaciones de esa transición -esencial como ninguna por suprema e ineluctable- partiendo de un presupuesto metodológico: el de considerar la muerte como un proceso, como un espacio/tiempo de liminalidad, mas que como un suceso.

Book Hadrian and the Christians

Download or read book Hadrian and the Christians written by Marco Rizzi and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Century occupies a central place in the development of ancient Christianity. The aim of the book is to examine how in the cultural, social, and religious efflorescence of the Second Century,to be witnessed inphenomena such as the Second Sophistic, Christianity found a peculiar way of integrating into the more general transformation of the Empire and how this allowed the emerging religion to establish and flourish in Graeco-Roman society. Hadrian’s reign was the starting point ofthat process and opened new possibilities of self-definition and external self-presentation to Christianity, as well asto other social and religious agencies. Differently from Judaism, however, Christianity fully seized the opportunity,thus gaining an increasing place in Graeco-Roman society, which ultimately led to the first Christian peace under the Severan emperors. The point at issue is examined from a multi-disciplinary perspective (including archaeology, cultural, religious, and political history) to challenge well-established, but no longer satisfactory, historical and hermeneutical paradigms. The contributors aim to examine institutional issues and sociocultural processes in their different aspects, as they were made possibleon Hadrian’s initiative andresulted inthemerge of early Christianityinto the Roman Empire.

Book War Or Words

Book excerpt: Desiring to explore ways to quell hostility, reduce violence, and diminish the logic of terrorism, during the 2002-2003 academic year, Stetson University in DeLand, Florida hosted a series of lectures and discussions entitled Peace. Violence, and Religion. Musser and Sutherland designed this program, and the majority of the ten essays in this volume were delivered as public lectures in this series.

Book Viajeros  peregrinos y aventureros en el mundo antiguo

Download or read book Viajeros peregrinos y aventureros en el mundo antiguo written by Francisco Marco Simón and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2010 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En su novela El cielo protector, Paul Bowles distingue entre el turista y el viajero. Mientras el turista siempre sabe cuándo y cómo volverá a su hogar, el viajero se lanza a la aventura sin conocer exactamente ni su ruta ni siquiera si algún día regresará a su casa. En el mundo antiguo, el viaje tenía siempre un punto de descubrimiento, un componente intrínseco de aventura motivada por las condiciones de los desplazamientos y, muchas veces, por el desconocimiento de los lugares a los que el viajero pretendía arribar. El viaje en la Antigüedad fue el tema del que se ocupó el V Coloquio Internacional de Historia Antigua Universidad de Zaragoza, que se celebró entre los días 4 y 6 de junio de 2009 en la Biblioteca de Humanidades María Moliner de la Universidad de Zaragoza bajo el título Viajeros, peregrinos y aventureros en el mundo antiguo. En él participaron estudiosos procedentes de diversas universidades y centros de investigación españoles y extranjeros: Münster (Alemania), Ohio (Estados Unidos), Foggia (Italia), CSIC de Roma, Málaga, Vitoria, Salamanca, Madrid, Alcalá de Henares, Barcelona y Zaragoza. Desde diversas perspectivas todos ellos abordaron el tema del viaje y el viajero en la Antigüedad, y este volumen recoge las comunicaciones presentadas durante el coloquio, celebrado como viene siendo habitual con carácter bienal.
