Download or read book Theologie nach dem Cultural Turn written by Judith Gruber and published by Kohlhammer Verlag. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wie lässt sich der christliche Einheits- und Universalitätsanspruch angesichts der faktischen Pluralität partikularer Theologien normativ begründen? Das Projekt, Theologie interkulturell zu betreiben, sucht Antworten auf diese Frage: mit der fundamentaltheologischen Verhältnisbestimmung von der Partikularität und Universalität des Evangeliums, von Einheit und Differenzen in Theologien, von Normativität und Kontingenz christlicher Gottesreden. Gruber stellt zunächst in historischen Skizzen den Weg zur interkulturellen Theologie dar, um dann eine fundamentaltheologische Interpretation im Rahmen einer Theologie nach dem Cultural Turn zu entwerfen: Interkulturalität, postkolonial als Raum der Differenz und Raum der Absenz entworfen, wird zu einer theologischen Ressource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gegenwärtig sind die Gottesfrage und ihre zuweilen zerstörerischen Folgen so konflikthaft geworden, dass bisweilen die Abschaffung Gottes zugunsten eines friedlicheren Zusammenlebens gefordert wird. So ist die "Rede von Gott" ein Themenfeld, das die Internationale Gesellschaft für interkulturelle Theologie und Studium der Religionen (ISRIT) diskutiert und dabei Expertinnen und Experten aus diversen Fachgebieten (Theologie, Psychologie, Physik etc.) mit historischen wie aktuellen Implikationen der Gottesproblematik aus interdisziplinären und interkulturellen Perspektiven zu Wort kommen lässt. In our present time, talking about God with reference to its at times destructive consequences has become so much conflictive that sometimes even the abolition of God to the advantage of a more peaceful mutual co-existence is demanded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Interkulturelle Philosophie ist, und worin ihr besonderer Beitrag zur Philosophie im ganzen bestehen kann, das kann sich allein in konkreten Ausarbeitungen erweisen. Der vorliegende Band repräsentiert eine breitgefächerte Auswahl sowohl der unterschiedlichen Ansatzpunkte, von denen interkulturelles Philosophieren ausgeht, als auch der diversen Forschungsgebiete innerhalb der Philosophie, die durch interkulturelle Fragestellungen angesprochen sind. Die Vielfalt der historischen und systematischen Zugangsweisen reflektiert die Überzeugung, daß Interkulturelle Philosophie kein in sich geschlossenes Lehrgebäude ist und ein solches auch nicht werden kann, sondern interkulturelles Philosophieren eine bestimmte Einstellung und eine Haltung darbietet, die auf der grundlegenden Annahme beruht, daß die letzte philosophische Einsicht, die Wahrheit im Singular, von niemandem allein erlangt worden ist und auch nicht erlangt werden kann.

Download or read book Intercultural Theology written by Judith Gruber and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a paradigm shift in Christian self-understanding. In place of the eurocentric model of »Christendom«, a new understanding is emerging of Christianity as a world movement with considerable cultural variety. Concomitant with this changing self-perception, a new theological discipline begins to take shape which analyzes the inter- and transcultural character and performance of global Christianity: Intercultural Theology. Judith Gruber discusses this nascent theological approach in two parts. She first gives a critical analysis of its historical development – in the first part of the book, two theological sub-disciplines of particular relevance are analysed: (1) missiology and its reflection on the encounter of Western Christianity with other cultures in the context of colonialism; (2) contextual theologies which focus on the particularity and dignity of the diverse cultural contexts of theological practice, but fail to sufficiently integrate the universal dimension of Christianity into their theological reflections. Secondly, this study offers a constructive theological approach to intercultural theology. It does that by bringing systematic theology into conversation with cultural studies. This interdisciplinary approach adds significant complexity to existing reflections on Intercultural Theology: Re-reading the theological history of Christianity within the critical framework of cultural theories exposes a host of disparate and conflictive Christianities underneath its dominant master narrative, and, moreover, it no longer allows a recourse to essentialist concepts of Christian identity, with which previous approaches to Intercultural Theology have mitigated this unsettling cultural plurality of Christianity: After the »Cultural Turn«, which has made a metaphysical epistemology untenable, new ways for thinking the unity and universality of Christianity have to be paved. The book draws on Paul Ricoeur's and Michel Foucault's concept of the event and on Michel deCerteau's proposal of a »Weak Christianity« in order to develop such a post-metaphysical framework, which allows to conceive of the unity and universality of Christianity without concealing its cultural plurality and contingency.

There is a well-known ongoing process of secularization in the Western world. Is there also a return of religion? And what does the fate of religion mean for an understanding of the Christian faith? These are topics of this book. The articles originate from the actual fields of research of an interdisciplinary group of scholars, who took part in a symposium held in Bergen Nov. 2019. The contributions relate to specific contexts in the modern history of religion from the perspective of religious studies, theology, philosophy and sociology.

Download or read book Resilient Religion Resilience and Heartbreaking Adversity written by LIT Verlag and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A resilience theory on religion needs to answer four questions. What defines the kind of adversity which is addressed in religion? What is characteristic for processes of resilience in religion? What defines resilient religion as outcome? Which logic of inference (epistemology) based on our beliefs and experiences about reality binds these three elements together? The book starts with mapping the field of resilience theory on religion by addressing all four questions. The need for thinking about Christian resilience and the God symbol is addressed, and the need to be "explicitly contextual" with regard to resilience in South Africa. Next three types practices of religious acting are related to experiences of resilience, namely preaching, narrating and discerning. In the last chapters the focus is on the way stories help to express feelings of experiences of crises, tragedy, and trauma. But also how stories can help heal the broken heart. Prof Chris A.M. Hermans is extraordinary professor in practical theology and missiology at the University of the Free State (South Africa). He is emeritus professor in pastoral theology at Radboud University (the Netherlands).and emeritus professor in empirical study of religion as Radboud University (the Netherlands). Prof. Kobus (W.J.) Schoeman is professor of practical theology at the University of the Free State (South Africa).

Download or read book Religion and Difference written by Trygve Wyller and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In democracies of advanced plurality, religion is a contested and powerful part of public discussions and practices. Today, religious difference is articulated and negotiated controversially in interaction with other spheres of society. While there are clear tendencies of increasing polarization, we also encounter moments of acknowledgement and appreciation of plurality. Facing these complexities and challenges of our time, this volume scrutinizes contested practices where religious difference matters. Committed to an interdisciplinary exchange between theology, the study of religion and political philosophy, this volume is grounded in the attention for concrete practices and phenomena as well as the conviction that difference is both a productive concept and an enriching experience. Exploring practices of shared places, sexuality, justice and the commitment to the human being in education, migration and violent conflicts, the volume as a whole contributes to the analysis of contested social and political practices in order to investigate the significance and role of religion in contemporary societies, and thus it further develops theoretical reflection about religion in contemporary research.

Download or read book Was ist Wahrheit anderes als ein Leben f r eine Idee written by Hermann Deuser and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existenzdenken und Pragmatismus bezeichnen zwei Orientierungszentren der Philosophie seit dem 19. Jahrhundert, deren Differenz und Zusammenhang erst heute wirklich bewusst werden. Die Vorrangigkeit der Aufgabe des Existierens eines einzelnen Menschen und das naturwissenschaftlich-pragmatische Methodenbewusstsein haben ihre Gemeinsamkeit in der Entdeckung und Verteidigung der kreativen Lebens-, Entscheidungs- und Handlungssituation allen Verstehens. Hinzu kommt die parallel entwickelte Kritik idealistischer wie materialistischer Metaphysik der europäischen Denktradition, allerdings in der unübersehbaren Tendenz einer Philosophie des Geistes, die zu einer allgemeinen - und insofern in neuem Sinn durchaus metaphysischen - Begründung von Religionstheorie und Theologie in der Lage ist. Charles S. Peirce' kategoriale Semiotik liefert die zeitgemäßen Denkbedingungen, um sowohl der Eigenständigkeit der Religiosität wie ihrer wissenschaftlichen Darstellungsfähigkeit entsprechen zu können. Die hier vorgelegten Aufsätze aus dreißig Jahren sind einerseits auf bestimmte Phasen der Kierkegaard-Rezeption bezogen, andererseits auf Detailstudien zu systematisch-theologischen und religionsphilosophischen Texten, Werken, Methodenfragen, und auf Konfliktfelder in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion (darunter William James' Religionsauffassung, Paul Tillichs Symbolbegriff, Kierkegaards Christologie, Vergleichspunkte zu Schleiermacher, Thomas Manns Mythosbegriff, Semiotik, Trinität, Kontingenz und Evolution). Im Ganzen entsteht das Bild eines kreativen Einflussraumes existentieller und wissenschaftlicher Wahrheit, in der sich wirkliches Leben und religiöse Idealität des Geistes verbinden.

Download or read book The Invention of Religion written by Jan Assmann and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking account of how the Book of Exodus shaped fundamental aspects of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam The Book of Exodus may be the most consequential story ever told. But its spectacular moments of heaven-sent plagues and parting seas overshadow its true significance, says Jan Assmann, a leading historian of ancient religion. The story of Moses guiding the enslaved children of Israel out of captivity to become God's chosen people is the foundation of an entirely new idea of religion, one that lives on today in many of the world's faiths. First introduced in Exodus, new ideas of faith, revelation, and above all covenant transformed basic assumptions about humankind’s relationship to the divine and became the bedrock of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Download or read book Religion Space and the Environment written by Sigurd Bergmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religions often nurture important skills that help believers locate themselves in the world. Religious perceptions, practices, emotions, and beliefs are closely interwoven with the environments from which they emerge. Sigurd Bergmann's driving emphasis here is to explore religion not in relation to, but as a part of the spatiality and movement within the environment from which it arises and is nurtured.Religion, Space, and the Environment emerges from the author's experiences in different places and continents over the past decade. At the book's heart lie the questions of how space, place, and religion amalgamate and how lived space and lived religion influence each other.Bergmann explores how religion and the memory of our past impact our lives in urban spaces; how the sacred geographies in Mayan and northeast Asian lands compare to modern eco-spirituality; and how human images and practices of moving in, with, and through the land are interwoven with the processes of colonization and sacralising, and the practices of power and visions of the sacred, among other topics.

Download or read book A Historical Theology of the Hebrew Bible written by Konrad Schmid and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this meticulously researched study, Konrad Schmid offers a historical clarification of the concept of “theology.” He then examines the theologies of the three constituent parts of the Hebrew Bible—the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings— before tracing how these theological concepts developed throughout the history of ancient Israel and early Judaism. Schmid not only explores the theology of the biblical books in isolation, but he also offers unifying principles and links between the distinct units that make up the Hebrew Bible. By focusing on both the theology of the whole Hebrew Bible as well as its individual pieces, A Historical Theology of the Hebrew Bible provides a comprehensive discussion of theological work within the Hebrew Bible.
