Download or read book Kerygmatic Hermeneutics written by Swee Sum Lam and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerygmatic Hermeneutics takes a reader at once into a concrete apprehension of God in his scriptural truth through flowing in the Spirit. With the Spirit working with Scripture, a reader navigates in a to-ing and fro-ing between the general claims of God and the patterns of his actions in the world, and the embodiment of these general claims in the concrete particularity of contemporary living. This to-ing and fro-ing shapes an embodied witness to the world. In this account, an interpretation of scriptural truth is incomplete until Christ is proclaimed in the power of the Spirit to bring life. This brings the world into an encounter with God. Kerygmatic Hermeneutics is an account of how one may make theology in the Pentecostal-charismatic tradition. This constructive theological account also yields a practice of interpretation of Scripture in a community of faith. This formulation of kerygmatic theology and its hermeneutical practice opens theology to empirical enquiry and spiritual discernment in a post-Christian western world. This account is also existentially relevant for the global south and east, especially where readers find themselves having to speak apologetically into diverse religious and spiritual practices in daily encounters.

  • Publisher : Coventry Press
  • Release : 2019-02-12
  • ISBN : 9780987643155
  • Pages : 104 pages

Download or read book Kerygma and Prophecy written by Marinella Perroni and published by Coventry Press. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pope is first of all the pastor of the Church and sign of its unity. He can be a theologian professionally, or he cannot be, as it has happened for the majority of popes. ln both cases, in his teaching as well as in the choices he makes or in the orientations he offers, his teaching and his style are imbued with a theological perspective and ask theologians to confront with them. The collection "Pope Francis' Theology", calling upon the expertise of eleven theologians from various Countries of the world, aims at showing us what theology is at the base of such incisive words and such simple gestures with which Pope Francis has made us so familiar. They are eleven easy volumes, written in a captivating way yet able to show in a rigorous way the deep roots of his thought and action. Kerygma and Prophecy tries to trace the terms of the magisterium of Pope Francis that contain a sort of real "biblical theology", that is a vision of God and of man starting from Scripture. Indeed, his teaching is expressed in an authoritative way in the documents that in daily homilies, is due to one of the fundamental dimensions of the biblical theology, the kerygmatic one

Book Ontology   The Hermeneutics of Facticity

Download or read book Ontology The Hermeneutics of Facticity written by Martin Heidegger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-08-18 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This probing analysis of the history of ontology is “of enormous significance for students of the development of Heidegger’s early thought” (Daniel O. Dahlstrom Boston University). First published in 1988, Ontology—The Hermeneutics of Facticity is the text of Heidegger’s lecture course at the University of Freiburg during the summer of 1923. In these lectures, Heidegger reviews and makes critical appropriations of the hermeneutic tradition from Plato, Aristotle, and Augustine to Schleiermacher and Dilthey. Through this critical survey, he reformulates the question of being on the basis of facticity and the everyday world. Specific themes deal with the history of ontology, the development of phenomenology and its relation to Hegelian dialectic, traditional theological and philosophical concepts of man, the present situation of philosophy, and the influences of Aristotle, Luther, Kierkegaard, and Husserl on Heidegger’s thinking. Students of Heidegger will find initial breakthroughs in his unique elaboration of the meaning of human experience and the “question of being,” which received mature expression in Being and Time.

Book Theology as Hermeneutics

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Painter
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2015-01-29
  • ISBN : 1474231675
  • Pages : 284 pages

Download or read book Theology as Hermeneutics written by John Painter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudolf Bultmann was the most significant New Testament scholar we have known in the twentieth century. This study approaches his work arguing that his theology can only be understood correctly as an interpretation of the New Testament. Naturally it is a twentieth-century interpretation involving complex hermeneutical questions. But it is the New Testament which provides the subject matter to be interpreted. Bultmann's theology, stemming from the conviction that the New Testament addresses the present age, offers important solutions to many problems for Christian theology in our materialistic, relativist, pluralistic age. The book introduces the reader to: Bultmann's theology; the problem of contemporary New Testament hermeneutics; the problems of New Testament theology; the question of the relation of New Testament theology to theology as such. It makes a necessary critique of simplistic modes of interpreting Bultmann, and shows a masterly hand in assessing his continuing significance.

Book The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Theology and Qualitative Research

Download or read book The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Theology and Qualitative Research written by Pete Ward and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-07-25 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique introduction to the developing field of Theology and Qualitative Research In recent years, a growing number of scholars within the field of theological research have adopted qualitative empirical methods. The use of qualitative research is shaping the nature of theology and redefining what it means to be a theologian. Hence, contemporary scholars who are undertaking empirical fieldwork across a range of theological subdisciplines require authoritative guidance and well-developed frameworks of practice and theory. The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Theology and Qualitative Research outlines the challenges and possibilities for theological research that engages with qualitative methods. It reflects more than 15 years of academic research within the Ecclesiology and Ethnography Network, and features an international group of scholars committed to the empirical and theological study of the Christian church. Edited by world-renowned experts, this unprecedented volume addresses the theological debates, methodological complexities, and future directions of this emerging field. Contributions from both established and emerging scholars describe key theoretical approaches, discuss how different empirical methods are used within theology, explore the links between qualitative researchand adjacent scholarly traditions, and more. The companion: Discusses how qualitative empirical work changes the practice of theology, enabling a disciplined attention to the lived social realities of Christian religion and what theologians do Introduces theoretical and methodological debates in the field, as well as central epistemological and ontological questions Presents different approaches to Theology and Qualitative research, highlighting important issues and developments in the last decades Explores how empirical insights are shaping areas such as liturgics, homiletics, youth ministry, and Christian education Includes perspectives from scholars working in disciplines other than theology The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Theology and Qualitative Research is essential reading for graduate students, postgraduates, PhD students, researchers, and scholars in Christian Ethics, Systematic Theology, Practical Theology, Contemporary Worship, and related disciplines such as Ecclesiology, Mission Studies, World Christianity, Pastoral Theology, Political Theology, Worship Studies, and all forms of contextual theology.

Book Karl Jaspers

  • Author : Dr Chris Thornhill
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2013-10-31
  • ISBN : 1136454160
  • Pages : 286 pages

Download or read book Karl Jaspers written by Dr Chris Thornhill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a new reading of the much-neglected philosophy of Karl Jaspers. By questioning the common perception of Jaspers either as a proponent of irrationalist cultural philosophy or as an early, peripheral disciple of Martin Heidegger, it re-establishes him as a central figure in modern European philosophy. Giving particular consideration to his position in epistemological, metaphysical and political debate, the author argues that Jaspers's work deserves renewed consideration in a number of important discussions, particularly in hermeneutics, anthropological reflections on religion, the critique of idealism, and debates on the end of metaphysics.
