This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Muthiah believes a deepened theology of the priesthood of all believers is essential for answering the crucial questions of what shape the church should take in the twenty-first century, and how this theological query relates to the lived experiences of congregations. Emerging churches, which tend to develop vibrant practices of the priesthood of all believers, need to develop more fully their ecclesiological underpinnings, while historic churches, with a well-developed theology of the priesthood of all believers, need a renewed vigor to allow this theology to shape their congregational lives. With recourse to relevant New Testament texts and theological conversations, The Priesthood of All Believers in the Twenty-First Cenutry argues for a fresh understanding and embodiment of the priesthood of all believers by setting ecclesiology, postmodern culture, and congregational practices in dialogue. Elements of the discussion include ecumenical and Free church perspectives, Trinitarian correspondence, postmodern social structures, the relevance of Alasdair McIntyre's social practices for congregations, and forms of congregational leadership.

Download or read book Liberation Theology written by Kenneth Dantzler Corbin and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores liberation theology, a fusion of Christian theology and socio-economic theory, which stresses "Social concern for the poor and political liberation of oppressed peoples." Liberation theology became Latin American theologians' political practice, such as Gustavo Gutiérrez, Leonardo Boff, and Jesuits Juan Luis Seg and Jesuits Juan Luis Seg in the 1960s after the Second Vatican Council. In 1968 and shortly afterward, General Pedro Arrupe selected "Justice in the World" for the World Synod of Catholic Bishops 1971. liberation theologies have formed in other areas of the globe, such as the U.S. and South Africa black theology, Palestinian liberation theology, India's Dalit theology, and South Korea's Minjung theology. Although the Medellín text is not a document of liberation theology, it laid the foundations for most of it, and liberation theology developed rapidly in the Latin American Catholic Church after it was written. Robin Nagle argues that the theology of liberation is inadequate for genuine social reform. Anthropologist Manuel Vasquez argues that the theology of liberation introduced by CEBs produces a double impact since it gives the theological rationale for the opposition and acts to coordinate resistance. In the intellectual fusion between liberation theology and Sandinismo, the influence of liberation theologians within the FSLN regime, and the interrelated support for liberation theology and the FSLN within the Nicaraguan population, ranging from metropolitan people to eccentric residents, this partnership, which reached its height in the early years of FSLN rule following the Nicaraguan Revolution, is observed. Voices of black liberation theology and female liberation theology are also found more or less around the same period as the original Latin American liberation theology publications. Black theology aims to free communities of color from different political, societal, economic, and theological subjugation and sees Christian theology as a salvation theology-"a rational study of the being of God in the world considering the existential situation of an oppressed community, relating the forces of liberation to the essence of the Gospel, which is Jesus Christ," writes Jam.

Download or read book Liberation Theology in the Philippines written by Kathleen Nadeau and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-10-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberation Theology in the Philippines: Faith in a Revolution studies the interrelationship of international development policies and local social and economic structures in the Philippines. This ethnography demonstrates that the application of conventional development paradigms to the situation overlooks the human suffering and displacement experienced by the people for whom the policies are supposed to help. By contrast, the Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) movement offers an alternative strategy for development that aims to build a more just and community-oriented society, while promoting sustainable development. The study begins with an historical analysis of the relationship between liberation theology, the Catholic Church, and the nationalist struggle. The remaining chapters look at the real experiences of people living and working in the BECs, as they struggle against some of the negative impacts of traditional approaches to development. In addition, the author illustrates how BECs can fail when environmental and social factors clash with a community's attempts at development, and highlights the theology and religious aspects of the BEC movement. This unique contribution to the study of liberation theology and development will be of interest to scholars, students, and professionals working with development agencies and religious organizations.

Download or read book Theology for a Liberating Church written by Alfred T. Hennelly and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom is a fundamental Christian theological category, as much a challenge to construct a new way of seeing oneself and others as it is an announcement of what Christ has already done for us in his death and resurrection. Liberation theology is, most simply, the effort to spell out what such freedom means for Christians in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book has as its principle premise the conviction that if we are to construct a North American liberation theology we must begin listening to and understanding Latin American theology not so much as a model to be slavishly followed but as a challenge to our own cultural, political, and even religious assumptions. The focus thus is not so much on the theoretical meaning of Christian freedom but on its practice, and more exactly its praxis, that is to say the dialectic between theory and practice. After focusing on the creation and development of liberating theological methods and sources and, above all, the revitalization and renewal of structures that will contribute to the development of a liberated and liberating church, Fr. Hennelly ends with an analysis of the most recent and the most important vatican document on liberation theology, The Instruction of Christian Freedom and Liberation, which he sees as an acknowledgement by the universal church that the theme of liberation is central to the meaning of Christian theology.
