Book excerpt: A l'orée du troisième millénaire, la cause de la religion est loin d'être réglée. Certes, les religions ont remarquablement résisté aux annonces de disparition qui avaient inspiré des théories du XIXe siècle et justifié nombre de persécutions au cours du XXe. Mais les tentations, partout, du fondamentalisme ainsi que l'expansion du phénomène sectaire sont des symptômes de maladie plutôt que des signes de santé. La tendance est aux religiosités vagues, sans institutions, foncièrement individualistes, centrées sur la réalisation de soi, sur la guérison du mal-être psychique ou physique. Pour sa part, en cette fin de siècle, le christianisme se trouve souvent discrédité dans l'univers occidental. Dans l'Eglise catholique en particulier, les promesses de réforme intellectuelle et spirituelle du concile Vatican II, il y a trente ans, n'ont été que partiellement tenues. D'où peut venir l'espérance ? Pour Paul Valadier, il faut considérer les choses de manière plus distanciée pour entrevoir un avenir à la religion, en particulier à la religion chrétienne. D'un côté, tout donne à penser que s'ouvre une ère intellectuelle moins systématiquement hostile à la croyance religieuse. Une " revanche de Dieu " autant qu'un affaissement de la raison dans le nihilisme sont improbables ; au contraire, des ponts et des synergies inédits sont possibles entre foi et raison contre l'inhumanité qui guette. De l'autre côté, un christianisme qui conjuguerait avec rigueur culte à Dieu et service d'autrui trouverait sa véritable identité et apporterait une contribution éminente à l'humanité.

Download or read book Can the West Be Converted written by Jean-Georges Gantenbein and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than reconsidering contemporary culture in light of secularization, much of the western church operates with a degree of nostalgia. She has yet to fully embrace prospective, innovative models for what form her task might take in some of Christianity’s historic heartlands. Amidst rapidly declining church membership, contextualizing the Gospel for the contemporary West is an urgent task for churches and Christians living in this context. This book seeks an interdisciplinary, international, and ecumenical response to this challenge, uniting historical, sociological, theological, and missiological perspectives. Benefiting from recent studies in sociology of religion, Dr. Gantenbein offers several detailed contextual case studies before establishing correlations between western cultural-religious characteristics and corresponding theological affirmations. This study includes several unexpected dimensions, including the development of a theological aesthetic in tension with the typically Word-alone tradition of Protestantism; a constructive reading of the book of Revelation as a source for contemporary aesthetic missiology; reflections on a soteriology for the postmodern era; and a proposal for an anonymous ecclesiology within a European context where churches are viewed with growing suspicion. With rare perspicacity, Gantenbein’s study creatively calls churches to apply renewed intellectual rigor in faithfulness to their common purpose.
Download or read book Paul and Virtue Ethics written by Daniel J Harrington and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Two prestigious scholars . . . serve up a gourmet banquet that blends the flavors of scripture and ethics without losing the distinctive tastes of each.” —Richard M. Gula, professor of moral theology, Franciscan School of Theology/Graduate Theological Union In Paul and Virtue Ethics, Daniel Harrington and James Keenan build upon their successful collaboration Jesus and Virtue Ethics to discuss the apostle Paul's teachings as a guide to interpret theology and ethics today. Examining Paul's writings, the authors investigate what they teach about the basic questions of virtue ethics: Who am I? Who do I want to become? And how do I get there? Their intent is not to provide stringent rules, but to awaken discovery and encourage dialogue. The book first considers the concept of virtue ethics, an approach to ethics that emphasizes moral character, and Paul’s ethics in particular. Next, the authors focus on the virtues of faith, love/charity, and hope as treated by Paul and Thomas Aquinas. Closing the book with reflections on the roles of other virtues (and vices) in individual and communal Christian life, the authors discuss various issues in social ethics and sexual morality as they are dealt with in Paul and in Christian virtue ethics today. “One could not ask for better guides [than] Harrington and Keenan.” ―Theological Studies “Bringing the moral teaching of Paul and contemporary virtue ethics into dialogue with each other, Harrington and Keenan have done what others have only spoken about.” —Frank J. Matera, The Andrew-Kelly-Ryan Professor of Biblical Studies, The Catholic University of America “[A] deeply learned yet broadly accessible volume. . . . [a] perfect book for an introductory course in theological ethics.” —M. Cathleen Kaveny, Darald and Juliet Libby Professor of Law and Theology, Boston College
Download or read book Orthodoxy Process and Product written by Mathijs Lamberigts and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2002-2008, three research groups from the departments of systematic theology and church history at the Faculty of Theology, K.U.Leuven, joined forces in an interdisciplinary project, entitled "Orthodoxy: Process and Product". The aim of the project was a "church-historical and systematic-theological study of the determination of truth in church and theology". The present volume contains contributions from all senior members of the project research group. The contributions are the result of a research conference in 2006, in which both the question of the nature of truth as such, and the process of determination of theological truth was approached from many different angles. Thus, questions from philosophy, systematic theology and history of church and theology are discussed, including such themes as the implications of various philosophical theories of truth for theology, the question of religious pluralism and its ramifications for theological truth-claims, theological truth claims in the thought of Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine, John Driedo, and at the Second Vatican Council. In addition, the meta-question of the relationship between the historical and the systematic aspects of theological truth and the way in which the historical and systematic theological disciplines interact play an important role in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici le livre que Benoît XVI a voulu faire publier après sa mort. Dans les années qui ont suivi le Concile Vatican II, le livre La foi chrétienne hier et aujourd'hui a fait connaître au grand public un jeune théologien allemand. Aujourd'hui, à la fin de sa vie et en tant que pape émérite, Benoît XVI a voulu léguer cet ouvrage à l'humanité entière pour partager ses dernières réflexions sur des thèmes fondamentaux de la religion chrétienne. Ce volume est presque un testament spirituel, dicté par la sagesse du coeur d'un maître toujours attentif aux attentes et aux espoirs des fidèles. Pendant ses années au monastère Mater Ecclesiae au Vatican, sa présence discrète et sa prière ont été un soutien important pour la vie de l'Église. De là, il observait avec bienveillance la nature, miroir de l'amour de Dieu Créateur, de qui nous venons et vers qui nous sommes dirigés. De là, il s'est tourné vers son pays d'origine, l'Allemagne, vers l'Italie où il a passé une grande partie de sa vie, vers la France qui l'a accueilli dans son Académie, vers l'Europe entière. À ces pays, le pape émérite confi e, d'une voix faible mais passionnée, sa demande de ne pas renoncer à l'héritage chrétien, qui est un patrimoine précieux pour toute l'humanité. De son vivant, Benoît XVI n'a pas toujours été compris. Personne, cependant, n'a pu nier la lucidité de sa pensée et la force de ses arguments, que ce dernier ouvrage rassemble avec brio.

Download or read book Une nouvelle alliance written by Charles Hüssy and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le monde avance vers un futur difficile. Au-delà des ennuis extrêmement graves et sérieux que connaîtront par notre faute nos descendants, se profilera une attente du Créateur conduisant le monde à la conversion. Face à une modernité qui s'est distancée du religieux, il s'impose de repenser les visées chrétiennes, d'adopter un langage plus audible en lien avec le monde actuel et relire le dévoilement opéré dans le livre de l'Apocalypse. Il est nécessaire que l'Église catholique s'extraie de son cléricalisme, intègre dans son message les sciences humaines, adopte des réformes réclamées par les laïcs. Il est nécessaire qu'elle ne se considère plus comme un conservatoire des vérités évangéliques, mais comme une force d'impulsion, qui va réhabiliter les femmes et admettre enfin des hommes ou des femmes mariés aux ministères ordonnés. Aujourd'hui, il importe de proclamer une foi nouvelle et de délivrer un message d'ouverture et d'unité.
