  • - Feminist Christology and Womanist Response
    af Jacquelyn Grant
    641,95 kr.

    Christology is especially problematic for feminists. Because Jesus was undeniably male and because the Christian church claims him as the unique God-bearer, feminist christology confronts the dual tasks of explaining the significance of a male God-bearer for women and creating a christological model adequate to feminist experience. Jacquelyn Grant rehearses the development and challenges of feminist christology and argues that, because it has reflected the experience of White women predominantly, it fails to speak to the concerns of non-white and non-western women. In response to this failure, Grant proposes a womanist theology and christology that emerge from and are adequate to the reality of contemporary Black women.

  • - The Ecological Models of Rosemary Radford Ruether, Joseph Stiller, and Jurger Moltmann
    af Steven Bouma-Prediger
    536,95 kr.

    This volume examines the contributions of three contemporary theologians -- Rosemary Radford Ruether, Joseph Sittler, and Jurgen Moltmann -- to the development of Christian ecological theology. Against the charge that the Christian tradition is ecologically bankrupt, the author demonstrates the intellectual and spiritual resources available within Christianity for addressing ecological issues. Of particular interest are Ruether's doctrine of God and her emphasis on ecojustice, Sittler's cosmic Christology and reconception of the relation between nature and grace, and Motlmann's doctrine of the Holy Spirit and argument for social trinitarianism. Beyond evaluating the issues raised by Ruether, Sittler, and Moltmann, the author presents sixteen theses or desiderata for any adequate Christian ecological theology.

  • - Toward a Grammar of Religious Perception
    af Daniel Gold
    363,95 kr.

  • af Evan F. (Metadata Specialist Kuehn
    1.126,95 kr.

    Evan Kuehn argues that historiographical assumptions about twentieth-century religious thought have obscured the coherence and relevance of the Protestant theologian Ernst Troeltsch's understanding of God, history, and eschatology. Kuehn argues that an eschatological understanding of the Absolute stands at the heart of Troeltsch's theology and the problem of historicism with which it is faced. Troeltsch's theory of the Absolute is shown to be central to his views onreligion and religious ethics and provides practitioners of constructive studies in religion with important resources for engaging with sociological and historical studies.

  • - Arguments for Supralapsarian Christology
    af Edwin Chr Van Driel
    1.305,95 kr.

    This book raises in a new way a formerly central but recently neglected question in systematic theology: what is the divine motive for the incarnation? Throughout Christian history theologians have agreed that God's decision to become incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ was made necessary by humanity's fall from grace. If Adam and Eve had not sinned, the incarnation would not have happened. This position is known as "infralapsarian." In the 19th and 20thcenturies, however, some major theological figures championed a "supralapsarian" Christology, arguing that God had always intended the incarnation, independent of "the Fall." Edwin van Driel offers the first scholarly monograph to map and analyze the full range of supralapsarian arguments. He gives a thick description of each argument and its theological consequences, and evaluates the theological gains and losses inherent in each approach. Van Driel shows that each of the three ways in which God is thought to relate to all that is not God - in creation, in redemption, and in eschatological consummation - can serve as the basis for a supralapsarianargument. He illustrates this thesis with detailed case studies of the Christologies of Schleiermacher, Dorner, and Barth. He concludes that the most fruitful supralapsarian strategy is rooted in the notion of eschatological consummation, taking interpersonal interaction with God to be the goal of the incarnation.He goes on to develop his own argument along these lines, concluding in an eschatological vision in which God is visually, audibly, and tangibly present in the midst of God's people.

  • af Mark (Assistant Professor of English and Theology Bosco
    1.030,95 kr.

    Graham Greene's early books are usually described as 'Catholic Novels'. Greene's later work, by contrast, is generally regarded as falling into political and detective genres. This book argues that this is a false dichotomy created by a narrowly prescriptive understanding of the Catholic genre.

  • - Balthasar, Postmodernism, and the Catholic Imagination
    af Michael P. Murphy
    1.239,95 kr.

    A number of critics and scholars have argued for the notion of a distinctly Catholic quality or character of imagination: not a matter of doctrine or even necessarily of belief, but a sensibility, a complex of intellectual, emotional, spiritual and ethical assumptions and proclivities that proceed from Catholic belief and constitute a stance towards reality that informs imaginative expression. In this book Michael Murphy brings to bear Hans Urs von Balthasar'sperspectives on theology and literary criticism to put this concept to the test and give it greater specificity and definition. The works examined range from fiction by such authors as Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, and Jack Kerouac, to poetry from Denise Levertov and William Everson and the films ofLars von Trier.

  • - Theology and Psychoanalysis in Child Therapy
    af Dorothy W. Martyn
    437,95 kr.

    Psychotherapist Dorothy W. Martyn reverses the way in which psychoanalytic psychology and Christian theology have usually been related to one another. With few exceptions, priority has been granted to psychology: infantile needs and wishes spawn religious ideas; from one''s life experience one can proceed to an understanding of God. Tracing the therapeutic journeys of three children, Martyn finds crucial illumination in the insights of Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Klein,and others. But she sees the power that evokes emotional growth in the therapeutic relationship as deriving from motifs of Christian theology that deepen our understanding of authentic parental love.
