O pensamento de Andrés Torres Queiruga é permeado pela busca incessante do sentido histórico das ideias teológicas. Busca que se traduz em retorno obediente à Tradição para de novo redizê-la, na liberdade e no diálogo com a cultura, nas categorias deste tempo. A presente obra é mais uma amostra disso. Em seu propósito de repensar o mal, expõe uma visão que diferencia uma "via curta" (a base verdadeira da visão tradicional, apoiada na confiança) e uma "via longa" (que distingue ponerologia, pisteodiceia e teodiceia propriamente dita); insiste na "lógica do apesar de" diante de qualquer finalismo do mal; responde à dificuldade do "mal excessivo" ou possibilidade de salvação ...

Latin American theology is associated with liberation, basic Christian communities, primacy of praxis and option for the poor. The present volume shows that Latin American theologians added new themes to the previous ones: religious pluralism, inter-religious dialogue and macro-ecumenism. It is the fruit of a program of the Theological Commission of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians (EATWOT) in Latin America, to work out a liberating theology of religions.
La preghiera ci costringe a fare chiarezza sul Dio in cui crediamo. L’immagine di un’energia, di una causa lontana che sta all’origine dell’universo, si dissolve nel momento in cui si cerca un Dio da pregare. L’immagine del “signore onnipotente dei cieli e della terra”, che dal suo “al di là” controlla ciò che accade tra noi e interviene, solleva domande alla luce dell’esperienza: perché sembra ascoltare solo la preghiera di alcuni e di molti altri no? Da che cosa dipende l’efficacia della preghiera? Suonano strane le parole di Gesù: «pregate e vi sarà dato», perché parlano di un Dio che non pretende nessuna condizione previa da parte di colui che prega, né tan...
A key tenet of Christian faith is that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is a unique death by which the powers of death in the world have been conquered, so that Christian life in the Spirit is marked by the promise and hope of 'new life' already anticipated in the community of baptized believers. Notwithstanding this basic tenet regarding the Christian life as a participation in the redemptive death of Jesus Christ, theology in the past, as well as much contemporary theology, tends to assign no salvific significance to the event of our own death, focusing instead on death in negative terms as the wages of sin. This work is a significant retort to theological neglect, both Catholic and Protest...
This volume addresses issues of moral pluralism and polarization by drawing attention to the transcendent character of the good. It probes the history of Christian theology and moral philosophy to investigate the value of this idea and then relates it to contemporary moral issues. The good is transcendent in that it goes beyond concrete goods, things, acts, or individual preferences. It functions as the pole of a compass that helps orient our moral life. This volume explores the critical tension between the transcendent good and its concrete embodiments in the world through concepts like conscience, natural and divine law, virtue, and grace. The chapters are divided into three parts. Part I ...
This book gives a persuasive answer to the need for public theology today. Rudolf von Sinner can draw from a rich basis of scholarship and experience related to the topic of public theology. His clear awareness of the contextuality of public theology is the reason for his repeated assurance in this book that we cannot speak about "public theology" but always only of "a" public theology. At the same time it is very clear for him that there is also an "intercontextuality". One of the great strengths of this book is its embeddedness into an international discourse on public theology, with a special emphasis on the South-South exchange. It is a contribution to public theology scholarship in its best sense. I proudly welcome its publication in our series. (Bishop Prof. Dr Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Evangelical Church in Germany}

The influence of religion on culture is as strong as ever, but the shape of that influence is unique in today's pluralistic society. In Christianity in the Modern World, Ambrose Mong examines critically themes of religious commitment and tolerance, attitudes towards other religions, and the sociological aspects of religion and inter-religious dialogue. He provides an overview of factors that challenge traditional religion, from the relationship between monotheistic and polytheistic beliefs to the history of tolerance and intolerance in the church and the future of secularism. Following the global ethics formulated by the late Hans Kung, Mong also engages with the dialogue between Jurgen Habermas and Joseph Ratzinger to provide an extensive defence of the importance of inter-religious dialogue, with particular relevance to multiple religious belonging in the Asian context. Scholars of world religions will find Mong's analysis compelling, while students will find his introduction to the historical dialectics underlying many of today's tensions illuminating.
