Christianity, Empire and the Spirit
In Christianity, Empire and The Spirit, Néstor Medina uncovers the cultural processes that play a crucial role in influencing how people understand reality, express the Christian faith, and think about God. He uses decolonial thinking, Latina/o theology, and Pentecostal theology to show how the cultural dimension is a central feature in the biblical text; was the force that coopted Christianity from the imperial era of Constantine onwards; and undergirded Western European colonialism and the missionary project. He engages with Protestant and Catholic articulations on “culture” and demonstrates how most theologians perpetuate Eurocentric frames for considering the relation between Christianity and the cultural dimension. Alternatively, he offers a theological proposal that recognizes the Spirit at work in the phenomena of cultures.
Intercambio
Das Stipendienwerk Lateinamerika-Deutschland e.V. wurde vor 40 Jahren von Bernhard Welte und Peter Hünermann gegründet. Ziel der Arbeit des Stipendienwerkes ist die Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Austausches zwischen Deutschland und Lateinamerika auf den Feldern von Theologie, Philosophie, Pädagogik und Sozialwissenschaften. En el presente anuario se publican resultados de la investigación realizada por filósofos, teólogos, sociólogos y pedagogos latinoamericanos. Es interesante cómo estos aportes reflejan los desarrollos de la filosofía y teología latinoamericanas. La opción de la Iglesia latinoamericana por los pobres, los jóvenes y las personas excluidas de los procesos de participación social se continúa aquí en forma creativa.
Intercultural Theology
Recent years have seen a paradigm shift in Christian self-understanding. In place of the eurocentric model of »Christendom«, a new understanding is emerging of Christianity as a world movement with considerable cultural variety. Concomitant with this changing self-perception, a new theological discipline begins to take shape which analyzes the inter- and transcultural character and performance of global Christianity: Intercultural Theology. Judith Gruber discusses this nascent theological approach in two parts. She first gives a critical analysis of its historical development – in the first part of the book, two theological sub-disciplines of particular relevance are analysed: (1) missio...
Philosophy and Literature in Latin America
Philosophy and Literature in Latin America presents a unique and original view of the current state of development in Latin America of two disciplines that are at the core of the humanities. Divided into two parts, each section explores the contributions of distinguished American and Latin American experts and authors. The section on literature includes the literary activities of Latin Americans working in the United States, an area in which very little research has been demonstrated and, for that reason, will add an interesting new dimension to the field of Latin American studies.
