The Holy Spirit and Christian Formation
This volume discusses the importance of a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach to Christian formation based upon godly love and the imago Dei (Latin, image of God). Grounded biblically and theologically, this interdisciplinary collection offers perspectives drawn from spirituality, ethics, philosophy, psychology, counselling, ecclesiology, physical health sciences, and leadership studies. Contributors address spiritual, emotional, and psychological formation, while highlighting how suffering has the potential to draw one closer to God and others. The book also details vocational development, appropriate stewardship of the physical body, and the ways in which the Eucharist sacramentally contributes to the process of formation. The book concludes with a call for further exploration of additional research trajectories, not the least of which is how Christian formation contributes to the missio Dei, the mission of God.
Humanity in God's Image
A study which suggests human beings are created in the image of an invisible God, an idea that can only be conceptualized in the imagination.
Mission as Accompaniment
Mechanistic dehumanization occurs when human beings are objectified and exploited as a means to an end, comparable to expendable components of a machine. This misconstruction of human value is a source and sustainer of overproduction, an excess of consumption, and the pursuit of unrestrained economic growth, damaging both people and the planet. Can the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Global Mission respond to mechanistic dehumanization through mission as accompaniment? The notion of mission as accompaniment, which emerges from liberation theology and development methodology, promotes solidarity among church companions that embodies interdependence and mutuality. Grounded in the...
The Future of Christology
The Future of Christology addresses the questions that Christology currently faces and/or will face in the future in 12 topics. The book consists of two parts. In the first part Kim deals with five topics related to traditional Christology, while in the second part he wrestles with seven topics related to issues of Christology. The twenty-first century is a challenging time for Christianity. Many in our age are asking what Jesus Christ means in various dimensions of history, culture, nature, and even beyond the Earth. Changes in values, worldviews, and views of the universe are forming a new zeitgeist. Dong-Kun Kim argues that ways of understanding Christ should change accordingly, for a Chr...
Will All be Saved?
This book provides a survey and critical assessment of the doctrine of universal salvation in contemporary western theology within the context of the historic development of the doctrine.
The Imago Dei as the Imago Trinitatis
Jürgen Moltmann's Doctrine of the Image of God examines the doctrine of the Image of God in the interpretation of contemporary theologian Jürgen Moltmann. A Reformed theologian from Germany, Moltmann espouses the doctrine in a way that creates a blurring of the Creator-creation distinction. This work identifies the problem with Moltmann's formulation of the doctrine of the image of God as stemming from Moltmann's rejection of classical theism or monotheism. He replaces it with the notion of transcendental immanence, together with Trinitarian pantheism, accentuated by means of Hegelian dialectics in alignment with Eastern Orthodox perspectives of the Trinity. Moltmann, therefore, makes the ...
Pastoral Care Orang Sakit
Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers menegaskan, “Pastoral care untuk orang sakit terdiri atas bantuan spiritual dan bantuan religius. Inilah hak fundamental bagi si sakit dan merupakan kewajiban bagi Gereja (bdk. Matius 10:9; Lukas 9:2). Kalau kita tidak menyediakannya, atau menjadikan hanya pilihan saja, atau tidak menggiatkannya, atau justru merintanginya, kita sudah melanggar hak tersebut dan melalaikan kewajiban tersebut” (New Charter for Healthcare Worker no. 135). Dinyatakan juga, “Gereja selalu memandang bahwa pelayanan kepada mereka yang sakit adalah bagian integral dari misi Gereja dengan mengombinasikan pewartaan kabar baik dengan membantu dan me...

Featuring ten new case studies, the latest edition continues to spotlight some of the most controversial, thought-provoking issues in ethics today.
