Reclaiming Narrative for Public Theology
This book furthers the development of American public theology by arguing for the importance of narrative to a theological interpretation of the nation's social and political life. In contrast to both sectarian theologies that oppose a diverse public life and liberal theologies that have lost their distinctiveness, narrative public theology seeks an engaged yet critical role consistent with the separation of church and state and respectful of the multireligious character of the United States. Mary Doak argues for a public theology that focuses on the narrative imagination through which we envision our current circumstances and our hopes for the future. This theology sees both our national stories and our religious ones as resources that can contribute to a public and pluralistic conversation about the direction of society. Doak highlights arguments from Paul Ricoeur, Johann Baptist Metz, William Dean, Stanley Hauerwas, Franklin Gamwell, and Ronald Thiemann that can both contribute to and challenge a narrative public theology. She also proposes a model of public theology using narratives from Abraham Lincoln, Virgil Elizondo, and Delores Williams.
Pilgrim Fellowship of Faith
Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, has been the most visible member of the Catholic clergy in the world second only to Pope John Paul II. His status as the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith made him one of the most discussed churchmen in recent history. On the occasion of Ratzingers's seventy-fifth birthday, his former students selected essays, lectures, letters, and conferences that Ratzinger has written in recent years- writing that they feel best represents his position on issues of theology, the modern world, secularism, non-Christian religious, and other key topics of the Catholic Church. This book, characterized by Ratzinger's concisely reasoned style, is an invaluable resource to those who wish to understand the modern Church and the thinking of Pope Benedict XVI, as well as a treasured volume for those who are students of Ratzinger's theology.
Rethinking Christian Forgiveness
Is there such a thing as "Christian Forgiveness"? Christians speak as though there is. But what would it be? How would it differ from forgiveness as a basic human enactment? And if there is a distinctive Christian forgiveness, what might it have to say to our world today? To answer these questions, the present work traverses three distinctive intellectual landscapes--continental philosophy, Anglo-American moral philosophy, and psychology--to establish a phenomenology of forgiving before turning to contemporary Christian literature. The multilayered dialogue that ensues challenges the assumptions of contemporary approaches--secular and Christian--and invites the reader to rethink the meaning of Christian forgiveness.
Ich glaube an den Menschen ...
"Ich glaube an den Menschen" – dieses Wort des Theologen und Philosophen Romano Guardini ist heute, wenn in Europa wieder Krieg geführt und die Existenz ganzer Völker und Staaten in Frage gestellt wird, aktueller und provokanter denn je. Nicht nur der Glaube an Gott, sondern der Glaube des Menschen an sich selbst und das Vertrauen auf sein Gegenüber nimmt ab, was nicht zuletzt der kirchlichpolitischen Situation sowohl im Westen als auch im Osten geschuldet ist. Aber Guardini sagt auch: "Nur wer Gott kennt, kennt den Menschen". Der Glaube an Gott hat nicht nur seinen intrinsischen Wert, sondern er ist auch für vertrauensvolle zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen unabdingbar. Im Spannungsverhältnis dieser zwei Zitate entstanden die Beiträge dieses Bandes zu den fundamentaltheologischen Themen Gott, Christentum, Kirche, Ökumene, Spiritualität.
A History of Apologetics
Making the case for the Christian faith—apologetics—has always been part of the Church's mission. Yet Christians sometimes have had different approaches to defending the faith, responding to the needs of their respective times and framing their arguments to address the particular issues of their day. Cardinal Avery Dulles's A History of Apologetics provides a masterful overview of Christian apologetics, from its beginning in the New Testament through the Middle Ages and on to the present resurgence of apologetics among Catholics and Protestants. Dulles shows how Christian apologists have at times both criticized and drawn from their intellectual surroundings to present the reasonableness...
The Assurance of Things Hoped for
Faith, since the earliest Christian theologians, has been regarded as the fundamental Christian virtue--the prerequisite for hope, charity, and good works. In this book, Avery Dulles examines the biblical foundations and history of theological reflection on faith, from the Greek and Latin fathers to such modern giants as Tillich, Rahner, and Lonergan. Further, Dulles presents his own systematic synthesis, reflecting on such topics as the nature and object of faith; the certitude of faith; the birth, growth, and loss of faith; and faith and salvation. The result is a refreshingly relevant theology of faith for our day.
Einführung in die Theologie der Pastoral
Die Kirche steht in zahlreichen sozialen und kulturellen Wechselbeziehungen. Mit ihrer Mitwelt interagiert sie nicht erst, wenn sie sich aktiv mit ihr auseinandersetzt, sondern auch, wenn sie dies unterlässt. Sie kann nicht nicht handeln. Die Pastoraltheologie, welche sich seit ihrer Neugründung im 18. Jahrhundert mit der Handlungsseite der Kirche wissenschaftlich beschäftigt, steht deshalb vor einem breiten, sich ständig wandelnden Themenspektrum. Diese Einführung in die Theologie der Pastoral zeigt zentrale Fragestellungen und Themen des Faches auf und verdeutlicht, dass mit der Handlungsseite das 'Ganze' von Theologie und Kirche zur Debatte steht. Dieser Band will Theologiestudierenden, kirchlichen Mitarbeitern und Mitarbeiterinnen sowie Religionslehrern und Religionslehrerinnen eine grundlegende Orientierung im Fach geben.
