The Relationship Hermeneutics in the Context of Pastoral and Catechesis - Locus for Dialogue with Culture in the Missio Ecclesiae
The authority-oriented pastoral/catechetical planning method, which characterizes the African mission transmission, has been problematic as it subtly neglects in its pedagogy the culture and daily life of the subject. Hence, the people operate a Christian/cultural double standard. This book proffers an alternative as the author makes the concept of the relationship hermeneutics model to a creative writing that aims towards an empirical application in the theology of inculturation, which is a subject-oriented and dialogical method that draws its strength from the incarnation prototype.
Praxis of Retelling Parables and Miracles
A bible theological didactic is not principally reduced to learning and teaching Bible alone but rather extended to understanding and interpreting Bible in one's own religious and pedagogical context. Bible didactic, moreover, does not circumscribe itself only to biblical knowledge in virtue of deducing some abstract and moral principles, but it rather prospects to strengthen and reconstruct one's identity within the choices offered by culture and context. This book aims to engage in an intercultural interpretation of the parables and the miracles of Jesus by dialoging with the culture of Tamils. This comparative study subsequently proposes an alternative synchronic hermeneutic in biblical d...
Youth Development in Nigeria
Youth development is as a core aspect of human and national progress in Nigeria. The study suggests the development of young people as the means of poverty reduction. It indicates that amidst cultural, ethnic, and religious diversities, and in the light of threats to human life and property, the development of the youth is the way to promoting peace and unity, justice, and security. The book argues on a two-fold contribution: While the Nigerian Church is to intensify efforts in the active participation of lay Christians in politics, the State is to tackle critical areas to ensure a decent standard of living for all.
The Spirituality of the Igbo People of Nigeria as an Example of Religious Modernization in a Global World
If there is no religion in the world, the world would more or less become a jungle. The world will be inhuman. Religion touches all aspects of human life. Identifying God's will in our world today has become a major problem for many religions of the world. In the past, in Igbo Traditional Religion, human sacrifice as well as the killing of twins were practised. For the Igbo traditionalists then, that was the will of the deities and equally not against God's will. But following the encounter of Igbo Traditional Religion with Christianity these are no longer practised. Misinterpretation of God's will by some religions of the world has given rise to religious violence, religious extremism, fana...
Toward a Synodal Church in Africa
"African Catholic theologians reflect on synodality and the church in Africa"--
Religion unterrichten als Haltung
Die vorliegende Studie legt eine Theorie der professionellen Haltung der Religionslehrperson vor und ergänzt im interdisziplinären Dialog mit den Bildungswissenschaften den etablierten Professionsdiskurs. Der Begriff Haltung wird konkretisiert in die Debatte eingeführt. Haltung als Aspekt und grundlegendes Merkmal der Professionalität von Religionslehrpersonen wird dabei als metareflexiver Begriff verstanden, der mehrperspektivisch gedacht wird und die Subjektivität der Lehrperson sowie die Bedeutung ihrer Beziehungen für gelingende religiöse Lehr- und Lernprozesse betont.
Benedikt Maria von Werkmeister (1754 - 1823)
Mit Benedikt Maria von Werkmeister (1754 - 1823) kommt ein Aufklärungstheologe ins wissenschaftliche und pastorale Bewusstsein, der sich vielen Spannungen aussetzte, vor allem der Spannung zwischen Glaube und Vernunft, zwischen Dogma und Erfahrung, zwischen Liturgie und Leben, zwischen Evangelium und Lebensgestaltung. Wie Doering diese Spannungen auf der Basis genauer historischer Recherche in einer glasklaren Verbindung von Anerkennung und Kritik in Werkmeisters Konzeptionen zum katechetischen Handeln, zur liturgischen Gestaltung und zur Gestaltung von Predigt verdeutlicht, beleuchtet auch entsprechende heutige Diskurse und Auseinandersetzungen.
Wind of Change?
"1968" und "1989" – wie in einem Brennglas bündeln diese beiden Daten den gesellschaftlichen Wandel. Dies gilt nicht zuletzt für die Rahmenbedingungen und Inhalte religiöser Erziehung und Sozialisation. Religionspädagogik und kirchliche Bildungspolitik haben sich im Gefolge von "'68" und "'89" massiv verändert. Emanzipation, Politisierung und ein Mehr an gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung prägten Diskurse und Praxen religiöser Bildung. Die Beiträge des Tagungsbands zeigen dabei eine bemerkenswerte Ähnlichkeit der Leitideen und Ziele in den jeweiligen Umbruchskontexten. Durch die übergreifende Betrachtung des Umbruchsgeschehens zwischen 1968 und 1989 wirft der Band neue Schlaglichte...
Called to Communion
This is a book of wisdom and insight that explains how providential are the trials through which the Catholic Church is now passing. The need of the Papal Primacy to ensure Christian unity; the true meaning of the Priesthood as a sacrament and not a mere ministry; the necessity of the Eucharist as the Sacrifice of the Savior now offering Himself on our altars; the role of the Bishops as successors of the Apostles, united with the successor of St. Peter, the Bishop of Rome; the value of suffering in union with Christ crucified; the indispensable service of the laity in the apostolate - all these themes receive from Cardinal Ratzinger new clarity and depth.
