This book identifies the distinguishing features of fundamental theology, as distinct from philosophical theology, natural theology, apologetics, and other similar disciplines. Addressing the potential for confusion about basic Christian claims and beliefs, Gerald O'Collins sets out to relaunch fundamental theology as a discipline by presenting a coherent vision of basic theological questions and positions that lay the ground for work in specific areas of systematic theology.
Rethinking Fundamental Theology examines central theological questions: about God, human experience and, specifically, religious experience; the divine revelation coming through the history of Israel and through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus; human faith that responds to revelation; the nature of tradition that transmits the record and reality of revelation; the structure of biblical inspiration and truth, as well as basic issues concerned with the formation of the canon; the founding of the Church with some leadership structures; the relationship between Christ's revelation and the faith of those who follow other religions. O'Collins concludes with some reflections on theological method.
Written with the scholarship and accessibility for which O'Collins is known and valued, this book will relaunch fundamental theology as a distinct and necessary discipline in faculties and departments of theology and religious studies around the world.

Transformation lays the groundwork for what church and Christian community can become in this new century. Author and pastor Bob Roberts Jr. is one of the architects of this unique approach to Christianity-based on biblical and missional discipleship-that he calls T-Life (transformed life), which leads to a T-World (transformed world). Ever since Jesus' commission to make disciples in his name, Christianity has transformed lives and the world at large. To those watching, it must have looked like an upstart religion led by a group of men, most of whom were martyred for their beliefs. The voice of secular culture today is no louder and no more indulgent than it was in those days. And yet much of the Western church has settled for becoming just another mass media market that's adding to the noise, instead of a movement that continues to turn the world upside down. Drawing inspiration from early church history and the emerging church in the developing world, Roberts envisions a new way of engaging the local church to achieve common goals. He calls for: Building a church culture rather than a church program. Empowering the local church to invest in the global missions field. Consistently reestablishing our relationship with Jesus Christ in order to experience true transformation. In fact, all this begins with a growing, interactive relationship with God that includes personal and corporate worship. This, in turn, results in community. As community serves others, transformation has both a global and local impact and creates transformation in the world. Transformation redefines the focus and practice of the church, not from external bells and whistles, but from the internal transformation of the very character of its people.

Palliative Care ist eine Antwort auf grundlegende Fragen der modernen Medizin: Wie weit wollen, sollen oder mMedizin: Wie weit wollen, sollen oder mussen wir Leben erhalten, verlangern und verbessern, wenn es von unheilbarer Krankheit, Alter oder Sterben begrenzt wird? Was wird fur ein der menschlichen Wurde und Freiheit gerecht werdendes Leben und Sterben gefordert? Ist alles medizinisch Machbare zu tun, oder widerspricht dies persoenlichen und gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen von einem guten Leben und Sterben? Und dort, wo die heutige Medizin an ihre Grenzen stoesst, wie gehen wir mit dem Leiden und Sterben um? Welche Bedurfnisse stehen in diesen Situationen im Vordergrund? Wie kann ihnen fur moeglichst alle entsprochen werden? Was ist wesentlich in der Beziehung, in Haltung und Verhalten zueinander zwischen jenen, die unheilbar krank sind, die gehen mussen, vielleicht wollen, und jenen, die sie in dieser Situation betreuen und begleiten? Das Buch "Ethik in der Palliative Care" gibt Antworten auf diese Fragen, indem es umfassend die historischen, medizinischen, ethischen und theologischen Hintergrunde von Palliative Care beschreibt und ihren Stellenwert im Schweizer Gesundheitssystem dokumentiert.

Seit der ersten Verurteilung der Freimaurerei durch Papst Clemens XII. (1738) wird die Mitgliedschaft von Katholiken in Freimaurerlogen mit kirchlichen Strafen belegt. Trotz nationalhistorisch bedingter Unterschiede innerhalb der Freimaurerei und trotz des Bemuhens um eine differenzierte Betrachtung blieb die Haltung der massgebenden kirchlichen Autoritaten gegenuber der gleichzeitigen Mitgliedschaft von Katholiken in Freimaurerlogen und der katholischen Kirche bis heute unverandert rigoros. Ausgehend von den historischen Anlassen der kirchlichen Verurteilungen werden im kanonistischen Teil der Arbeit die Strafnormen bis zur geltenden Rechtslage analysiert, Entwicklungen skizziert und schliesslich die Frage nach der unbedingten Unvereinbarkeit, Katholik und Freimaurer zu sein, erneut gestellt.

R231 R211 Discovery Miles 2 110 Save R20 (9%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

God's Belongers should transform our thinking about what it means to belong to church. Uniquely, David Walker replaces the old and worn division between 'members' and 'nonmembers' with a fourfold model of belonging: through relationship, through place, through events, and through activities. From his extensive practical research, the author shows how 'belonging' can encompass a far wider group of people than those who attend weekly services. This opens up creative opportunities for mission in today's world. 'In this excellent book David Walker brings together his considerable gifts as a first-rate mathematician and theologian in a highly accessible manner. The result is not only fascinating and thought-provoking: its insights have the potential significantly to renew the mission of the church in its efforts to make the love of God in Jesus known. I hope it will be very widely read.' The Right Revd Dr John Inge, Bishop of Worcester

Church History, Volume One offers a unique contextual view of how the Christian church spread and grew from its development in the days of Jesus to the years leading up to the Reformation. Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God's people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both influenced and were influenced by the church. FEATURES: Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through the thirteenth centuries. Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish worlds and how they developed or declined. Insights into the church's relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan attitudes toward Christians. Explanations of the role of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy-both sacred and secular-in the Church. Details on the major theological controversies of the periods. Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible. AUTHOR'S PERSPECTIVE: Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known. It's a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to live by a divine revelation. It's a story of how they succeeded and how they failed or fell short of their calling. From the Apostle Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history-the coming of the Son of God-and with their role in that event and in the lives of God's people.

R1,373 Discovery Miles 13 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Das im 19. Jahrhundert im heutigen Iran entstandene Baha'itum ist nach seinem Selbstverstandnis und religionswissenschaftlicher Einordnung eine Weltreligion. Als dezidierte Rechtsreligion verfugt es uber ein Offenbarungsrecht, dessen Kern ein Rechtssetzungsrecht bildet - ermachtigt wird eine demokratisch zu bestellende Koerperschaft, die das Offenbarungsrecht anwendbar machen und erganzen soll. Die Arbeit unternimmt es, die theologischen Grundlagen dieses Baha'i-Rechts aufzuarbeiten. Sie untersucht den in der Baha'i-Schrift dokumentierten theologischen Zusammenhang, auf den dieses Recht seinen Inhalt, seine Anspruche und Funktionen zuruckfuhrt. Im Rahmen der Darstellung von vier rechtstheologischen Dimensionen weist sie das Baha'i-Recht als ius divinum aus.

R2,150 Discovery Miles 21 500 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Die Gewahrung der religioesen Vereinigungsfreiheit und die Zulassung neuer Religionsgemeinschaften sind nicht nur historisch wesentliche Aspekte der korporativen Religionsfreiheit. Mit der Zunahme neuer religioeser Bewegungen sah sich der oesterreichische Gesetzgeber gezwungen, das noch aus dem 19. Jahrhundert stammende Anerkennungsrecht zu reformieren. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, mit Blick auf die religionsrechtliche Lage, in Deutschland die umfangreichen grundrechtlichen Probleme des gegenwartigen Religionsgemeinschaftenrechts in OEsterreich aufzuzeigen. Neben der Darstellung der historischen und verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen werden die gesetzliche Anerkennung und die sonstigen Organisationsformen fur Religionsgemeinschaften ebenso kritisch beleuchtet wie die Rechtsprechung der Hoechstgerichte.

Der Codex Iuris Canonici von 1983 droht in c. 1399 eine Strafe fur jede schwere Gesetzesverletzung, die zu einem AErgernis fuhrt, an. Eine derartige Generalklausel ist im staatlichen Strafrecht undenkbar. Die Grunde, die hierfur in erster Linie genannt werden, die Gewaltenteilung und das Demokratieprinzip, sind auf die katholische Kirche allerdings nicht ubertragbar. Weder kennt die Kirche eine Gewaltenteilung noch eine im weltlichen Sinne demokratische Verfassungsordnung. Obwohl diese Vorschrift auch unter Kanonisten nicht unumstritten ist, wurde sie in den Kodex aufgenommen, um der Kirche die Moeglichkeit zu geben, auf ein Fehlverhalten von Glaubigen ggf. auch ohne ausdruckliche gesetzliche Androhung mit strafrechtlichen Mitteln reagieren zu koennen. Diese Regelung ist nur erklarbar vor der Tatsache, dass dem geschriebenen Recht in der katholischen Kirche eine geringere Bedeutung zukommt als im weltlichen Bereich. Nicht die Sicherung einer sozialen Ordnung und der Rechte des Einzelnen stehen im Mittelpunkt der kirchlichen Gesetze, sondern der Verkundigungsauftrag der Kirche.

This collection documents the contributions made to an international colloquium organized in Rome in 2005 by the German Historical Institute on the subject of the international relations entertained by the Roman curia under Paul V Borghese. The proceedings were based on the three-volume edition of the main directives of this pontificate by Silvano Giordano published in 2003. Alongside more general issues (implementation of the reforms adopted at the Council of Trent, jurisdiction, military matters, the relationship between micro- and macro-politics), there is also discussion of the (confessional) political contacts between Rome and the main territories of the orbis catholicus (legations, nunciatures), including those outside Europe.
