King, James. "Christianity under the state : with Yoder, after critique." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2014. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=225936.

Abstract:

Chapter 1: I construct a synthetic reading of the political works of John Howard Yoder, demonstrating that they offer a theological doctrine of the state, counter to the received opinion of Yoder scholarship. While human social life is deemed entirely political, the concept of principalities and powers is shown to be key to understanding Yoder's conception of the state. Further, Yoder demonstrates an apocalyptic political theology, which, as well as waiting on God's action, is also empowered to act in the created realm in the present, secular age. Chapter 2: Stanley Hauerwas' work applies Yode

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 197-202.<br>This dissertation studies the New Testament perspective of the Christian's attitude and duty towards the State. In it the first chapter is devoted to an investigation of the political attitude of Jesus of Nazareth as can be recovered from his reported actions and pronouncements concerning the Roman government of his day and his instructions to his followers about violence and their duties towards the State. Special attention is paid to the reasons for his crucifixion. In the second chapter an exegetical study is made of the apostle Paul's teachings about the St

Abstract:

This thesis explores how Christianity, the religion of a small number of people in India, played a significant role in shaping India’s state policies towards religion, and the culture of modern Indian public life. Rather than evaluate whether India is ‘secular’ or not, this thesis investigates the particular details of modern India’s relation with religion. It is argued that these particularities are best explained with reference to a history of social competition, in which sectarianism, including Christian sectarianism, played a major role. The thesis operates at three levels: state policy, s

Abstract:

The thesis investigates liberationist Christianity in Argentina, understanding it as a dynamic, diverse and internally conflictive socio-religious movement. As such, the movement transcended political and denominational divides, incorporating some of the minority Protestant sectors in addition to large numbers of Catholics. Three stages in the history of the revolutionary Christian movement in Argentina are analysed: firstly (1930-1966), the emergence of what Michael Löwy refers to as the liberationist Christian movement is assessed, by following changes in Argentinian society, within Catholic

Abstract:

The process of Idema reception and development of Christianity was initiated by British Methodist missionaries in 1924. Such a process requires a cultural transformation through which Christianity is re-shaped to suit the Idema need, custom and traditions thereby regaining the lost cultural cohesion which the Idema need to adapt Christianity and spread it among themselves. Chapter one introduces the reasons for the choice of this study and the aims, purpose, and methodology of the research. It calls attention to the need to see the Idema as subjects of religious change and not merely as object

Abstract:

The thesis describes the range of south Nias villagers' understandings of sickness and healing, and investigates how and why they draw on various cultural spheres in the interpretation and management of sickness events. Traditional notions of sickness etiology are set in the context of both Christian beliefs and the state's efforts to promulgate modern, 'scientific' understandings, in order to show how sociologically distinguished individuals draw variously at different times and contexts on all three fields of sickness interpretation and management. The thesis begins with a history of Nias re

Abstract:

Contemporary political and public theology is predominantly statist, with a view of the state as the solver of human problems, and with the church urging the state to do more to bring about social justice and peace. This practice of politics as statecraft has been forcefully challenged by a number of recent theologians, such as those within the theological movement known as Radical Orthodoxy. Against such a backdrop, this thesis examines the work of two of Radical Orthodoxy’s most political writers: John Milbank and William Cavanaugh. Their characterization of the state, as based in nominalist

Abstract:

This thesis explores the history of Kongolo, a territory in northern Katanga. It borrows from a method used particularly in Zimbabwean and Kenyan studies, namely the local study. Combining life histories with a range of archival sources, the dissertation offers a situated history of the local state in Congo. Specifically, it examines how Belgian colonialisms were received by African communities from the inception of the Congo Free State (CFS) in 1885 until the end of the Belgian Congo in 1960. It analyses the encounter of big business, missions and the state with local religious and political

Abstract:

The thesis argues that Christianity underwent a profound process of inculturation during the "long eighteenth century", which was caused by the absence of foreign missionaries after the edict of 1724 and by the fact that the Christian centres moved from China's cities into the countryside and wilderness.

Abstract:

For much of its recent history, the Kachin State of northern Myanmar has been wrought with civil warfare that has come to define its image from the outside, as well as being a key signifier in the conceptual life worlds of many of its ethnic nationalities. While Myanmar is currently witnessing significant – if still uncertain – political and economic transitions, the Kachin State remains largely marginalized from these processes. Rather than an absence of state power, however, this marginalization had led to competing projects of statecraft vying over resources, military control and popular le

It is suggested that some of the policies, teachings and social practice of the South African Catholic Church serve to reproduce and reinforce the existing societal relations of domination, thus contributing to the hegemony of the do

This thesis develops a model that can be used to assess the ability of religious institutions to contribute to post-conflict state building. Highlighting the tendency in state building literature to stop short in discussing what seems to be inferred, but unnameable—religion—the research proposes a framework that identifies theoretical mechanisms through which religious institutions can contribute to post-conflict state building. Drawing from the theologies of Roman Catholicism and Sunni Islam the thesis then reflects upon why they would, of their own accord, lend their considerable legitimacy
