Abstract:

Scholarly readings of seventeenth-century New England conversion narratives often miss the signs of regeneration that were very clear to contemporary church audiences. This article contains close readings of narratives from Thomas Shepard's Newtown church to bring out those signs and to restore the role of a godly audience to the process of gaining church membership.

Abstract:

In our times the Church and her credibility are the most often rejected elements of Christianity by ordinary European citizens. The Church’s credibility is questionable also for many Christians, who find Ecclesia split into two: how she should be and how she really is. Because of that theology needs objective, scientific research on the Church’s credibility. This is the task of Fundamental Ecclessiology which uses – among others – a method called signs of the Church’s credibility. These signs could be described as two-dimension elements which consist the Church and direct to her supernatural,

Abstract:

The liturgy of the Church is an expression of his life with Christ, it uses natural signs such as: wine, water, light, fire, smoke, oil, salt, and ash. It is through Christ, that they are given new meaning. This meaning is to glorify God and sanctify man. The sacramental ordinances are determined by ecclesiastical law which follows the nature and life of the Church. The ordinances of the Church, through the visible, direct us to the invisible. Behind what is visible there is no action or God's grace. These signs of God's presence are symbols, which St. Augustine calls the encounter betwe

AbstractThis article reflects on Rowan Williams' postmodern approach to sacramentalism and ecclesiology, tracing it through various books and articles. Partly under the influence of the Roman Catholic reception of Wittgenstein, he expounds the centrality of the Eucharist in cultural-linguistic and semiotic terms. Through this central ritual the church signifies the Kingdom of God in a uniquely strong sense of ‘signifies’. He foregrounds a dramatic model: the worshipping community performs the new humanity, it is remade through this unique form of ‘community theatre’. Its guardianship of the ul

Abstract:

There may be various criteria, characteristics, or signs to determine divisions in the Christian Church, on the basis of which it is possible to reveal and identify these schisms. The first sign of church division can be differences or contradictions between important doctrinal ideas. The second criterion of schism is the creation of a parallel hierarchy. There is another sign of real church schism. This is the antagonistic mood of the people towards those from whom they are religiously separated. This kind of attitude of the people further strengthens the division and gives it an irreversible

In the “modern cosmopolitan culture” of the church of Vatican II, the liberal arts have a central place.

During his Parisian “exile” from 1942 to 1954, Marie-Dominique Chenu’s experiences with worker communities transformed his vision of the church–world relationship. This article highlights the overlooked social dimension of Chenu’s pre-conciliar thought, tracing his shift from a “New Christendom” ecclesiology towards a church in a state of mission and his growing call for ecclesial structural change in light of changing social structures. These life experiences would lead him to advocate for a church that reads and responds to the “signs of times.”

Yet although Urban’s arguments and eloquence convinced his audience at Clermont, reactions to the crusade were more ambivalent among some people in the West, even among some of those who too

Despite recent signs of change, the Indian church was rather reluctant to acknowledge the clerical sexual abuse scandal as its own problem. In the Indian context, the scandal entails not only the abuse of minors, but also the abuse of women and other vulnerable adults by church personnel. The hierarchical structure of Indian society, gender relations based on patriarchy, and postcolonial attitudes provide a fertile ground for abuse. Clericalism, centralization of power in the church, and continuing negative attitudes to sexuality are further contributing factors. The clerical sexual abuse scan

AbstractAccording to Menzies, a careful analysis of Acts 2:17-21 reveals that Luke has modified the Joel quotation in three significant ways, and that each modification serves to highlight an important aspect of the mission of the church. The church's mission is to be characterized by visions and divine guidance, bold witness in the face of intense opposition, and signs and wonders. These three themes run throughout the narrative of Acts, and Luke anticipates that they will continue to mark the life of the church in 'these last days'.

One approach will be to seek to exegete different books of the Bible or to deliver a series of sermons on a particular theme.

The church is a community united by the Lord Jesus Christ, empowered to be witnesses, agents, and examples. However, reality shows that the church often tends to be closed off and does not consistently practice God's love and justice, whether towards its congregation, among church organizations, or towards the surrounding environment, particularly concerning the issue of abortion among teenagers and young people. This study aims to analyse abortion in light of Psalm 139:13 and outline contemporary church leaders' responsibilities. The methodology employed is qualitative, using a literature-bas

Abstract:

This article argues that the Second Vatican Council has recognised the missionary nature of the entire Church (AG, 2). Carrying out the mission means that the Church (clergy as well as lay people) is enthusiatically responding signs of the times in close collaboration with peoples of good will. Time and again, following the decree of Ad Gentes, the Catholic Church expresses its missionary identity in renewed ways in its mission documents. The present article starts with Ad Gentes (The Church’s missionary activity, 1965) and goes through Evangelii Nuntiandi (Evangelization in the modern world,

El Autor esboza la trayectoria de Medellín, sea como evento histórico, sea como evento kairótico. Como acontecimiento histórico, Medellín se relaciona con la precedente historia del Celam, así como al Vaticano II. El Celam, en algunos aspectos, se adelantó al Vaticano II; y éste, a su vez, le fue apoyo e inspiración. Esta inspiración puede ser resumida en el vivir la historicidad del misterio de la Iglesia (LG 5). Como consecuencia, la percepción de los signos de los tiempos acentúa la visita del Espíritu en la corporeidad; inspira la adopción de la metodología del Ver-Juzgar-Actuar desde la f

Abstract:

AbstractThis response to Thomas and Alexander affirms their effort to argue, from a Pentecostal perspective, for the canonical authority of the longer ending of Mark's Gospel (16.9-20). Notwithstanding the text-critical evidence for accepting this text as a secondary addition to the original Gospel narrative, Wall considers it a significant test case for addressing the tensions between critical exegesis and Scripture's performance within the community of faith as its biblical canon (or 'rule of faith'). He argues for the priority of Scripture's formative role both to establish and subsequently

Abstract:

As one of the official languages of the Philippines, English predominantly figures in thedomains of education, government, and the judiciary. This reality has always put English at the top of the linguistic ladder, relegating local languages to lower ranks. This scenario appears to be evident also in the domain of the church. In this paper, I investigate signs posted within the compound of a major Catholic church located in the Philippines in terms of types and language use. Informed by linguistic landscape concepts pioneered by Landry and Bourhis (1997), Spolsky and Cooper (1991), and Ben-Raf

Abstract:

The practice of imprisoning Jews in ghettos and marking them out with special signs (as was introduced by Pius vi in the Papal States, inter alia, in 1775) is associated more with the Nazism of the Third Reich than with the Roman Catholic Church. Nevertheless, the Church maintained its policy of perfidis Judaeis until the beginning of the 1960s, when it was stopped by Vatican ii, probably because of the pressure of social and political factors. This topic is, however, difficult to explain, often very controversial, and subject to many different interpretations. Here we show that anti-Semitic i

A comprehensive and in-depth study of this problem has theoretical importance for a society that today recognizes itself as secular. In the course of the development of a secular state, the regulation of relations between state and religion, the choosing of the necessary model of state-confessional relations can serve as a guarantee of stability or, conversely, destabilization of society. In this regard, the issue of theoretical generalization of historical experience is particula

Abstract:

The Norman Church has sometimes been depicted as welcoming the Capetian conquest of Normandy in 1204. Its relations with the last Angevin dukes of Normandy, Richard the Lionheart and King John, certainly showed signs of serious tension, especially the election dispute at Sées (1201–3), but there is also ample evidence of continuing co-operation between the dukes and the Norman Church. Prior to 1204, moreover, Philip Augustus of France had done very little to win over the Norman Church. It is demonstrated here that he was far less generous to the religious houses of south-east Normandy, which h

Abstract:

The call of Jesus to recognize the signs of time from Mt 16, 3 has a timeless character. The investigation and explanation of the Gospel light is the duty of the Church. This has a fundamental importance for the effectiveness of evangelization. The signs of time can be correlated directly with God’s initiative to save us. The sign of time can be considered the sign of God in which God’s freedom addresses our freedom, calling us to create history. God, thanks to the signs of time, not so much manifests his definite will, but rather directs us towards freedom. The signs of time show the directio

As actions of Christ and of the Church, they are signs and means by which faith is expressed and strengthened, worship is offered to God and our sanctification is brought about. Thus they contribute in the most effective manner to establishing, strengthening and manifesting ecclesiastical communion.

This miracle happens through the Holy Sacraments, instituted by Jesus Christ. All these sacraments are entrusted to the Church by Christ. That is the reason why the classical definition states that the sacraments, the efficacious and visible signs are entrusted to the Church by Jesus Christ.1 This academic paper entitled Neuro-Contextual Analysis of Sacramental Symbols is an attempt to analyze the Sacramental Symbols in the realm of Neuro-Context.
