Abstract:

The article argues that René Girard and Ivan Illich, each in their distinctive ways, draw upon the dimensions of the Christian apocalyptic tradition that are often ignored, and that their retrievals of this tradition, specifically of its theology of Antichrist, open up once again the theology of history, an area of inquiry in Christian theology that we often dismiss or ignore, thus yielding the field and allowing the figure of Antichrist and the apocalyptic tradition to be taken up and deployed as weapons of mimetic destruction in just the ways our popular culture has come to fear.

Abstract:

Abstract The encounter of Aboriginal Australians with European settlers led to appalling injustices, in which Christian churches were in part complicit. At the root of these injustices was the failure to comprehend the Aborigines’ relationship to the land. In their mythic vision, known as The Dreaming, land is suffused with religious meaning and therefore sacred. It took two hundred years for this to be acknowledged in British-Australian law (Mabo judgement, 1992). This abrogated the doctrine of terra nullius (the land belongs to no-one) and recognized native title to land, based on continuous

Abstract This essay argues that critiques of redemption in contemporary black theory necessitate a rethinking of black theology in terms of loss so as to upend the political theological order of redemption and damnation that justifies antiblack governance of thought and existence. Through an immanent reading of political theology's appearance in ostensibly secular black feminist thought, the article shows how these wayward metabolizations of black theology's internal and external contradictions—specifically, those that illuminate a fundamental crisis of meaning at its heart—reveal black theolo

Abstract:

Dru Johnson’s account of Hebraic philosophy seems well-suited for the task of reconciling the Christian account of God with the reality of suffering. I outline two ways in which this is the case: one retrospective, one proactive. Looking back, if biblical philosophy is mysterionist, creationist, transdemographic, and ritualist, then we might understand the failure of a certain kind of theodicy in light of its failure to meet one or more of these criteria. Looking forward, we ought to keep these features in mind. I conclude by suggesting that Johnson’s account of truth is, in fact, best underst

Abstract:

Convinced that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, this paper looks at the history of the interaction between Christian faith and culture in the Western tradition. Presenting two millennia of history in such limited space is bound to be fragmentary. But it serves the limited purpose of uncovering the dynamics of the interaction between faith and culture. It is seen that faith flourished as  long as it remained faithful to this dynamics and it declined when it failed to do so, i.e., from the modem period to the present. The latter can be seen as a failure of wisdo

Abstract:

Barth’s dream of a Spirit-centered theology hints at the great disconnect between the New Testament portrayal of the mission and message of Jesus and the ‘gospel’ of traditional Protestantism. This disconnect appeared as a result of the Reformers’ adoption of cessationism to undercut Papal authority, which rested, in part, on the idea of continuing revelation and miracle. The failure of both sides to understand the purpose of charismatic revelation and power as the central characteristic of the New Covenant, resulted in a misunderstanding of the mission of Jesus, the purpose of the cross, and

Abstract:

With the “return of the virtues” in theology and church practice, Christians seek to develop dispositions that make moral excellence more likely. By contrast, the writings of Søren Kierkegaard, though retrieved by virtue ethicists, develop dispositions (anxiety, self-doubt, the real possibility of offense) that lead to self-conflict and make virtue more difficult. If Kierkegaard does develop virtue, he most closely resembles Stanley Hauerwas, who suggests that virtue makes conflict and moral failure increasingly possible.

Abstract:

In his Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone, Immanuel Kant interacts in a veiled way with Christian theology. In particular, he demythologizes three main Christian theories of the atonement, namely the ransom theory, the satisfaction-substitution theory, and the moral example and influence theory. In each case, Kant substitutes Jesus’ role in the particular atonement theory with that of each individual. Kant’s reasons for this demythologization include his failure to find meaning in history and his unwavering commitment to individual moral autonomy. Kant’s demythologizing programme sacri

Today paedobaptists increasingly recognize faith-baptism as the norm of Christian baptism, both in theology and in practice. Equally Baptists must recognize how minimal and rare were challenges to infant baptism prior to the Reformation.

This might lead to greater support for the ‘dual-practice’ or ‘reconciled diversity’ approach which acknowledges believers’ and infant baptism as ‘equivalent alternatives’.

Nevertheless, the ascendancy of Radical and Neo-Orthodoxy repeats imbalances of the Christendom Group which Temple was concerned to counter. Temple's greatest weakness for today is his failure to appreciate the trend towards profound social plurality, and its challenge to his strong idea of nationhood. However, today's global economy suggests that plurality must be held in tension with other aspects of the dominant market model.

Leviticus' strange, yet profound descriptions of the land as an active character, covenanting with YHWH and the people, not only represent a challenge to certain trends in the history of interpretation, b

Abstract:

At the onset of the 19th century, a demand for a renewal of thinking forms in Western Christian theology emerged with great clarity. This was primarily due to the intensification of emancipation and secularisation processes in society and the humanities, and the emergence of major, highly influential systems of philosophy that directly addressed questions of religious knowledge and doctrine. This challenge has been especially problematic and painful for Catholicism, whose conservative epistemology attaches great importance to the continuity of Church teaching and tradition.

This article examines the influence of prosperity theology, also known as the Prosperity Gospel, on Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa. Prosperity theology is a global phenomenon in modern Christianity in the era of globalization. Christianity in post-colonial Africa is heavily influenced and shaped by the tenets of the Prosperity Gospel. First of all, this applies to various areas of neo-Pentecostal Christianity. The development of Christianity in Africa can be better understood by understanding the close relationship between the Prosperity Gospel and African Neo-Pentecostalism. African neo-P

AbstractThis article reflects upon the existing situation facing the Jamaican underclass in the light of the paradigm and legacy of Sam Sharpe, Christian martyr and Jamaican national hero who led the Baptist war that contributed immensely to ending slavery in the British Empire. The article suggests, using the rise of Lotto Scam as an example—which, as is explained below, is a form of advance fee fraud perpetrated against mostly senior citizens in the US—that the legacy of Sam Sharpe has not been pursued without deviation.

Jürgen Moltmann’s theology of hope enacts the idea of hope as the foundation of friendship. Those who want to live in a friendship should be open to each other, acknowledging that misapprehension and misunderstanding are possible in a friendship journey. To achieve the value of salvation in experiencing friendship, one needs to have the courage to turn or direct his/her vision to the experience of God. God Himself has experienced that His logging to reach man and have good relationship with His people is obstructed by man’s stubbornness to refuse His love. Jesus’ passion and death is the peak

The article explores the reasons and the outcomes of the displacement of the concept of just war inherent in Catholic Christian ethics, which are correlated with the approaches of international security organizations based on the a priori possibility of agreement, dialogue and non-violent conflict resolution. Among the causes of negative consequences, the false opinion that the time of wars between states has passed and the interpretation of armed conflicts as exclusively internal regional disputes are singled out. These factors lead to a delayed reaction of the international community to wars

AbstractI argue for the theological plausibility of reading contemporary environmental concern as a response to the prophetic voices of nonhuman nature, and in that sense as a movement of the Holy Spirit.The literature on pneumatology and the environment tends to concentrate either on the Spirit's role in creation (and the continuities between creation and new creation) or on the ecclesial location of the Spirit's transformation of material reality. While these approaches are sound and necessary, neither appears fully to address the specific theological challenge of the contemporary environmen

Abstract In this article, we argue that public theologians have a rich tradition from which to argue for the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people. In particular, Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s resistance to the co-opting of Christianity by the Nazi regime is frequently cited in theological circles as an exemplar. Yet, we find major public figures and theological societies, such as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the United Kingdom’s Society for the Study of Theology (SST) to be wanting in this regard.

Abstract:

Postmodemism's censure of metanarratives expresses a moral claim and moral concern about those who have spawned injustice in the name of Truth. Ironically, while this censure is an indictment against the historic failures of the Christian church, it is also a corroboration of Christian theology. On postmodernism, a moral claim must be understood either instrumentally (emotivism or prescriptivism) or ideally (subjectivism or intersubjectivism), and neither is adequate. Rather, the moral claim requires moral realism. Moral realism, however, is best explained by theism. While sharing many of post

Abstract:

Failure to achieve a consensus on a regular Easter cycle divided Christians in the second century and again in the fourth. In the seventh century and early eighth, the matter was contested among the churches of Britain and Ireland. In this period, Ceolfrith, abbot of Wearmouth-Jarrow, sent a letter to the king of the Picts, outlining the reasons for following a nineteen-year paschal cycle. Bede, in his Historia ecclesiastica, reproduced Ceolfrith's letter, preserving a unique study on the logistical and theological complexities in the debate on how to derive the correct date to celebrate Easte
