Abstract:

This thesis examines the literary uses of biblical typology in the last three decades of the nineteenth century. It aims to show how late Victorian writers, having opted out of the orthodox Christian beliefs of the age, were still writing from within a cultural discourse shaped by, and based upon, such faith. Covering works as diverse as Sartor Resartus, De Profundis, and The Island of Doctor Moreau, and discussing writers who range from Mary Augusta Ward via Hardy to Strindberg and Dostoevsky, my contention is that these writers not only used the structure, terminology, and imagery of biblical typology to express their religious doubts, but that they 'reclaimed' what was strictly seen as a mode of exegesis and transformed it into a richly suggestive signifying system. Through this reconstructed mode of expression, they could offer to their readers ideas of a new 'religion' or, at least, a possible way out of the despair caused by the ultimate failure of Christian faith. The thesis is presented in three parts, the first of which briefly details the various available definitions of biblical typology itself. Following this, each sub-section of Part One traces a different aspect of late Victorian typology usage. Parts Two and Three deal with what I claim to be the two major strains of the late nineteenth century's secular use of typology - those concerned, respectively, with the 'imitation of' or 'association with' biblical types in their relation to literary characters. The changes made to the traditional biblical typology by late Victorian writers, as examined in this thesis, brought the biblical anti-type closer to the Jungian archetype, just as it brought the Nineteenth Century closer to our twentieth-century view of our religious and textual inheritance.

Nash, Sally. "Landscapes of shame in the church : a typology to inform ministerial praxis." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2016. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/6494/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis answers the question How might an understanding of shame in the church inform approaches to ministerial praxis? It is methodologically a creative piece of practical theology which begins and ends with an autoethnographic reflection, drawing on the metaphor of landscape. The practical theology methodology involved the following stages: noticing; reflexivity; describing, naming; focusing; investigating; analysing; evaluating; theorizing, synthesizing; and responding, while drawing on insights from a mixed methods approach to qualitative research. The empirical research involved an anonymous online survey (261 respondents) to church leaders, church members and theological educators and two representative focus groups. Shame is defined phenomenologically using a range of disciplines; a review of literature relevant to shame and ministerial praxis is included. The unique contribution this thesis makes is twofold. Firstly, the development of an empirically underpinned typology of shame in the church which has six domains: personal, relational, communal, structural, theological and historical facilitating the identification of shame which is often a hidden phenomenon. Secondly, identifying specific approaches to ministerial praxis which help mitigate such shame including a shame examen to assist conscientization. The final chapter discusses the author’s learning about shame, ministerial praxis, doing theology and theological education.

Trafford, Simon J. "The theology of Aeschylus." Thesis, Swansea University, 2013. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42603.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the theology of Aeschylus through a close text-based discussion of the nature and justice of Zeus. This will not be a dogmatic investigation that looks for signs of monotheism or 'proto-monotheism'. Rather, this thesis will examine the presentation of the god in Aeschylus, as he is found in his plays, free from any desire or attempt to form a rounded, comprehensive 'Aeschylean theology'. The first chapter considers the two closely connected divine terms, thetaepsilonozeta and deltaalphaiotamuonu. The clear-cut and easily discernible meaning of thetaepsilonozeta acts as a constant with which the more ambiguous and less determinable word deltaalphaiotamuonu can be compared and contrasted. This chapter discusses both those instances where deltaalphaiotamuonu seems to be synonymous with thetaepsilonozeta and where it does not, where the term seems to possess a meaning close to that of an individual's fortune or destiny in life. This is done in order to conclusively see how Aeschylus uses the word deltaalphaiotamuonu in the Eumenides as part of his characterisation of the Erinyes, which enables us to see more clearly what role divine terminology plays in the presentation of Zeus and the god's justice. The remaining chapters of this thesis examine Zeus in Aeschylus. First, attention is given to the old debates concerning the potential and respective influence of Homeric, Hesiodic and Presocratic conceptions of divinity on the theology of Aeschylus. Then, the final chapter of the thesis looks at the justice of Zeus primarily through a discussion of one question, whether we should understand Agamemnon as guilty in the eyes of Zeus, which it is argued we should not. It is shown that Aeschylus does not present an optimistic idea of Zeus or divine justice, and the god's rule is seen as neither kind nor benevolent. Rather a pragmatic and pessimistic view is presented to us by Aeschylus, one which recognises that Zeus is an all-powerful being in need of respect and honour and whose will must be carefully observed.

Ludlow, Elizabeth. "'We can but spell a surface history' : the biblical typology of Christina Rossetti." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2008. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/1993/.

Full text

Abstract:

My research examines Christina Rossetti’s use of biblical typology in her articulation of individual and communal identity. The central concern of my thesis is with tracing the ways in which she bridges the gap between the two biblical covenants and her contemporary situation by a ceaseless interpretative movement between the discourses of the Old and New Testaments. After examining the basis for her typological modes of reading, I demonstrate the various ways in which they underpin her interpretations of Tractarian, Romantic, and Pre-Raphaelite writings as well as providing her with a framework with which to structure her own poetic sequences. In my examination of the ways in which Rossetti engages with patristic and medieval theology and articulates identity through the cyclical dynamics of typology, I consider her writings alongside those of Isaac Williams, John Keble, John Henry Newman, and Edward Pusey and highlight the key part they play in reinforcing the Oxford Movement’s liturgical momentum. Focusing specifically on her poetic utilization of the ancient practice of chanting psalms and antiphons, her engagement with the musicality of the church service, and her depiction of the visual aspects of ritualism, I read her poetry in terms of the mystical journey towards God upon which, she suggests, each Christian embarks. Applying to Rossetti’s poetry the method of typological analysis that she herself uses, I consider how the poems in her 1893 volume, Verses, can be understood to comment upon her earlier works and how her earlier poetry can be seen as an antecedent to her later works. Through this, I trace the development of her theology as it engages more directly with the hermeneutical principles encouraged by the Tractarians and offers a basis upon which the patristic concept of trinitarian personhood can be understood.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores how selected "decadent-dandyist" writers of late 19^th century France at once exemplify and subvert the self's act of shaping and imprinting its own selfhood upon the world: a model in which an autonomous, discrete artist-self freely creates, and in which both reader/audience and artistic "subjects" are treated as raw canvas and denied agency of their own. Storytellers like Barbey D'Aurevilly, Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, J.K. Huysmans, and Remy de Gourmont create not only hyper-artificial, cloistered, "auto-telic" (to use Charles Taylor's term) textual worlds (e.g. Huysmans' theïbade raffinée) but also hyper-artificial selves: presenting themselves and their often autobiographical protagonists as dandy-artists for whom artistic creation is an extension of self-creation. Central to this thesis is the 19^th century figure of the dandy - he who, to quote D'Aurevilly, "[causes] surprise in others, and [has] the proud satisfaction of never showing any oneself." Appropriating the divine power of self-fashioning, the dandy transforms the chaos of existence into a clear narrative over which he alone exerts control, denying that he himself is subject to the control of the world. In my thesis, I first explore the cultural and economic roots of this understanding of the autonomous dandyist-artist in the light of wider tensions in 19^th century Paris. I then explore selected "decadent-dandyist" texts through close reading, focusing on the theological implications of our authors' treatment of narrative, character, setting, and language: showing how our writers cast doubt on both the possibility and morality "autonomous" creation on theological grounds. Finally, I ask how constructive theologians might learn from our authors' condemnation of "dandyist" storytelling to create a new Christian aesthetics for the novel: proposing elements of an alternate, "kenotic" novel, in which self-projection gives way to "self-giving", a model based not on power and ego but rather on love.

"The Christian theology of religions reconsidered : Alan Race's theology of religions, Hans Frei's theological typology and 20th century ecumenical movements on Christian engagement with other faiths." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/278698.

Full text

Abstract:

The contemporary debate concerning the Christian theology of religions has been profoundly shaped by Alan Race’s three-fold typology of exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism. Although the insufficiency of this typology’s descriptive and critical capacity has become increasingly acknowledged within the field, widespread agreement about its replacement remains elusive. This thesis argues that a replacement can be found in Hans Frei’s five-fold typology of Christian theology, which differentiates between a range of approaches to theology, from theology as philosophical discourse (Type 1) to theology as quarantined, Christian self-description (Type 5). It is suggested that the more basic question posed by Frei’s typology of how Christian theology is understood in relation to philosophy and other external discourses, provides a better means of accounting for the different positions in the Christian theology of religions within 20th century ecumenical movements. It is shown how Frei’s typology emerges from his emphasis on both the limitations and the significance of external discourses for Christian theology, an emphasis which results from his construal of the mystery of Christ’s universal presence as a function of the particular incarnation in Jesus of Nazareth. Chapter one considers the philosophical foundations upon which Race’s typology is constructed, with particular emphasis on Troeltsch’s historicism, Hick’s epistemology of religious experience and WC Smith’s phenomenological hermeneutic, concluding that they determine the typology’s apologetic approach. It is shown how these commitments lead Race’s typology to differentiate between types of Christian theology primarily in relation to the philosophical viability, as Race understands it, of their Christology. Chapter two focuses first on the theology of Hans Frei and his analysis of the relationship between Christology and historicism, epistemology, and hermeneutics. It is suggested that Frei’s focus on the ordering of the relationship between Christian theology and external discourses, while undermining Race’s approach, affirms the possibility of a theologically valuable relationship between Christian theology and external discourses. Moreover, unlike Race, Frei’s emphasis on the significance of external discourses for Christian theology is derived in light of, and not in spite of, a faith in the incarnation and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Chapter three looks at Frei’s fivefold typology as a better means of accounting for the differences Race posits between exclusivists, inclusivists and pluralists. It is argued that in following Frei’s typological logic and the historical, epistemological and hermeneutical considerations characteristic of a Christian theology between types three and four, an approach to the theology of religions emerges which addresses the question of the universality of divine revelation – the central concern of Race’s typology – while also showing the inadequacy of Race’s typology and its prioritisation of philosophy. This will be shown by applying Frei’s typology to 20th century ecumenical movements and the positions on the theological significance of non-Christian religions that have emerged therein. Though Frei did not directly take up the issue of the Christian theology of religions, chapter three will demonstrate how his typology of Christian theology is of particular importance for this discussion. For his typology highlights the central question driving the theology of religions – how the ‘internal’ discourse of Christian self-description in reference to the gospels’ history-like witness to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ relates to the historically contingent, public world outside the church. The conclusion will point toward a constructive proposal for a theology of evangelism and interfaith dialogue in pluralist societies of the 21st century, drawing on the ecumenical discussion viewed in relation to the theological and typological insights of Hans Frei.

Full text

Abstract:

Walter’s The Revival of Death (1994) is a core sociological text which provides the dominant methodological approach to academic reflections concerning death-related behaviour within historical English society in the field of Religious Studies. This thesis provides the first extensive academic critique of Walter’s ideal types of death detailed within his Revival of Death, identifying his misinterpretation and misrepresentation of Webarian ideals which form the foundational structure of his death typology. Removing Walter’s types of death from their idealised context, this study argues that his death typology provides a superficial perception of socio-historical attitudes towards death, which not only negates the effect that gender and class distinction had on societal behaviour, but that his typology is prone to variation and expansion when scrutinised. This thesis expands Walter’s traditional era into three snapshots of history: the Middle Ages (c.1000-1535), the Protestant Reformation (c.1536-1660), and the nineteenth century (c.1800-1901), and utilising Walter’s own typological structure, critically explores and challenges the cohesiveness of the Bodily and Social Contexts of his Traditional type, which are determined by his formulation of a singular Archetypal Death. Through the theoretical implementation of various possible Archetypal Deaths into Walter’s typological structure, namely plague, leprosy, syphilis and tuberculosis, which in turn will be characterised as either morally or physically threatening, this thesis challenges the simplification of Walter’s Traditional type of death which destabilises his whole typology. The justification for these alternative Archetypical Deaths is evidenced through their prolificity within contemporary popular literature; popular literature acts methodologically within this thesis as crucial resources which serve to complicate, contextualise and identify correlations and commonalities of socio-historical death-related behaviour in England c.1000-1901. Thus, by critically exploring Walter’s Traditional death type in relation to representations of plague, leprosy, tuberculosis and syphilis in contemporary popular literature, this thesis seeks to establish whether the sociological typologisation of death is possible without creating homogeneity, and further method of transmitting knowledge.

Full text

Abstract:

Hester returns to Boston at the end of The Scarlet Letter out of love for Dimmesdale--a love transformed by the very "Thou shalt not" she transgresses at the beginning of The Scarlet Letter. This transformation hinges on her transformed relationship to God ("Heaven's will"). Her love, transformed into a duty (through a mechanism explained by Soren Kierkegaard in Works of Love catapults her out of history (spiritually speaking) into a parallel existence, paralleling the two-fold structure of The Scarlet Letter . Deploying itself between two acts of hesitation, The Scarlet Letter is, ironically, not about hesitancy, but about an end to hesitancy in the leap (what I call "the turn," "willing the eternal" and "recollecting the future"). In returning to Boston, Hester turns the clock back to when Dimmesdale still lived, and as the Christian, by faith, looks forward to the imminent return of Jesus Christ, so Hester, at the end of The Scarlet Letter looks forward to the return of Dimmesdale to her side. Hawthorne indicates this fidelity and this expectation indirectly, by reflecting Kierkegaardian repetition in grammatical and rhetorical repetition--and in the manner in which he misappropriates the last line of Marvell's "The Unfortunate Lover." The gap that exists between the narrative level of The Scarlet Letter and its ironic level (in which the humorist in Hawthorne operates) is but one of numerous gaps in the text, recreating the precondition of the turn, as well as reflecting the founding moment in American history: the Pilgrims' fiducial crossing of the Atlantic to begin a new nation. In this sense, The Scarlet Letter is quintessentially American, since its essential, like Huckleberry Finn is quintessentially American, since its essential theme is the flight to the frontier (in this case, from history to eternity). Hester's return is not so much an "exemplum of historical continuity" (Bercovitch's position in The Office of The Scarlet Letter) as an example of the radical discontinuity that installs itself in a believer's heart when he or she embraces eternity in the face of logic and history's resistance to the miraculous. This embracing is rather like a dance. At the end of The Scarlet Letter Hester (all unseen and unguessed) dances her faith, and faithfully dances, her love for Arthur Dimmesdale, repudiating logic, repudiating history, repudiating her former inconstancy.

It will be argued that the Word became incarnate in the world to lead us back to God the Creator, and this exitus and reditus is given and received in human language. In like manner, the words of great literature can direct our attention and reinvigorate the modern cosmic imaginary with a Christian imagination, instructing the reader to engage in a dive into the particulars of his or her concrete life. In mining those details, s/he can attain insights. We will call this trek of inquiry a via litteraria — connecting our lives with the life of God, by way of literature. To that end we will focus on the work of the American Christian writer of fiction and essays, Marilynne Robinson, who is a prime example of this via litteraria

Abstract:

This study investigates the effects of Jansenist theology on seventeenth-century French literature. After an initial explanation of the history of the Jansenist movement and its specific beliefs, there then follows a study into some of the works produced by members of this group. These citations have also been used in order to trace the development of the movement over the seventeenth century. For the purpose of this research, the term J ansenism has been taken to refer to the movement in the seventeenth century and has not been extended into the following century. Once this description has been given, the following four chapters each deal with an individual author and their connection to the Jansenist movement. Their principle works are then studied in order to ascertain the level of influence exerted by this form of religious piety on their literary output. Chapter Two deals with Pascal and concentrates on his Lettres Provinciales and Pensees. Chapter Three studies La Rochefoucauld's Maximes, which are a prime example of the pessimistic view of mankind that was so prevalent during this century. Chapter Four looks into two of Madame de Lafayette's novels, La Princesse de Cleves and La Comtesse de Tende. Chapter Five then studies Racine, a figure whose personal connections with the Jansenist movement, and subsequent estrangement from it, have been well studied. Finally the Conclusion draws together the findings from these chapters and demonstrates how the movement's own development led to changes in how Jansenist doctrine affected the literature of the seventeenth century.

O presente trabalho tem como objeto material da pesquisa a busca de sentido da vida ou patodiceia inspirada na logoteoria de Viktor Emmil Frankl, (1905-1997) e o que a teologia tem a contribuir com a questão, verificando a sua capacidade de recepção sensível à problemática a partir da construção de uma teopatodiceia, no qual a teologia é vista como pergunta pelo sentido [logos] de Deus [Theós] na busca de sentido humana, tendo por base a lógica de conhecimento existencial extraída da teologia dos Exercícios Espirituais de Santo Inácio de Loyola, na perspectiva de Karl Rahner (1904-1984), como forma de explicitar a dimensão da existência cristã presente em sua antropologia teológica. Também é parte da proposta deste trabalho encontrar critérios para formular uma razão literária como elemento formal adequado à proposta da patodiceia, e consequentemente, da teopatodiceia, resultando assim naquilo que chamamos de pensamento poético teológico, como forma de desvelamento de sentido, ou ainda, o elemento existencial das fórmulas teológicas, por um empréstimo de pensamento da Literatura.
The aim of this present research is examine the relation between of the meaning of life other the pathodicy inspired by the Viktor Emmil Frankl s logotheory (1905-1997) and what contribution the theology can make about the question. The Theopathodicy theoretical construction results from the Theology s openness to issue understanding as theo-logy the query about the meaning [logos] of God [Theós], in the human search for meaning. The theological basis of the work is the logic of existential knowledge present in Karl Rahner s (1904-1984) Theology of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, as a way to see the Theological Anthropology in the form of Christian existence. Also, a second aim, as long as part of this proposed study, is find criteria to develop a literary reason, as far as formal element concerned to pathodicy, and consequently even the theopatodicy. And thus resulting in what we call poetic theological thought as a way of uncovering meaning, as well a proper way to make explicit the existential element of theological formulas for a loan thinking of Literature.

Abstract:

Cette thèse a pour objet de comprendre ce que représente la néologie dans le contexte de la littérature pour la jeunesse.Pour cela, une typologie des procédés de création lexicale est proposée, pour des occasionnalismes relevés dans un corpus de littérature pour la jeunesse. La taxonomie reprend les matrices lexicogéniques de Jean Tournier [1985] avec trois macro-mécanismes : néologie morphosémantique, sémantique et morphologique. Quatre procédés ont été identifiés dans cette thèse : formation lexicale, déformation lexicale, création lexicale et emprunt. Les innovations lexicales ne se limitent pas à des procédés lexicologiques. Certaines figures de style donnent également lieu à la formation d’occasionnalismes. Les matrices de Tournier ont donc été enrichies pour inclure tous les procédés identifiés par le biais d’un raisonnement inductif dans le cadre d’une étude exploratoire du corpus.Pour les besoins de cette thèse, un corpus de littérature pour la jeunesse a été constitué, comportant des œuvres représentatives des XIX° et XX° siècles en anglais, français, allemand et italien avec leurs traductions dans les trois autres langues. Le corpus comprend plus de neuf millions de mots. Il est aligné, ce qui permet des études contrastives.Cette thèse analyse également la fonction des occasionnalismes (effet sonore, jeu de mots, fonction ostentatoire, anti-naming [une forme de nonsense], hypostatisation, fonction déictique et euphémisme) ainsi que les stratégies de traduction les concernant (selon les procédés de formation des occasionnalismes ou selon la fonction qu’ils occupent dans la langue source).Dans le contexte de la littérature pour la jeunesse, la plupart des occasionnalismes ne sont pas créés pour être vecteurs de sens (ou combler un vide lexical). Ils jouent un rôle métalinguistique et didactique en invitant le lecteur à s’interroger sur les normes linguistiques
This thesis aims to understand what neology encompasses in the context of children’s literature. To this end, a typology of nonce formations is established to categorise occasionalisms identified in a corpus of children’s books. This classification follows Jean Tournier’s lexicogenic matrices [1985] with three macro-mechanisms: morpho-semantic, semantic and morphological neology. Four nonce formation processes were identified in this study: word formation, word de-formation, word creation and borrowing. Lexical innovations are not confined to lexicological processes. Some occasionalisms result from stylistic features. Thus, Tournier’s matrices were enhanced to include all nonce formation processes following inductive reasoning in a corpus-driven approach.For the purpose of this study a corpus of children’s books was compiled. It includes classics from the 19th and 20th century written in English, French, German and Italian with their translations in the respective languages. The corpus is made of over nine million words. It is aligned to enable contrastive analysis.This thesis also reviews the function of occasionalisms (sound effect, wordplay, attention-seeking device, anti-naming, hypostatization, deictic reference, and euphemism) and their translation (either based on the nonce formation process or reproducing the function in the source language).In the context of children’s literature, most occasionalisms are not coined for the purpose of carrying meaning (or filling a lexical gap). They play a metalinguistic and didactic role, inviting the reader to reflect on linguistic norms

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The dissertation sets out to explore the existing scholarly literature on the role of the church in economic development. The research report method will be in the form of a literature review and therefore will be exploratory in nature in the hope to inform the researcher of the views of scholars on the role of the church in economic development as well as possibly preparing the way for further research into investigating this role. Chapter 1 presents the research methodology that will be employed as well as the objectives that the research hopes to achieve, include: - To investigate what Biblical scholars understand about the role of the church with regard to economic development by reviewing the existing body of knowledge on the role of the church and economic development; - To discover what the most authoritative views and accepted definitions are on the concepts under study; - To make possible recommendations to the church based on the findings of current and previous literature. In Chapter 2 a literature study explores the views of scholars on the meaning of 'the church' in order to investigate or establish what is understood by the concept'the church'. This chapter will further explore what is meant by the mandate of the church, the missional and diaconal role of the church, the church as visible sign of God's saving work and the church and liberation role of the church. This study sets itself the task to investigate literature on the history and the context of the church as a constituent body in the world and then attempt to find a form of consensus on the role of the church. Chapter 3 will have a particular focus on exploring the views of scholars on the meaning of development and economic development. This literature review will take a multi disciplinary approach therefore this chapter will have a particular focus on the view of scholars in economic development studies. Chapter 4 examines the views of scholars on the role of the church in economic development. This chapter seeks to investigate if the church has a role to play in economic development as one of the role players in the fight against poverty, unemployment and the establishment of effective development programs. Finally, the overall summary, conclusion and recommendations are presented in Chapter 5.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie het ten doel om verkennend na literatuur te kyk wat handel oor die rol van die Kerk in Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling deur na te speur oor wat deur kenners geskryf is oor die rol van die Kerk in Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling. Die navorsingsmetode wat vir Hierdie studie gebruik sal word neem die vorm aan van `n literatuuroorsig en sal dus daarom verkennend van aard wees in die hoop dat dit die navorser sal inlig oor wat kenners skryf oor die rol van die Kerk in Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling sowel as om die weg te baan vir die moontlikheid om verder navorsing te doen oor die rol van die Kerk in Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling. Hoofstuk een spel aan ons uit die navorsingsmetode wat vir hierdie navorsingstudie gebruik sal word sowel as wat die beoogde doelwitte is wat die navorser hoop om te bereik na aanleiding van die kwessies soos: - Om na te vors wat Bybelkenners verstaan van die Kerk met betrekking tot ekonomiese ontwikkeling, deur na die beskikbare bronne te kyk wat handel oor die rol van die kerk in ekonomiese ontwikkeling; - Om vas te stel wat die mees gesaghebbendste sienings en aanvaarde definisies is oor die konsepte onder bespreking in die studie; - Om moontlike aanbevelings vir die kerk te maak gebasseer op die bevindinge voortspruitend uit die navorsing van die huidige en vorige literatuur. In Hoofstuk 2 word n literatuur studie gedoen wat verkennend kyk na standpunte van kundiges rondom die betekenis van 'kerk' ten einde te ondersoek en of vas te stel wat word verstaan deur die kosep kerk, die mandaat van die kerk, die missionale en diakonale taak van die kerk, die kerk as sigbare teken van God se reddened werk en die kerk en bevryding ten einde in staat te wees om `n moontlike verstaan daar te stel oor die rol van die kerk. Hierdie literatuuroorsigstudie volg `n multi disiplinêre benadering ten einde die navorser in te lig oor ekonomiese ontwikkeling. Hoofstuk 3 het `n spesifieke fokus om verkennend te kyk na wat kundiges verstaan ontwikkeling en ekonomiese ontwikkeling te wees. Hoofstuk 4 ondersoek die standpunte en sienings van kenners oor die rol van die kerk in ekonomise ontwikkeling. Hierdie hoofstuk wys onder meer uit dat die kerk tog op `n manier betrokke is in ekonomiese ontwikkeling as rolspeler in die stryd teen armoede, werkloosheid en die daarstel van effektiewe ontwikkelingsprogramme. Die algehele opsomming, slot en aanbevelings word in Hoostuk 5 bespreek.
