In the post-industrialization era, spirituality has gone through many shifts. Specifically, perceptions of spirituality have changed for the worst after 9/11, which inspired several movies in portraying spirituality within the society in science fiction movies. Children of Men (2006) is one of science fiction movies that portray biblical apocalyptic narratives in which spirituality is a crucial element in the movie, indicating how influential spirituality is in popular culture. This research paper aims to analyze how modern spirituality is represented through the shift from Weber's concept of disenchantment to Jenkin's concept of re-enchantment, examining how it affects oneself in the biblical apocalyptic narrative. The representation is analyzed by focusing on a huge alteration that resulted from the attack of 9/11, which affects how the disenchanted society in the movie deals with the gloom of apocalypse. These responses lead to re-enchantment as the movie incorporates biblical allegories that represent hope for tomorrow, which is fundamental teaching for most religions.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article attempts to treat the exclusion of individuals from the community as a topic of biblical theology. It focuses on the neglected rationale or motives of exclusion rather than the practicalities of exclusion (i.e., who gets excluded? in what way? for which sins? by whom?). Five motifs or images serve as lenses to focus and guide the reading of the relevant texts and assist in the task of synthesis. In sum, serious offenders are excluded because of the solidarity of the community, in order to maintain the holiness of the group, due to a breach of covenant, in the hope of restoration and because of the prospect of salvation. By way of conclusion some reflections are offered on the relevance of this teaching for biblical theology in general and for the practice of church discipline today.

AbstractIn the present climate of debate surrounding United States immigration, both legal and illegal, the call to be neighbour and to exercise hospitality that echoes throughout the biblical tradition provides valid and unequivocal dimensions of a Christian spirituality within the horizon of the immigration discussion. This article traces the development of such a spirituality beginning with the Jewish scriptures, the ministry of Jesus in the gospels and Catholic social teaching. It concludes with a spirituality rooted in the American memory that offers promise and hope and proclaims the best of the American spirit.

The current Covid-19 pandemic has led to existential crises throughout the whole world. It has affected many aspects of human life. It has caused fear, anxiety, despair and even death of millions of people. This article focuses on the importance and meaningfulness of hope in God in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis. In Christian theology, hope is one of the theological virtues. It has become increasingly important and urgent for Christians and theologians to reflect on hope in God as the ultimate source of hope for humankind in such a time like this. In the midst of the widespread of various misinterpretations of the Covid-19 pandemic, Christians and theologians are called to contribute their theological reflections for the betterment of individuals, societies and humanity at large especially in coping with and responding to the pandemic crisis. The method applied in this article is qualitative, i.e. by studying in depth biblical sources, magisterial documents and Catholic teaching on theme of hope in God as a theological virtue and other sources that are related to the topic of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This paper makes use of leading New Testament scholar NT Wright’s presentation of the biblical understanding of the kingdom to assess—on the basis of Orthodox Christian theologian John Zizioulas’ own critique—the Orthodox liturgical enactment of the kingdom and age to come. We will explore how Wright and Zizioulas describe the principles of a properly kingdom-oriented worship. Finally, we will examine Wright’s critical realism as a potential model for understanding how enacting the age to come in worship could shape the kingdom narrative of its participants. Thus, while Wright’s immediate goal in his engagement of the theme of the kingdom of God may be to correct a longstanding misreading of the New Testament, his teaching ultimately enables us to propose a way of accomplishing Zizioulas’ hope of renewing the full narrative of the age to come in Orthodox worship.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Death is a boundary situation that all human beings face at the end of their life. Even when Church’s teaching on afterlife has been widely accepted by the faithful, most Christians still find it hard to accept death as part of their life. Some of the faithful tend to avoid or to question the situation and the people accompanying them because of their unreadiness in facing death. Christians are invited to accept and to recognise death as an inevitable fact, but also as a reality that brings hope for resurrection and everlasting life. This article attempts to explore some biblical, philosophical, and theological perspectives that can underline interrelatedness among death, resurrection, and the everlasting life. Christian reflections of death can be illuminating when seen as perfection and fulfilment of humanity, as a transformation process of human’s life, and as the faithful’s journey towards God the Father.

The richness of St. John Paul II’s social teachings is so great that some compare it to the achievements of Leo XIII. His specific approach to social issues and to everyday human life should be called ‘social personalism”. His social teaching is extensive, and abundant in theories, tackling the most current and difficult problems of the modern times, focusing primarily on defending of human beings from the external threats of totalitarianisms and dictatorships, as well as from the internal pressure of erroneous ideologies. However a lot has been changed since the John Paul II’s era, the imperative in his teaching to establish and proclaim the full truth about the man, his personal dignity, his conscience, as well as his temporal and eschatological vocation still remains relevant, posing a challenge to the successive generations. He built his social teaching with a strong dependence on the Biblical contents and the Magisterium of the Church. He wanted it to serve not just as a theoretical approach of the Magisterium to the everyday social issues, but to sound as the Gospel in the ears of the modern man. He put together social philosophy with theology of worldly matters, economics with eschatology, ethics with kerygma. Thanks to John Paul II, the Church's social teaching has taken on the sound of a prophetic vision that restores to people the joy of life and the hope of regaining of the meaning in building the world together and increasing the value of the quality of human relationships in it. Without the prospect of the eternal life and the Redemption, social issues would have become just an ideology seasoned with the Catholicism. Thanks to the Polish Pope, they began to sound like a social Gospel.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The observance of the Ascension of Christ is not really a prime celebration in most Protestant churches. Even examples of congregational practices related to the celebration of Ascension Day throughout Christian worship history are scarce. Most Christians go through this celebration without much consideration on how the ascended Christ influences life in the here and now. Most would probably view Christ as the heavenly king and unconsciously ignore the fact that Christ ascended as the high priest who can empathize with his people. Although Indonesia treats this Christological event as a public holiday, the preparation leading to the celebration is not as significant as other commemorations like Good Friday, Easter, and Christmas. The consequence is that Christians do not have a meaningful worship experience that may inspire them to endure the life of daily discipleship. Thus, the focus of this article is on understanding the significance of Christ’s ascension and how the church can celebrate Ascension Day in ways that help Christians live according to Christ’s teaching and hope for the future. This article will reconsider the biblical and theological foundations of the ascension to develop worship that strengthens the identity of Christians for daily discipleship.

On the occasion of 100 years of existence and activity of Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna, one may sum up the contribution of the Faculty of Theology which has existed as part of the uni- versity for 20 years. This contribution has concerned the research and teaching arenas combined with a commitment for the social community of the Wielkopolska province. What is specific of the faculty is its ability to work both on the scientific and didactic levels as well as on the church level, which requires considerable knowledge and time in order to competently combine the requirements of working at university with demands of the Catholic Church managed by the Second Vatican Council. The scientific and popular scientific initiatives in the widely understood biblical studies represent a valuable contribution to the celebration of 100 years of the Pozna university. Like other scientific disciplines, they can proudly make their own contribution to the development of sci- ence in our city, as well as the entire country. One can only hope that the present generation of sci- entists will take the baton passed to them in the relay race of generations, and will make their own contribution to the science thereby honouring Pozna as an important scientific centre in Poland.

Esterhuizen, Elizabeth. "A study of the tension between despair and hope in Isaiah 7 and 8 from a perspective of trauma and posttraumatic growth". Thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/22263.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Isaiah 7 and 8 are set against the Syro-Ephraimite war and the looming threat of an Assyrian invasion. The historical and social circumstances are laced with tension of despair and hope in the pending crisis. These two chapters are also the starting point of Isaiah prophetic utterances directed at King Ahaz and the people of Judah. From the outset of chapter 7, notions of tension between Isaiah and King Ahaz can be detected. In chapter 8, these notions of tension become further more evident in the oracles of Isaiah. Chapter 7 and 8 also contains oracles that give prominence to the three children with the symbolic names of Shear-jashub, Immanuel and Maher-shalal-hash-baz. The messages of the children’s oracles are the same that is to trust Yahweh and not to despair in their faith. This study investigates the tension between despair and hope in Isaiah 7 and 8 from a perspective of trauma and posttraumatic growth.
To understand trauma within a theological discourse, more precisely, with
regards to chapters 7 and 8, this study will provide an overview on trauma and trauma tendencies. This research endeavour also addresses biblical trauma and trauma in prophesy to gain an understanding how to read Isaiah 7 and 8 through a trauma lens. The expositional study of chapters 7 and 8 forms the foundation of the study to identify the notions of despair and hope within the text. A notable theme in Isaiah 7 and 8 is the tension triangle between Ahaz, Isaiah and Yahweh, and the research explores the significance thereof in the pending crisis. Isaiah 7 and 8 reports the metaphorical action behind the names of Isaiah’s children and this study attempts to address the trauma and posttraumatic growth implications of these names. These names construe a prophetic message of despair and judgment but similarly also a message of hope and future expectations.Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This dissertation argues for the hope that is found in G. C. Berkouwer’s
doctrines of providence and bodily resurrection in relation to the terrorist attack
on September 11, 2001, and the rising pervasiveness of the doctrine of hyperpreterism
among American Reformed circles.
In Part I of the dissertation, Berkouwer’s doctrine of providence is
explained and then evaluated and applied. By way of explanation and
exposition, Berkouwer’s knowledge of providence is examined, along with his
theology of providence in sustenance and government, in relation to miracles,
and the dilemma of the existence of God and evil. Following that is an
evaluation and application of the doctrine to the 9/11 terrorist attack on America.
In Part II, a theological/doctrinal study is undertaken concerning the
doctrine of resurrection. Hyper-preterism is examined, along with its leading
proponents, and placed into interaction with Berkouwer’s views of the doctrine
of the physical resurrection of the body at the eschaton.Theology

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Through a critical-functional, rather than literal, reading of the text of Revelation, this dissertation hypothesises a move beyond the paralysing constant reduction of hermeneutic meaning to two conventional poles when discussing hope – the early Christian movement’s hope through reversal, and contemporary nihilism. In order to do so in a responsible manner, it is necessary to study other research done on the topics of eschatology and hope – especially as seen in the book of Revelation. For this reason, the most popular and representative scholars of the Book of Revelation are studied. This overall look at current scholarships' views regarding the Apocalypse will help detect any possible missing elements in our approach to Revelation.
But no study of this topic can be considered near complete if other disciplines are not involved; in this case especially when moving on to a critical-functional reading of Revelation. This thesis thus features an exploratory study of the functioning of ritual and hope within the human psyche; from archaeological to psychological perspectives. This emphasises the importance of, and leads into, the possibilities of a functional reading of the Book of Revelation.
All of the above work leads to a re-evaluation of the success of hope as metanarrative for today. The suggestion is that Christian hope is not imaginary, but is irreducibly imaginative. For “reality is never just the world as it exists; it is the world as it is experienced through the lenses of social perception” (Barr 2010:636).New Testament

In this Master's dissertation, I would like to explore a symbolic reading of John 11 (The raising of Lazarus) from the perspective of the church's mission to bring about the liberation of the poor. I believe that as one does so, one might discover that in the Gospel writer's original intention, the figure of Lazarus may never have been intended as a literal historical person, but rather as a symbolic representation of the poor, the marginalized and the oppressed. Such a reading of John 11 might throw new light on the Fourth Gospel's understanding of Jesus and his mission. In doing so, I believe that John 11 might become a foundational text to guide and motivate committed Christian mission in favour of the poor.Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology

Abstract To begin with a clarification: I speak of “teaching Quranic Studies” rather than of “teaching the Quran” in order to emphasize the range and complexity of this subject field. The Quran, like the New Testament, is not a big book, but Quranic Studies, like Biblical Studies, is a vast, multilayered discipline, one which no single scholar can hope to master in all its intricacy and diversity Within the field of Religious Studies, the status and scope of Biblical Studies are readily manifest. In North America, the Society for Biblical Literature (SBL), with a membership of nearly 7,000, almost equals the size of the American Academy of Religion (AAR), a professional organization that purports to represent scholars of all other scriptural and religious traditions combined.

Abstract As THE familiar hymn expresses it, the Church is always “by heresies distressed.” This work has attempted to state what it is that is particularly distressing about a revitalized gnostic heresy in our own day. It would be a serious mistake, however, to conclude that the problems confronting contemporary Protestantism are overwhelming or insoluble. Every generation of the Church has been threatened in one way or another by a teaching counter to biblical truth. Often the counter-teaching has been so attractive that it has almost captured the Church itself. Gnosticism in its various guises has on several occasions been especially powerful and apparently close to victory. “Mani,” as Runciman reminds us, “began his preaching at Ctesiphon in Mesopotamia in A.D. 242 ... [and] within a century of his death ... it seemed not unlikely that Mani’s faith would dominate the world.” Valentinus, often considered the ablest theologian among the ancient heresiarchs, was in the running for and perhaps almost achieved the bishopric of Rome. The extent of gnostic appeal in the fourth century is evident in the fact that the young Ambrose had been a Marcionite and Augustine a Manichee. If those spiritual sojourners could find their way out of the alluring mists of gnostic thought into the clear atmosphere of orthodox faith, indeed to become teaching doctors of that faith, surely there is hope for us.

In the thirty years before the Civil War, hundreds of works applied scriptural teaching to adjudicate the American system of slavery. Defenders of slavery from the Bible included virtually all southern whites, but also a very large number of northern biblical interpreters. The latter often expressed hope for the eventual elimination of slavery but could not see how faithfulness to Scripture allowed slavery to be called a malum in se (an evil in itself). While only minor differences were found in proslavery uses of Scripture, antislavery voices differed radically among themselves. Some abolitionists dueled proof-text for proof-text. Others stressed the context of biblical writings to show why Scripture disallowed slavery. Still others applied “history,” although “history” meaning several different things, to interpret passages thought to legitimate slavery as preparing for the modern recognition that slavery was evil. On questions of race, white biblical interpreters only rarely paused to recognize that, whatever the Bible said about slavery, it nowhere offered any sanction to the form of Black-only enslavement practiced in the United States.

Framed by a visit to the Teach Them Diligently Christian Homeschooling Convention, the largest event of its kind, this chapter explores the large and growing phenomena of Christian homeschooling. Christian homeschooling differs from its secular, alternative lifestyle counterpart by a strong commitment to biblical teachings about family, science, and a concomitant conservative antipathy to so-called “government schooling.” At its oldest and simplest it embraces Anabaptist groups, who offer the most basic lessons to the rest of the community. Ken Hamm, and “young Earth creationists” (who argue for six actual days of creation and a maximum Earth age of 10,000 years are even more influential in the community, as are the Family Research Council, and groups urging women to have as many children as possible for biblical reasons. One of the interesting features of the movement is how many of today’s southern homeschooling parents were themselves the products of an earlier generation of the “Christian academies” devised in the 1960s and 1970s to avoid racial integration. Now that these same academies are mostly integrated, there is some evidence that the contemporary practice of educating one’s children at home (an activity differentially preferred by whites) has the effect of furthering educational segregation.

This chapter traces the results of evangelical immigration activism, covering the years between 2009 and 2014. By proposing a concept based both on justice and on compassion, evangelical immigration activists resurrected the biblical teachings to care for the “stranger” and reshaped the theology of hospitality in order to meet evangelical concerns about the rule of law. The chapter highlights the crucial role that Latinx evangelical leaders played in placing immigration on the evangelical agenda. They were joined by evangelical leaders who brought a renewed focus on social justice into their organizations. They came together in the Evangelical Immigration Table, a group founded in 2012, which hoped to change both evangelical immigration attitudes and immigration policy at the national level. The results of their activism are mixed: while surveys showed increasing evangelical support for immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship, this support failed to translate into electoral choices.

Abstract Amos Funkenstein (1937-1995) was, at the time of his death, professor of Jewish studies at the University of California at Berkeley. He previously held appointments at UCLA and at Tel Aviv and Stanford universities. He came from a very Orthodox religious home in Jerusalem and received a traditional Jewish education in some of the best Orthodox schools in the city. However, as a teenager, he already declared his lack of belief in God. He continued his advanced studies for one year at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and then, in 1958, went to Germany where he received his B.A. and, in 1965, his doctorate in philosophy from the Free University of Berlin for a dissertation entitled Heilsplan and naturliche Entwicklung. He then came to America to begin his teaching career at UCLA in 1967. His two major intellectual interests were the emergence of modem science and its impact on modem philosophy, as analyzed especially in his important 1986 study, Theology and the Scientific Imagination, and Jewish philosophy in all its forms in both the medieval and modem periods. He wrote a substantial book on Maimonides, the greatest of the medieval Jewish philosophers, as well as important studies of the major medieval Jewish biblical commentator and kabbalist Moses ben Nalman (Nalmanides). He felt very strongly that knowledge of this medieval tradition was required in order to fully understand modem Jewish thought. At the same time, his long years of study in Germany made him especially familiar with and sympathetic to the long line of modem Jewish philosophers from Moses Mendelssohn to Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig, though he did not share their religious beliefs. In addition, he had deep interests in the philosophy of history, Jewish history, and the history of biblical exegesis. A polymath, his work ranges over a wide variety of eras and subjects.

Abstract The Piltdown skull is probably the most famous and successful hoax in the history of science. It broke upon the turbulent and divided sodality of anthropologists on eighteenth December 1912 at a meeting in London of the Geological Society. The affair had been incubating for nearly four years, ever since a prominent amateur archaeologist, Charles Dawson, had come by some fragments of a human skull. They had been unearthed by workmen in a gravel pit at Piltdown in Sussex. Dawson, who had always hoped that the Sussex Downs would yield up prehistoric human remains, eagerly sifted through the spoil at the pit and found more fragments of ancient, deeply stained bone, together with worked flints and animal remains. Excited, he alerted his friend, Arthur Smith Woodward, Keeper of Palaeontology at the Natural History Museum (then still an arm of the British Museum) in London, and a young Frenchman, whom he had befriended while digging in Sussex. This was none other than Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who was to become a cult figure 50 years on, through his mystical conceptions of the noosphere and the omega point, elaborated in his book The Phenomenon of Man, which sought to reconcile biblical teaching with evolution.

He would not rest, he said, until Israel and Egypt were reconciled and the last guinea worm was exterminated. But he and Rosalynn traveled less, and he was more often found in Plains on Sunday mornings teaching a Sunday School class at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, which attracted visitors from across the country and around the world who wanted to hear him related a biblically based message to his history and to current events. He and Rosalynn wrote Op-ed pieces, occasionally gave speeches, and he published a moving autobiography, A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety. When Rosalynn was recovering from a life-threatening surgery, he wrote Faith: A Journey for All. Although age, health issues, a pandemic, the waxing of conservative US politics, forced his and Rosalynn’s retreat to their home in Plains, he made his voice known with brief public statements and occasional cameo appearance at his home. He and Rosalynn celebrated their seventy-fifth wedding anniversary on July 7, 2021, and in 2022 their Carter Center that waged peace, fought disease, and promoted democracy around the world was a living institution that sealed their reputations as giants among peacemakers and humanitarians.
