Complexities Of Money And Missions In Asia

13,24€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Navigating Financial Tensions in Asian Missions What happens when an expatriate missionary is thrust into a context where the standard of living is so divergent that perceived or actual wealth suddenly becomes the strongest draw of attraction? What actual message is communicated through the wordless witness of the Western Christian missionary lifestyle? Is attention to so-called good news now so financially focused that other foundational issues become overshadowed? This issue becomes even more complicated when the missionary arrives clueless about personal privilege, ignorant of the envy of others, and carries the mistaken attitude that others think similarly. SEANET proudly presents Complexities of Money and Missions in Asia for all who are asking such questions. From seven different indigenous and expatriate perspectives this volume deals with the perceptions of money specifically from those seeking to serve obediently in the Buddhist contexts of Asia. SEANET serves as a networking forum wherein groups and individuals can meet to reflect and strategize together on topics particular to their collective mission. SEANET does not promote one particular strategy or one particular theology but seeks to learn from models of hope that show what God is doing around the world. Each year the annual SEANET conference brings together over one hundred and fifty practitioners who are privileged to live and serve throughout the Buddhist world. The chapters of this volume represent seven of those voices from the network.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Missional Impact of Social Networks If Christian mission in Asia and most of the non-Western world is ever to advance, it must seriously consider the importance of family networks.

With this concern in mind, SEANET is proud to present another volume in its series addressing critical missiological issues relevant to the practice of mission in Buddhist, Asian and many other contexts. Family and Faith in Asia: The Missional Impact of Extended Networks attempts to issue a wake-up call to serious reflection on a highly ignored social reality in Buddhist and many other social contexts. The book is a resource useful for anyone wishing to study practical approaches to issues related to family and faith in Asia, particularly in Buddhist contexts for mission.

Suffering - Christian Reflections On The Buddhist Dukkha

13,24€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Christian Reflections on the Buddhist Dukkha What is dukkha? In Buddhism this word encompasses the concepts of dis-ease, unsteadiness, sorrow, and lack of inner calm. In English it is usually translated simply as "suffering". However it is defined, dukkha is central to understanding Buddhism. The Buddha described not only what it was, but taught that there is a way out of it. Suffering is an undeniable theme in both Christianity and Buddhism. Both treat the topic with great intensity. Buddha taught that suffering was inherent to the mortal condition. Christ was born into a life of suffering and called disciples to follow him in this path. Through enlightenment Buddha pointed to a way out of suffering. Through his death Christ suffered once for all. Both groups experience suffering but often talk about it from completely different starting points. Are there insights from each perspective that can inform the other? We believe so. Suffering: Christian Reflections on the Buddhist Dukkha is a collection of articles by Western and non-Western Christ followers for those who want to delve deeper into one important aspect of Buddhist worldview. It is written for the practitioner privileged to live and serve in the Buddhist context. This book is also for the Buddhist seeking to understand the Christian perspective on existence in today’s world where suffering is our ever-present reality.

 We issue this book amidst the challenges arising from the resurgence of religions in the various nations of the post-modern world. As Islamic fundamentalism grabs the headlines, Buddhist fundamentalism has also been on the rise, particularly in Southeast Asia, mainly in reaction to the conversionist incursions of Islam and Christianity among them. Over the last thirty years, Buddhism has also seen growth in the West as it''s non-dogmatic rationality, offer of spiritual mentoring, and opportunity for personal transformation have made it attractive to post-modern society. Are there both theological approaches as well as practical strategies for evangelical christians to use our evangelization efforts among Buddhists--without any unnecessary problems to the increasing conflicts in the encounter of religions? We believe there are. This is the fourth and latest volume in the Buddhist World series which includes Sharing Jesus in the Buddhist World, Sharing Jesus Holistically with the Buddhist World, and Sharing Jesus Effectively in the Buddhist World. Compiled from papers presented at the annual SEANET Missiological Forum in Thailand, Communicating Christ in the Buddhist World delivers fresh insights from mission theologians and practitioners.

The next five chapters consider the significant sociological issues that have arisen in the Christian encounter with Buddhist peoples.
