Sin In Cultural Context - Understanding The Old Testament Notion Of ''Sin'' Among The Kongo People Of Brazzaville

de Muri Sabine Muri

19,88€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 To be relevant, all theology must relate to context. This study is an example of the complexities encountered in the actual practice of contextualization. It examines the notion of "sin" in the Kongo culture and evaluates it through the lens of the Old Testament understanding of sin. In the Kongo context, sin is understood as any act that breaks the harmony of the community, allowing any kind of evil to enter it. This understanding can be nuanced by comparison with the biblical view of sin as always being committed before God, the creator of the world and the one to whom all human beings owe their life. The rich imagery for sin in the Old Testament cannot be captured by the one Kongo word disumu; a wider vocabulary can and must be developed.

Microfinance In Sub-Saharan Africa - Responding To The Voices Of Poor People

de Banda Mutalima Irene Banda Mutalima

18,55€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Poverty reduction through microfinance is tied to the belief that access to credit enables poor people to increase business earnings and improve livelihoods. Often the church has embraced microfinance as part of its theology of social transformation. Microfinance practitioners, therefore, must prudently manage their institutions and ensure improvements in poor people's lives--a complex combination, given that livelihood changes can only be confirmed by people experiencing poverty. This mini book comes out of research to investigate how poor people can inform microfinance practitioners for improved livelihoods. Based on interactions with the Chinyika Community in rural Zimbabwe and the COSUN women's group of peri-urban Zambia, the book allows their voices to offer lessons for microfinance practitioners.The key finding of the research is the value of genuine "dialogue space" where poor people can influence beneficial actions. To counter the challenges of limited capacity to recognize root causes of poverty, and the lack of informed competence to negotiate livelihood solutions, the research recommends that community leadership engender safe community dialogue spaces for individual and collective agency, with the ability to identify root problems and trigger appropriate actions before livelihoods deteriorate. The research identifies the church as one such credible community leader.

To Fulfil, Not To Destroy - Christ As The Fulfilment Of Hindu Religious Experience In Indian Christian Theology

de Satyavrata Ivan M. Satyavrata

21,19€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In today''s globalized world, as we struggle desperately for social harmony amid growing religious fundamentalism and militancy, Christians convinced of Christ''s universal relevance are often hard pressed to find a way to communicate that relevance faithfully and respectfully. The term "fulfillment" broadly characterizes a framework of engagement rooted in the New Testament, which emerges at various moments in the church''s encounter with other faiths. This approach seeks to affirm Christ''s absolute and universal Lordship while demonstrating sensitivity and respect for the religious experience of people of other faiths. This study presents a case for the revitalization of this fulfillment tradition based on a recovery and assessment of the fulfillment approaches of Hindu converts to Christ in pre-independence India.

Transcending The Modern Mission Tradition

de Stroope Michael Stroope

23,84€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The urgent task of our day is to reimagine the church''s witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet, a mere attempt to rehabilitate or revise the modern mission tradition will not do. Mission as a rhetorical and conceptual framework is the problem. The ethos and spirit of modernity, with its ideas of progress, individualism, commodification, and conquest, are hardwired into mission. Thus, this modern mental model undermines faithful witness and service. Now is the time to transcend the modern mission tradition--to become pilgrim witnesses.
