Paperback. Etat : Good. No two areas have affected Catholic self-understanding and its relations to other peoples of the world than its approach to Christian mission and to the role of religion and the church in society. Before the Vatican Council (1962 - 1965), Catholicism was committed to a dominant role to the detriment of other religions and nonbelievers. Catholic affirmations of freedom and evangelization in matters of religion for all persons creates a whole new context where Catholics predominate, and a whole new set of relations where Catholics participate with others in a pluralist society. How have both non-Catholic societies and the Catholic Church changed over the last forty years because of these two documents? This volume opens a window on these historic developments. Highlights: - Provides both accessible and well documented introduction to the field - Brief, yet carefully researched - A timely commentary, after 40 years of reception, capturing a snapshot of what will be a long development - Written in a nontechnical, readable style - Draws on the expertise of internationally recognized scholars.…

Paperback. Etat : Fair. Stephen B Bevans's Models of Contextual Theology has become a staple in courses on theological method and as a handbook used by missioners and other Christians concerned with the Christian tradition's understanding of itself in relation to culture. First published in 1992 and now in its seventh printing in English, with translations underway into Spanish, Korean, and Indonesian, Bevans's book is a judicious examination of what the terms contextual theology and to contextualize mean. In the revised and expanded edition, Bevans adds a counter-cultural model to the five presented in the first edition -- the translation, the anthropological, the praxis, the synthetic, and the transcendental model. This means that readers will be introduced to the way in which figures such as Stanley Hauerwas, John Milbank, Lesslie Newbigin, and (occasionally) Pope John Paul I need to be taken into account. The author's revisions also incorporate suggestions made by reviewers to enhance the clarity of the original three chapters on the nature of contextual theology and the five models.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Scholars from the United States, Latin America, and Oceania reflect in this volume on the importance of contextual theology for our twenty-first century. Contextual theology offers fresh voices from every culture, and not just from the West. It calls for new ways of doing theology that embrace cultural values, but at the same time challenges them to the core. And it opens up new and fresh topics out of which and about which people can theologize. If the church is to be faithful to its mission, it needs to provide a feast at which all can be nourished.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. These eleven essays originally delivered as the annual Louis J. Luzbetak Lectures at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago focus on the relationship between mission and culture. The authors include missiologists Jos M. de Mesa, Darrell L. Whiteman, Aylward Shorter, John Kirby, and Angelyn Dries, and anthropolgists Linda E. Thomas, Anthony J. Gittens, and Philip Gibbs, and theologians Gemma T. Cruz and Robert J. Schreiter. Moving from Asia to Africa to North America, the essays probe the dynamics of the intersection of mission work and indigenous culture and demonstrate how essential it is for a missioner to have an in-depth understanding of the importance of culture. …

Paperback. Etat : Fair. A collection of essays that demonstrates that to be effective in the twenty-first century, mission must be prophetic as it encounters other cultures and religious traditions. When we speak as mission as dialogue, then, we are about as far away from imagining mission as 'conquering the world for Christ' and missionaries as 'marines of the Catholic Church' as we probably can get. There has indeed been a radical shift, both in the world in which the church does mission and within the church's own consciousness of the goodness and even holiness of that world. These words from one of the essays in this superb collection clearly demonstrate the changing of mission today. In this volume, Fathers Bevans and Schroeder address a primary challenge faced by Christians missioners today: How can they bring the Christian tradition to interact respectfully and effectively with members of other cultures and traditions from around the globe and still be prophetic.…
