The great majority of people in Latin America are poor and oppressed. Theologians have the challenge to present the gospel as good news despite the fact that their lives are at risk in most places regardless of the ideology they endorse. To do this, theologians need more than church doctrines, creeds, and traditions to sustain them in ministry. The kingdom of God provides them the eschatological answer and guides them in preaching the gospel as good news by promoting justice and peace. Based on Rahner’s critique of Aquinas, Latin American theologians have been working on a Christology that sees the importance of the humanity of Jesus and its implications for theology and anthropology. For theology, theologians no longer assume that...

Conversion to Christianity is the religious conversion of a previously non-Christian person to some form of Christianity. It has been called the foundational experience of Christian life. Conversion to Christianity primarily involves belief in God, repentance of sin, and confession of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. While conversion to Christianity may simply involve a personal choice to identify with Christianity rather than with another religion, many Christians understand it to mean that the individual attains eternal salvation by a genuine conversion experience or act—a "radical transformation of self."

The Coptic calendar, also called the Alexandrian calendar, is used by the Coptic Orthodox Church and still used in Egypt. This calendar is based on the ancient Egyptian calendar. To avoid the calendar creep of the latter, a reform of the ancient Egyptian calendar was introduced at the time of Ptolemy III (Decree of Canopus, in 238 BC) which consisted of the intercalation of a sixth epagomenal day every fourth year.

A number of corporations are in use by Jehovah's Witnesses. They publish literature and perform other operational and administrative functions, representing the interests of the religious organization. "The Society" has been used as a collective term for these corporations. The oldest and most prominent of their corporation names, "Watch Tower Society", has also been used synonymously with the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, even in their own literature. Particularly since 2000, Jehovah's Witnesses have maintained a distinction between their corporations and their religious organization, though differences had also been explained decades earlier.

The present analysis situates the thought of S ren Kierkegaard in the context of the language and categories proper to the philosophical world of German Idealism and the Enlightenment. As emphasized in contemporary research, Kierkegaard’s stages are not levels of consciousness of the Absolute, mirroring God’s self-awareness. The stages are shaped by finite human existence, which strives towards identity by successive interpretations of the self in terms of normative presuppositions. Nevertheless, the approach determining Kierkegaard’s philosophy of existence is itself immanent to an idealist method of self-grounding. Such self-grounding is originally conceptualized in Fichte’s interpretation of Kant’s transcendental ego, with...

It is mainly derived from the Qur'an, Hadith, Sunnah, and current Islamic as well as other pre-Islamic sources. The Qur'an itself mentions seven heavens and a vast universe sustained by Allah. Islamic thought categorizes the entire cosmos into two domains: the Unseen Universe, which is imperceptible to mankind in general, has properties unknown to us, and includes Allah, angels, Paradise, Hell, seven heavens, and Al-Arsh (the Divine Throne); and the Observable Universe, perceptible through the five senses. The Qur'an says: "Allah is He, Who is the only God, the knower of the Unseen and the Observed." In Islamic countries nowadays -...

Isaiah? creation thought is often understood in one of three ways: as subordinate to salvation theology, as being a foundational concept, or as being inextricably linked to salvation theology. This study shows that Isaiah?s creation thought is a foundational theme in Isaiah and occurs throughout the book, with a concentration in chaps. 40-55. It impacts the book structurally and conceptually, undergirding all other themes. Moreover, Isaiah?s creation thought is multidimensional and functions on the cosmological (primordial), historical, and eschatological levels. Isaiah?s creation thought has important theological ramifications in so far as it is Isaiah?s consummate conceptualisation of God. For Isaiah, God is first and foremost the...

John Wesley emphasized direct, one-on-one contact with people who live in poverty as a key component of vital discipleship. The church seeks to be faithful in this regard with renewed initiative to create community with children and the poor. Creation Vacation camps are the response of local congregations, working through Camp and Retreat Ministries. Creation Vacation is based on a general truth--that people don't care about, or care for, what they don't know--or, to state it positively -- If people living in urban poverty housing are to know and care for the glory of God's creation, they need a respite from stress, positive outdoor experiences, and supported opportunities for re-creation -- what many of us call a vacation: in this case,...

The United States of America has been called a "Christian nation." Yet what does that mean? More importantly, where did this idea come from? This work sets to answer both of those questions by looking at the development of "Protestant nationalism"--a movement following the Civil War that infused Protestant religious ideology with ideas of Americanism. At it's core, Protestant nationalism was built on the idea of reform--reform for a country divided and reform of an American people who strayed from their faith. Those success however, transformed Protestant nationalism into a cultural movement, one that sought to define the nation in distinct socio-religious terms. From 1870-1920, this movement proved successful in that endeavor....
