Christianity under indigenous leadership in Zimbabwe : whither the church's inculturation of the Shona views on death and afterlifeHwata, Benny 01 1900 (has links)
Early Christian missionaries alienated Shona people from their culture and traditional religion. Essential elements of Shona religion were rejected because they were thought to be entertaining paganism, fetishism and idolatry. More than a century of Christianity in Zimbabwe has passed and some Shona still hold on tenaciously to their ancestral religion. The missionaries did not understand Shona language and may have been ignorant of the significance of the Shona religion to the Shona people. However, with the transfer of power from colonial masters to black rule, one would have expected parallel changes concerning creative integration of indigenous cultural values with the Gospel. But today, forty years after independence, not a single Church denomination in Zimbabwe (Mainline Churches, Evangelical Churches and Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches) seems to have made any ‘meaningful adaption’ of the Shona views on death and afterlife, in the light of the Bible, and in particular, the Gospel. Several elements in Shona traditional beliefs on death and afterlife have been proposed for inculturation. In spite of the proposals put forward by various scholars, even the indigenous Church leaders in Zimbabwe seem to have failed to fully adapt the Shona views into the Christian Gospel message, despite the fact that they fully understand and appreciate the Shona culture and values. A literature review will help to extract information from current and past studies underlying this field. The principles followed on comprehending and solving problems, and the methods and methodology employed in the study, will be made explicit. A detailed examination of the Shona views on death and afterlife which the Zimbabwean Church is expected to possibly incorporate into their worship, and the precepts on the eschatological perspective of Christianity on death, resurrection and afterlife, will be conducted. Definition and analysis of the terms ‘dialogue’ and ‘inculturation’, and the progress achieved on dialogue and inculturation, by the Church in Zimbabwe, will follow. The challenges confronting the Church in Zimbabwe, and the Shona Christians, will be investigated, while theological arguments will be employed to identify gaps in knowledge in the previous literature. The study will suggest possible proposals on the way forward. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / PhD. (Systematic Theology)

Johannese perspektiewe oor inklusiwiteit en eksklusiwiteit van verlossing / Johannine perspectives on inclusivity and exclusivity of salvationRousseau, Pieter Abraham 06 1900 (has links)
Die Johannese geskrifte (Evangelie en Briewe) word veralgemenend binne
die Christendom gelees en die uniekheidsbeklemtoninge ten opsigte van
Jesus as enige Verlosser word ook so verstaan.
Hierdie hoofsaaklik sosiaal-wetenskaplike ondersoek was gefokus op Johannes
se aansprake ten opsigte van Jesus en is gedoen om bewus te maak
van die sosiaal-kulturele onderbou van die geskrifte. As sodanig is dit bedoe!
om heuristies in te werk ten einde bestaande hermeneuse beter te dien
sodat die boodskap van die Nuwe Testament effektiewer oorgedra kan
word. Dit is ook gepoog om bevindinge uit die studie deur te trek na die gesekulariseerde
samelewing en pluralistiese religieuse standpunt wat te Iande
bestaan.
Die teksgedeeltes wat eksegeties ondersoek is, bevat die aspekte van aanvaarding
of verwerping van Jesus as die unieke Godsagent wat ewige /ewe
meedeel. Dit het geblyk dat die begrip in Johannes nie net op oneindigheid
in die hiemamaals dui nie, maar veral op kwaliteit in die hede. Johannes se
postulaat is dat Jesus konstant hierdie lewe meedeel aan hulle wat in Hom
glo.
Die vraag na relevansie van 'n religie uit Judaistiese oorsprong in 'n AfroWesterse
samelewing en kultuur is vanuit die aspekte van kulturele relatiwisme
en relatiwiteit hanteer. Dit word aanvaar dat die ingrype van God
deur Jesus Christus binne die Israelitiese volksmilieu en Mediterreense kultuur
plaasgevind het, maar dat dit wat Johannes aan sy lesers herbevestig
het, vir aile mense relevant is. Jesus is die unieke Godsagent wat ewige
lewe meedeel, wat, as sodanig, nie menslike sterflikheid negeer nie, maar
dit transendeer. / The social-scientific research for this treatise concentrated on John's assertion of Jesus'
uniqueness. The selected Scripture portions for exegesis contain the aspects of receiving
or rejecting Him as God's Agent who bestows eternal life. Eternal lifo in John
does not so much denote never ending life, but rather excellent quality of life in the present.
The relevancy of a religion from a Judaistic origin in an Afro-Western cultural society
was treated on the aspects of cultural relativism and cultural relativity. The conclusion
accedes to the fact that God's interaction with man in the person of Jesus Christ took
place within an Israelite national milieu and Mediterranean culture, but what John reasserted
is relevant for all time- the life that Jesus bestows does not negate mortality,
but transcends it. / New Testament / M. Th. (Nuwe Testament)

The traditional Ba Venda concept of the after-life vis-à-vis, the Bavenda christian understanding of eternal lifeDube, Stephen Maqethuka 30 November 2002 (has links)
This dissertation explores the traditional Ba Venda concept of the after-life vis-a-vis the Ba Venda Christian understanding of eternal life. In this dissertation a historical background of the traditional Ba Venda and how there were reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ will be given. A comparative study of the traditional Ba Venda and Christian Ba Venda beliefs and practices is given. It will be noted that the Ba Venda Christians of BeitBridge district revert to traditional beliefs and practices concerning the dead. These rituals carried out by the Ba Venda Christians show the syncretistic elements practiced. A central question therefore is "Are the Ba Venda Christians operating on the basis of Christian concept of death and hereafter?" It is argued in this dissertation that the Ba Venda Christian concept of death and after life is the blending of Ba Venda Christian and Ba Venda traditional beliefs and practices, particularly when it comes to death and burial practices. / Religious studies / M.A.(Religious)
