Elements of the Prayer of St. Benedict as a foundation for an epistemology of faithBateman, Terence James 08 1900 (has links)
A dynamic interpretation of the Prayer of St. Benedict provides a methodology for understanding and explicating Christian faith consistent with enduring elements in the theological tradition and meaningful to the contemporary milieu. Within the overarching structure of the Prayer as a meta-paradigm, are three subsidiary paradigms that describe characteristics of approaches to faith. The structure, content, and intention of the Prayer reveal these to be experiential, critical, and transcendental. Wisdom is asserted as integrating and orienting the discussion, which is a constructed on a Personalist foundation and is a postcritical reflection on faith. Faith is grounded in the affirmations and assumptions of faith, discerned in the enfolding appeals, and the supplications, a basis for an expository discourse on the dimensions of faith. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)

The theophostic prayer ministry (TPM) : an exploration of its practices and healing possibilitiesCrous, Jacobus Jooste 06 1900 (has links)
As TPM warrants greater attention in the field of practical theology, this thesis is about the
further development of TPM, within Pastoral Theology as well as in its practices. This research
explored if more healing possibilities may emerge when TPM is epistemologically positioned in
social constructionism and has drawn attention to healing possibilities that narrative practices
may open up for TPM. To achieve this, a process of social construction was followed where the
narratives of participants' experiences of the practices of TPM were reflected upon.
The participants related how and why the practices of TPM influenced the way they narrated
their lives. According to their tales the main influencing factor was an authentic encounter with
God, where they experienced that He had experientially entered into a conversation with them
about the way they constructed their realities. By giving His perspective on their beliefs about
memories from their past, He helped them to start processes of reconstructing new preferred life
stories. The importance of the role of a faith community as well as that of significant others also
became evident.
An important contribution of this research is the emphasis that was put on the ‘not-knowing’
position of the facilitator. This is not an authentic TPM-term, but the way the facilitator's role is
described, in the TPM guidelines, is similar to what is understood by that term in social
constructionist therapy approaches. Throughout the research report I indicated the important role
of this position in the helpfulness of TPM. It became clear through the narratives that when the
facilitator's knowing entered the Theophostic process, the process was impeded.
Closely related to this ‘not-knowing’ position, is the ethical accountability of TPM. I indicated
how this position of the facilitator related to the participants' experiences of the facilitator not
being judgemental and being respected for who (s)he is. In judging the authenticity of changes
experienced by the recipients of TPM, I proposed a process of participatory ethics. / Practical Theology / Thesis (D.Th. (Pastoral Therapy)

Mission and spiritual mapping in AfricaVan der Meer, Erwin 11 1900 (has links)
Spiritual mapping is an emerging trend within Evangelicalism which is affecting Christian mission globally. Spiritual mapping maintains that Satan has assigned territorial demons to every geo-political unit in the world. Territorial demons hold the people in their locality in spiritual bondage to sin, false religion or other evils.Spiritual mapping is the practice of identifying these territorial demons in order to loosen the influence of these demons by means of strategic level spiritual warfare
(SLSW). SLSW refers to the practice of 'territorial exorcism' through
identificational repentance, prayer walks, proclamation and other means. Spiritual mapping can be appreciated for its focus on liberating people and societies from evil. However, spiritual mapping and its underlying theology is defective from a biblical, historical and contextual perspective and is potentially harmful for church and mission in Africa. Further missiological reflection on a spiritual warfare dimension in mission is necessary within the global hermeneutical community. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

Poetická imaginace anglikánské spirituality ve vybraných dílech metafyzických básníků 17. století / The Poetic Imagination of Anglican Spirituality in Selected Works of 17th Century Metaphysical PoetsWINSTED, Margareta January 2011 (has links)
The thesis concerns an aspect of poetic imagination in the works of 17th century metaphysical poets and examines the way these poets were influenced by the Church of England. In addition, it identifies elements of Anglican spirituality in their works. The first section analyzes the concept of Christian spirituality and the specifics of Anglican spirituality. Anglican spirituality is closely linked with the historical origins and development of the Anglican Church. In the second section, there is a description of poetic imagination and the relationship between poetics and spirituality. The thesis describes the concept of so-called metaphysical poets. The works of three selected authors are examined to identify poetic expressions of general, theological issues. Theological themes emphasized in Anglican spirituality are compared with those expressed in metaphysical poetic imagination. The aim of this thesis is to find the role of poetics in general, theological discourse.
