The problem of universal oppression has caused Gutierrez, Cone and Moltmann to advocate that God is orchestrating an historical programme of liberation from socio-economic, racial and political suffering. They feel that God's liberating actions can be seen in the Abrahamic promise, the exodus and the Christ-event. Moltmann, especially, has emphasized both the trinitarian identification with human pain and the influence of the freedom of the future upon the suffering of the present. According to our theologians, Jesus Christ identified with us, and died the death of a substitutionary victim. Through the resurrection, Jesus Christ overcame the problem of suffering and death, and inaugurated the New Age. The cross and resurrection were the focal point of God's liberating activity. Liberation, or freedom, from sin and suffering is now possible, at least proleptically. We are to understand the atonement as having been liberative rather than forensic or legal, although judgement is not ignored. Both the perpetrators of injustice and their victims are called upon to identify with, and struggle for, freedom, with the help of the liberating Christ. We agree with our theologians that God has historically indicated his desire for justice and freedom. The magnitude of evil and suffering still existing, however, forces us to abandon the idea that God is progressively liberating history. Nevertheless, we affirm the idea that the Trinity has absorbed human suffering into its own story through the incarnate Son. Jesus identified with suffering in a four-fold way, namely: its existence, the judgement of it, the overcoming of it, and the need to oppose it. This comprehensive identification gives Christ the right to demand the doing of justice, because the greatest injustice in history has happened to him. The atonement was forensic, rendering all people accountable to Christ; but it was also liberative, validating the struggle against oppression. Furthermore, at his second coming, Christ will be vindicated in whatever judgement he will exact upon the perpetrators of injustice or oppression. For today the resurrection still gives hope and faith to those who suffer and to those who identify with them / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th.D. (Systematic Theology)

The aim of this thesis is to compare the concept of sin in the theologies of Ellen G. White and Leonardo Boff. Chapter 1 examines Ellen G. White's concept of sin. White's historical and theological backgrounds coupled with her use of the "great controversy" motif provide a better grasp of her understanding of sin. White defines sin as the transgression of God's Law. She views sin to comprise at least two dimensions, namely, the individual and the social. White regards these two aspects of sin to have equal significance. White's detailed treatment of the sanctuary teaching also highlights the two dimensions of sin. In Chapter 2 Boff' s idea of sin is investigated. Boff' s historical background, which exposed him to the poor, influenced his perception of sin. Boff's theological background together with his familiarity with Karl Marx's social analysis prompted Boff to define sin as the negation of God's love in a human history bedevilled by class conflict. Boff views sin to have the individual and social dimensions. Yet, in terms of importance, Boff believes that the social dimension of sin is more consequential than the individual one. In Chapter 3 White's and Boff s views on sin are compared. From this comparison it is evident that both White and Boff recognize the bipolarity of sin. Both seem to agree that christians should take an active role in correcting social evils because love for God is manifested by how we relate to our neighbor. Boff devotes less space to the individual aspect of sin than White. Chapter 4 shows that White's theological tradition has a lot to learn from Boff and his tradition and also vice versa. An awareness of the current priestly ministry of Christ evident in White's theology could help Boff to bring some balance to his stance on the social and the individual dimension of sin. Boff' s use of Marx's social analysis should also help Seventh-day Adventists, the inheritors of White's theology, not to interpret White's theology of sin only along individualistic lines while overlooking its social dimension. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.Th.

'Direct experience of God' is a term frequently used by theologians without adequate clarification regarding its meaning. The understanding thereof has become increasingly complicated by the process of secularization. In the 1960's, it was repeatedly asserted that modern people could not have direct experiences of God, albeit that one could still live by faith and by commitment to the way of Jesus in a world in which, it was asserted, "God is dead". This claim, although long predominant, has been challenged by the upsurge of interest in mysticism, both Eastern and Western, and the burgeoning of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movement, in which circles direct experience of God was frequently claimed. If direct experience of God is something natural to humanity, interpretation of it will vary in exactly the same way as interpretation of all other human experiences. This could be a possible reason for it being so very poorly integrated into everyday life, resulting in the loss of meaning and value.

La crise des États-nations face aux migrant·e·s, comme la réactivité publique par rapport aux enjeux de justice sociale concernant les groupes minoritaires, participe à faire de l’hospitalité un sujet criant. Pourtant, la notion ne génère en elle-même aucune polémique et ne fait que rarement l’objet de remises en cause. Ce mémoire apporte un regard critique sur ce qu’est l’hospitalité et sur les manières dont elle est pratiquée. À cet effet, l’étude du phénomène est menée à partir du point de vue des privilèges des hôtes plutôt que de celui de la vulnérabilité des personnes accueillies. D’abord, il s’agit de mettre en perspective les acceptions vertueuse et principielle de l’hospitalité. Comprise en tant que pratique de l’accueil, l’hospitalité est ensuite redéfinie selon trois modalités (spatiale, sociale et procédurale) en réponse aux façons dont l’hospitalité est la plus fréquemment problématisée dans les discours savants (autour du chez-soi, de la figure de l’étranger et de l’invitation par exemple). Puis, il est question des manières d’accueillir spécifiques relatives à la frontière, au seuil, au camp et au refuge. Avec l’œuvre Las reglas del juego / The Rules of the Game (2000 ‒ 2001) de Gustavo Artigas, il apparaît que penser l’hospitalité par ses limites renvoie à l’idée d’accessibilité. L’accueil y représente une admission conditionnelle et une régulation des admis·es (frontière) ou un enjeu d’adaptation à autrui (seuil). Le projet État d’Urgence (1998 ‒ 2010) de l’ATSA permet quant à lui d’interroger l’accueil sous l’angle de l’inclusion sociale. Tantôt, l’hospitalité devient synonyme de mise à l’écart d’un régime d’oppression (camp), tantôt du refus de collaborer au dit régime en son sein même (refuge). En somme, le dialogue entre les écrits savants et les œuvres d’art participatif dévoile les relations de pouvoir dans l’accueil qui sont à même de définir l’hospitalité, sa visée opportuniste et ses effets incertains. / The crisis of nation-states regarding migration and public responsiveness to issues concerning minority groups contribute to make hospitality a topic of the hour. However, the concept in of itself does not rise any polemic and appear to be rarely challenged. This paper therefore seeks to provide a critical look at what hospitality actually is and at how it is practiced. The phenomenon was studied from the perspective of the hosts and their privileges rather than the vulnerability of the people welcomed. In the first chapter, the meaning of hospitality as a virtue, as a principle and as a practice, which are common modes of defining the subject in the scholarly publications, was put into perspective. A new definition of hospitality was then proposed drawing on the three modalities of its practice (spatial, social and procedural). This definition respond to the ways in which hospitality is most frequently problematized in the literature (around the home, the figure of the stranger and the multiple actions supposed to provide hospitality such as invitation, accommodation, care, etc.). In the second chapter, each specific way of welcoming that implies the border, the threshold, the camp and the refuge is discussed. Thereon, Gustavo Artigas' Las reglas del juego / The Rules of the Game (2000 ‒ 2001) reveals that the limits of hospitality represent a matter of conditional admission and control (border) or of adaptation to others (threshold). Also, ATSA's État d'Urgence (1998 ‒ 2010) allows to examine hospitality under the paradigm of social inclusion. From this angle, welcoming becomes synonymous either with taking a population aside from an oppressive regime (camp), or with a refusal to collaborate with the regime from the inside (refuge). In short, the dialogue between scholarly literature and participatory art uncovers the power relations that define hospitality, its opportunistic goals and its ambiguous effects.

This dissertation is a study of the role of Gustavo Gutiérrez as a public pastor in the 1980s and 1990s in Peru. His collaboration with the Lima newspaper La República from the early 1980s gave him a figurative pulpit from which he addressed the Peruvian public on specific occasions. The fundamental question in the dissertation is: How did Gutiérrez respond as pastor to the Peruvian public and how did he express his pastoral concern? The study analyses materials that has not been object for previous studies, such as theological essays and articles in newspapers and periodicals. With inspiration from discourse analysis four discourses have been identified in Gutiérrez’ texts.  These discourses interact and through this interaction Gutiérrez formulates his pastoral message. For the socio-political analysis two political discourses are used, the radical and the liberal. The radical political discourse deals with justice for the poor and liberation from oppression as a condition for peace and harmony in society, which are in focus for the liberal political discourse. With the Catholic theological discourse Gutiérrez sets the socio-political analysis in relation to Catholic doctrine and through the pastoral theological discourse he gives reason for hope and inspiration to action. As an advocate for a theology of life, Gutiérrez urges those who read and listen to him to break the pattern of death and opt for this theology of life. In his role as pastor, Gutiérrez speaks words of comfort and encouragement but also words of admonition and warning to those in power who have the capacity to transform society.
