Srovnání pneumatologie pravoslaví a evangelikálních církví / The comparison of the pneumatology of orthodox and evangelical churchesMARATOVÁ, Michaela January 2016 (has links)
The subject of this diploma thesis is comparison of Orthodox and Evangelical churches pneumatology. The main goal is to summarize, compare and evaluate the knowledge acquired from studying various texts from both Orthodox and Evangelical theologians. The first part of the diploma thesis is addressing significant theological topics from the Orthodox Church. The second part focuses on Evangelical pneumatology with special attention to its charismatic and Pentecostal character. A substantial part of this section is devoted to terminologically defining evangelicalism in its historical context. At the same time an attempt was made to capture the breadth and diversity of this modern phenomenon. The starting point that was chosen for the thesis were the works of various Pentecostal and charismatic authors whose main viewpoints are being compared in key points with those of traditional, conservative theologians. The third and at the same time the last part evaluates the acquired knowledge and accentuates the similarities and differences.

"Worlds of the spirit" : exploring african spiritual and new pentecostal church relations in BotswanaBorn, Jacob Bryan 11 1900 (has links)
Similar to other countries in southern Africa, the relationship between African Spiritual Churches and New Pentecostal Churches in Botswana has been characterized by considerable tension and mutual distrust. Although both movements highlight the third person of the Trinity, the Spirit of God, their followers view the world around them very differently. This study has investigated the relationship between these two types of churches by focusing on their efforts to produce unique ideologies of spiritual power in relation to the two major ideologies in the Botswana context, namely the reified Setswana worldview and the globalizing forces of Western modernity.
In order to provide a careful analysis of the relationship between these movements, two churches from each group were chosen as representatives. The Hermon Church and Revelation Blessed Peace Church served as examples for the African Spiritual Churches, while Goodnews Ministries and Bible Life Ministries were the New Pentecostal subjects. Primary research methods included interviews with church leadership, questionnaires for members of each church and participant observation. Church origins, biblical hermeneutics, healing and deliverance rituals, and approaches to cultures and covenants formed the key areas of study.
Creating unique “worlds of the Spirit” by means of innovative tactics, both types of churches seek to enable their followers to live well as they produce their contextualized ideologies of power. However, even though both movements lay claim to the Spirit of God as their source of power, the distinctive ideologies emerging from their sermons, technologies, rituals and symbols have brought them into conflict with one another. For African Spiritual Churches, the Spirit of God meets people in the midst of life’s struggles, providing healing and wholeness in all relationships. Their willingness to adopt certain elements of the reified Setswana worldview is a major issue in the conflict with New Pentecostal Churches. For New Pentecostals, the Spirit breaks all covenants made in the past, and empowers “born again” believers to succeed in a modern environment filled with opportunities and challenges. The key missiological concern of this study is to explore the unique efforts of these movements to contextualize the gospel message for Botswana. / Church Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th.

Spirited Feelings & Affected Actions in the Age of Climate Crisis : A study of how affect theory read through a pneumatological lens can inspire action to combat climate changeSöderin, Sofie January 2021 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to explore how affect theory can contribute to pneumatology in a way that illuminates how it might inspire action regarding the current climate crisis. To do this, this thesis analyses and discusses how feelings could relate to (human) action to combat climate change. This is done through a discussion of how different pneumatologies that describe the Holy Spirit as acting, and as inspiring action in the world, can be further developed through affect theory. The main material used are Matters of Care: Speculative Ethics in More Than Human Worlds (2017) by philosopher of science Maria Puig de la Bellacasa and Grave Attending: A Political Theology for the Unredeemed (2020) by theologian Karen Bray. Several different pneumatological voices, representing the variety of pneumatologies present within the Christian tradition, are used to analyse the main material pneumatologically. The conclusions drawn suggest that the combining of affect theory and pneumatology not only points out the similarity of the traits with which they are commonly associated, but they also suggest that it might be possible – and even necessary – to talk of the Spirit as present also in “negative” feelings such as anger or depression. The Spirit can be understood as present in all affects (even if they appear within capitalist contexts), and also as a rewiring of our relationship to become more attuned to how others (human and non-human alike) actually feel. Care, this thesis suggests, is as a very concrete example of how the Spirit can be seen as materialising through affected actions. The Spirit understood as present through affect could also provide a way of speaking of the Spirit as present in the world, in creation, without making it what gives nature its worth and meaning.

[pt] A SANTIFICAÇÃO COMO PROPRIEDADE DO ESPÍRITO SANTO NOS PADRES CAPADÓCIOS / [en] THE SANCTIFICATION AS A PROPERTY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE CAPPADOCIAN FATHERSADRIANO GOMES SOARES PESSANHA 06 August 2024 (has links)
[pt] A presente dissertação tem como título A santificação como propriedade do
Espírito Santo nos Padres Capadócios. Levando-se em conta o apelo crescente do
Concílio Vaticano II para o retorno às fontes patrísticas e a necessidade cada vez
mais crescente por uma abordagem pneumatológica da teologia e da vida da Igreja,
este trabalho tem como objeto analisar a santificação como propriedade do Espírito
Santo nos Padres da Capadócia (Basílio de Cesareia, Gregório de Nazianzo e
Gregório de Nissa). Apoiando-se na Sagrada Escritura e na tradição da liturgia e
dos Padres anteriores e se servindo também da filosofia clássica, o pensamento
deles contribuiu para a definição da fé na Trindade no Concílio de Constantinopla
I (381). Desta forma, o início do capítulo 2 apresenta a teologia apofática de ambos.
O restante do capítulo 2, os capítulos 3 e 4 apresentam a defesa que cada Padre faz
do Espírito Santo, marcando seus diferentes pontos de vista. O principal resultado
encontrado foi que a santificação, apesar de atribuída a toda a Trindade, é atributo
próprio do Espírito como santificador e aperfeiçoador da Criação, provando, assim,
a Sua divindade. Caso contrário, a santificação do ser humano seria impossível. A
contribuição da pesquisa consistiu na significação do tema e no destaque à
necessidade de não se fazer, na atualidade, uma pneumatologia isolada, mas abordar
o aspecto pneumático da cristologia, da eclesiologia e de outras dimensões da
teologia e da vida da Igreja. / [en] This dissertation is entitled Sanctification as a Property of the Holy Spirit in
the Cappadocian Fathers. Taking into account the growing call of the Second
Vatican Council to return to patristic sources and the increasing need for a
pneumatological approach to theology and the life of the Church, this work aims to
analyze sanctification as a property of the Holy Spirit in the Fathers of Cappadocia
(Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa). Relying on
Sacred Scripture and the tradition of the liturgy and the earlier Fathers, and also
drawing on classical philosophy, their thinking contributed to the definition of faith
in the Trinity at the Council of Constantinople I (381). Thus, the beginning of
chapter 2 presents the apophatic theology of both. The rest of chapter 2, chapters 3
and 4 present each Father s defense of the Holy Spirit, marking their different points
of view. The main result found was that sanctification, although attributed to the
whole Trinity, is an attribute proper to the Spirit as the sanctifier and perfecter of
Creation, thus proving His divinity. Otherwise, the sanctification of human beings
would be impossible. The contribution of the research consisted in the significance
of the theme and in highlighting the need not to make an isolated pneumatology
today, but to address the pneumatic aspect of Christology, ecclesiology and other
dimensions of theology and the life of the Church.

Major missiological motifs in North American classical pentecostal missionsNewberry, Warren Bruce 05 1900 (has links)
Text in English / This thesis is a study of several major motifs found in classical
Pentecostal missiology in the North American scene. It is both a missiologically interpreted study based on the historical antecedents of Pentecostal mission theology and a Pentecostal interpretation of five major motifs germane to Evangelical and Pentecostal missiology in this present time.
The intent and purpose of this study is to begin in chapter two with the
Antecedents and Matrix of Pentecostalism per se and interpret them through missiological eyes. Topics such as the Holiness-Wesleyan roots of Pentecostalism which includes looking at such personages as John Wesley, Charles Finney, et al are studied. As well, the Reformed, non-Wesleyan roots of Pentecostalism are highlighted which includes Premillennialism, Dwight Moody, Reuben Torrey, A J Gordon, and A B Simpson, and Divine Healing. Finally, one arrives at the matrix of
modern day Pentecostalism. The major emphasis is placed upon Charles Parham, William Seymour, the Azusa Street Mission, and on African American Pentecostals.
The remaining chapters are an articulation, evaluation, and interpretation of five major Pentecostal mission theologies (practices) that emerged from the antecedents and appear to be in common with the majority of classical Pentecostal denominations.
Chapter three deals with The Lostness of the Human Race. Topics included are lnterreligious dialogue, 'Life boat salvation', and the exclusiveness of Christ.
Chapter four handles the concepts of Church Planting and Evangelism from perspectives of the Ecumencials, Evangelicals, and Pentecostals. In chapter five, the understanding of Indigenous Church Principles is studied from its origin to present- day application. Notable persons are Melvin Hodges and Morris Williams. Most relevant to present-day missiology is chapter six which deals with Social Responsibility and how Pentecostal missiology has responded to this need. Finally,
Pneumatology as characterized by Pentecostal mission theology is studied.
Emphasis is placed on Xenolalia, the Great Commission, Traditional Pentecostal Pneumatology, Pentecostal hermeneutics, and the Holy Spirit in missions. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)

Gemeentestrukture vir diens in 'n veranderde samelewingEngelbrecht, Gerhardus Johannes 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Hoe kan die kerk, spesifiek ook die NG Kerk in Namibie, gestruktureer word om werklik relevant te wees in 'n samelewing waarin soveel veranderinge plaasvind?
Eers word gekyk na die Praktiese Teologie as navorsing random die
kommunikatiewe handelinge in diens van die evangelie; 'n definisie wat werk met 'n bepaalde verhouding tussen kerk en wereld. Daarna word die groot sosiale, staatkundige en godsdienstige veranderinge in die samelewing bespreek waarin die kerk hom bevind. As antwoord op die vraag: "watter kommunikatiewe handelinge in diens van die evangelie kan van die kerk 'n wesenlike faktor vir die evangelie in die wereld laat wees?",
bespreek hoof stuk 3 dan die moontlikhede wat die model van die kerk as dienskneg inhou vir die kerk se invloed en rol in die samelewing. Die laaste hoofstuk wys veral op die belangrike rol van lidmate en kleingroepe in die strukturering van die kerk om so 'n dienskneg-kerk te wees. / How can the church, particularly the Dutch Reformed Church in Namibia, be structured to be truly relevant in a society where so many changes occur?
Chapter 1 concerns Practical Theology researching communicative
acts in the service of the gospel; defining a specific relationship between the church and the outside world. This is followed in Chapter 2 by a discussion of the churches' role regarding the enormous social, political and religious changes in society. In reply to the question: "which actions of
communication in service of the gospel can assist the church to be a substantial factor to promote the gospel in the world?",
chapter 3 looks at the possibilities that the model of the church as servant has for the influence of the church in the society. The last chapter refers particularly to the important role of laity and small groups in the structuring of the church to serve the community. / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)

Our being is in becoming : the nature of human transformation in the theology of Karl Barth, Joseph Ratzinger, and John ZizioulasTallon, Luke Ben January 2011 (has links)
This study offers an ecumenical exploration of human transformation through the examination of this topic in the thought of Karl Barth (1888-1968), a Swiss Reformed theologian; Joseph Ratzinger (b. 1927), a Roman Catholic theologian; and John Zizioulas (b. 1931), a Greek Orthodox theologian. Describing and understanding human transformation stands as a crucial task for theology because no one is simply born a Christian—in order to be a Christian one must become a Christian. The first chapter introduces this topic, the three theologians (highlighting their commonalities), and the three questions that guide the analysis of each theologian and the thesis as a whole: What is the goal of human transformation? What is the basis of human transformation? How are humans transformed? Chapters 2, 3, and 4 treat the topic of human transformation in the theology of Barth, Ratzinger, and Zizioulas, respectively. All three understand the goal of human transformation to be the prayer of the children of God, and locate its basis in God’s reconciling act in Jesus Christ—an act itself based in the primordial divine decision to be God pro nobis. Even within this broad agreement, however, differences are evident, especially with regard to eschatology. Consideration of how this transformation occurs reveals significant differences concerning the agency of Jesus Christ in relation to the Holy Spirit and the church. The final chapter explores 1) the convergences and divergences between Barth, Ratzinger, and Zizioulas regarding human transformation; 2) the contributions of this study to the interpretation of Barth, Ratzinger, and Zizioulas; and 3) the relationship between human transformation and participation in God. Throughout, attention is given to the relationship between Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, the eschaton, and the triunity of God and human transformation. All three accounts of human transformation point beyond the transition between sinful and redeemed humanity to a dynamic anthropology in which the constant asking, receiving, thanking, and asking again is the very “ontological location” of the eschatological life of humanity: our being is in becoming.
