The Myth Of Religious Violence: Secular Ideology And The Roots Of Modern Conflict, William Cavanaugh Dec 2008

The Myth Of Religious Violence: Secular Ideology And The Roots Of Modern Conflict, William Cavanaugh

William T. Cavanaugh

The idea that religion has a dangerous tendency to promote violence is part of the conventional wisdom of Western societies, and it underlies many of our institutions and policies, from limits on the public role of religion to efforts to promote liberal democracy in the Middle East. William T. Cavanaugh challenges this conventional wisdom by examining how the twin categories of religion and the secular are constructed. A growing body of scholarly work explores how the category 'religion' has been constructed in the modern West and in colonial contexts according to specific configurations of political power. Cavanaugh draws on this …

Hearts Go Walking: Conversations Between Poetry, Prayer And Theology, Vaughan S. Roberts Sep 2007

Hearts Go Walking: Conversations Between Poetry, Prayer And Theology, Vaughan S. Roberts

Vaughan S Roberts

There are many potential connections between poetry, prayer and theology. This presentation briefly explores each subject in turn before looking at how they might converse with each other through various poems under the headings of: (a) prayer in the world; (b) prayer as lover; (c) prayer as apophatic encounter; and (d) prayer as divine meeting.


"Shared Values In Communal Life: Provisional Skepticism And The Prospect Of A Global Ethic", Scott R. Paeth Dec 2006

"Shared Values In Communal Life: Provisional Skepticism And The Prospect Of A Global Ethic", Scott R. Paeth

Scott R. Paeth

This article examines the prospects for the development of a global ethic in a pluralistic and morally fragmented world. Arguing that a set of shared values, such as those proposed by Leonard Swidler and Hans Kiing, must contend with the realities of human self-interest and social dislocation, the author seeks constructively to critique the project of a global ethic from a position of "provisional skepticism." In the final section, he considers some ways of overcoming provisional skepticism, arguing finally in favor of the development of a global civil society, which can embody and channel the diversity of moral perspectives within …

The Numinous And Modernity: An Interpretation Of Rudolf Otto's Philosophy Of Religion, Todd Gooch

This should respond to concerns facing Protestant theologians in Germany at the turn of the century. Moreover, he examines the reception of Otto’s ideas after World War One. The volume contains name and subject indexes.

Theology For The Beach, Vaughan S. Roberts

Vaughan S Roberts

Arising from my paper ‘The Sea of Faith: After Dover Beach’ (1997) this presentation to an annual conference of naval chaplains explores how water and sea might function as organizational metaphors for chaplaincy ministry. A fully revised version was published as ‘Water as an implicit metaphor for organizational change within the Church’ (2002) in the journal Implicit Religion and can be found here: https://www.equinoxpub.com/journals/index.php/IR/article/view/2946/


Torture And Eucharist: Theology, Politics, And The Body Of Christ, William Cavanaugh Dec 1997

Torture And Eucharist: Theology, Politics, And The Body Of Christ, William Cavanaugh

William T. Cavanaugh

"Cavanaugh begins with an engrossing analysis of the dynamics of torture and disappearance as a mode disciplining the body politic. He judiciously uses psychological and social scientific sources without letting them override the theological focus of the book. He then gives an equally engrossing account of the Church in Chile under Pinochet. His analyses both of Maritain and the 'New Christendom' ecclesiology provide as interesting critique of the failures of the Church to respond to Pinochet's repression, while his concluding chapter on eucharistic theology points towards the source of the successful responses made by the Church. Particularly useful and interesting …
