Two Medieval Soteriologies: Anselm Of Canterbury And Julian Of Norwich, Joan Nuth Nov 1992

Two Medieval Soteriologies: Anselm Of Canterbury And Julian Of Norwich, Joan Nuth

Joan M. Nuth

Compares the soteriologies of Anselm of Canterbury and Julian of Norwich. Immense influence of Anselm's `Cur Deus Homo' upon the development of soteriology; Julian's `Showings' as an important medieval soteriological study alongside with `Cur Deus Homo'; Similarities which bring closer together the seemingly extreme justice-rationalism of Anselm and the unseemingly unqualified universalism of Julian.

The Nwagu Aneke Igbo Script: Its Origins, Features And Potentials As A Medium Of Alternative Literacy In African Languages, Chukwuma Azuonye

Chukwuma Azuonye

The present paper is a study of the origins, features and significance of the Nwagu Aneke Igbo Syllabary (otherwise known as the Umuleri Igbo Script), one of the thirty or so indigenous systems of writing which (re-)emerged in West Africa during the colonial period as a medium for challenging alien cultural values and for the re-assertion of the superiority of African spiritual and moral traditions and of the thought-patterns which lie behind them.

The Two Churches: Catholicism And Capitalism In The World System, Michael Budde Dec 1991

The Two Churches: Catholicism And Capitalism In The World System, Michael Budde

Michael Budde

The single most important change now well under way within Catholicism is its transition from a First World to a Third World entity. How this enormous shift will affect the Catholic church's role in the world economy is the subject of Michael L. Budde's book, the first world systems study of the mutual interaction of religion and political economy in the 1990s. Budde's argument here is twofold. He contends that world Catholicism, led by its Third World majority (most notably in Latin America), will continue to develop in an increasingly anticapitalist direction; and he suggests that once-dominant First World Catholic …


Universal Theology And The Idea Of Cosmic Order, Philip Novak Dec 1991

Universal Theology And The Idea Of Cosmic Order, Philip Novak

Philip Novak

"The most urgent task of theology today, some noted thinkers argue, is to construct a universal theology of religion. '[S]uch a theology' writes A K Min, 'seeks to translate the central insights of one's own faith and those of others into an 'ecumenical Esperanto,'i.e., universally intelligible concepts... images and symbols based on common human experience... (the latter being) not only the source of universal theology but also its critical norm.' It is in light of this task that the following reflection on the notion of cosmic order is undertaken." ~ from the article
