The 'P'-Word: Conversion In A Postmodern Environment, Brad Kallenberg

Theology and Religious Studies Faculty Publications

Allow me to write frankly about the “P”-word. There is great concern about the proliferation of the “P”-word. In the past decade, over 1,500 articles and 2,000 books have come into print bearing the "P"-word in their titles. Nearly 1,000 of these books are still in print. Everywhere we turn we find that we have been inundated with the “P”-word. And so we have come to fear for our culture. The "P"-word? “Postmodernism.”

Granted, postmodernism is a slippery concept; there are many versions, many postmodernisms. But should Christians fear postmodernism? To be sure, the modern era proved to be no …

From Marxism-Leninism To Ethnicity: The Sideslips Of Ethiopian Elitism, Messay Kebede

Philosophy Faculty Publications

For many scholars, colonialism and neocolonial policies remain the root causes of Africa's numerous impediments to its progress, ranging from the persistence of poverty to the ravages of ethnic conflicts. However, the number of scholars who prefer to ascribe these impediments essentially to the persistence of traditional views and methods and to the lack of reforms radical enough to trigger a sustained process of modernization is not negligible. My position contests this either-or debate and identifies the culprit as the rise of African elitism—a phenomenon implicating the specific effect of colonialism in conjunction with internal African contributions. I take the …

Justice For Perpetrators And Victims Of Apartheid Who Fall Outside The Scope Of The Truth And Reconciliation Commission’S Mandate, Christopher J. Roederer, Kevin Hopkins

School of Law Faculty Publications

The legislation that gave birth to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission provides for the possibility of amnesty to the perpetrators of certain crimes and delicts. It also provides for the possibility of reparations to the victims of apartheid who suffered as a result of their human rights being grossly violated. The problem with the legislation is that it is only competent to deal with matters falling within its ambit, but there are numerous issues that still need to be addressed which clearly fall outside of it. One might be tempted to say that such issues falling beyond the scope of …

On The Value Of History Of Theology And Philosophy, Daniel C. Fouke

University of Dayton Review

When I was asked to moderate this session I was told that I should make some comments for the purpose of stimulating discussion. This presented me with something of a dilemma, since I am no expert on Augustine. So, I thought that perhaps it would be most useful for me to prepare the way for the later discussion by reflecting on the general value of recovering past theological and philosophical positions. What do we learn or gain from such a project?
