Pastoral Problems and Prospects

Der Autor „zeigt in seiner Dissertationsschrift und damit auch in seinem Forschungsvorgehen auf, worauf eine fruchtbare Inkulturation basiert [..] Dabei bleibt Ugorji nicht auf einer abstrakten Ebene stehen, sondern skizziert exemplarisch am in der Igbo-Kultur beheimateten Kolanuss-Ritus, wie eine traditionelle Symbolik in seiner nigerianischen Heimat im Kontext christlicher Initiationsriten aufgegriffen werden kann […] Die Lektüre der vorliegenden Dissertationsschrift […]

Getting Knowledge of Evil: A Comparison of Wolfhart Pannenberg᾿s and Gustavo Gutiérrez᾿s Theology
THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse
This book compares the understanding of evil by Wolfhart Pannenberg and Gustavo Gutiérrez. It addresses the question on, how do Pannenberg and Gutiérrez get knowledge of the “reality” of evil? The answer to the question is that they get knowledge of such a “reality” in a very similar way: dialectically and interdisciplinary.
On the one hand, it has to do with the fact that both theologians ground their theological knowledge of finite realities with the help of […]

An Intertextual Approach to the Paradox of Romans 2:13 and 3:20
Justified by Law Observance?
THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse
Romans 2:13 has long been a stumbling block for protestants. That “the doers of the law will be justified,” seemingly does not fit the doctrine of justification by faith alone. On the other hand, this Pauline statement appears to support the Roman Catholic dogma which claims good works deserve justification at the final judgment. In their embarrassment, protestants read Rom 2:13 as a hypothesis: If there were any human beings able to keep the law perfectly, they would be […]

Theological Ethical Moral Series (TEMS) Vol. 2
Thanksgiving, Faith and Morality
THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse
The Theological Ethical Moral Series (TEMS) Vol. 2 stresses that the need to thank God is more of a virtue, which should be learnt, than a law that prescribes. Virtue springs from life and forms it. The psalms indicate that thanksgiving is not only personal but communal, drawing from a happy reversal of events.
The Eucharist is the principal act of thanksgiving that Jesus Christ instituted. Though the Eucharist essentially is thanksgiving, this doesnt […]

The Misery of Childless Marriage in Igbo Culture
Re-Consideration of Ecclesiastical Ethical Response to Cultural and Biomedical “Remedies”
Infertility is a universal problem but the crisis it poses for Christian couples in the African cultural context differs from the experience in Western cultures. The root of the problem is the conflict in the understanding of marriage in African culture and the Christian marriage ethics, which makes it difficult for one to remain truly African and happily Christian in the faces of childless marriage. This work demonstrates this using the life context of the Igbo people of […]

Beyond Interreligious Tolerance
Mahatma Gandhi – Pioneer of Faith-Based Active Non-Violence as a Response to Oppression and Communal Violence
This book is an exploration of the life and message of Mahatma Gandhi, “the apostle of non-violence“. It is not merely an academic study, but reflects people’s genuine thirst for searching authentic freedom in a world where inhuman, irreligious and unchristian spirit prevails. The spirit and vision of Mahatma Gandhi, the great son of Arsha-Bharata, who gave his life for tolerance and non-violence, and who treated all religions with the same spirit of respect and […]

African Theology of Solidarity and Religion of Self-Deceit
The Nigerian Experience
THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse
Religion plays an important role in the day to day activities in Nigeria. Nigerians live religion and think religiously. Religion is used to legitimate almost everything. Politicians use recourse to religion to promote their political agenda. They use religious events, gatherings and discussions to gain political advantage; businessmen and women use religion as an advertising mechanism.
The genuine religiosity of Nigerians has become in itself a problem. It has […]

Fundamental Principles for Inculturating Igbo Liturgy
THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse
The book has three main parts and nine chapters: theological basis for inculturation, ethnology of the Igbo and inculturation principles.
Theological Basis for Inculturation.
Whenever and where ever the Church gathers in prayer or liturgical celebrations, she lives out what she believes, she celebrates in form and word the Incarnate Word, who revealed to humanity the „God-liness of man?- we are „co-heirs? to the kingdom with Christ. The in-time coming […]
