contre Dieu ? Autant d'anciennes questions et de débats houleux qui reviennent aujourd'hui au premier plan de l'actualité. Aux États-Unis particulièrement, où les États, un siècle et demi après la publication de L'Origine des espèces, sont amenés à légiférer sur l'enseignement de la théorie darwinienne ou de ses opposantes ; mais les pays européens sont désormais eux aussi confrontés aux mêmes revendications de la part des lobbies créationnistes. Dans un monde où la science a perdu sa capacité à émerveiller et suscite parfois la méfiance, tous les discours semblent se valoir. Il faut le génie pédagogique de Jacques Arnould, dominicain, théologien et historien des sciences, pour nous aider à démêler les arguments et les enjeux, les positions théologiques et politiques.

Par Jacques Grand'Maison. 2007
"[...] Jacques Grand'Maison propose une réflexion stimulante qui risque de bousculer nombre d'idées reçues. Son projet est ambitieux : jeter…
les bases d'un nouvel humanisme capable de permettre un véritable "vivre ensemble" dans une société où se côtoient des gens d'origines et de cultures différentes, avec ou sans allégeance religieuse. L'humanisme, affirme-t-il, est à renouveler à chaque époque pour raviver ses rôles libérateurs et civilisateurs. Mais ce serait dommage et même illusoire de penser qu'on peut y parvenir sans les riches patrimoines culturels et religieux de l'histoire. Bien au-delà des ponctuels accommodements raisonnables, le "vivre ensemble" réclame de plus profondes et durables altérités patiemment cherchées et construites." -- 4e de couvComment je suis redevenu chrétien (Memoires - Temoignages - Biographies Ser. #Vol. 6123327)

dit maintenant. C'est d'abord la raison qui me guidait. Par elle, je me sentais peu à peu ramené au christianisme. Cette réflexion a d'abord été très périphérique par rapport à la foi, puis les cercles de ma curiosité se sont rapprochés du noyau central, celui de la croyance proprement dite. J'en suis là. Je ne suis pas sûr d'être redevenu un "bon chrétien", mais je crois profondément que le message évangélique garde une valeur fondatrice pour les hommes de ce temps. Y compris pour ceux qui ne croient pas en Dieu. Ce qui m'attire vers lui, ce n'est pas une émotivité vague, c'est la conscience de sa fondamentale pertinence. La rétractation d'une telle parole dans l'enclos de l'intimité - se taire ! - me semblerait absurde. La laïcité véritable, ce n'est pas la peureuse révision à la baisse des points de vue, c'est leur libre expression dans un rapport robuste et apaisé" -- 4e de couvMa vie dans deux valises: douze années au couvent avant de trouver ma voie

Par Robert Goss, Donald Boisvert. 2005
“Why did it take 30 years for American bishops to listen to the victims of Catholic clerical abuse?” Gay Catholic…
Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct: Breaking the Silence is a compelling indictment of Roman Catholic teachings on homosexuality and sexuality. Inspired by The Silence of Sodom: Homosexuality in Modern Catholicism, Mark Jordan’s controversial examination of homoeroticism in American Catholic culture, this groundbreaking book examines how the current crisis of clerical abuse affects and stigmatizes gay priests living in a climate of hysteria and condemnation. The book’s contributors, an eclectic mix of scholars and clerics, question whether the church can survive centuries of secrets and scandals. In the wake of very real concerns about a possible inquisition launched by the Catholic Church against its gay members, Gay Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct continues the efforts of the Gay Men’s Issues in Religion Group of the American Academy of Religion to honor the work of Mark Jordan, who contributes his thoughts on the issues raised by the book. A panel of former Jesuits, a former seminarian with the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, a Dominican, a Franciscan, and several feminist authors present different perspectives on gay priests, clerical/ecclesial misogyny, games of power and abuse, and religious scapegoating, writing with eloquence and pain, a great deal of pride, and a touch of justifiable divine righteousness. Gay Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct includes:“Celibate Men, Ambivalent Saints, and Games of Desire”, “A Call to Liberation of Gay Catholic Clergy”, “Speaking Loud or Shutting Up: The Homosexual-type Problem”, “Those Troubling Gay Priests”, “Catholicism and a Crisis of Intimate Relations” and much more! Gay Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct: Breaking the Silence is an invaluable resource for academics, members of the clergy, seminarians, chaplains and counselors, and anyone interested in homosexuality and religion.This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971…
to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important, but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school, Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes, narratives, and compositions related to history, ideology, and archaeology, on the one hand, and text and canon, on the other, as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time, this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies.Everyday Sabbath: How to Lead Your Dance With Media and Technology in Mindful and Sacred Ways
Par Robert H. Woods, Nathan Foster, Paul D. Patton, Al Kresta. 2021
The authors, writing as scholars of communication and media, demonstrate how God’s great gifts of media and technology can rob…
us of everyday Sabbath and impede spiritual growth if not faithfully stewarded through a process described as mindful media attachment. Mindful media attachment helps to promote the “holy habits” of sacred intentionality, sacred interiority, and sacred identity. These “three sacreds,” which arise from a proper understanding of the “grammar and language” of media and technology, ultimately allow us to avoid treating media and technology as ends in and of themselves and to avoid divided affections that drain energy, purpose, and kingdom service.The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism
Par Louis Bouyer. 2017
Louis Bouyer examines the underlying principles and teachings of the 16th century Protestant reformers. These topics include Scripture alone as…
source of Christian belief, justification by faith alone, God's free gift of unmerited salvation, the sovereignty of God, and the Christian responsibility toward good works. He also presents certain problematic areas of Protestant thought, such as the denial of the efficacy of the sacraments, a conflict between various interpretations of Scripture and the Tradition of the Church, and the rejection of Church authority. He then shows how these same principles gradually weakened the various forms of Protestantism, while, at the same time, provided impetus for later reforms and renewals. Written in 1956, The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism by Louis Bouyer still challenges both Catholics and Protestants to better understand the issues that both separate and unite them. Topics include the Protestant teachings of: • The Free Gift of Unmerited Salvation • The Sovereignty of God • Justification by Faith Alone • The Authority of Scripture Alone as a Source of Christian Doctrine • The Responsibility of Christians Believers Toward Good WorksAn Asian American Theology of Liberation
Par Tian An Wong. 2023
What does liberation mean for Asians at the core of an anti-Black, settler-colonial empire? This landmark book is the first…
to offer an Asian American theology of liberation for the present and future global crises. The broad scope of contemporary ideas that the book engages with will be of interest to students, activists, clergy, and scholars alike. Readers interested in radical politics, political theology, and Asian American history will find this book an important addition to their bookshelves. Providing an intersectional frame that considers the breadth and diversity of Asian American experiences alongside those of Black, Indigenous, and Latinx thinkers in the United States and across the globe, An Asian American Theology of Liberation puts Asian American theology in dialogue with theories from psychoanalysis, Afro-pessimism, Black Marxism, postcolonial studies, and queer theology. In this groundbreaking work, Wong Tian An combines archival research uncovering a much overlooked theology of liberation — born in the 1970s out of Asian Americans’ struggles for political recognition and civil rights in the United States — with powerful analyses drawing from the theological, intellectual, and political developments of the last half century. This wide-ranging study connects urgent themes such as protest movements in Hong Kong, anti-Asian violence in the United States, and Indigenous struggles everywhere, while building on Asian theologies such as Dalit theology in India, theology of struggle in the Philippines, and Minjung theology in Korea. Drawing deeply and broadly across disciplines, the book altogether revives and renews an Asian American theology of liberation for a new generation.An Eternal Pitch examines the homiletic life and afterlife of Bishop G. E. Patterson, the dynamic spiritual leader of the…
Church of God in Christ from 2000 to 2007. Although Patterson died in 2007, his voice remains a staple of radio and television broadcast, and his sermons have taken on a life of their own online, where myriad YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok users enact innovative forms of religious broadcasting. Their preoccupation with Patterson’s "Afterliveness" punctuates the significance of Patterson’s preoccupation with musical repetition: across the decades of Patterson’s ministry, a set of musical gestures recur as sonic channels, bringing an individual sermon into contact with scripture’s eternal transmission.Timeless Truths Bible: One faith.

we are, we go out and read mostly people who agree with us, or who live in our same time and place. It's hard to separate the cultural wheat from the chaff. But what happens when we do read people's answers to Jesus's question from the past lives and places of the church--people who may be wholly unlike us? Who is Jesus? What is he like? And who am I, encountering Jesus?The answers will surprise you.Jesus through Medieval Eyes, by Grace Hamman, looks to the Christians of the Middle Ages, to a time and culture dissimilar to our own, for their answers to these questions. Medieval Europeans were also suffering through pandemics, dealing with political and ecclesial corruption and instability, and reckoning with gender, money, and power. Yet their concerns and imaginations are unlike ours. Their ideas, narratives, and art about Jesus open up paradoxically fresh and ancient ways to approach and adore Christ--and reveal where our own cultural ideals about the Messiah fall short.In thoughtful and accessible chapters, medievalist scholar Grace Hamman explores and meditates upon medieval representations of Jesus in theology and literature. These representations of Jesus span from the familiar, like Jesus as the Judge at the End of Days, or Jesus as the Lover of the Song of Songs, to the more unusual, like Jesus as Our Mother. Through the words of medieval people like Julian of Norwich, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Margery Kempe, and St. Thomas Aquinas, we meet these faces of Jesus and find renewed ways to love the Savior, in the words of St. Augustine, that "beauty so ancient and so new."
