The document discusses transforming theological assumptions for social transformation. It argues that theology should be developmental, invitational, and social rather than focused only on preserving doctrine. It also discusses how signs like pens can be interpreted iconically based on physical attributes, indexically based on a relationship to something else, or symbolically based on cultural meaning. It raises whether marriage could be at the heart of Christian theology.

7 Dimensions of Religion
The document defines key religious terms:
- Belief in one God is monotheism. Atheism is denial of God's existence. Polytheism is belief in multiple gods. Naturalism is belief that nature holds all answers with no supernatural.
- Experiential refers to emotional religious experiences like prayer and speaking in tongues. Ritual enacts religious narratives like baptism. Doctrinal are written statements of faith.

Ways To Study Religion
The study of religion uses many academic disciplines and scholarly methodologies to understand religious traditions from historical, social, and cultural perspectives. This includes historical analysis of sacred texts, anthropological study of religious functions in societies, sociological examination of how religion interacts with social experiences, and philosophical scrutiny of the logical basis and limits of religious beliefs. The ultimate goal is to interpret and explain religious expressions and experiences through objective analysis while acknowledging the unique and subjective nature of human spirituality.

Christology tillich
This document summarizes H.D. McDonald's analysis of Paul Tillich's symbolic christology. Some key points:
- Tillich rejects the concept of God as a personal being, instead viewing theological language as symbolic. He seeks to interpret religious symbols, not confirm or deny their literal meanings.
- For Tillich, knowledge of God can only be described symbolically. The "Jesus of history" is unknown, and Jesus was clothed with symbolic meanings by the early church.
- Tillich views "God" as having two meanings - the "unconditional transcendent" and an object of religious consciousness symbolized by terms like power and action. Even calling God "being itself" is a symbol
A6. Question Time
The document discusses several questions related to apologetics and Christianity. It asks if one needs to be personally convinced of an argument to use it with others. It also questions whether specializing in a particular worldview is worthwhile for developing good apologetics. Finally, it addresses the claim that Christianity borrowed core beliefs from first-century Mithraism, examining the evidence for and against this claim. The document analyzes the historical reliability of the Bible and external evidence from early Christian writers to support its authenticity.
Rel 101 secularism
This document discusses secularism and some of its key ideas. It introduces secularism as rejecting the idea of God or sacred realities. It then outlines some sources of secularism like the Enlightenment and discovery of other cultures. Finally, it discusses some appeals of secularism like providing non-religious means to confront suffering, but also questions if secularism can fully address issues like the problem of suffering, anxiety, and human imperfection.
Ways2studyreligion
This document outlines different academic approaches to studying religion, including theology, literary criticism, history of religion, anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and phenomenology. Each discipline studies religion through a specific lens, such as theology examining religious teachings, history exploring religious origins and influences, and phenomenology solely describing religious phenomena without interpretation. The document discusses how an insider or committed believer may understand religion differently than an outsider observer and emphasizes that the academic study of religion provides complementary perspectives for both.

Eliade
Mircea Eliade was a Romanian historian of religion born in 1907 who studied Hinduism in India. He later taught comparative religion in Paris and Chicago. Eliade believed that religious people experience time as both sacred and profane, while non-religious people see time as homogeneous. For Eliade, the sacred is manifested through hierophanies, cratophanies, and ontophanies, and provides order and meaning for religious people through myths and rituals that allow participation in primordial sacred time. Eliade studied how archaic societies constructed sacred space and symbolism to participate in the divine cosmos.

Pprs107
This document discusses foundational questions about religion and spirituality, including questions about the existence of God, what it means to be human, and how humans interact with the sacred and believing communities. It also examines concepts like love, faith, fear, anxiety, and the human quest for identity and meaning. Several philosophers and theologians are referenced in exploring these topics, including Plato, Thomas Aquinas, Karl Rahner, and Catherine Albanese.

The document summarizes several classical and modern sociological theories about the role and purpose of religion in society. It discusses functionalism, which views religion as a conservative force that promotes social stability. It also examines Marxism, which sees religion as legitimizing social inequality and disguising exploitation. The document then analyzes Durkheim's functionalist perspective that religion symbolizes society and reinforces social solidarity through collective rituals and beliefs like totemism.
Symbolism Religious Language
The document discusses symbolism in religion and theology. It outlines Paul Tillich's argument that all religious language is symbolic rather than literal. Symbols are meant to represent and convey religious meanings and experiences that cannot be expressed through words alone. Religious symbols can motivate people, strengthen social bonds, and clarify spiritual experiences in a way that language cannot. However, Tillich's view that symbols somehow participate in or show the reality of what they represent is criticized as being vague.
INT-244 Topic 1b Study of Religions
- Daniel and other Israelites were taken captive to Babylon after Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem in 586 BC. Nebuchadnezzar selected some Israelites, including Daniel, to serve in his court based on their qualifications including skills, knowledge, and ability to learn.
- Daniel and the other Israelites underwent education in the language and culture of Babylon but maintained their Jewish faith while immersed in this foreign culture. They were to be indoctrinated into the Babylonian worldview but Daniel remained committed to his own beliefs.
Msiweek1part2
The document discusses how the church must change and adapt to reach people in a changing world. It argues that our understanding of Christ should shape our understanding of mission, which then determines our view of what the church is. The mission of God, or missio dei, involves seeing what God is doing in the world and joining in those activities to participate in God's work.
Is Radical Orthodoxy Like Jumbo Shrimp
Radical Orthodoxy is a theological movement that aims to (1) be radically postmodern by rejecting modernity's emphasis on rationalism and foundationalism, (2) be brazenly theological by asserting theology as the master discourse, and (3) be rigorously confessional by returning to the sources of early Christian thinkers. It promises to bring theology back into public discourse, challenge secularism's claims of neutrality, and emphasize the church's role in society. However, critics argue it may limit interdisciplinary dialogue, lacks clear guidelines for determining theological sources, and its emphasis on metaphysics could override other aspects of theology.
INTRO TO WORLD RELIGION WEEK 1 Quarter 3.pptx
This document discusses key concepts related to religion, belief systems, worldviews, and spirituality. It defines religion as an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship gods. Spirituality is defined as relating to the human spirit or soul, and can exist independently of religion. The document explores various perspectives on the origins and purposes of religion. It also distinguishes theology, philosophy of religion, and spirituality as related but distinct concepts in the study of religion. Examples are provided to illustrate how social environments and upbringings can influence individuals' religious worldviews and development.
Mysticism and Social Transformaion
This document discusses the link between mysticism and social transformation. It argues that modern philosophy and psychology often neglect the social contexts that influence mystics and how mystics act to transform society. The document examines different definitions and typologies of mysticism, and critiques approaches that reduce mysticism to just a psychological experience. It explores the prophetic dimension of mysticism and how some mystics work to enact social change. The document also discusses how mystical experiences and texts can empower individuals to challenge social injustices and resist oppressive power structures.
Maimonides
This document discusses spirituality and its impact on quality of life for older adults. It defines spirituality as the search for meaning and purpose in life, distinct from but not excluding religion. Key aspects of spirituality for older adults include reflecting on life, relationships and legacy. Spiritual care focuses on sources of hope, personal beliefs/practices, and effects of illness. Challenges to care include providers' awareness of their own spirituality and respecting patient differences. Overall it explores how addressing existential questions can help older adults cope with life changes.
SociologyExchange.co.uk Shared Resource
This document discusses various definitions and perspectives on what constitutes religion. It examines substantive definitions that focus on the core beliefs and practices of religion, such as a belief in supernatural beings or relating to sacred concepts. It also looks at functional definitions that emphasize how religion strengthens social bonds and integration. The document notes criticisms of these approaches and alternatives like social constructionism. Examples are provided to illustrate how different definitions can lead to varying views on whether certain beliefs or practices are religious.

Sacred and profane in Mircea Eliade's theory - Alexis karpouzos
In Mircea Eliade’s thought, religion is seen as a universal and fundamental aspect of human existence, characterized by the experience of the sacred and the profane. Eliade believed that religion originates from an irreducible experience of the sacred, which is common to most human beings. This experience seeks outward cultural expression in myths and rituals. He emphasized that religious phenomena must be understood as uniquely and irreducibly religious, expressing meaning on a religious plane of reference.
Eliade’s understanding of religion includes the idea that religiousness and creativity are major human attributes that produce myths, rites, images, and symbols—collectively referred to as “religious creations”—that convey human experiences and carry worlds of meaning. His work suggests that without some experience of the sacred, profane existence is seen as meaningless, and he identified this basic schema in all religions. Overall, Eliade’s view of religion is deeply intertwined with his concept of the sacred, and he saw religion as a key to understanding the human condition and the search for meaning.
Constructive Theology in Deconstructive Wineskins
The document discusses several major thinkers and their impacts on theology, including Darwin and his theory of evolution challenging biblical authority; Marx arguing that ideas are products of economics rather than causes; Foucault examining power/knowledge and regimes of truth; Lyotard declaring the death of metanarratives; Levinas prioritizing ethics and the relationship to the other; and Derrida deconstructing logocentrism and the privileging of presence over difference. Theology after these thinkers grapples with rethinking core doctrines like anthropology, Christology, and soteriology through constructive engagement with these challenging perspectives.
J and l ideology (1)(2)
Ideologies can set boundaries for society but can also be exclusionary and impose limitations. They reward acceptance and belonging but also risk punishing those who do not comply by viewing their value as what they represent rather than who they are as individuals. An ideology is a system of assumptions that permeates a society's productions and allows it to interpret the world as normal, demonstrated through beliefs and practices, though outsiders may see contradictions.
Postmodernism for Beginners
This document provides an overview of key concepts in postmodernism. It contrasts modern and postmodern eras, noting that postmodernism involves fragmentation, uncertainty, and constant choice rather than clear structure and identity. Some key features of postmodernism discussed include relativism, consumerism, transforming identity, disillusionment with progress, and the impacts of globalization and technology. Examples like reality TV, Disneyland, and blending religious practices are used to illustrate postmodern concepts.
