Full textIn this dissertation I matched gutpela sindaun, the ‘highest value’ in Melanesia, represented by the cognitive schema of Kamea people through their brand, with the Biblical schema of shalom. The purpose of my dissertation was to show how a Kamea understanding of gutpela sindaun enables them to appreciate Biblical shalom.
I used cognitive studies as it pertains to valuing a perspective of human wellbeing which is all about gutpela sindaun. I did a literature search to understand the schema of gutpela sindaun from a Melanesian perspective. This relates to a scriptural presentation of shalom using the analogy of a tree, which I call Shalom Tree. Understanding ‘human wellbeing’ from the Melanesian world and the Hebraic world helped me to enter the Kamea world to identify their brand of gutpela sindaun (which is yapmea awarmangardi) and helped them make adjustments only as the Biblical input challenges their understanding.
Using ethnographic methods, I had my participants discuss their experiences and then used that to derive their cognitive schema which, in turn, reveals their “understanding” about what they had to know in order to manifest/experience gutpela sindaun appropriate to their cultural expectations. Applying Grounded Theory in my data analysis, assisted me to present their brand of gutpela sindaun through the analogy of the Kamea creation tree, which I called the Haogka Code Tree.
Guided by the principles of Cognitive Theory, I then assisted I my participants to match shalom tree, what God’s view is of shalom (intent) with the haogka code tree, how they understand gutpela sindaun in light their understanding of shalom (inferences). What emerges from this exercise is their development of a hybrid schema, a new hybrid tree which I called the Kamea Kristen Tree.
I have done this dissertation from a methodological perspective that helps me understand the cognition of the Kamea group of people in respect to this topic. I am developing a methodology of helping Kamea people develop their own theology. This methodology can be used for other people groups in Melanesia to research Christian truths dynamically informed by cultural insights.

Full textChristians engaged in mission and worship have been dealing with the issues of culture and contextualization since long before the word 'culture' was even used to describe what it does today in the the social sciences. Christian discussions about the importance of context for mission and worship employ the term 'culture,' 'cultures,' and their corresponding concepts in nearly identical ways to how the social sciences use them. Mission and worship proceed from Christian understandings of salvation history, the mission of God, and the role of the church which derive from theology rooted in Scripture. The terms 'culture' and 'cultures,' are usually defined, however, in ways that exclude any specific reference to Yhwh's involvement in them, from their origins to their destiny. This fundamental dissonance between common assumptions about culture and the biblical record may obscure important aspects of the uniqueness of human societies pertaining to mission and worship from our discussion.
This study raises the question of whether Christians are adequately served in these discussions by the meaning invoked with the words 'culture' and 'people group.' If the concepts of mission and worship themselves proceed from Christian understandings of Scripture, then Scripture is a natural place to look for guidance about how mission and worship have taken place and are to take place in the present day. Here I emphasize certain categories that emerge by hermeneutical tracing of biblical themes related to the topic of ethnic cultures.
I present the study in three parts. First Part I addresses questions about biblical theological views of ethnicity and ethnic cultures in Christian identity and worship. The studies center around the biblical theme of the glory of the nations with the research questions 1) What are the specific meanings of glory ([special characters omitted]) and nations ([special characters omitted]) as they appear in Revelation 21:24, 26 in canonical perspective? 2) What are the origin and destiny of the nations ([special characters omitted]) in Scripture? And 3) How does the narrative of Salvation History clarify the development of the glory of the nations?
In Part II an ethnographic case study of Sundanese Christian churches presents ethnographic data gathered with the following two questions in mind: 4) How have elements of traditional ethnic culture shaped the distinctively Sundanese Christian church movement? And 5) How do distinctive aspects of Sunda Christian identity and worship affect the appeal of the movement?
Finally in Part III I seek to integrate the thematic biblical and ethnographic streams to expose the missiological significance of the glory of the nations as a distinctively Christian concept and category for understanding ethnic cultures. The study culminates with practical recommendations for the re-examination and incorporation of the biblical concepts of [special characters omitted] and [special characters omitted] and a focus on the Hebrew identity within Scripture into mission practice and application to worship and church formation in multicultural congregations.

The objective of this research is to recover the corporal dimension of Christianity, from the point of view of holistic anthropology, taking into account that Christian theology has an historic and incarnational dimension. Centred in the mystery of the Incarnation and Resurrection, Christianity, from the beginning, never despised the body but included it: a God who became flesh, who resurrected and promised the resurrection of the human body. It also pretends to prove this, by returning to its roots, to its sources which draw their foundation from the mystical Jewish tradition as found in the Old Testament and is found again in the New Testament, where the body has a decisive role in the salvation and healing of the human being. Salvation does not refer uniquely to the soul but to the whole Man, in his bodily dimension. The body is axis of salvation. This unity will be discussed, with the modern fragmented vision of the body, the dualist Greek conception, along with other negative influences received during all this historic trajectory of 2000 years. To recover the importance of the body dimension in Christian religion signifies a major change o paradigm, with the possibility of great changes in Christian comportment, where the body will no longer have a secondary and despicable role, but becomes a human reality, divinized by Jesus Christ, manifested concretely and lovingly. To recover the body in Christianity is to emphasize the historic Christ, he who knows how to welcome, serve and heal: actions that are profoundly human, affective and corporal and which invite the Christian to contemplate and imitate Him. Here, the body will be analyzed equally as time and space for conversion and transformation, as for example: respiration, asceticism, prayer, meditation, contemplation, silence, respiration, liturgy, music, song and dance. The human process of conversion is the here and now resurrection. It is the transformation of the old man , proud and egoistic, into the new man , open to the other, changing death into life. It is to rise, today, in Christ, with Christ, in the Body of Christ, since the human mystery only becomes truly clear in the mystery of the Word Incarnate. So, beginning with the body: Temple of the Spirit in Baptism, and nourished by the Eucharist, the Christian lives the Transfigured Body, the Glorified Body, today as in other times. This story is a story of God with Jesus: the human face of God and of Jesus with man: the divine face of the human being. It is corporality in the mystery of the incarnation and the resurrection
Essa pesquisa propõe resgatar a dimensão corporal no cristianismo, olhando o corpo na perspectiva da unidade antropológica, considerando que a teologia cristã tem uma dinâmica histórica e encarnatória. Centrado no mistério da encarnação e ressurreição, o cristianismo, desde sua origem, nunca desprezou o corpo, incluiu-o: um Deus que se fez carne, que ressuscita e promete a ressurreição dos corpos. Pretendo-se, ainda, provar isso, voltando-se às raízes do cristianismo, às suas fontes, este trabalho vai considerar as influências históricas, recorrendo-se à tradição mística judaica, exposta no Antigo Testamento e retomada no Novo Testamento, onde o corpo, objeto deste estudo, tem um papel decisivo na salvação e na cura do ser humano. A salvação não se refere unicamente à alma, mas ao Homem, em toda sua dimensão corporal. O corpo é o eixo da salvação. Discutir-se-á essa unidade, com a visão fragmentada do corpo de hoje, o corpo dualista de concepção grega, juntamente com outras influências negativas recebidas durante toda sua trajetória histórica, nestes 2000 anos. Resgatar a importância da corporeidade na religião cristã significa uma grande mudança de paradigma, com possibilidades de grandes mudanças comportamentais para o cristão, onde o corpo deixa de ter uma função secundária e desprezível, mas torna-se uma realidade humana, divinizada por Jesus Cristo, manifestada concretamente e amorosamente. Resgatar o corpo no cristianismo é destacar o Jesus histórico, aquele que sabe acolher, servir e curar: atos profundamente humanos, afetivos e corporais e que convida o cristão a contemplá-Lo para imitá-Lo. O corpo será, aqui, estudado enquanto lugar de transformação e de conversão, que busca valores de dimensões sagradas e eternas. Serão citadas várias práticas corporais cristãs que ajudam o homem a viver o processo de transformação, como: a respiração, a ascese, a oração, a meditação, a contemplação, o silêncio, a liturgia, a música, o canto, a dança. O processo da conversão do homem é a ressurreição aqui-agora , é transformar o homem velho , orgulhoso e egoísta, no homem novo , aberto para o outro, ressurgido da morte para vida. É ressuscitar, hoje, em Cristo, com Cristo, no Corpo de Cristo, pois o mistério do homem só se torna claro verdadeiramente no mistério do verbo encarnado. Assim, a partir do Corpo Templo do Espírito no batismo e nutrido pelo Corpo do Cristo na eucaristia, o cristão viverá o Corpo Transfigurado, o Corpo Glorioso, hoje, e em outros tempos. Esta história é uma história de Deus com Jesus: o rosto humano de Deus e de Jesus com o homem: o rosto divino do ser humano: eis a corporeidade no mistério da encarnação e ressurreição

Full textThe object of this research is the dualism between body and soul in the Brazilian Pentecostal theology, represented by its major expression for the Assembly of God Church. Thus, from the appreciation of the whole human being, take it goals to investigate the Pentecostal theological anthropology, its tensions and convergences with the biblical perspective. The theological emphasis on the unity of the human constitution, that the biblical testimony indicates, contrastes with the historical experience of Christianity, in which the body, always played a secondary status, which remains in Pentecostalism today. This research presents its content in three chapters: Chapter 1 seeks to identify the origin, as well as the development of anthropological dualism along the mains periods of church history. Entitled Pentecostal Theology and anthropological dualism, the second chapter seeks to present a brief aspect of Pentecostal theology, especially considering the data showing his conception of human being. On the way to overcome the anthropology dualism, third and last chapter, is quest its, after describing briefly about the constitution of the human being from some biblical data in dialogue with some authors, means of overcoming of the anthropological dualism. Finally, it indicates to a Pentecostal theology the adoption of the anthropological unity perpective.

Full textThe aim of this paper is the outline of a theologically founded and empirically-psychologically reasonable theory of personality. It shall be christologically anchored. For this purpose at first with Paul Tillich, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Helmut Thielicke the fundamental double-sidedness of human existence in front of the biblical-theological background of the noachitic covenant is pointed out. Within the divine conserving order after the fall of man sin and death dominate, but the reality of the order of creation is fragmentarilly saved as well, so that psychosocial and spiritual health, with reservation of preliminarity, is possible. To achieve it, man must get to the adequate satisfaction of his needs. This can only happen under the dominance of responsibility. Responsibility contains being put into debt and therefore being guilty as well. Guilt and responsibility own ontological depth. As the result of sin man tries to avoid responsibility in the presence of God. His relation to God is determined by anxiety. That's what Paul Tillich pointed out by his ontology of anxiety. The attempts of man trying to overcome the existencial anxiety under the alienation from God Søren Kierkegaard has described by the four fundamental forms of desperation. Their psychopathological equivalent are the four fundamental forms of anxiety, which Fritz Riemann described. These three models of the dark side of human existence are congruent. The double-sidedness of human existence contains that the other side of existencial anxiety is existencial need. The need-models of Fiedler, Epstein and Grawe, which result from the present state of personality-research under regard of neuropsychology, show significant congruence with the models of the dark side. This leads to an holistic model of personality, which demonstrates the negative determination by sin and the positive one by the fundamental needs, including the ontological spiritual need, as an insoluble unit. The common denominator of these models gradually seems to prevail in the field of personality-diagnostic as well.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to critically analyse selected scholarly views on the visionary experiences during Jesus’ baptism. Modern scholars have different opinions about the reports in the New Testament on Jesus’ baptismal visionary phenomena. Some scholars interpreted the events as Jesus’ actual seeing or vision and others accept it as literary creations by the authors, to make sense of the reports on seeing and hearing that are hard to understand. Reports like a Spirit descending in the form of a dove are extraordinary for most people and pose interpretive challenges. The two distinct trends identified in the study of visionary experiences are those who take the text on the visions literally and those who see them as literary creations. There is a new trend in biblical scholarship, which is comparative and invokes insights from cross-cultural research in order to understand the accounts of the visions as altered states of consciousness (ASC). These views are also presented, compared and evaluated selecting three major views from modern New Testament scholars. Among the scholars identified, who take the baptism visions literally, are Dunn, Meier, Marcus, Hurtado, Borg and Webb. The scholars selected, who consider the baptism visions as literary creations, are Sanders, Crossan, Miller and Strijdom. The scholars, who contributed to the new development in interpreting the texts on visionary experiences as ASC, are Pilch, Davies and DeMaris. Pilch uses the theoretical model of ASC and understands it differently from those used by Davies and DeMaris on which they base their interpretations. A scientific explanation of ASC is built from theories about how the brain and culture, together, create certain states of consciousness. All these views are analysed based on the scholarly interpretations from the three definitive trends in the visions research, comparing the caretaker versus critical at a meta-analysis level.
