Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the relationship established between liberation and martyrdom in the Salvadorean Church. The angle of analysis is the theological biographies of Óscar Romero and Ignacio Ellacuría, both martyrs of El Salvador. The method of theological biography, in this case, allows theology not only to verify the announcement of the Kingdom as proposed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but also discovers a new contribution in the way of interpreting these nuclei of Christian revelation. Liberation and martyrdom are fundamental realities for liberation theology, and they endow it with a specific direction and pathos. Their commitment and denunciation of social injustice constitute a prophetic dimension that serves as a model for an entire local church and in particular for the ordained ministry. I am going to present my work with the formulation of three questions: the link between liberation and martyrdom (2), martyrs and the ordained ministry today (3), the problem of the Universal Church for a reception of the martyrs of justice (4), and some open conclusions.

Abstract

In Nigeria, corruption pervades most sectors, beginning with the executive; the second is the legislature; and the third is the judiciary. The purpose of this article is to examine the aphorism that there is no God in Psalm 14:1–7 and its importance to Nigerians. Several works of literature have not used the aphorism in Psalm 14 in analysing the Nigerian context. Psalm 14 is believed to be written by David, and it shows his cry against corrupters and those who trample upon the rights of the poor in society. This is a qualitative study that used discourse analysis with data gotten from relevant academic literature. Emerged themes include: i) Do as you like (vv. 1); ii) People do not understand (vv. 2–3); iii) the rich and power (vv. 4-6); and iv) judgement is very soon (vv. 5-7). Findings show that in Nigeria, everywhere is pervaded by corruption, beginning with the executive, the legislature, and the judicial arm of government. Most of the policies made by the government are anti-people. Government ministries and parastatals are very much involved in the collection of bribes before doing the right thing.

Abstract

Awareness of the unfair treatment of local cultural contexts in the Christian mission movement during the colonial era is increasing in many communities. This is influenced by the church's increasing awareness of the richness of local culture itself. The Gereja Toraja is also part of that reality. For this reason, the Gereja Toraja has made various breakthroughs to give more place to local culture in carrying out the mission of the church. A number of activities and documents produced clearly show the face of The Gereja Toraja with a more friendly paradigm to local culture. However, this excellent breakthrough still needs to be shifted to the realm of practice and concreteness. This is because the paradigm in question is still dominated by theoretical matters. Through this paper, the author raises Massuru's culture as a case study. Through the efforts of contextual theology with an anthropological model, the author found that in the Massuru's culture, the gospel value contained in Matthew 5:23–24 is reconciliation before performing religious rites. Based on this result, the effort to shift the new paradigm in a more concrete direction within the Gereja Toraja will be more interesting and passionate. In turn, Torajan Christians will hopefully be more encouraged to put the message of the Bible into practice and enjoy their faith within the framework of their own culture.

Abstract

South Africa is guided by the Constitution which entrenches equality among citizens, regardless of gender, race, religion or political affiliation. In the same vein, the Constitution also recognizes the right to practise one’s religion and culture. Religious and cultural practices must respect the diversity of the society. Such respect must also be observed within the community and religious spectrum. It is in this perspective that this paper investigates whether religious and cultural practices are carried out equally within the Black community. The authors, through a review of literature and observations carried out within the Black community, found systemic violations and discriminatory practices between men and women. The authors found that women are being subjected to abuse in the name of culture and that some practices, such as cleansing ceremonies, violate their dignity. The authors recommend a degree of fairness in cultural practices and that both genders should be subjected to the same practices or treated equally.

Abstract

Today, it is highly controversial in Western societies, that humans are made in the image of God (“imago Dei”). This article is looking for a unique feature of man that can justify his special position. The methodological approach consists of contrasting research results and social developments documented in current publications with modern theological and philosophical publications. Our intelligence and the fact that we are self-aware are no longer sufficient as a unique human feature, because biology, palaeoanthropology and computer technology call it into question. This article shows that the soul remains the unique feature of the human being. But often no clear distinction is made between the transcendent soul and the immanent mind. The article therefore emphasises that the soul is transcendent, eternal and a gift of God from transcendence. In order to achieve this, we must abandon the bipartition of man into body and soul and accept the tripartite division of man into body, mind and soul. The transcendence of the soul provides us with a justification for why humans and only humans are “imago Dei”. This gives us a basis for claiming the right of every human being for life and personal realisation.

Abstract

The church is a community united by the Lord Jesus Christ, empowered to be witnesses, agents, and examples. However, reality shows that the church often tends to be closed off and does not consistently practice God's love and justice, whether towards its congregation, among church organizations, or towards the surrounding environment, particularly concerning the issue of abortion among teenagers and young people. This study aims to analyse abortion in light of Psalm 139:13 and outline contemporary church leaders' responsibilities. The methodology employed is qualitative, using a literature-based approach (library research) grounded in hermeneutical study. Hermeneutics universally refers to the theoretical and methodological process of understanding the meanings of signs and symbols used in verbal or non-verbal communication. The approach used is the grammatical-historical study approach. The results of this research indicate that abortion of unwanted foetuses is inconsistent with biblical teachings; therefore, contemporary church leaders have a responsibility to nurture the morality of youth to help them avoid engaging in premarital sex, which could lead to abortion.
