En este breve artículo deseo esbozar las diversas posiciones que existen a lo largo de la Comunión Anglicana (así como los cuerpos anglicanos que no pertenecen a la Comunión) con respecto a la cuestión de la ordenación de mujeres. Mi intención no es respaldar ningún enfoque, sino comunicar que no hay simplemente dos opciones, sino muchas más.

Spanish abstract: El lenguaje no puede entenderse al margen de la evolución. No basta sólo con explicar el surgimiento evolutivo de una “capacidad de lenguaje”, sino que también hay que explicar la evolución del lenguaje en sí, el lenguaje en acto y no en potencia. En suma, no sólo se trata de averiguar si nuestros ancestros hablaban, pues hoy c…[Read more]

This book is not a set of introductory essays. It has been written with the more seasoned philosopher in mind. I follow Leslie Dewart’s general understanding of consciousness as a means of personal
adjustment based upon the unique experience of a human being. He notes that consciousness as “human adjustment differs from the animal kind in that m…[Read more]

This essay is an invitation to examine the powers of death, particularly the modes by which such powers are manifested in the world, modes that relate to but are irreducible to an individual’s life. It considers contributions to the subject from Karl Barth, Walter Wink, and William Stringfellow, among others, to argue that while death and its a…[Read more]

This short reflection argues that, in the face of natural crises that occur in the world, responsible Christian speech requires a much fuller and more thickly textured understanding of creation than is often presented. Reading the Bible leads us to avoid speculating on the origins or purposes of such crises. Rather, it bears witness to the divine…[Read more]

A chapter on Karl Barth’s doctrine of sanctification.

Deep time comes in many forms, including a range of temporal frames, and various approaches to more ethical engagement with the biosphere. In this paper, I explore the recent use and contestation of history, in light of its legacy as a Christian theo- logical project (from Eusebius and Bede into more recent renderings) and a potent political tool.…[Read more]

This paper explores interpretations of the Japanese parliament by governmental actors in the Qing empire, most importantly the commissioners for constitutional research Li Jiaju 李家駒 (1871–1938) and Dashou 達壽 (1870–1939). It shows that, within a theoretical framework formed in dialogue with their Japanese constitutionalist colleagues, these actors…[Read more]

In this paper, I have tried to define social justice in the Indian context and about the dangers shadowing its basic concept.

Social justice means providing justice to all those people who have had to face injustice having been subject to some form of dominance. They may have had to face injustice due to their varna, ethnicity, profession,…[Read more]

समाजिक न्याय की अवधारणा क्या है?
भारत में सामाजिक न्याय का संघर्ष मुख्य रूप से द्विजों और शूद्रों-अतिशूद्रों-आदिवासियों के बीच है। द्विज अल्पसंख्यक हैं जबकि शुद्र-अतिशूद्र-आदिवासी बहुसंख्यक। देश के लोकतंत्र पर राज करने वाली दोनों प्रमुख पार्टियां – कांग्रेस और भारतीय जनता पार्टी – अपने संगठन में ओबीसी प्रकोष्ठ, दलित प्रकोष्ठ, आदिवासी प्रकोष्ठ…[Read more]

त्रिवेणी संघ की सक्रियता का काल 1933 से लेकर 1942 ईसवी तक माना जाता है। इस समय ”बीसवीं सदी अपने शैशवकाल को समाप्त कर युवावस्था को प्राप्त कर रही थी। ’जागरूक होते पिछड़े-दलित समुदायों और उनके दमन, शोषण की चौतरफा कोशिश के बीच जन्मे त्रिवेणी संघ का ”उद्देश्य तथा कार्यक्रम शोषित, शासित तथा दलित यानी सभी अनुन्नत समाज की उन्नति’’ था। उसने उद्घोष क…[Read more]

This chapter examines how historical and critical modalities of reading sacred scripture became central to modern biblical studies. It examines what “criticism” was, whence it came, what it did, and which critiques it sustained, before considering its prospects for future historical and literary analysis of the Bible.

From many Aboriginal elders, such as Tjangika Napaltjani, Bob Williams and Djiniyini Gondarra, to painters, such as Arthur Boyd, Pro Hart and John Forrester-Clack, from historians, such as Manning Clark, and poets, such as Maureen Watson, Francis Webb and Henry Lawson, to celebrated novelists, such as Joseph Furphy, Patrick White and Tim Winton,…[Read more]

The Christian faith is concerned not simply with what we might call “ideas” or “beliefs” but is also profoundly attentive to the question “How then shall we live?” This essay suggests ten particular habits and convictions that undergird, make judgements about, and give shape to Christian faith communities committed to pursuing such a question in…[Read more]

This essay attends to the relationship between our ethnic, social, and cultural identities, and the creation of the new communal identity embodied in the Christian community. Drawing upon six New Testament texts – Ephesians 2:11–22; Galatians 3:27–28; 1 Corinthians 7:17–24 and 10:17; 1 Peter 2:9–11; and Revelation 21:24–26 – it is argued that t…[Read more]

This essay takes three aims: (i) to map in brief the theo-historical genesis of the semper reformanda aphorism; (ii) to consider that idea vis-a-vis the Reformed habit of confessing Jesus Christ; and (iii) to suggest one area where the witness of many Reformed communities today might call for urgent
attention in the spirit of the semper.
