Free Download Monte Lee Rice, "Pentecostal Liturgical Theology: On the Altar, Willed to Pentecost "
English | ISBN: 0567717402 | 2025 | 264 pages | PDF | 28 MB
This book explores how Pentecostal meaning-full worship frees people into a cosmic liturgy that wills humanity to Pentecost. A liturgical turn has marked recent Pentecostal studies, producing a growing body of liturgical theologies. This cutting edge work analyses four theologians at its forefront: Tanya Riches, Daniela Augustine, Chris E.W. Green, and Wolfgang Vondey. It does so through a "liturgy as primary theology" approach, which defines liturgy as "the church at prayer". Here, Rice shows how Pentecostal experience clarifies liturgy as the church at prayer on the altar.

Free Download Sidney H. Griffith, "The Beginnings of Christian Theology in Arabic: Muslim-Christian Encounters in the Early Islamic Period "
English | ISBN: 086078889X | 2002 | 345 pages | PDF | 24 MB
The articles in this collection complement those in Professor Griffith’s previous volume, Arabic Christianity in the Monasteries of 9th-Century Palestine, studying the first efforts of Christians living in the early Islamic world to respond to the religious challenges of Islam. In particular, the author shows how Christian apologists who wrote in Arabic adopted in defense of Christian doctrines the modes of discourse (kalam) then employed by Muslim controversialists (mutakallimun) to advance the claims of Islam. The writers whose works are studied here developed a truly Christian ‘ilm al-kalam, that is to say a science of defending Christianity in an Arabic idiom borrowed largely from Muslims.

Free Download Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, "Reconciliation and Just Peace: Impulses of the Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer for the European and African Context (9) "
English | ISBN: 3643905572 | 2016 | 242 pages | PDF | 1469 KB
The book marks the 20th anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda. The churches play a central role in the process of reconciliation in Rwanda. The theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer offers fresh impulses, generating intensive discussions in Rwanda, especially in view of the many parallels to his context in the Nazi period. Moreover, the underlying conflict ultimately remains unresolved, especially in Eastern Congo in the region of Lake Kivu, where fighting continues between former Hutu units, other militia groups and government troops. In such a context, the search for a "just peace" is central, and Bonhoeffer’s peace ethics offer important orientational points of reference. The volume documents the Bonhoeffer conference "Reconciliation and a just peace – impulses for the African and European contexts", held in Kibuye, Rwanda, in February 2014. Some contributions are in French. Heinrich Bedford-Strohm is the head of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) and Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. Pasal Bataringaya is Vice President of the Presbyterian Church in Rwanda. Traugott Jahnichen is Professor for Christian social ethics at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum.

Free Download Namsoon Kang, "Cosmopolitan Theology: Reconstituting Planetary Hospitality, Neighbor-Love, and Solidarity in an Uneven World"
English | ISBN: 0827205341 | 2013 | 272 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In Cosmopolitan Theology, author Namsoon Kang proposes a theology that embraces and at the same time moves beyond collective identity position and group-based allegiances. It crosses borders of gender, race, nationality, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, and ability. Kang offers a vision of a global community of radical inclusion, solidarity, and deep compassion and justice for others. Blending theology with philosophy, she crosses borders of academism and activism, and the discursive borders of modernism, postmodernism, feminism, and postcolonialism. Cosmopolitan Theology sheds a new light both in academia and the community of Christian believers by providing a public relevance of Jesus’ teaching of neighbor-love, hospitality, and solidarity in our world today.

Free Download Robert Cummings Neville, "Religion: Philosophical Theology, Volume Three Ed 3"
English | ISBN: 1438456999 | 2015 | 422 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Religion is the third and final volume in Robert Cummings Neville’s systematic development of a new philosophical theology. Unfolding through his earlier volumes, Ultimates and Existence, and now in Religion, philosophical theology considers first-order questions generally treated by religious traditions through philosophical methods while reflecting Neville’s long engagement with philosophy, theology, and Eastern and Western religious traditions. In this capstone to the trilogy, Neville provides a theory of religion and presents a sacred worldview to guide religious participation. His philosophical theory of value enlightens religions’ approaches to ethics, spirituality, and religious institutional living and collaboration. With a detailed examination of plausibility conditions for sacred worldviews, the book concludes with an exploration of "religionless religion" for which institutions of religion are of penultimate value.
