Christian theology

It manages to enlighten follower of Christ on how to translate scriptures to deal with life’s circumstances. However some feel that because of past failures the theological approach is not appropriated. (Boulton et. al 130-133) Our thinking as Christians is based on the reading of God’s word and how men of God perceived the bible. A conclusion cannot be draw by the sayings of man (theologians) alone, but should be established on relationship with…

authority of scripture is not a small matter in spiritual development. The goal of spiritual development is for Christ to be formed within the Christian (Gal. 4:19). This formation within is impossible without the Word of God transforming a person’s heart and mind because the Word is God- breathed (2 Tim. 3:16-17). In opposition to the scriptures, Womanist Theology embraces sin, “[A womanist’s]… universality includes loving men and woman, sexually or nonsexually.” (Williams, 1) Moreover…

Mott argues that the basis for Christian ethics lies in the saving grace of God, and of that I couldn’t agree more. His basis can be justified in light of the central theme of the Gospel—salvation by grace through faith (Eph. 2: 8-9). The Christian theology of soteriology underscore the foundational importance of grace in understanding Christian ethics and identifying God as the source. As Mott puts it, “The priority of God’s grace to ethics…

West writes about it. And evangelicals are becoming sympathetic about it. You are familiar with Black Liberation Theology, and you didn’t know it. Black Liberation Theology was developed by James Cone in the 1960s during the Black Power movement as a reaction to evangelical apathy on racial injustice. In his book, Black Theology and Black Power, James Cone explains how he formed his theology: “For me, the burning theological question was, how can I reconcile Christianity and Black Power,…

A Black Theology of Liberation James H. Cone introduced “Black Liberation Theology” to the world five years after the assassination of Malcolm X, two years after the assassination of Martin Luther King, three years before America pulled out of Vietnam and four years before Nixon resigned as President of the United States. “A Black Theology of Liberation,” published in 1970, responded to the racial disparities suffered by Blacks since the inception of slavery. Cone’s premise demanded that in…

Immediately to “Black Theology and Black Power”, Cone writes and publishes “A Black Theology of Liberation”. There, he reflects his deep commitment to the black struggle for justice from the perspective of Christian theology, which helps African American to recognize that the gospel of Jesus is not only consistent with their struggle for liberation but has a meaning central to the twentieth century America. “Racism is a disease that perverts human sensitivity and distorts the intellect”. He…

The lens through which one views the world determines what he sees and how he responds. Lens composition is just as important as function; the same is true of the worldview we embrace. A Biblical worldview embodies the idea that its foundation effects its structure. Thus the purpose of this paper is to lay a foundation for the Biblical worldview, specifically expounding upon the Biblical belief that people are made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26-17) and relating this to the author’s vocation.…

My critical review is about Hays’ argument of homosexuality. My essay is formed with two parts: summary and evaluation of his argument. In order to articulate each part, I chose a way to answer specific questions referred to in the assignment’s direction. 1. Summary ❙ What are Hays’ methodology and important premises? As a way to provide the answer to ethical question of homosexuality, which the church faces with in today’s context, Hays uses the Fourfold Task of New Testament Ethics: the…

twentieth-century theology is usually characterized according to his programmatic role in defining early black theology. Cone is associated with the “classical” moment in black theology’s dissident articulation which led to disciplinary recognition, and generated traditions of criticism and elaboration. This line of characterization that emphasizes Cone’s role in classical black theology is no doubt uniquely important in the history of modern theology, just as his work in black theology must be…

of faith in your everyday life. A faith that cannot be tested cannot be trusted. Although I am not a Christian, I could most definitely connect to the Christian faith and the way that they express it. Unlike many other religions, Christianity is not so much restricted. You’re not required to dress a certain way, do a certain thing, or be at a certain place to express your faith. Being a Christian means to be, Christ-like, using your life as a way to honor God,…
