  • Jesus and the Stigmatized

    Reading the Gospel of John in a Context of HIV/AIDS–Related Stigmatization in Tanzania

    by Elia Shabani Mligo ...
    Biblical scholars often read the Bible with their own interpretive interests in mind, without associating the Bible with the concerns of laypeople. This largely undermines the contributions laypeople can offer from reading the Bible in their own contexts and from their own life experiences. Moreover, such exclusively scholarly reading conceals the role of biblical texts in dealing with current ... Read more

    Constructing the Historical Jesus in a Period of Cultural Complexity

    by Halvor Moxnes, Ward Blanton, James G. Crossley ...

    The study of Jesus has rarely looked at its own scholarly context, at how the representation of Jesus might be shaped by those who study him. 'Jesus beyond Nationalism' examines how - since the beginnings of historical Jesus studies in the nineteenth century - representations of Jesus have been used to promote hegemonic or mono-cultural views. The ideology behind such representation has operated ... Read more

  • Systematic Theology

    A Roman Catholic Approach

    by Thomas P. Rausch SJ ...
    Systematic theology seeks to understand and render more intelligible the central doctrines of faith and to show how they are related to each other.

    Modern Evangelicals Reinvent the Doctrine of the Trinity

    by Kevin N. Giles ...

    The Partition of Judaeo-Christianity

    by Daniel Boyarin ...
    Series series Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion
    The historical separation between Judaism and Christianity is often figured as a clearly defined break of a single entity into two separate religions. Following this model, there would have been one religion known as Judaism before the birth of Christ, which then took on a hybrid identity. Even before its subsequent division, certain beliefs and practices of this composite would have been ... Read more
