Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The human fascination with images, and the idolatry or idolization of images as the source of desire, passion and terror, is treated in this book. The first part enters more deeply into religious idolatry, past and present. It treats the biblical, the early-Jewish as well as the Christian views on monotheism and the prohibition against images, as source of authentic humanism or as source of intolerance and violence. In the second part, the focus shifts onto a number of contemporary, profane idols and gods: the nationalist fascination for one's own land and people, and the fear or hate towards foreigners; the rampant preoccupation with (genetic) health, in a context of body culture and aestheticization, of which the postmodern sport idols have become the great 'icons'; the current image- and screen-culture and all forms of audiovisual exorcisms; and last but not least the ongoing process of economization and globalization, with an expanding culture of 'branding' logos.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We live in a time when the vulnerable nature of our global interdependencies increasingly confronts us at every domain of society, from politics and religion, to economy and ecology. In recognition of these challenges, this volume assumes the significant diversity of worldviews as an active given and proposes that dialogue is needed today more than ever. The aim of these pages is to awaken both reflection and action towards a form of inter-worldview education in which diversity is a rich opportunity for human flourishing rather than a source of intolerance, violence, or even war, and in which no one can simply sit back as a spectator to dialogue; neutrality is not an option; or, in the best case, an option among options. Authors in this book argue that education offers powerful and unique opportunities to engage learners in movements of crossing over and coming back an approach to inter-worldview education that is only possible when education transforms itself (again) towards the integral formation of the human person, and when power imbalances are acknowledged in the process. This collection brings together the voices of fifteen scholars from seven different Western countries, across the fields of education, philosophy and theology, who speak from seven different confessional perspectives. In dialogue with each other, together they offer invaluable insights into inter-worldview education for the twenty-first century.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book deals with themes concerning religious education and the spirituality of children. Throughout the seventeen chapters, the book stimulates a scholarly discussion about children and theology. The book makes clear that classical Christian theology can benefit from taking seriously children's voices and reflections about children. The volume demonstrates how nuanced and interdisciplinary reflections can be relevant for Christian and social practices of adults with children and how these practices can influence theology. This volume asks the following questions:- Why is it important that we hear the 'voices of children' and what does this mean for how we treat children and relate to them?- What do the 'voices of children' express? How do children experience society and, in particular, religion, and what do they have to say about it?- What do the 'voices of children' mean for theology, ethics and religious education? In what way can our theology change when we see reality from the perspective of children?This book consists of five parts. In the first part the reader receives an overview of the current challenges concerning children and spirituality. The two chapters of this part offer an introduction to contemporary thinking about children, theology and spirituality and the place of 'children's voices' within this scope. The second part refers to biblical sources for contemporary theological reflection on children. The third part contains pedagogical and ethical reflections on children, as well as a view from practical theology about children in the world and the responsibility of churches. This third part looks mainly at children in relation to society, both in the past and in the present. The fourth part focuses on children living in the family, which is seen as a domestic church. The fifth part takes up the theme of children's spirituality again, showing children's own spiritual reflection and ways of theologizing with children in church and family contexts, by communication, literature and all forms of religious education and/or catechesis.
