Informacje o podkaście, odcinkach i autorach: https://teologiazkatowic.pl W tym odcinku wchodzimy w temat teologii religii, szukając punktów styku między teologiczną refleksją a współczesnym religioznawstwem i antropologią. Z siostrą Terezą Huspekovą rozmawiamy o zjawisku religijności człowieka, o „miękkich" granicach między religią a „nie-religią" oraz o tym, jak chrześcijaństwo może wejść w dialog z innymi religiami, nie tracąc swojej tożsamości. Podejmujemy refleksję nad koncepcjami Bensona Salera, Justina Barretta, Karla Rahnera, Oliviera Clémenta czy Raimona Panikkara. Mówimy o naturalnym wymiarze religii w perspektywie ewolucji, o strukturach rytuału, o wpływie kognitywistyki na rozumienie wiary i o tym, co znaczy, że liturgia zakorzeniona jest w ludzkiej cielesności. Pytamy też, co to znaczy, że Kościół jest sakramentem zbawienia oraz o odniesieniu takiego określenia Kościoła do tych, którzy Chrystusa nie znają wprost. To rozmowa o Kościele jako miejscu świadomości daru – ale nie jako granicy działania Boga.

Depois de umas semanas de pausa, o 'Temos de Falar' voltou à antena da SIC Mulher, contando com a presença de João Moleira como convidado. O jornalista e pivô da SIC foi desafiado a falar sobre a sua ligação à religião e à fé, numa altura em que o Vaticano se aproxima da sua escolha de um novo Papa, depois da morte de Francisco. Estará mesmo a ligação das várias gerações à Igreja Católica ameaçada, e de que forma o legado do último Santo Padre pôde inverter tal tendência? Uma conversa para ouvir aqui.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this presentation delivered at the "Metaphysics and the Matter with Things: Thinking with Iain McGilchrist" conference—a collaborative event by the Center for Process Studies (CPS) and the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in March 2024—John Vervaeke explores the concept of "mattering" and its critical role in understanding the meaning of life. He contrasts "meaning in life" with the broader "meaning of life," emphasizing the importance of connectedness and belonging over mere purpose. Vervaeke draws on research to introduce "religio," a deep sense of connectedness that underpins our existence, and critiques materialism for overlooking the relational aspects of human life. Through cognitive science, biology, and philosophy, Vervaeke demonstrates how our intelligence and problem-solving abilities are deeply intertwined with our capacity to find what truly matters. — Metaphysics and the Matter with Things: Thinking with Iain McGilchrist was a collaborative conference put on by the Center for Process Studies (CPS) and the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in March of 2024. This three-day conference brought leading process thinkers across various disciplines, including physics, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and theology, into critical dialogue with McGilchrist's work in a collegial effort to assess, question, extend, and apply it.

Gospel Culture: Translating our Faith for all of LifeThe Foundational Question:What is the relationship of God's Word – revelation to our real life in the world?What is religion? Religio & Religare – to tie/bindColossians 1:15-23“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For everything was created by Him, inheaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – allthings have been created through Him and for Him.”“He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together. He is also the head of the body, the church; He isthe beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything.”“For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile everything to Himselfby making peace through the blood of His cross – whether things on earth or things in heaven.”“Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil actions. But now He has reconciledyou by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him.”“if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith and are not shifted away from the hope of thegospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have becomea servant of it.”February 25, 2024 // Rev. Dr. Joseph Boot“The man who thinks without the proper first principles goes mad…” – G. K. Chesterton“Justice is understood t be something strictly human, having nothing to do with obedience to any divinecommand or conformity to any pattern ‘laid up in heaven.' Moral principles, like all other social conventions, aresomething' made on earth.'” – George Grant“Human freedom requires that the principles of justice be the product of human agreement or consent, that is,they must be the result of a contract…and these principles must therefore be rooted in an understanding ofthe interests of human beings as individuals rather than in any sense of duty or obligation to anything abovehumanity” – George Grant“The terms of the contract may well change as circumstances and interests change. But the restraints freeindividuals accept must always be ‘horizontal' in character rather than ‘vertical.'” – George GrantThe Crisis of CultureModern man is conferring on himself the contractual right to:• Redefine his gender irrespective of creational chromosomes• Murder (abortion)• Polygamy, homosexuality, bestiality or any sexual predilection• Suicide• Euthanize children and the elderly or sick• Homosexual ‘marriage'• Prostitution and pornography• Suppress worship of the living God and the free speech of Christians• Blasphemy and worship idolsThe Crisis of CultureWestern moral principles are shifting like sand and the metamorphosis of the church's relationship with thesurrounding culture is happening before our eyes.The Meaning of CultureThe English words culture and agriculture are derived from a Latin root (colere) and are related to cult (Latin,cultus) meaning worship. Worship, care and cultivation are all related in the etymology of culture.The Meaning of CultureCulture is best understood as religion externalized. The public manifestation of the religious ground-motive (i.e.worship) of a people.“The religious ground-motive of a culture can never be ascertained from the ideas and the personal faith of theindividual. It is truly a communal motive that governs the individual even when one is not consciously aware ofit or acknowledges it.” – Herman DooyeweerdThe Meaning of Culture – Islamic CultureIn the West, we increasingly experience a humanistic, secular culture, deeply influenced by pagan spirituality,which at the same time displays the cultural vestiges of Christianity.The Direction of Culture“Genesis 1:26 teaches us that God had a purpose in creating man in His image: namely that man should havedominion…. If now we comprehend the force of this subduing (dominion) under the term of culture…we cansay that culture in its broadest sense is the purpose for which God created man after his image.” – HermanBavinckRomans 1:25“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served something created instead of theCreator.”The Direction of CultureThere is no such thing as a neutral culture; no institution and no cultural activity can ever be religiously neutral.The Direction of CultureThe structure of something concerns God's creational laws/norms and ordained pattern that pertain to it. Thedirection of these spheres concerns the religious orientation that they have.The Transformation of CultureImplicit in the Christian gospel is a particular vision of culture. The gospel is a culture because it is centered inthe worship of the living God, through Jesus Christ.The Transformation of Culture“If culture is the public expression of the worship of a people and the gospel restores man to true worship (i.e.of creator not creature), then the gospel restores man to true culture which is the kingdom of God.” – Dr. JoeBootThe Transformation of CultureSince the Enlightenment, Christians have steadily surrendered the various organs of culture.The Transformation of CultureSecular humanism has pursued the marginalization of the gospel and Christian church and a change of religionin the public sphere (i.e. multiculturalism).The Transformation of CultureGreat concern for transformation is found everywhere in Scripture.Psalm 2: 1-3“Why do the nations rebel and the peoples plot in vain?The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and His AnointedOne:‘Let us tear off their chains and free ourselves from their restraints.'”Psalm 2: 4-6“The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord ridicules them.Then He speaks to them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath:‘I have consecrated My King on Zion, My holy mountain.'”Psalm 2: 7-9“I will declare the LORD's decree: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.You will break them with a rod of iron; You will shatter them like pottery.'”Psalm 2: 10-11“So now, kings, be wise; receive instruction, you judges of the earth.Serve the LORD with reverential awe and rejoice with trembling.”Psalm 2: 12“Pay homage to the Son or He will be angry and you will perish in your rebellion, for His anger may ignite at anymoment.
