Après des années d'une héroïque action évangélisatrice de l'Afrique menée par les missionnaires, les épreuves de la vie mettent cependant la foi des fidèles en situation de crise ; situation qui les amène à fréquenter devins, féticheurs, marabouts ou autres charlatans dont ils venaient de se détourner. Crise maintes fois décriée : "chapelet au cou, amulettes dans les poches" ou encore, "le matin à la messe et le soir, chez le devin" (…).Crise qui traduit la quête d'un salut holistique, crise dont tirent profit les "Eglises de prospérité". Cette crise, l'abbé Joseph Belepe la voit avant tout comme le résultat d'un catéchisme cérébral et notionnel, catéchisme sous sa forme bien connue de question-réponse, déconnecté du vécu socioculturel, catéchisme de maître connaissant tout à disciple ignorant tout, catéchisme de robinet à entonnoir...Cette crise montre ce que l'on semble oublier : le Message qui nous a été révélé dans une culture tout au long de l'histoire, ne peut être valablement accueilli que dans la culture tout au long de l'histoire du peuple à évangéliser. Voilà bien la vision et le mérite de Mgr Jan Van Cauwelaert, premier Evêque du Diocèse d'Inongo qui projette à la suite du Concile Vatican II, l'érection d'un Institut de Pastorale Catéchétique pour la formation des agents pastoraux laïcs ; le mérite tout autant de l'abbé Basile Mputu qui réalise sur le terrain cette initiative.Ces réflexions, l'abbé Joseph nous les partage pour faire encore mémoire de Mgr Jan Van Cauwelaert et de l'abbé Basile Mputu (...). La démarche ainsi proposée comporte en elle-même une exigence d'avenir : des nouvelles structures, des catéchistes toujours en activité ou en recyclage permanent pour notre salut à tous. Abbé André Mongo Luako.

In the face of apparently rampant individualism, there has been a steady call for a return to community and tradition, particularly in religious communities and in recent Christian theology and ethics. The form of contemporary life upheld by modern ideals like freedom and universalism, the story goes, turns out to divide people from each other and from the communal sources of our traditionally moral values. But the call to community too often confuses individualism with individuality, assuming that any appeal to individuality as a value or ideal is a rejection of communal goods, rather than a mode of promoting those goods. What's necessary now is a recovery of the individual that understands individuality to serve community, even in resistance to it. In Transforming Faith, Joshua Daniel offers a fresh reading of H. Richard Niebuhr's theological ethics that provides an account of individuality and individual creativity as both the fruits and reformers of community. What is theologically at stake in Daniel's reconstructive interpretation is the human's existentially resonant relation with God and the christological revitalization of our symbolic and virtuous activity.

Compiling scholarly essays from a unique three-year Democracy, Culture and Catholicism International Research Project, Democracy, Culture, Catholicism richly articulates the diverse and dynamic interplay of democracy, culture, and Catholicism in the contemporary world. The twenty-five essays from four extremely diverse cultures—those of Indonesia, Lithuania, Peru, and the United States—explore the relationship between democracy and Catholicism from several perspectives, including historical and cultural analysis, political theory and conflict resolution, social movements and Catholic social thought.

Many believe that religion plays a positive role in men’s identity development, with religion promoting good behavior, and morality. In contrast, we often assume that the media is a negative influence for men, teaching them to be rough and violent, and to ignore their emotions. In Does God Make the Man?, Stewart M. Hoover and Curtis D. Coats draw on extensive interviews and participant observation with both Evangelical and non-Evangelical men, including Catholics as well as Protestants, to argue that neither of these assumptions is correct.Dismissing the easy notion that media encourages toxic masculinity and religion is always a positive influence, Hoover and Coats argue that not only are the linkages between religion, media, and masculinity not as strong and substantive as has been assumed, but the ways in which these relations actually play out may contradict received views. Over the course of this fascinating book they examine crises, contradictions, and contestations: crises about the meaning of masculinity and about the lack of direction men experience from their faith communities; contradictions between men’s religious lives and media lives, and contestations among men’s ideas about what it means to be a man. The book counters common discussions about a “crisis of masculinity,” showing that actual men do not see the world the way the “crisis talk” has portrayed it—and interestingly, even Evangelical men often do not see religion as part of the solution.

Twelve leading scholars have collaborated on this unique volume, bringing their biblical and patristic expertise together to show how the first followers of Jesus used their own canonical scriptures to address concerns central to life in the Roman Empire. Sacred Scripture and Secular Struggles offers an overview of how early Christians approached and appropriated biblical texts in addressing wider societal issues of imperial power, slavery, the use of wealth, suicide and other fundamental issues brought about by the convergence of empire and ecclesia.
