Degrees in philosophy and theology

I was in my second year of theology

You're so immersed in a theology of making a fast buck.

And that Copernican revolution continues today to influence science and philosophy and technology and theology.

It isn't a time for explanation, or preaching, or theology it's a time for tears.

The theology was perfect, the timing unquestionable, and the answer as honest as a sinner could get.

Science had been all interlocked with theology, and philosophy, and and and mathematics, which is really not science.

We did not accept the theology that multinational corporations would reduce countries to what economists have referred to as dependencia .

The most essential questions that humans face today those that engender the deepest conflicts have nothing to do with theology. They concern disputes over territory, political power, definitions of rights, and distribution of wealth.

And it's not based on theology or philosophy, it's in the study of the mind, across all these spheres of research, from neuroscience to the cognitive scientists, behavioral economists, psychologists, sociology, we're developing a revolution in consciousness.

It is remarkable that some of the most critical concepts of Muslim religious terminology have now become part of the international language of current affairs. Questions drawn from Islamic theology are discussed freely by the world public, engaging specialists and non specialists, Muslims and non Muslims.

Abelard is credited with the introduction of theology as a critical discipline in Christianity. Yet, he did so by juxtaposing contradictory quotes taken out of context, showing that neither the Bible nor the Church fathers speak in one voice and that readers must decide for themselves.

It may even be that religious language does not adequately express the repulsion we all feel toward the terrorists actions. No feeling of victimhood can justify, under any conditions, such crimes against innocents, and no theology can accept the negation of the human essence that we all share.

Out of the spotlight, countless Muslim scholars and academics have continued to probe the connections between Islamic thought and modern values. Drawing on critical scholarship in history and theology, they have detailed the ways in which Muslims have changed and continue to change their traditions, in different times and places.

Indeed, even Bush s own political base, the Christian fundamentalists, are becoming green, pressuring the administration to sign the Kyoto Protocol because they believe that the environment must be protected just like unborn life. Eco theology and evangelical pro life propaganda have become one of the liveliest branches of the US environmental movement.

All forms of religious fundamentalism rely on the notion of a pure religion independent of cultural variations and influences. Today's Islamic revival shares the dogmatism, communitarianism, and scripturalism of American evangelist movements both reject culture, philosophy, and even theology to favor a literalist reading of sacred texts and an immediate understanding of truth through individual faith.

Syria s Sunnis are increasingly invoking theology to justify hatred of the Shia minority, and forms of Sunni exclusivism, similar to Al Qaeda s ideology and worldview, are becoming the norm. While Assad has secured the Alawite community s renewed support, he has done so at the cost of increasing the very real danger that the rebels will punish all Alawites for the regime s crimes.

If someone came to my door and I was hearing Catholic theology and dogma for the very first time, and they said, We believe that God impregnated a very young girl without the use of intercourse, and the fact that she was a virgin is maniacally important to us and she had a baby, and that's the son of God, I mean, I would think that's equally ridiculous.

We live in an age in which many people are disillusioned with secular politics, and are turning to religion instead, not only throughout the Muslim world, but in the core of Western civilization, Christian Europe and Evangelist America. Nor is the Jewish state of Israel, where Messianic fanatics and religious nationalists have embraced a political theology that questions the very legitimacy of the democratic institutions, immune from this phenomenon.

305. Mrs. Lisbeth Palme mentioned an introductory lecture on the Convention that she had given on 2 September 1997 at the Stockholm School of Theology, and her participation, on 15 September 1997, in a Round Table on Human Rights organized at Lund University by the United Nations Associations of Lund and Malmö, the local Amnesty International Group, the Lund Association of Foreign Affairs and the Centre for Writers of South Sweden.
