As such collections tend to be it is rather diverse but deals with various theological, philosophical and ethical subjects in Late modernity.<\/p>\n<p>I am quite proud of my own article: &#8221;Post-Secularity and Post-Constantinianism: The Case of the Evangelical Church in Finland&#8221;. I use Yoder to assess the current situation of the Lutheran Church in Finland and point out some possible ways forward. I would love for it to be read so if you&#8217;re interested I think I am entitled to send you a copy if you ask for it.<\/p>\n<p>To rest of the book is well worth reading as well! Here is the description from the back cover:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">A common basis for the project on which this volume is based is that  one cannot understand religion and ethics without paying attention to  the different contexts in, and by means of which, these cultural  elements are expressed. This approach makes both religion and ethics  liquid, and allows us to see them as based on specific contingencies  rather than as expressions of some essential features.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The  changing societal and cultural conditions in late modern Western  societies pose new challenges for established religion, theology and  ethics: Not only does religion itself appear to be in some kind of  crisis, but also many of the established ways of understanding and doing  religion, theology and ethics appear obsolete, inadequate or dated.  Against such a backdrop, the articles in the present volume represent  attempts to rethink theology and religion with regard to these late  modern conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The volume is the result of a joint  undertaking of two research groups, one based in \u00c5bo, Finland, and the  other in Oslo, Norway, which have since 2006 focused on exploring the  contextual character of theology in understanding both Christian belief  and Christian ethics.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge of the idea that  Christianity appears in new ways \u2013 and in \u201cnew\u201d contexts, and of  investigating what that means, is pursued in various ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This brand new book, published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing includes twelve articles written in the joint research project between us in \u00c5bo and a group of researchers at the (MF) Norwegian School of Theology in Oslo that I have been &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/2012\/03\/14\/henriksen-kurten-eds-crisis-and-change-religion-ethics-and-theology-under-late-modern-conditions\/\">Forts\u00e4tt l\u00e4sa <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":614,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613\/revisions\/614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.abo.fi\/phagman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
