Topic: Progressive Contextualization


In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Contextual Dynamics
The activity of accommodating to the context in the form of contextualization is unquestionably self-reflexive and final in maintaining the capacity of behaving for the sake of the context.
Contextualization proceeding in the forward direction in time is in fact equivalent to preparing an updated context that would come to act upon each individual subsequently.
A photon as a propagating wave is in the present progressive, while a photon as a particle serves as the container of the propagating wave whose progressive movement inside has been perfected at the contour of the container.

 INTR 532 Bibliographies: Introductions
Contextual analysis and contextual theology are, in that sense, latecomers in the missiological enterprise, and as such they have created quite a disturbance in traditional method.
Contextualization is a dynamic process of the Church's reflection on the interaction of the Text as Word of God and the context as a specific human situation in obedience to Christ and His mission in the world.
Contextualization is more than the initial presentation of the Gospel, it involves the evaluation and reintegration of life impacted by the revelation of God's truth; allowing the opportunity to create new and much needed local theologies for the newly emerging church.

After a brief discussion of the notions of "contextual theology" and "models," each model--anthropological, translation, synthetic, praxis, semiotic, and transcendental--is discussed according to four points: 1) the meaning of the model's name, 2) its basic presuppositions and features, 3) the method it suggests, and 4) its advantages and disadvantages.
Annotation: Proposal of tent-making as a more contextualized ministry: Islam favors a lay evangelism approach, foreign workers have traditionally been accepted (though as slaves), and the sponsor or mediator is a means of gaining access within the culture.
Annotation: Advocates contextualizing not only the curriculum but also the teaching methods in African contexts in terms of Witkin's field-dependence and field-independence, giving multiple suggestions for approaching field-dependent students (which their research indicates is more typical for Africans).

 The Gospel among Protestants in the Highlands of Ecuador: Identity and Contextualization
These negative ideas of contextualization and inculturation often have led Protestants or "Evangelicals" to condemn indigenous or Indian cultural expressions and beliefs, and to reject the church´s involvement in social justice in order to concentrate on spiritual salvation.
Over all, the case of the AIECH and the CIET illustrates the contextualization of the Gospel in a contemporary and concrete historical situation and the interface of evangelization and secular historical forces.
Since political participation and Indian identity, rejected by the fundamentalist missionaries and the leaders of the associations of indigenous churches are integral to the definitions of such terms, most certainly one measure would be the intentional and public presence of evangelical church leaders and members in the mass actions of CONAIE.

 ROBERT L. THOMAS 0002
In defense of that theory he said the following: "However, a hermeneutical approach that ignores either the culture of the interpreter of Scripture or the culture of the person to whom he or she desires to communicate, is an inadequate approach" (3-4).
Progressive dispensationalist Pate further illustrates the multi-meaning approach of that system when he joins with preterists in adding Jerusalem of the past to the meanings assigned to Babylon.
No progressive dispensationalist advocating complementary hermeneutics would speak of the church being a new program and a new people in the sense that it was unforeseen in the OT.

The antidominant discourse, according to Barton, critiques the assumption that technology is always progressive by illustrating some of its "less desirable consequences" (p 60).
What Barton utltimately calls for is a contextualization of the research that makes specific contributions to both the domant and antidominant discourses of technology.

 Sermon: Progressive Christianity
Whenever Bishop Spong speaks, he draws a huge crowd, often of these alumni who are hungry for an approach to faith that makes sense, who do not take the Bible literally, who are not afraid of ambiguity, and who are less concerned about dogma and creed than about living the questions and serving the world.
Because the Gospels were written 30-50 years after Jesus’ death and assumes the absence of the hand-washing ritual as typical Christian practice, the author of Matthew reflects the conflict already emerging between emerging Jewish Christian leadership and those who hold to the past.
It is every more touching to hear how these progressives seek to restore the integrity of God’s creation and to bring hope to those whom Jesus called the least of his sisters and brothers...

Concludes: Any theology, to be meaningful and relevant, should be a 'contextual theology.' But the danger of several Asian Christian thinkers is their over-enthusiasm in preferring the 'context' to the hard core of Christianity, namely the historical Christ and the Gospel, as seen in the 'text'.
Sections II and III include guides for Bible Study, one which is formally "contextual Bible Study" as created by theologian Betty Russell, in the United States, and allows women's experience to become a feature along with the experience of others, in understanding the "changing context of faith".
Christians have to rethink their theology, mission and ministry in the light of the contextuality of all existing theologies, and especially the grave mistakes of classical post-Constantinian Christian theology.

 Islands of Order, Part 1
The struggle to prolong life and the tactics devised to cheat death are indeed reflected in the tale of Faust, and can be seen not only in the technical practices of some guitar players but also in the manifestations their music takes over time.
A particularly guitar-heavy branch of the musical world can be found in the vast sphere encompassed by the suggestive term "progressive rock." Many have found their way through this realm; far too many to mention here.
The very word "progressive" suggests a lack of stagnation over time in addition to the idea of breaking with the conventions of the moment.

 Through a Glass Darkly: July 2004 Archives
One element I think he overlooks, however, is the impact of the missiological concept of contextualization on these developing movements.
I suspect an advocate of the emerging church movement would say that the world doesn't set the "agenda" for the church, but the cultural context of the church is the context within which the church's agenda is set and carried out.
I still lean dispensational, or at least "progressive dispensational." Like most progressive dispensationalists, and I think like most of the leaders today in the dispensational church in which I was raised, I don't think geopolitics are so simple or clear.

Even the postmodern Foucault who demanded that we attend to the contextualization of knowledge systems within the power relations constructed through historical and cultural interpretation never questioned whether power itself might also be a socially constructed and culturally embedded concept.
Before proceeding to the discussion of power, however, I will contextualize my own use of terms pertaining to indigenous philosophies, and attempt to place the contemporary experiences and perspectives of indigenous peoples into social and historical perspective.
The pejorative nature of the term "traditional" when viewed as the alternative to "progressive" is obvious.

Just as prominently represented is work on the progressive education movement, whereby the German exponents - with the exception of Key or Montessori - finds disproportionate representation.
Meike Sophia Baader's approach, however, differs from the usual presentations insofar as she starts off from the premise of internationalization of the progressive education movement and identifies in its deep religiosity the basis upon which education was understood as redemption.
The thesis on which the discussion is based posits that the increased importance of (educational) psychology in teacher education runs parallel to the societal trend towards psychologization in the second half of the twentieth century and effectively produces a cult of individualization and personality that is largely removed from the social and political context.

One was the "progressive contextualization" of inter-related, policy-relevant research questions (Vayda 1983).
Together, progressive contextualization helps focus on particular types of human-environment interactions, while the political ecology approach looks at the types of local and extra-local influences on these interactions.
Using these progressive events as guides the researchers can, in group interview, elicit an outline of chronological changes in land and forest use history.

This project uses a historical, progressive contextualization approach to determine dynamic, differential and spatial patterns of vulnerability associated with coping and adaptive strategies of households and communities located within the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System.
The approach focuses on evolving household adaptive and coping strategies in the context of regional and local histories and major environmental and human-induced "shocks." Differential responses are linked to more long-term adaptive strategies of individuals, households, and other social groups.
These strategies are then progressively contextualized within larger, extra-local factors and processes such as socioeconomic and political economic changes.

If the DNC wants to be relevant in our day, it must be re-invigorated by the force of the movement democrats, and must conspicuously re-affirm its commitment to real equality, to general welfare, to diversity, to world peace, to science, and to progress.
Anyway, movement democrats must recognize that those who strive to retain their power against the grain of history are actually opponents who must be fought unambiguously and defeated utterly.

I find this statement, specifically the first part of it, blasé though it may appear, rather alarming.

But it seems rather shocking that reporters are “often” granted access to classified information, for any reason.

However, it is high time that we realize that these governmental benefits are our rightful share and, therefore, with determination we should strive to secure them” (from the introduction).
