My goal as a teacher is to encourage and enable students to ask theological questions, develop their own answers, and\u2014because we live in a changing world\u2014to ask new questions, or answer them differently, tomorrow or five years from now. My preferred method is dialogue education as practiced by Paulo Freire and his followers, to which other teachers have added new insights from the natural and social sciences. This thesis project takes my students\u0027 social context as a starting point and draws from it four common themes of our local culture: identity and agency, vulnerability and security, wealth and poverty, and adversarialism and restorative justice. Those themes are explored in the light of three themes from the Judeo-Christian biblical tradition: creation, covenant, and the reign of God. In this encounter between our culture and the biblical tradition, my students and I reflect on the following questions among others: (1) What can one person do about the world\u0027s problems? What can we do together, through our web of connections? What are we already doing in our families and communities, the ecosystems in which we are \u0022planted\u0022? What is God doing, and what is our role of stewardship or partnership with God? (2) Why are we so vulnerable to events beyond our control? What kind of security can we build for ourselves? Are suffering and misfortune a punishment from God? What reassurance does scripture offer? (3) With prosperity already slipping out of our grasp, why should we take responsibility for the whole world and future generations? What role do stewardship, neighborliness, and compassion play in today\u0027s world? (4) In our adversarial society, how can we depolarize the debate over who is right\u2014and begin trying to make things right? In what ways is God\u0027s purpose expressed by retributive justice, and/or by unlimited forgiveness and the love of enemies? In the final chapter we look for \u0022signs of the times\u0022: the specific wisdom that each side of the dialogue\u2014local culture and the biblical tradition\u2014offers to students and teachers. The dialogue has increased my respect for the students\u0027 local perspective; it also challenges me to help them deepen their awareness of what God is doing, and what they can do, in this changing world." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "BT93 .W55 2012" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2012" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "BT93 .W55 2012_WildeMargaret" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001472/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Wilde, Margaret D." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (D.Min.)--Barry University, 2012.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 124-132)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "vii, 132 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Margaret D.
