    No full text
    U ovom se radu pokušava pružiti presjek liturgijskopastoralnih i liturgijsko teoloških tema u pedestodgodišnjem izlaženju ‘Službe Božje’. Časopis ‘Služba Božja’, naime, jedini je teološki časopis koji u svojem podnaslovu i u svojem tematskom određenju ima za cilj promišljanje liturgije i liturgijske obnove u pastoralnome kontekstu. Kroz transverzalni pregled autor pokušava iščitati temeljne odrednice i glavne teološkoliturgijske teme ‘Službe Božje’. Prema mišljenju autora, riječ je\ud o četiri susljedne faze u kojima se dade prepoznati kontinuitet i različitost, nagnuća i prekidi, u svakom slučaju živ dinamizam ‘Službe Božje’ kao mjesta teološkoga i pastoralnoga promišljanja liturgije kod nas. Prvu fazu autor smatra programskom jer je u njoj nastala ‘Služba Božja’ kao ‘liturgijska revija’. U drugom razdoblju, obilježenim koncilskom i neposredno postkoncilskom obnovom ‘Služba Božja’ također biti mjesto zauzetoga promišljanja liturgije i liturgijske obnove kod nas. U svojem daljnjem razvoju ‘Služba Božja’ će više naginjati teološko-pastoralnih temama, te će se faktički preobraziti u teološki časopis. I na koncu, najnovije razdoblje ‘Službe Božje’ obilježeno je ‘traganjem za liturgijskim temama’ što ujedno otvara prostora promišljanju liturgijskoga identiteta ovoga časopisa u budućnosti.This work is trying to give a cross-section view of liturgicalpastoral and liturgical theological themes in the fifty years of publishing the Divine Service. The periodical Divine Service is the only theological periodical with the aim, as shown in its subtitle and thematic determination, to analyze liturgy and liturgical renewal in pastoral context. Through the sectional view the author is trying to find the basic guidelines and main theologicalliturgical themes of Divine Service. In the author’s opinion there are four successive phases in which one can recognize the continuity and diversity, tendencies and interruptions, a vivid dynamism of Divine Service as a place of theological and pastoral analysis of liturgy with us. The author finds the first phase to be programmatic as Divine Service emerged in it as a “liturgical review”. The second part was characterized by the Council and Post Council renewal and Divine Service was engaged by liturgy analysis and liturgy renewal. In its subsequent development Divine Service will pass to theological-pastoral themes and actually it transformed into a theological periodical. In the end, the recent period of Divine Service has been characterized by the “searching for liturgical themes” which at the same time opens up the space for the analysis of liturgical identity of this periodical in the future

    Homiletic materials in 'Divine Service'

    Liturgijsko-pastoralni časopis “Služba Božja” kroz 50 godina izlaženja donosio je i priloge za homiletsku građu što je bio jedan od oblika podupiranja liturgijske obnove što ju je naznačio Drugi vatikanski sabor. Auktor u ovom članku analizira priloge homiletske građe objavljene u časopisu i popratnim izdanjima stavljajući ih u kontekst gibanja u Crkvi toga vremena. Osobito je značajno usmjeravanje homilije prema svetopisamskim čitanjima što su se naviještala u nedjeljnom bogoslužju i promicanje homilije kao sastavnog dijela bogoslužja. Ukazujući na pravo mjesto i ulogu homilije u bogoslužju, autor sugerira i moguće perspektive za daljnje usmjeravanje časopisa koji bi i dalje trebao biti pomoćno sredstvo pastoralnim radnicima kod pripremanja i izvođenja bogoslužja. U tom poslu ovdje se zadržavamo na homiliji i problemima što se pojavljuju. Osobit je naglasak stavljen na prilagođavanje naviještenom Pismu ali i stanju slušatelja naviknutih na nove načine govorne komunikacije.In the fifty-year period of publishing, the liturgical-pastoral periodical Divine Service has brought some contributions of homiletic materials. In this article the author analyzes the contributions of homiletic materials published in the periodical and in concurrent editions putting them in the context of thattime Church developments. It is important to point out the directing of the homily towards the Bible readings announced on Sunday service and promoting the homily as an integral part of liturgy. Indicating the proper place and role of the homily in liturgy, the author also suggests possible prospects for further guidelines of the periodical which should continue assisting the pastoral workers in preparing and carrying out the liturgy

    Theological thought and life of Church in 'Divine Service'

    U ovom radu autor pruža uvid u dominantne teološke teme u pedeset godina časopisa Služba Božja, te upućuje na njihovo značenje za život Crkve. Rad je podijeljen na tri dijela. U prvom dijelu objašnjeno je početno liturgijsko-pastoralno usmjerenje časopisa u kontekstu Drugog vatikanskog sabora i poslijesaborske liturgijske obnove. U drugom dijelu, autor analitički prikazuje četiri razdoblja života časopisa, vidljiva u načinu oblikovanja časopisa i u pomicanju teoloških naglasaka od liturgijske na pastoralnu i opće teološku problematiku. U tom središnjem dijelu rada posebno je istaknut doprinos Službe Božje u nastojanjima oko provođenja liturgijske obnove, u brizi oko teološkog produbljenja vjere, u sustavnim pastoralnim poticajima i raznovrsnim inicijativama, kako u liturgijsko-katehetskoj tako i u sakramentalnoj praksi, a što se pokazalo značajnim za život Crkve u Hrvata. U trećem dijelu postavljeno je nekoliko pitanja o teološkoj viziji ove liturgijskopastoralne revije i mogućim promjenama koja autor smatra relevantnima za budućnost časopisa.In this work the author gives an insight into the major theological topics in the period of fifty years of the periodical Divine Service, and points at their significance for the life of Church. The work is divided into three parts. The first part explains the initial liturgical-pastoral orientation of the periodical in the context of the Second Vatican Council and post council liturgical renewal. In the second part the author analytically presents the four periods of the periodical, visible in the periodical design and in shifting the theological emphases from liturgical to pastoral and general theological issues. In that central part of the work the author particularly points out the contribution of Divine Service in efforts to carry out liturgical renewal, to theologically deepen the faith, to give impulse to pastoral and other initiatives in liturgical-catechetic and also in sacramental practice, which has turned out to be important for the life of Church with the Croats. The third part puts some questions about theological vision of this liturgical-pastoral review and possible changes that the author finds to be relevant for the future of the periodical

    Peri-urban transformations : Changing land markets and (in)security in peri-urban Accra, Ghana

    No full text
    This chapter analyses recent transitions within Accra’s peri-urban land market. It explores pressures on peripherally located land in the context of significant affordability issues in wider Accra and the ways in which land originally owned and managed by customary authorities in the main is increasingly the focus and object of a proliferation of new actors in the city’s land market. Speaking to the speculative logic, the chapter distinguishes between primary land providers and delivery channels (including chiefs and family heads controlling customary land), and newer entrants including real estate companies, welfare associations, individuals, land agents and landguards. These ‘secondary’ land providers and intermediaries form part of the complex set of actors at the centre of rapidly rising land prices and stories of land-grabbing. Much of the housing being built is done so individually outside of the formal land and planning mechanisms, and these changes to Accra’s peripheries directly reflect the transitioning and auto-constructed logics of African urban peripheries

    Divine Agency and Divine Action, Volume I

    No full text
    This book lays the groundwork for a constructive contribution to the contemporary debate regarding divine action. It argues that the concept of divine action is not a closed concept, like knowledge, but an open concept with a variety of context-dependent meanings. In the first part of this volume, the author charts the history of debate about divine action among key Anglophone philosophers of religion, and observes that they were largely committed to this erroneous understanding of divine action as a closed concept. After developing an argument that divine action should be understood as an open, fluid concept, the author engages the work of William Alston, Process metaphysics, quantum physics, analytic Thomist philosophy of religion, and the theology of Kathryn Tanner. Deficiencies in these proposals regarding divine action are noted appreciatively. Then the author argues that divine action as an open concept must be shaped by distinctly theological considerations, and thus all future work on divine action among philosophers of religion must change to accord with this vision. Only deep engagement with the Christian theological tradition will remedy the problems ailing contemporary discourse on divine action.</p

    Divine Simplicity

    No full text
    This paper examines a variety of approaches in order to make sense of the doctrine of divine simplicity. Discussing the implications of traditional and contemporary philosophical concepts of divine simplicity, the author argues for taking the divine nature as a stupendous substance (in a Hegelian sense) to serve as the one and only truthmaker of statements regarding God, while we can resolve the predication problem which is caused by the idea that, as implied by divine simplicity, God is identical to his attributes if we conceive of the divine nature as an equivalent to Platonic forms.</jats:p

    Fragile and compromised housing: Implications of land conflicts on housing development in peri-urban Accra, Ghana

    No full text
    Existing housing literature in the Global south suggests housing development processes are linear and do not appear to incorporate unexpected events such as land conflicts, which cause destructions, stoppages, and setbacks to housing development. This paper argues that the nexus between land conflicts and housing development can best be conceptualised as fragile and compromised housing. This concept draws attention to the highly violent politics of land and its impact on the housing process, the housing product, and the well being of the housebuilder. Using evidence from peri-urban Accra and drawing on interviews, the study unpacks the lived experiences of individual housebuilders in navigating through land conflicts to build. The study found that the impact of land conflicts on housing development manifests in complex ways including multiple financial commitments, capital lockdown, cyclical building, compromised housing, and compromised wellbeing. Arguably, these findings highlight the contemporary perspectives to understanding incremental and piecemeal housing in peri-urban Accra and by extension, the Global South
