Contextual Method in Theology: Learnings from the Case of Aotearoa New Zealand
No full text The author looks at contextual method in theological reflection using the four elements or “sources” of experience, tradition, Scripture, and reason as a framework for analysis. It examines the case of local theology in Aotearoa New Zealand to illustrate the kinds of relationships among these elements that occur and the process issues we face when we do theology with particular attention to the local context. </jats:p
Contemporary Developments in Catholic Missiology : the Story of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions of the Province of Aotearoa New Zealand, 1861-2000
No full textRestricted Item. Print thesis available in the University of Auckland Library or may be available through Interlibrary Loan.Significant changes have occurred in the Catholic practice and theology of mission since the second Vatican Council (1962-65). To appreciate better the extent of these changes, I have charted major shifts in the story of mission of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, founded in Lyon in 1861. In particular, I have examined the various theologies that informed these shifts. This micro-study of one particular Catholic group offers an entry-point into a consideration of contemporary Catholic theologies of mission and missionary practice. Since Vatican II, there has been a growing awareness of the universal and salvific presence of the Spirit in creation and history. I will seek to show how this has affected Catholic missiological reflection through an examination of the work of selected Catholic theologians. These theologians direct attention to the mission of the Spirit, and to the relation between the Spirit and the Son in the mission of the Triune God. This pneumatological emphasis often has been overlooked in theologies of mission that are more overtly ecclesiological or christological in their orientation. I then examine selected New Testament texts in order to discern the legitimacy of such pneumatological emphases in emerging trinitarian theologies of mission. While New Testament texts indicate that the mission of the Spirit is both antecedent and consequent to the mission of Jesus, the examination of scriptural texts in this research concentrates on the antecedent mission of the Holy Spirit in selected Johannine, Matthean and Lukan texts. My research suggests that an emphasis on the mission of the Spirit permits an understanding of mission that can expand the parameters associated with ecclesiocentric and christocentric models of mission
The Distortion of Christian Ritual
No full text Although we normally expect christian liturgies to have benevolent effects on the participants, this may not always be the case. Christian rituals may not only fail to achieve their intended purpose, they may also suffer from distortion, with harmful results. Two kinds of distortion may be distinguished here: “recipient distortion”, which arises from defects in the recipients of the ritual action; and “symbolic distortion”, which arises from within the patterns of the ritual symbols themselves. We need to attend to strategies of detection and correction, particularly for symbolic distortion. The extensive footnotes to this article constitute a sub-text in themselves: this is a deliberate choice on the part of the author in order to separate basic argument from illustration, comment, and useful references. </jats:p
Intrusion detection and management over the world wide web
No full textAs the Internet and society become ever more integrated so the number of Internet users continues to grow. Today there are 1.6 billion Internet users. They use its services to work from home, shop for gifts, socialise with friends, research the family holiday and manage their finances. Through generating both wealth and employment the Internet and our economies have also become interwoven. The growth of the Internet has attracted hackers and organised criminals. Users are targeted for financial gain through malware and social engineering attacks. Industry has responded to the growing threat by developing a range defences: antivirus software, firewalls and intrusion detection systems are all readily available. Yet the Internet security problem continues to grow and Internet crime continues to thrive. Warnings on the latest application vulnerabilities, phishing scams and malware epidemics are announced regularly and serve to heighten user anxiety. Not only are users targeted for attack but so too are businesses, corporations, public utilities and even states. Implementing network security remains an error prone task for the modern Internet user. In response this thesis explores whether intrusion detection and management can be effectively offered as a web service to users in order to better protect them and heighten their awareness of the Internet security threat
Theology in Aotearoa New Zealand: Endnote library
No full textThe criteria for inclusion in this bibliography are:
1) That an item be written. This bibliography thus does not include references to conversations, liturgies, audio- or video-tapes, dance, painting, sculpture, architecture, or carving even though a great deal of theological expression in Aotearoa New Zealand occurs in these forms.
2) That the work be one of Christian theology. This criterion should be thought of as a tendency along a continuum rather than a clear dividing line. Works included thus tend towards being
a) explicit (or critical or formal) reflections with some degree of self-criticism on beliefs and values, including God, ethics, community, environment, etc.
b) in the light of the Christian Scriptures or subsequent Church traditions, and
c) are intended in some manner to be persuasive with an element of self-criticism rather than simply descriptive.
To put the matter conversely, writings are less likely to be included to the extent that their theological content tends to be a) implicit (as is often the case in novels, short stories, history, and social commentary), and b) if they have no Christian reference (as in the case of reflections from other religious reference points or without explicit religious foundation at all), and c) if they are intended to be merely expressions of personal opinion without any sense of being proposals that invite other people’s adherence (as is often the case in autobiographies and personal comments on religious subjects in magazines and newspapers).
3) That the work be contextual to Aotearoa New Zealand. The term "contextual" is used here in the sense of "local". For inclusion in this bibliography contextual writings are those that make some degree of both substantial reference (more then simply examples and illustrations) and explicit reference (clearly stated local analysis and application) to Aotearoa New Zealand.
This bibliography does not normally include historical writing.

The author of this bibliography would welcome any additions or corrections within the above criteria, at [email protected] document contains a bibliography in “Endnote” library format. It includes reference information and abstracts for theological writings contextual to Aotearoa New Zealand. It is offered as a resource for students of local theologies. This “Endnote” library is intended as a companion document to two “Word” documents also accessible on Researchspace at the University of Auckland (http://www.researchspace.auckland.ac.nz).

Themes and processes in New Zealand theology
No full textIn its overview of contemporary trends in theology contextual to Aotearoa New Zealand, this paper draws upon the two companion bibliographies “Theology in Aotearoa New Zealand: An Annotated Bibliography under Subject Headings”(http://hdl.handle.net/2292/447) and “Theology in Aotearoa New Zealand: Endnote library” http://hdl.handle.net/2292/2265. These bibliographies cover essentially the same material but are presented in different formats. They are both accessible through http://www.researchspace.auckland.ac.nz. They provide the evidence for the discernment of trends in both content and process that is proposed in this paper.This paper seeks to summarise the state of theological reflection in Aotearoa New Zealand in the early stages of the 21st century. Key features of local theology are the movement from implicit to explicit theology and the invitation to inter-local exchange. Within this wider theoretical understanding of local theology the paper offers an overview of the main themes or content of contemporary New Zealand theology taking both an ‘emic’ (insider) and an ‘etic’ (using commonly known traditional categories) approach. It then undertakes a similar overview of the processes or methods used in New Zealand theology
