The Third World evangelical missiology of Orlando E. Costas
No full textThis thesis examines the missiological writings of Orlando E. Costas (1943-1987), particularly The Church and Its Mission: A Shattering Critique from the Third World (1974); Theology of the Crossroads in Contemporary Latin America (1976); Christ Outside the Gate (1982); and Liberating News: A Theology of Contextual Evangelization (1989). From the early 1970s until his death in 1987 he wrote over 130 articles and 12 books in both Spanish and English that addressed key missiological concerns. A careful reading of a selection of Costas’s texts oriented around a hymn, a gospel song, a psalm, and a poem provides the shape of this thesis.This thesis argues that Costas formulated a Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter one investigates what Costas’s autobiographical material expressed about his positions on conversion, Protestant evangelicalism, missiology, and those living on the ‘periphery’ of life. Chapter two recognises his commitment to the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean in particular and the Third World in general. Chapter three explores Costas’s analysis of the Latin American Protestant Church in a revolutionary situation in the continent and chapter four examines his survey and critical appraisal of Latin American liberation theology. Chapter five recognizes the pastoral shape of Costas's missiology.
Chapter six explores his critical interaction with two more conservative evangelical missiological positions, the Church Growth Movement and Peter Beyerhaus and the Frankfurt Declaration, and chapter seven surveys the discussion within the international evangelical community regarding the relationship between evangelism and social responsibility. Chapter eight examines Costas’s Liberating News as an expression of Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter nine considers the theological issue of penal substitutionary atonement and his missiology. The thesis concludes with an appraisal of the issues and contributions of Costas’s Third World evangelical missiology to current missiological discussion
High-energy and very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of the Milky Way
Full text linkObservations of the gamma-ray emission from the Milky Way have significantly improved in recent years thanks to the current space instruments such as Fermi LAT and AGILE, and to the ground-based telescopes at higher energies such as for example H.E.S.S., VERITAS, MAGIC, and HAWC. While these high-quality data are providing crucial information on Galactic sources, interstellar emissions, and high-energy particles, they are challenging our understanding. I will discuss the state of the art, recent results, and prospects for future instruments
Local gamma-ray sources
Full text linkThe quiet Sun, the Moon, the Earth and other Solar System objects are sources of high-energy gamma rays. The emission is produced by interactions of Galactic cosmic rays: by nucleons in the surface and atmosphere of the sources via hadronic interactions, and by electrons on solar photons in the heliosphere via inverse Compton scattering. Both emissions depend on the solar activity and hence on the modulation of cosmic rays in the heliosphere. At the minimum of the solar activity, Galactic cosmic rays have their maximum flux, and hence the brightest gamma-ray emission is expected. For this reason, solar and lunar emission provides a unique probe of cosmic-ray propagation in the inner heliosphere. Here I give a review of the gamma-ray emission mechanisms from the local sources, and present
