- Pope Saint John Paul II on social justice in human workPublication . Van Tran, Huong; Gassner, FranzIn contemporary societies, the issues of industrialization and successive globalization have been affecting deeply the reality and true meaning of human work. The objective dimension of work became more important than the subjective. In contrast, Pope Saint John Paul II affirms that man is “the subject of work” and not merely an object. The human person “performs various actions belonging to the work process; independently of their objective content, these actions must all serve to realize his humanity” (LE. 6), which refers to the eminent subjective dimension of work rooted in the dignity of the worker as person. A lot of research and many interpretations of Pope Saint John Paul II’s innovative teaching in this regard have been proposed and discussed. This study presents how he responded to the signs of his time, by deepening and further developing theology of work that is fundamentally grounded in Scripture, Tradition, and the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church. He demonstrates in depth and extent in his teaching the relevance of social justice as a moral principle by fully respecting human dignity in work, for human beings as subject of work are fundamentally understood as being created in the image and likeness of God.
- Mission in Asia as prophetic dialoguePublication . Hoang, Van Hien; Monera, Arnold TamseMission is missio Dei and Christians are called to participate in God’s mission. But how should Christian mission be done in Asia, a continent characterized by extreme poverty, cultural diversity, and religious pluralism? Based on the biblical foundation and the teachings of the Church on mission, the Asian bishops suggest a threefold dialogue with Asia’s poor, its cultures, and its religions in order to deal with these Asian issues. This research paper aims to explore the significance and implications of “prophetic dialogue,” which according to its authors Stephen Bevans and Roger Schroeder, is the most relevant approach for Christian missions today, for the effectiveness and authenticity of practical theology, especially in Asia. Being such, the Church in Asia shall be the Church for and of Asians and Christian missions can be carried out in Asia in order that all people in Asia will live together in peace and harmony.
- A descriptive assessment of sacraments as language events in Louis- Marie Chauvet and David Noel PowerPublication . Bardata, Kornelius Supranoto; Eleutério, JoãoThis paper is entitled: A Descriptive Assessment of Sacraments as Language Events in Louis-Marie Chauvet and David Noel Power. What motivates the author to proceed with this topic is that the author feels the need of finding a new and creative approach to the sacraments. The author is determined to discuss this topic using the methodology of library reading. The two theologians whose theologies are being presented in this paper, namely, Louis-Marie Chauvet and David Noel Power, are the main sources. In addition to reading the works of Chauvet and Power, the author also gets into discussions with the supervisor. Since Chauvet and Power live in postmodern world, their theology can be of the good readings for students of theology who are interested in the theology of the sacraments in the midst of this ever-changing world. Chauvet, for example, proposes a new looking into the sacraments as language of the Trinitarian communication with his people. The church is the place where this interaction happens. The interaction itself occurs through the listening of the Scripture, sacraments and ethical commitment. In the same rhythm, David Noel Power suggests a theology where the sacraments are read as the language of God’s giving. They are the language of God’s giving because the church is the bodily present of the Trinity in the church. This present is, in turn, celebrated and relived through the Scripture, the sacraments, liturgy, rite, customs and cultures. Through all these elements, the language of God’s giving in the past is brought to life in the present time through the language of the church. Chauvet and Power recommend a fundamental theology through which the sacraments are no longer viewed as alienated from the daily experience of the church.The paper is written primarily as the author’s personal journey into the reflection on the sacraments. The author, therefore, hopes to achieve nothing more important than the growing of a personal love of the sacraments. In the second place, the author expects to have been able to introduce the fundamental sacraments of Louis-Marie Chauvet and David Noel Power to a larger context.
