Bøker av Neil Ormerod

In this explosive book are powerful and authentic stories of betrayal. These personal accounts of sexual abuse by ministers of religion might not have been listened to in the past. Today, the churches cannot ignore them.""This book raises, in almost every story, the issue of power in human relationships. One of the important reasons for its publication is the repeated failure of the church to face this issue. It is so easy to dismiss claims of abuse between adults if we discount the issue of an imbalance of power. These stories face all clergy, and all those involved in client/professional relationships, with the need to come to terms with their grave responsibility and to develop a healthy and honest relationship with their own sexuality.""--Rev.

Fundamental theology is the starting point for the various disciplines within Catholic theology and is where solid foundations are established for engagement with historical, systematic, philosophical, and sacramental/liturgical theology. In Foundational Theology, Neil Ormerod and Christiaan Jacobs-Vandegeer ground foundational theology in the normative drive towards meaning, truth, goodness, and beauty, appropriated through religious, moral, intellectual, and psychic conversions. The work maps out the implications of those fundamental orientations to the specific questions and topics of the Catholic theological tradition: God, Trinity, revelation, and an array of doctrinal points of investigation.
