Religion inside and outside Traditional Institutions combines conceptual reflection, methodological proposals, and research results that help to understand contemporary religious praxis. These ...contributions to empirical theology thereby adopt a perspective which includes religious praxis outside traditional institutions.
The field of Practical Theology has been slow to address the realities of environmental crises in its teaching, research, and practice. While there are relevant chapters and articles in books and ...journals, they are often difficult to find and their contents reveal a lack of conversational engagement. The present volume seeks to change this reality by bringing together key voices in the field from across the world to engage with the theme of Practical Theology amid Environmental Crises. It is the first of its kind. With this volume, we seek to initiate a sustained conversation on the topic by considering the implications of the crises for research, teaching, and practice in the field. With passion and a sense of grounded hope, we invite you to join us in this difficult but important conversation.

This essay explores how third-person characters are employed in the letter of James to illustrate theological propositions. The words and actions of the characters are shown to shape social worlds in ...consequential ways and demonstrate the deeply relational nature of the letter’s theology. Using elements of narrative and socio-rhetorical criticisms, attention is given to setting, characterization, thematic development, and networks of signification. The essay demonstrates how storied episodes involving third-person characters contribute to the literary coherency of the letter and illustrate the inseparable relationship that binds humans and God with one another.
