Yrkesetik är inte bara en fråga om teorier och tänkesätt. Det har också med personliga och institutionella ramar och förutsättningar att göra, och kräver att vi förhåller oss till många olika nivåer av den sociala verkligheten. Allt arbete med människor inbegriper otaliga situationer då etiska överväganden måste göras. Men vad innebär det egentligen att göra rätt då olika värden står emot varandra? Hur kan man lösa etiska dilemman? Etik i arbete med människor introducerar etik och etiskt tänkande för personal inom socialtjänst, vård och skola. Boken behandlar etik och moral som ett grundvillkor för mänsklig existens: sårbarhet, beroende och dödlighet i relation till önskemål om självbestämmande över sitt eget liv. Olika etiska riktningar, som pliktetik, nyttoetik och närhetsetik. I boken ägnas ingående uppmärksamhet åt en modell för etiska överväganden, KLOK-modellen.Denna tredje upplaga av boken placerar etiken i en bredare personlig, samhälls- och kulturell kontext. Etik i arbete med människor vänder sig till universitets- och högskolestuderande inom de sociala, vårdande och pedagogiska programmen och kurserna. Den starka kopplingen mellan teori och praktisk tillämpning gör den även lämplig som vidareutbildningsmaterial för yrkesverksamma.

Jan-Olav Henriksen reconstructs and analyzes Christianity as a cluster of practices that manifest a distinct historically and contextually shaped mode of being in the world. Henriksen suggests that these practices imply a complicated relationship between the tradition in which they originate, the community that emerges from and is constituted by that tradition, and the individuals who appropriate the tradition that these communities mediate through their practices. Thus, to think of Christianity simply in terms of belief is misleading and represents an underdetermination of its distinct character. Henriksen further argues this relationship needs to be described primarily as practices aimed at orientation and transformation. His analysis points to Christianity’s similarity to other religions in regard to the functional or pragmatic dimensions it displays. Examining facets such as prayer, the use of scripture, preaching and doctrine, Henriksen emphasizes that the element that makes a practice distinctively Christian is how it relates to and is informed by the Jesus story.

Climate Change and the Symbol Deficit in the Christian Tradition
Expanding Gendered Sources
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

Skickas
Exploring how the climate crisis discloses the symbol deficit in the Christian tradition, this book argues that Christianity is rich in symbols that identify and address the failures of humans and the obstacles that prevent humans from doing well, while positive symbols that can engage people in constructive action seem underdeveloped. Henriksen examines the potential of the Christian tradition to develop symbols that can engage peoples in committed and sustained action to prevent further crisis. To do so, he argues that we need symbols that engage both intellectually and emotionally, and which enhance our perception of belonging in relationships with other humans, be it both in the present and in the future. According to Henriksen, the deficit can only be obliterated if we can develop symbols that have some root or resonance in the Christian tradition, provide concrete and specified guidance of agency, engage people both emotionally and intellectually, and finally open up to visions for a moral agency that provide positive motivations for caring about environmental conditions as a whole.

Post-Secular Condition
Trans-Atlantic and Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Contemporary Religion and Spirituality

This timely, open access book explores modern reactions to the social isolation, materialism and consumerism that have become key features of secular, Western societies.Religions, and Christianity in particular, do not play an obvious part in society anymore as the immediate provider of values and aims. However, there exists a post-secular reaction to this: a longing for meaningful values in the face of community fragmentation.Here, Henriksen and Nelson lead established scholars from a variety of disciplines in analysing this post-secular layer of society. From sociology and philosophy to Africana and religious studies, this work presents a sweeping and comprehensive look at this emerging synthesis between spiritual enquiry and secular ideals. In this work, the post-secular is not be understood as a triumphalist return of religion but rather as an opportunity to understand the recent terms and conditions for religion and spirituality. Thus, the secular and the post-secular are revealed to be in tension, but also conditioning each other.Bursting with intellectual acuity and sensitivity, this is an essential volume for anybody seeking to understand religion’s changing role in modern society.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Lilly Endowment, in the Early Career Pastoral Leadership Development Initiative, based at Wabash College.

God After the Church Lost Control
Sociological Analysis and Critical-Constructive Theology
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
2 130 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book combines insights from sociology of religion and theology to consider the fundamental changes that have taken place in how people think about God in contemporary Western society. It can be said that God has become irrelevant for many people, often as a result of well-grounded ethical critique of churches. Here the authors argue for the necessity of rethinking God-talk in a pluralist and changing context and for thinking critically about hegemonic ways of speaking about God from a moral and experiential perspective, not only from the point of view of abstract theology. Drawing on empirical material from a Norwegian setting, the book advocates a critical-constructive theology with a notion of God that takes human experience and social change seriously. It depicts a God who is an enabler of moral maturity rather than an authoritarian moral instructor, a God who is on the side of the marginalized and poor, and a challenge to unjust hierarchies.

Religion is not only about understanding the world - it is just as much about how to develop and shape the self’s experience of itself. Because the religious self is shaped by our symbols of God - and symbols of God are also shaped by the self, theology and philosophy of religion cannot ignore this interplay, or the psychological dimension, when they discuss what symbols of God are adequate and not. By discussing critically different ways the symbol of God functions in the formation of the self, the book develops a nuanced and original approach to the interplay between God and the self. It suggests that play is actually an important metaphor in order to develop a dynamic understanding of religion’s way of relating God and the Self. This approach challenges understandings of religion focussing only its cognitive claims, as well as those who emphasize doctrinal orthodoxy as the most important element in religion.

Theological Anthropology in the Anthropocene
Reconsidering Human Agency and its Limits
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 596 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The Anthropocene presents theology, and especially theological anthropology, with unprecedented challenges. There are no immediately available resources in the theological tradition that reflect directly on such experiences. Accordingly, the situation calls for contextually based theological reflection of what it means to be human under such circumstances.This book discusses the main elements in theological anthropology in light of the fundamental points: a) that theological anthropology needs to be articulated with reference to, and informed by, the concrete historical circumstances in which humanity presently finds itself, and b) that the notion of the Anthropocene can be used as a heuristic tool to describe important traits and conditions that call for a response by humanity, and which entail the need for a renewal of what a Christian self-understanding means. Jan-Olav Henriksen explores what such a response entails from the point of view of contemporary theological anthropology and discusses selected topics that can contribute to a contextually based position.

Theology in Dark Times
Critical Conversations with Hannah Arendt’s Work in the Anthropocene
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 421 kr
Kommande
Hannah Arendt is one of the most profound and challenging thinkers of the 20th century, and her contribution to the undeniably grim present political and ecological conditions are still of relevance. Her originality lies in her distinctive interpretation of the modern world. She offers tools that help to transcend conventional patterns of thought.Accordingly, the present work argues that Hannah Arendt’s work is of political, ecological and theological relevance. The present book is written because of the relatively limited reception by political ecologists, theologians, ethicists, and philosophers of religion who engage in these topics. The connection between the different horizons within which Arendt’s work is engaged is closer than it might appear at first glance. The book is not only an attempt to interpret Arendt in light of contemporary challenges; it also seeks to reflect critically on her ideas. It approaches Arendt’s work through the lenses of theology and especially theological anthropology. Contrary to what some may assume, the perspective this approach represents does not overlook the significance of historical, political, social, and cultural contexts. A conversation with Arendt’s ideas may play a crucial role, also because of her criticism of significant strands of Christian faith.The book would be of interest to anyone engaged in Arendt’s work and in the dialogue between philosophy and contemporary theology.

Religion as Orientation and Transformation
A Maximalist Theory
Häftad, Engelska, 2017
1 139 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In diesem Buch präsentiert Jan-Olav Henriksen Argumente für das Verständnis von Religion als Ausdruck verschiedener Praktiken: der der Orientierung, der Transformation und der Reflexion. Anstatt Religion in erster Linie auf der Grundlage von Lehre und propositional artikulierten Glaubenssätzen zu verstehen, argumentiert er, dass Religionen in erster Linie als Praxis verstanden werden sollte, die symbolische Ressourcen für Orientierung und Transformation vermittelt. Die Bedeutung von Lehre und Reflexion wird durch ihre Beziehung zu dieser Praxis konstituiert. So bildet die Lehre nicht die Religion. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht ein maximalistisches Verständnis der Religion, d. h. Religionen als eine Vielfalt von Phänomenen, die alle Dimensionen menschlicher Erfahrung betreffen, zu sehen. Dies ist aus einer reduktionistischen Perspektive nicht möglich. Der Band liefert ein konkretes, praxisorientiertes und pragmatistisches Verständnis der Rolle von Religion in verschiedenen Bereichen des menschlichen Lebens.

Research is directed by normative standards which need to be transparent in order to secure the quality of the scholarly discussion. The aim of this book is to contribute to such transparency in relation to research on religion and theology representing a combination of empirical and normative claims themselves. What does this combination of empirical and normative claims imply for the normative standards of research? The contributions in this volume discuss different normative dimensions in contemporary research on religion and theology. Presenting articles from systematic theology, practical theology, sociology of religion, ethics, religious studies and missiology it covers a wide range of issues that are relevant for PhD students of theology and religious studies as well as for others who are involved in research on these topics.

Religious Pluralism and Pragmatist Theology
Openness and Resistance
Häftad, Engelska, 2019

Inspired by pragmatism, this book addresses religious plurality with the aim of bringing forth how it may be approached constructively by Christian theology. Accordingly, not doctrine, but practices are focussed in its analyses of interreligious topics. Henriksen argues that engagement with the diversity of religious traditions should be grounded in openness towards the other, and resistance against making others similar to oneself. Accordingly, the book presents a theological approach where interaction between religious practitioners is considered a benefit and a necessity for the positive future of religious traditions. It will be of interest to anyone who is interested in the understanding of religious pluralism from the point of view of Christian theology.
