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.
Christianity as Distinct Practices
A Complicated Relationship
AvJan-Olav Henriksen,Hyo Dong Lee
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
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

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.

Saving Desire
The Seduction of Christian Theology
AvF Leron Shults,F. LeRon Shultsm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2011
280 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Traditional Christian theology has generally treated desire as a dark and negative force intimately related to sin - something to be restricted and repressed, closeted and controlled. But, according to LeRon Shults and Jan-Olav Henriksen's Saving Desire, we see only part of the picture if we do not also perceive that desire can be a powerful force for great good. Grounding their work firmly in the experiential realm of human life, the eight eminent theologians contributing to this volume celebrate together the positivity, the sociality, and the physicality of saving desire - that is, humankind's innate desire not only for the "good life" but also, more vitally, for the life-transforming goodness of God.

God After the Church Lost Control
Sociological Analysis and Critical-Constructive Theology
AvPal Repstad,Jan-Olav Henriksen
E-bok
PDF, Engelska, 2022
746 kr
Läs direkt efter köp
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.

Relating God and the Self
Dynamic Interplay
AvJan-Olav Henriksen
Häftad, Engelska, 2017
757 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
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.

Christian faith depends upon the resurrection of Jesus, but the claim about Jesus' resurrection is, nevertheless, disputed. This book, written by a New Testament scholar and a systematic theologian in conjunction, develops the conditions for the claim. It carefully analyzes the relevant texts and their possible interpretations and engages with New Testament scholarship in order to show nuances and different trajectories in the material. The picture emerging is that the New Testament authors themselves tried to come to terms with how to understand the claim that Jesus had been resurrected from the dead. But the book does not stop there: by also asking for the experiential content that gave rise to the belief in the resurrection. Sandnes and Henriksen argue that there is no such thing as an experience of the resurrection reported in the New Testament--only experiences of an empty tomb and appearance of Jesus, interpreted as Jesus resurrected. Hence, resurrection emerges as an interpretative category for post-Easter experiences, and is only understandable in light of the full content of Jesus' ministry and its context.
Reconstruction of Religion

The Reconstruction of Religion explores the thoughts of three influential philosophers--G. E. Lessing, Soren Kierkegaard, and Friedrich Nietzsche--looking in particular at their influential approaches to the relationship between religion and modernity. In a period of a little more than one hundred years, Lessing, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche each developed a different theory of religion. Rejecting the possibility of maintaining religious faith on the old foundation of church tradition, these thinkers formulated new ways of understanding religion in response to the challenges of modernity. Though the conclusions of each system are different, there remain important elements in common between them, such as the importance of "e;religious subjectivity."e; Jan-Olav Henriksen compares and contrasts the thought of Lessing, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, showing that each of these philosophers still has something important to contribute to understanding religion in our own postmodern era. For anyone interested in the position of religious belief in today's world, these reconstructions of religion are of great value. In addition to their place in the history of ideas, these three philosophical approaches anticipate some of the recent issues relating to religion in postmodernity. Henriksen's perceptive work moves beyond the level of historical analysis to insightful rereadings of Lessing, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche that help us better understand the place of religion in our pluralistic society.
Theological Anthropology in the Anthropocene
Reconsidering Human Agency and its Limits
AvJan-Olav Henriksen
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

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.

Critical Conversations with Hannah Arendt’s Work in the Anthropocene
AvJan-Olav Henriksen
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
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

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.
