Towards a participatory approach to Bible translation (PABT) by D. C. Chemorion

“…Part of the reason for non-involvement of the receptor communities in the technical aspects of Bible translation has been the lack of an adequate theoretical framework that explains how the community may fit in the translation process. On the basis of Christiane Nord’s functionalist model of translation, this article proposes a “Participatory approach to Bible Translation (PABT)” as a strategy that can be applied to involve the receptor community in technical aspects of the translation. …”

Paganism in Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure: The Possibility of Faith and Ethics in a Darwinian World by Marie Panter

“…While Hardy’s support of paganism has been much debated, the comparison between these two novels shows that everything tends towards an unambiguous praise of paganism, which appears as a possible alternative to Christianity. Hardy reads paganism as a form of pantheism and ethics based on ‘Nature’s Law’, which matches his Darwinian view of nature. …”

South Africa: the arduous task of facing our religious past by E. Oliver

“… The term ‘rainbow nation’ tends to soften both the intensity and divergence of the complex mixture of origins, languages, ideologies, cultures, lifestyles and skills of the South African society.

Morality and religion in African thought by P. J. Nel

“…The assumption that faith or religion is the foundation of African morality can only be partially endorsed when one grants space for hybrid moral constructions between Christianity and indigenous religion.

Ewosṭateans at the Council of Florence (1441): Diplomatic Implications between Ethiopia, Europe, Jerusalem and Cairo by Samantha Kelly

“…This article argues that at the Council of Florence, arguably the most important instance of European–Ethiopian diplomacy before the 16th century, the delegates representing the Ethiopian Orthodox Church were Ewosṭatean monks—schismatics, whose positions were not yet accepted by Ethiopian religious authorities nor permitted to other Ethiopian Christians. It further proposes that the monks’ participation in the Council of Florence was part of the Ewosṭateans’ larger strategy of pressuring Ethiopian authorities to adopt their own religious positions, at a time when the king’s sympathy for their views was not yet clear; that the Council of Florence highlighted Ethiopian tensions with the Coptic patriarch in a way that furthered the Ewosṭateans’ goals; and that subsequent events suggest that their participation in the Council did indeed contribute to their full incorporation in the Ethiopian Church, and possibly to King Zära Ya‘ǝqob’s interest in continued European diplomacy.…”
