Aus den Pilotprojekten und ehrenamtlichen Tätigkeiten sind ein professionales und (teilweise) hauptamtliches Berufsfeld in säkularen Institutionen sowie universitäre Studiengänge hervorgegangen. Für das neue Berufs- und Forschungsfeld stellt sich die Frage nach der Professionalisierung und dem Profil, dem Selbstverständnis und Gegenstand, nach seiner Wissenschaftstheorie sowie nach dem Bezug zur islamischen Glaubenspraxis in Deutschland und der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit. Dieser Beitrag möchte in drei Schritten – in Anlehnung an die Systemtheorie Luhmanns – zeigen, (1) wie sich die neue Disziplin Islamische Seelsorge als eigenständiges Wissenssystem innerhalb des akademischen Kontextes positionieren kann, d. h. wie sie ihre Verhältnissetzung und ihren Beitrag zu anderen Subdisziplinen der islamischen Theologie entwickelt (intradisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit), (2) wie sie die Wechselbeziehung zur Wirklichkeit, zum gelebten Islam und zu den anderen Humanwissenschaften versteht (interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit) und (3) wie Islamische Seelsorge ihren Beitrag für das gemeinsame Leben in der wertepluralen Gesellschaft definiert (interreligiöse Zusammenarbeit).","PeriodicalId":36836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86810310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forschungsfragen: Wie reagieren kranke ältere Menschen auf das Angebot einer spirituellen Anamnese? Was sind hinderliche Faktoren für spirituelle Gespräche in Hausarztpraxen? Methode: Ärzte und Ärztinnen aus 24 Praxen boten 164 ihrer Patienten und Patientinnen eine spirituelle Anamnese an. Mit 29 der Patienten bzw. Patientinnen wurden bis zu sechs Monate später qualitative leitfadengestützte Interviews geführt. Die Interviews wurden mittels Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: Insgesamt hatten von den 29 befragten Patienten/Patientinnen nur elf das vollständige Anamnesegespräch geführt, die Mehrheit hatte das Gespräch abgelehnt. Als Gründe werden angegeben: Vorbehalte gegenüber religiösen Institutionen, Einschätzung der Thematik als „zu persönlich“ und ein Bedürfnis nach Selbstwirksamkeit. Die Beziehung zum Arzt oder der Ärztin wird mehrheitlich positiv geschildert, gleichzeitig wird ein allgemeines Bedürfnis nach einem Austausch auf Augenhöhe deutlich. Diskussion: In den Reaktionen der Patienten/Patientinnen kann die Wirkung einer Machtasymmetrie in der Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung beobachtet werden, verstärkt durch das strukturelle Setting der Praxis sowie durch Parallelen des Gesundheitssystems mit religiösen Systemen, die bei der spirituellen Anamnese zum Tragen kommen können. Schlussfolgerung: Bei Weiterbildungen im Feld Spiritual Care sollte die Sensibilität für das Thema Machtasymmetrien gestärkt werden.","PeriodicalId":36836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care","volume":"17 1","pages":"190 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82999875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Porter","doi":"10.1177/19397909231173908","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/19397909231173908","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction If we are not following Jesus in the way he is leading, then we are not following Jesus. We have been told the road is narrow and few are those who find it. Indeed, there are a great number of alternative, broad ways vying for our attention that subtly or not so subtly distort Jesus and his overall manner of life. In our day, this includes the broadest alternative there could possibly be: the modern way of life that holds out to us that there is no way except whatever way you want. Something like “each one does what is right in their own eyes” has become a basic human right, at least in the western world. To proclaim, instead, that there are better paths of life than whichever we might find personally appealing—even a best way of life—cuts against the grain of what Charles Taylor has called “the immanent frame.” The immanent frame of modernity sets our eyes on the concrete immediately in front of our own two feet, our inevitable and causally closed next step. The call to a big-picture, transcendent frame that leads us in “paths of righteousness for his name’s sake” tends to fall flat these days. The future of Christian spiritual formation has everything to do with whether Jesus and his way, truth, and life—a kingdom “not of this world”—will be seen as a viable vision of living a good life and becoming a good person. And this, it seems to me, has everything to do with whether Jesus’ people—the body of Christ—effectively model the actuality of such a life.","PeriodicalId":36836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care","volume":"15 1","pages":"3 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74497778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While affection is, undoubtedly, at the heart of his theological enterprise, one might mistakenly assume that affections are equivalent to our contemporary understanding of emotions. This article argues that this is a reduction of Edwards’s view, who advances a theological psychology rather than its secular counterpart. To address the question of what an emotion is within the context of Edwards’s theological psychology, this article addresses Edwards’s use of the term “emotion” alongside of his understanding of the affections and the passions within both an unregenerate and a regenerate frame. This focus is developed, not for its own sake, but to consider inquiries concerning the felt experience of the Christian life of affection, and questions concerning the formation of one’s experiential life.","PeriodicalId":36836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care","volume":"9 1","pages":"31 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82016792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article provides a historical review of the spirituality of insomnia. While sleep is a necessity to function well followers of Jesus from every tradition across the centuries have often practiced an asceticism that privileged their prayers over their sleep. Yet paradoxically to neglect sleep produces a myriad of consequences that weakens a person spiritually both in relation to God and others. This confronts every sleepless disciple with the decision whether they will respond with anger or acceptance of their lack of sleep. The largest section of this essay focuses on how believers sought to cope with God’s “disguised sweetness” during the night watches. Their responses can be summarized primarily in two ways, proper preparation for setting the best mood for falling asleep and more difficultly how to respond when you awake and can’t resume sleeping. Central to coping with insomnia is the recognition that God is the Lord of all time and is in as much control of the wakeful nights as the during the normal days.","PeriodicalId":36836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care","volume":"25 1","pages":"68 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85288218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Totaling 522 pages and based on his 2016 PhD dissertation at Aberdeen (a mere 246 pages in comparison), it is the most ambitious project to date on the university professor, speaker, and spiritual writer who became a decisive figure in the spiritual formation movement among Protestants and evangelicals over the past half-century. Robb’s monograph is learned but not inaccessible, lucidly written and impressively argued, stunningly novel yet faithful to its subject. At his fingertips he has a seemingly endless reservoir of Willard quotations and citations from obscure audio recordings and unpublished papers, dating from the early 1970s to 2013, the year of his passing. Simply stated, The Kingdom Among Us is a landmark work in the study of Willard’s thought. For the foreseeable future, all serious scholarship on his theology will have to go through it. This essay seeks to guide the reader into Robb’s book, describe some of its main themes and findings, challenge one of its ideas, and above all, reflect on its importance. The volume may be categorized broadly as a study of Willard’s soteriology, but it is more specifically focused on his view of faith, or “pisteology” as it is sometimes referred to in historical theology. Robb suggests there are “two canonically sanctioned and wholly orthodox ways of viewing the life of Jesus,” the first being a mature Christology, which is God’s eye view (53). The second is a ground-level Christology, from the view of Jesus’ first listeners. Robb chooses the latter route because, he contends, it best aligns with Willard’s reading of not only the gospel narratives but the history of redemption as a whole. Having chosen his path, Robb proposes, using the Willardian corpus, a three-stage framework for exploring how Jesus’ first listeners would have progressively apprehended the person and message (gospel) of Jesus. In the first stage, Jesus is seen as a prophet in the tradition of those in the Old Testament who have special relations to God and act on his behalf; as such, Jesus is perceived to have access to the kingdom of God. In the second stage, Jesus is understood as an anointed teacher or mediator of the kingdom, one through whom his listeners themselves can access God’s kingdom. And in the third stage, Jesus is realized to be the very king of the kingdom, thus the friendship his listeners have with him is a friendship they have with God.

Next, seminary professor J. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu examines spiritual formation from an African perspective in the Pentecostal/ charismatic tradition. Contrasting Enlightenment-shaped churches, he highlights the mainstream role the Holy Spirit plays in the ecclesial identity of African Christians. In this view, a lack of flourishing is the result of supernatural evil forces at work, and the Spirit is integral for the interventionist ministries of healing and deliverance. Finally, NT professor HaYoung Son explores the spiritually formative properties of failure and endurance. In the Korean culture, failure is difficult to confront, and honor-shame dynamics foster a competitive environment requiring endurance to save face. Son juxtaposes these dynamics with a study of Peter’s failures, ultimately demonstrating failure’s blessing: occurring under the Lord’s care, it invites perseverance in His strength. Failure’s inevitability makes this instructive for believers in every cultural setting. This marvelous collection of voices will connect with pastors, scholars, and thoughtful learners seeking to expand their understanding and approach to spiritual formation. By extension this will benefit classrooms and congregations alike. The conversations initiated by this volume brilliantly inject diverse perspectives into the spiritual formation conversation, while also exacting important critiques of the embedded grooves that the church—and the western church especially—has fallen into regarding the nature of spiritual formation. A significant contribution this volume makes is the repeated invitation to view the “both-ands” crucial in our approaches to spiritual formation: it’s about both head and heart, information and transformation, individual and community, Pentecostal and Anglican, African and Taiwanese voices, and, and, and... One “drawback” is that readers may be left wanting more: more examples from non-Western cultures, and more female voices, and more attention to embodied approaches to formation. Any book that whets the appetite for more is accomplishing something important. This one will inspire future such collaboration within the global body of Christ toward a fuller understanding of spiritual formation.","PeriodicalId":36836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care","volume":"12 2 1","pages":"179 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81255784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
