Synopsis "Resilient Religion, Resilience and Heartbreaking Adversity (in English)"
A resilience theory on religion needs to answer fourquestions. What defines the kind of adversity which isaddressed in religion? What is characteristic for processesof resilience in religion? What defines resilient religionas outcome? Which logic of inference (epistemology) based onour beliefs and experiences about reality binds these threeelements together? The book starts with mapping the field ofresilience theory on religion by addressing all fourquestions. The need for thinking about Christian resilienceand the God symbol is addressed, and the need to be"explicitly contextual" with regard to resilience in SouthAfrica. Next three types practices of religious acting arerelated to experiences of resilience, namely preaching, narrating and discerning.
