Description: Focuses on the relationship between doctrine and active Christian living. Pabilonia reviews the Doctrine of the Trinity at the time of the Reformation, noting the consensus on orthodoxy and polemics against anti-Trinitarians. Gorospe begins his two-part study on Resurrection and Social Action by analyzing how the Roman Catholic Church links resurrection hope to confronting structural sin. Gorospe also analyzes the Doctrine of Resurrection in the writings of Clement of Alexandria, detailing his views on bodily resurrection and regeneration. Mendoza uses Paul’s “Point of View of the Cross” (1 Cor 1-2) as an epistemological paradigm to critique worldly wisdom and promote transformation in community formation.
