Description: This issue focuses on dialogue between faith, culture, and theological traditions. Gorospe concludes his study on Resurrection and Social Action (Part 2) from the Evangelical perspective, arguing that resurrection hope mandates resistance to structural social evil. Gener uses Pauline insights (Acts 26) to advocate for mission as cultural inheritance and embodiment, stressing the evangelization of local Filipino cultures in the vernacular. Gorospe also examines the development of an Evangelical Protestant Mariology in dialogue with Roman Catholic tradition, focusing on Mary’s role and the doctrines of virginal conception and perpetual virginity. Park analyzes the tension between Christian faith and modern psychology in Pastoral Care by comparing Browning’s correlational method with Oden’s classical approach.
