Beschreibung
Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, language: English, abstract: This essay explores the intricate interplay between theology and the pervasive social issue of poverty, drawing insights from biblical foundations, historical perspectives, and contemporary theological discourses. Beginning with an examination of Old and New Testament teachings, we navigate through the early Christian, medieval, and Reformation-era theological views on poverty. Contemporary perspectives, including liberation theology, Catholic social teaching, and diverse Protestant outlooks, provide a comprehensive understanding of the theological landscape. The essay delves into the challenges and critiques inherent in theological discussions on poverty, addressing tensions arising from differing interpretations and criticisms of certain theological perspectives. Despite these challenges, the theological reflections underscore the ongoing relevance of addressing poverty, motivating practical implications. Faith communities actively engage in poverty alleviation, theological principles influence social policies, and interfaith collaborations emerge as dynamic forces for positive change. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the enduring significance of theological insights in inspiring compassionate responses to poverty. It provides a roadmap for faith communities, policymakers, and individuals to integrate theological perspectives into tangible actions, fostering a more just and compassionate world.
