YES to women's ordination and NO to violence against women
Gender justice has been a priority of the Lutheran Word Federation (LWF) for decades, much longer than the existence of its Gender Justice Policy (2013) where it is affirmed that gender justice is “a matter of faith.” The LWF has always put great emphasis on the theological problems gender justice issues present, as opposed to an assessment that women's experiences of exclusion and abuses of power are strictly acknowledged and treated as human ri…
Too little, too late? On religion and climate change response
Why talk about sin? Luther's understanding of sin and hopeful sin‐talk in the 21st century
For Luther talking about sin and the sinful nature of human beings has a strong pastoral significance. His emphasis on the “bondage” of the human will is tightly connected to his insistence on the human sinful condition, and our inability to choose to be or not to be held captive by sin. My conclusion is that it is indeed important to continue to talk about sin if the Christian discourse about God's forgiveness and grace is to make sense. Further…
Reading with Earth
Applying a re-envisioned, ecological, feminist hermeneutics, this book builds on two important responses to twentieth- and twenty-first-century situations of ecological trauma, especially the complex contexts of climate change and cross-species relations: first, ecological feminism; second, ecological hermeneutics in the Earth Bible tradition
Lutheran Theology.A Grammar of Faith . KirsiStjerna. London
When Martin Luther decided to write his catechisms, his intention was to provide people, parishioners as well as pastors, with treatises that would help them become conversant in the basics of their Christian faith. The Small Catechism and the Large Catechism are organized around six topics: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord's Prayer, Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. The two catechisms, first published i…
We need to be able to talk about the climate crisis
Of Modern Extraction
This book critically analyzes the ways that energy, extraction, and oil—in ancient to modern thought—have been entwined with Western gender ideals and Christian narratives of divinity, grace, and redemption. Given the urgency around energy shifts, the book also explores “alternative energies”—not of a technosavior incarnation, but in relics and queer margins of the Christian tradition that might inspire alternative desires, rhythms of life, and s…
“The voice of one crying out in the wilderness” 1
Aiming for a Just Society
I think it is time that theologians, as well as the Church at large, speak up and speak to the social injustice we are faced with because of the economical collapse in Iceland in autumn 2008. If we think theology (i.e. the discourse about God) does not happen in a vacuum, if we think it is affected by, and is also affecting its context, then theology must have a part to play in the political discourse. If we think everything related to our human …
Meeting God on the Cross
The cross of Christ has proven to be no less of a “stumbling block” for Christians living in the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, than it was in the 1st century, when the newly established community of friends and followers of Jesus Christ sought to define the foundation of their faith over against the critiques of their Jewish and Greek contemporaries. This book presents a theological reception of the contemporary feminist …
