This chapter reviews the book Religious Education in Thirteenth-Century England: The Creed and Articles of Faith (2015), by Andrew Reeves. The book explores how the church ensured that laymen and women in the thirteenth century acquired at least a basic understanding of the doctrines of the Christian religion as exemplified in the Apostles Creed and Articles of Faith. In particular, Reeves examines the nature and extent of the transmission of the theological education developed in the Schools, particularly of Paris, to local parish priests and to their parishioners in the thirteenth century. The focus is on the period between the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 and 1281. The author also highlights the emphasis placed by thirteenth-century pastoral care on sin and its remedies.

Nothing put the clergy and laity at odds so much as money. Quarrels over tithe provide the background against which all the hostility between Londoners and their parish priests must be seen. Since the thirteenth century the citizenry had engaged in periodic disputes with the city clergy over the assessment of tithe, but at the Reformation fervent new issues exacerbated the acrimony and the quarrel seemed to have become intractable. In the city, where individual disputes soon became common knowledge and might stir formidable partisanship, the citizens were often convinced that they were being robbed by their priests. Once the reforming ideas of Protestantism began to spread the London clergy were forced to defend themselves not only against criticism of clerical wealth and privilege but also against far profounder attacks upon their authority and faith. The London tithe controversy in many ways reflects the struggle between the lay and ecclesiastical orders at a national level. The conciliation which had marked the negotiations between the Church and city government in the later Middle Ages gave way to open conflict in the reign of Henry vm until, finally, the tithe issue could be settled only by Parliament, and the Church lost its traditional powers of judgement in tithe causes to the city.

There are things that are relevant but neglected, and there are also things that are closely related but are forgotten in family life and church service. That is the importance of Christian Religious Education in the context of family and church services today. But the correlation between Christian Religious Education and family would not be realized if there were no educators who understood the nature of Christian Religious education. Therefore through this paper, the author reviews theologically the pedagogical education of the Christian Religion (PAK) of the Church and family and their relevance to the service of the church today.

The Middle Ages

The medieval Catholic Church evolved. That is, over the course of the Middle Ages everything about the religion changed, yet the changes occurred within well-established patterns and principles that remained constant. Among those patterns were: oscillations between episcopal and papal ideologies of ecclesiastical unity; a papacy whose theoretical claims to authority never matched its actual power; and a commitment to pastoral care. The Church also insisted on doctrinal and institutional conformity, manifested especially in its reliance on creeds that presented non-logical propositions as articles of faith. The result was to generate heresies, but in responding to heresies the Church also educated the laity in matters of faith, while allowing considerable latitude in matters of private and lay devotions. Among such devotions, the ‘bridal mysticism’ of devout women stands as an example of both the limitations and intellectual depth of the religion.

O artigo reflete sobre o tema “Teologia e pós-modernidade: apontamentos para o discurso teológico relevante”. Tendo como objetivo discutir se a teologia pode sobreviver como discurso, como logos e quais seriam as suas chances, bem como alguns dos caminhos que ela poderia trilhar, o artigo enfrenta questões fundamentais para o debate religioso, no sentido amplo, e teológico, no sentido específico. Trata-se da busca de respostas para indagações antigas, mas sempre relevantes: a religião cristã e a teologia são pertinentes na pós-modernidade? Quais seriam os novos desafios para a teologia nesse contexto? Quais seriam os rumos da teologia na época pós-moderna? Para responder tais questionamentos, os autores analisam a literatura mais relevante e atual sobre o tema, visando contribuir no âmbito acadêmico, eclesial e social. Ao final, os autores destacam que para sobreviver num tempo pós-moderno, é fundamental que a teologia se lance à tarefa de decifrar as implicações da pós-modernidade para ela e para a igreja. A teologia precisará ainda desconstruir os paradigmas modernos da interpretação do texto bíblico, a fim de responder com mais consistência os questionamentos teológicos da pós-modernidade. Assim, os autores concluem que a pós-modernidade não é um mal a ser combatido, mas um período a ser discernido e ao mesmo tempo, enriquecedor e propositivo para a experiência religiosa e para o discurso teológico relevante.Palavras-chave: Teologia; Pós-Modernidade; Religião; Experiência. THEOLOGY AND POSTMODERNITY: NOTES FOR A RELEVANT THEOLOGICAL DISCOURSEAbstractThe article adresses the topic “Theology and post-modernity: notes for a relevant theological discourse”.

Finally, so that it may survive in post-modernity, it is paramount for Theology to engage the task of deciphering the implications of postmodernity for Theology itself and for the Church.
