Elements of Filipino Theology

Leonardo N. Mercado

4.9/5 (14009 ratings)

Description:This work is intended as a college manual in Filipino theology. Although it is aimed for the college student, the teacher may adapt it for high school or for the more advanced students. The author believes that the material of this textbook is suited for Filipino students in general since it is this common cultural experience that is used to explain the biblical experience. However, the teacher has to explicitate what the Filipino students implicitly know of their own culture.This textbook is intended as well for westernized Filipinos who (unlike their rural brothers) have so imbibed Western culture and theology that they are confused about their identity. Hence, the differences between Western and Filipino thinking are described in certain sections.The present work does not pretend to be exhaustive. Hence, the word "elements" in the title. The material is presented mostly in outline form. Since this work is a pioneering attempt, it is imperfect, incomplete, tentative and thus subject to future modifications.The book is divided into three parts. Part I concerns itself with the basic Filipino ideas on religion. It is the framework for reference for the rest of the chapters. Part II is about the Filipino's reaction to Part I, and therefore is mostly concerned with virtues. Part III (on worship) tries to carry out Part II into cultural symbolism in the Filipino's life cycle.(Snippets from its Preface)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
