pope francis and the Theology of the people
Theological Studies, 2016Co-Authors: Juan Carlos ScannoneAbstract:The Argentine Theology of the people turns to the religion of the “faithful people of God” as a key source for theological reflection. The Theology of the people was developed in the church of Arge...

a ring shear device for the study of till deformation tests on tills with contrasting clay contents
Quaternary Science Reviews, 1997Co-Authors: Neal R Iverson, Robert W Baker, Thomas S HooyerAbstract:Abstract Deformation of subglacial sediment may have had a profound influence on the geomorphic effects and dynamics of Pleistocene ice sheets, but data that bear on the rheology of such sediment are few and contradictory. A means of studying systematically the mechanical properties of glacial tills is provided by a ring-shear device that shears a large annular specimen to high strains at variable rates. Special features of the device allow continuous observation of the distribution of shear strain, measurement of local stresses normal to the direction of shear, and isolation of wall effects. Thus far, a linear-viscous putty and two tills with different clay contents (4 and 32% by weight) have been tested. The experiments with till indicate, as expected, that the presence of dispersed clay minerals reduces markedly both the residual strength and hydraulic diffusivity of till. Clay also reduces spatial variations in normal stress associated with grain bridges. The walls bounding the specimen support only 9–17% of the total resistance to shearing. Strain was localized in both tills, but not in the linear-viscous putty. Strain localization in the tills indicates that their Theology departs significantly from linear- and Bingham-viscous models.

the wiley blackwell companion to practical Theology
2014Co-Authors: Bonnie J MillermclemoreAbstract:In 1950 practical Theology, as an academic discipline encompassing the disciplines of pastoral care, Christian education, homiletics, liturgics, and congregational studies, began to be retrieved from its 19th century roots with Schleiermacher and others. “Professors [Ross] Snyder and [Seward] Hiltner organized the Association of Professors in the Practical Fields in 1950. Snyder was elected the first President, and the Association had a very productive life for more than 20 years. The [U.S.] Association of Practical Theology and the International Academy of Practical Theology have now succeeded it” (Moore, 2012). I attended my first meeting with this group in Denver in 1980 and my first international meeting in The Netherlands in 1982. A significant omission in this volume is that I did not find the names of Ross Snyder and Allen Moore, my mentor in practical Theology. As pioneers in practical Theology, they deserve our gratitude.

christian Theology in practice discovering a discipline
2012Co-Authors: Bonnie J MillermclemoreAbstract:For the past fifty years, scholars in both pastoral and practical Theology have attempted to recapture human religious experience and practice as essential sites for theological engagement -- redefining in the process what Theology is, how it is done, and who does it. In this book Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore shows how this trend in scholarship has led to an expanded subject matter, alternative ways of knowing, and richer terms for analysis in doing Christian Theology. Tracing more than two decades of her own search for a more inclusive discipline -- one that truly grapples with Theology in the midst of life -- "Christian Theology in Practice" shows not only where Miller-McLemore herself has traveled in the field but also how pastoral and practical Theology has developed during this time. Looking forward, Miller-McLemore calls on the academy and Christian congregations to disrupt conventional theological boundaries and to acknowledge the multiplicity of shapes and places in which the "wisdom of God" appears..

also a pastoral theologian in pursuit of dynamic Theology or meditations from a recalcitrant heart
Pastoral Psychology, 2010Co-Authors: Bonnie J MillermclemoreAbstract:This essay evolved out of my effort to situate my work from the last quarter-century for an introduction to a collection of previously published essays. After tracing divergent uses of the terms pastoral and practical Theology in figures such as Seward Hiltner, Friedrich Schleiermacher, and Don Browning, I turn to the task of differentiating the two disciplines. Although pursuit of dynamic Theology lies at the heart of both, I argue that their sloppy conflation is problematic. Whereas practical Theology is integrative, pastoral Theology is person-and pathos-centered. I situate my work in pastoral Theology within practical Theology because of the latter’s commitment to wider curricular and ministerial concerns. But I remain a pastoral theologian at heart, appreciative of its appropriation of psychology as a key means to comprehend what matters most to persons. Commitment to a Theology of experience has led the discipline to the inadvertent creation of alternative theological loci of angst and flourishing.
