Martin Kallungal presents a paper at LIFT-IILIFT – II: Monday, 01 June 2009
The second session of LIFT was held on Monday, 01 June 2009, between 19 and 21 hrs in Louis Jaansen’s Hall, Holy Spirit College. Eleven doctoral scholars were present for the discussion on George Soares- Prabhu led by Martin Sebastian Kallungal. Martin’s enlightening presentation summarised his theological reflection and evaluation of Soares-Prabhu’s hermeneutical method in the context of India. His paper could be accessed on this blog.
Helen Dantis moderated effectively the theologically productive discussion that followed. Participants focussed on the larger social thrust in Soares-Prabhu’s literature and his approach to interpreting Bible in India, identity-politics, inculturation, the indispensable ecclesiological setting for biblical hermeneutics, the reality of poverty and plurality (in every aspect) in the supposedly one-indian reality etc. Cofee/chai that were made available energised and also tempered the heated but healthy exchanges.
It was agreed to draft a common letter requesting the concerned publishers for information to build up the proposed Indian journals’ theological database. The letter to each journal would be sent by the concerned person/s dealing with particular journal/s. The deadline for submissions to ITJD database remains as fixed earlier – 15th July 2009. The next session, LIFT – III is tentatively fixed for Thursday, 22 October 2009.
