Abstract
Abstract The objective of this study is to describe resonance as concept in a theopoetics of practice in practical theology. Resonance is the vibration that takes place when practitioners (1) sense a deep relation with practice, frequently at a pre-verbal level, (2) recognize the alterity of the other and are willing to be transformed by it, and (3) use poetics to redescribe a practice in which reality itself may appear as resonance. Resonance is exemplified in chaplaincy and lived religion. I conclude that resonance should be part of a theopoetics of practice in practical theology because it helps to sense the sacred and make sense of the sacred.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Practical Theology is an academic journal. It is intended for practical theologians and teachers of religious education, scientists specializing in religion, and representatives of other cultural-scientific disciplines. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue. The journal contains contributions on an empirically descriptive and critically constructive theory of ecclesiastical and religious practice in society. Primarily, it deals with descriptions of religion as it is practised. Religion in this context can be understood in the broad sense of the word according to which all appreciative tendencies towards an ultimate view of oneself and of the world can be described as being religious.
