This study analyses the influence and infection of traditional Chinese culture, starting from the cultural influence of ancient Chinese poetry and literature, and explores the impact and healing effect of traditional Chinese poetry and literature on college students’ psychological anxiety. Combining with traditional Chinese culture, it proposes intervention and treatment strategies for college students’ psychological anxiety. Through volunteer recruitment, 100 college students were recruited for comparative experiments, and the subjects were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group participants regularly participate in Chinese ancient poetry and literature appreciation courses during the experimental period, and form an ancient poetry and literature learning group for discussion and learning. Research has found that psychological anxiety is a common psychological problem among contemporary college students, with most of them experiencing varying degrees of psychological anxiety. After the experiment, the number of patients with severe anxiety disorder decreased by 64.21%, while the number of patients with moderate anxiety disorder decreased by 57.36%. Under the artistic influence of traditional Chinese culture, the anxiety state of students with mental anxiety has been significantly improved, and the overall satisfaction score of students with treatment intervention plans is relatively high.Contribution: This study uses the profound historical heritage of Chinese ancient poetry and literature to help contemporary college students adjust their psychological state and reach the psychological adjustment under the infection of Chinese tradition culture. During the learning and appreciation of Chinese ancient poetry, literature and culture, students can comprehend the literature advancement in Chinese society, also influenced by the excellent traditional Chinese culture, for enhancing the humanistic quality and mental health level. The results of this study can be utilised by scholars in the field of the psychology of religion and public theology.

Categorial differences between religious and scientific language: The agency of God 宗教语言和科学语言的范畴差异:上帝的代理

In the dialogue of scientists and theologians, participants experienced differences in linguistic usage of the various disciplines, for example different concepts, grammatical rules, characteristic terminology, specific phrases, and expressions. A fascinating subject of this dialogue concerned God’s agency in human history within space-time, where the concepts of ‘God’ and ‘divine agency’ were unusual. In the church tradition, believers learned to use these concepts using biblical training with narratives such as the Exodus or Babylon stories. But to handle these narratives in historical situations, we need to analyse the concepts of ‘history’ and its ambiguity, and the ‘historical method of explanation’ to answer the question: ‘How does God act in history?’ The central question of this article was: Is history a domain of Divine Agency? It is imperative to pay attention to the specific grammar of religious language and to distinguish it categorically from the computational language of the natural sciences. History as such should be deconstructed into history1 and history2. However, religious and technical activities are of different logical types, so we cannot combine them in one conceptual scheme on the same level. Nevertheless, it is conceivable that coherence might be possible at a higher conceptual level. A qualitative method of a critical literature review across disciplines was used and a subsequent contemplative conceptualisation was proposed.Contribution: This article illustrated the difference between religious and scientific concepts to address Divine Agency in history. If reality or the universe can be described as an information-bearing entity in process, and if this is hierarchically structured, then we can imagine God interacting with this hierarchy.
在科学家和神学家的对话中,参与者体验到不同学科的语言使用差异,例如不同的概念、语法规则、特征术语、特定短语和表达。这个对话的一个引人入胜的主题是上帝在人类历史中的时空代理,在那里“上帝”和“神圣代理”的概念是不寻常的。在教会的传统中,信徒们通过圣经训练来学习使用这些概念,比如出埃及记或巴比伦故事。但是,为了在历史情境中处理这些叙述,我们需要分析“历史”的概念及其模糊性,以及“历史解释方法”来回答这个问题:“上帝在历史中是如何行动的?”这篇文章的中心问题是:历史是神的代理的领域吗?必须注意宗教语言的特定语法,并将其与自然科学的计算语言区分开来。历史本身应该被解构成历史1和历史2。然而,宗教活动和技术活动是不同的逻辑类型,因此我们不能在同一层面上将它们结合在一个概念方案中。然而,可以想象,在更高的概念层面上,连贯性是可能的。使用了跨学科的批判性文献综述的定性方法,并提出了随后的沉思概念化。贡献:这篇文章说明了宗教和科学概念之间的差异,以解决历史上的神圣代理。如果现实或宇宙可以被描述为一个过程中承载信息的实体,如果这是有层次结构的,那么我们可以想象上帝与这个层次互动。

Power and accountability – Using Biblical lenses to explore contemporary challenges in Africa 权力与责任-用圣经的视角探讨非洲当代的挑战

The Bible is one of the most influential documents in human history that has not only changed believers’ lives but has also greatly influenced our society whether one is a Christian or not. While the Western world has somehow managed to remove the Bible from the public sphere and religion relegated as the opium of the oppressed masses in the Communist bloc, to Africans, the Bible has remained a moral compass without which human life becomes ungovernable. As the Bible has come to occupy such a high place of authority in African life, the aim of this article is to examine the contemporary challenges that Africa is facing concerning issues of power and accountability in light of selected biblical texts. Using largely the canonical approach and socio-cultural anthropology, this article takes the Bible as a mirror that leaders should use to self-introspect in regard to their exercise of power and accountability to their subjects. It is our observation that there is now a tendency among African leadership especially during elections to rush to claim vox populi, vox Dei meaning ‘the voice of people is the voice of God’, yet rigging and failure to live up to God’s dictates may be manifestly characterising one’s leadership. A fish begins rotting in its head hence it is our conclusion that it is only by having a leadership that cultivates a fear of God at its heart that Africa can be healed of its problems.Contribution: In Africa, it is a paradox that while some political leaders purport to have been schooled in the Bible in mission schools, they lead a life divorced from it. This article adds a voice to the on-going religion and politics dialogue in Zimbabwe by soliciting an honest adherence to its principles.
圣经是人类历史上最有影响力的文献之一,它不仅改变了信徒的生活,而且对我们的社会产生了极大的影响,无论一个人是否是基督徒。虽然西方世界设法将《圣经》从公共领域中移除,宗教被视为共产主义集团中受压迫群众的鸦片,对非洲人来说,《圣经》仍然是一个道德指南针,没有它,人类的生活将变得无法治理。由于《圣经》在非洲人的生活中占据了如此高的权威地位,本文的目的是根据所选的《圣经》文本,研究非洲在权力和责任问题上面临的当代挑战。本文主要运用经典方法和社会文化人类学,将《圣经》作为一面镜子,让领导者在行使权力和对臣民负责时进行自我反省。根据我们的观察,现在在非洲领导人中有一种趋势,特别是在选举期间,急于宣称vox populi, vox Dei意思是“人民的声音就是上帝的声音”,然而操纵和未能遵守上帝的命令可能是一个人的领导的明显特征。一条鱼开始在脑袋里腐烂,因此我们的结论是,只有拥有一个在内心培养对上帝的敬畏的领导,非洲才能治愈其问题。贡献:在非洲,虽然一些政治领袖声称在教会学校接受过圣经教育,但他们的生活却与圣经脱节,这是一个悖论。这篇文章为津巴布韦正在进行的宗教和政治对话增加了一个声音,呼吁人们诚实地遵守其原则。

Memorialisation of COVID-19 stories 纪念COVID-19故事

Oral history is more than an epistemology of the subaltern who do not have any other avenues of narrating and preserving their ontologies. It transcends the academic domain and ventures into the field of therapy as it heals the broken hearted, the subjugated, the bereaved and in the process oscillating to an archive of memory and feelings. It is an epistemology that offers therapeutic healing not only to the downtrodden of the earth but also to the affluent members of the community. In this era of COVID-19 where people have suffered untold and unbearable pain, oral history comes handy as an epistemic memorialisation tool that can be used to offer therapeutic healing to the survivors, the affected, the infected and the nations. The article is based on the author’s views on how South Africa may memorialise COVID-19 through oral history and memorials among others. The article reviews literature on the world’s intentions in memorialising the pandemic and how South Africa can learn or unlearn from the proffered examples. The article also interrogates how oral history approaches, such as crowdsourcing of COVID-19 stories, can be manipulated so that it accommodates the pandemic’s narratives of the commoners found in the locations of South Africa. Research findings reveal that South Africa can learn a lot from the countries that have started to memorialise the pandemic in the sense that it has the experience, skills and infrastructure to do so.Contribution: The study contributes to the ongoing debate about how to memorialise the COVID-19 pandemic taking into consideration the memory politics of inclusion and exclusion. The study is linked to the scope of the journal in the sense that it touches on the national memorialisation of the COVID-19 pandemic through oral history and memorials among others.
口述历史不仅仅是底层民众的认识论,他们没有任何其他途径来叙述和保存他们的本体论。它超越了学术领域,冒险进入治疗领域,因为它治愈了心碎的人,被征服的人,失去亲人的人,并在这个过程中振荡到记忆和情感的档案。它是一种认识论,不仅为地球上受压迫的人提供治疗性治疗,也为社会上富裕的成员提供治疗性治疗。在2019冠状病毒病的这个时代,人们遭受了难以言喻的难以忍受的痛苦,口述历史作为一种认知纪念工具,可以派上用场,用于为幸存者、受影响者、感染者和国家提供治疗性治疗。这篇文章基于作者对南非如何通过口述历史和纪念馆等方式纪念COVID-19的看法。这篇文章回顾了有关世界纪念这一流行病的意图的文献,以及南非如何从所提供的例子中学习或忘记。本文还探讨了如何操纵口述历史方法,如COVID-19故事的众包,以适应南非各地平民对大流行的叙述。研究结果表明,南非可以从已经开始纪念这一流行病的国家那里学到很多东西,因为南非拥有这样做的经验、技能和基础设施。贡献:该研究为正在进行的关于如何在考虑包容和排斥的记忆政治的情况下纪念COVID-19大流行的辩论做出了贡献。这项研究与该期刊的范围有关,因为它涉及通过口述历史和纪念馆等方式纪念COVID-19大流行的国家活动。

Access to students’ perspectives on substance abuse is essential for effective youth intervention projects development. This study aimed to explore students’ perspectives on abuse of drugs and alcohol with probable development of student-led intervention strategies. The study was conducted at public universities in Zambia. Student’s perspectives on drugs and alcohol abuse were documented using a mixed method design that employed purposive and snowball sampling to select 200 respondents to questionnaires and 10 to in-depth interviews. A humanistic theory approach was applied in the interpretation and analysis of the data collected. The findings showed that cannabis (30%) and codeine contained in Benylin (17%) were commonly abused. Further findings showed that students’ academic pressure was the leading cause of substance abuse (27%), followed by peer pressure (20%). Students knew that abuse of drugs and alcohol led to low academic performance, violence and theft, risks of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other social maladjustments. The study recommends that institutions of learning increase student-led awareness campaigns, security surveillance on campus, and collaboration with government drug enforcement agencies. Institutions of learning should involve students in the planning of programmes to deal with drug and alcohol abuse.Contribution: The study will inform amendment of drug and alcohol abuse policies in institutions of learning. The study will contribute towards the UNESCO O3 PLUS project goal of making campuses safe and inclusive, and overall, the Sustainable Development Goal 3 and 4. The study serves as basis for scholars in the field of biblical theology engaged with justice, health and human development. The article is a contribution to the research project Biblical Theology and Hermeneutics. The results of this research can especially be utilised by scholars in the field of psychology of religion, the sociology of religion and practical theologians focusing on youth ministry.
了解学生对药物滥用的看法是有效发展青年干预项目的关键。本研究旨在探讨学生对药物和酒精滥用的看法,并可能发展以学生为主导的干预策略。这项研究是在赞比亚的公立大学进行的。学生对药物和酒精滥用的看法采用混合方法设计,采用有目的和滚雪球抽样,选择200名受访者进行问卷调查,10人进行深度访谈。运用人本主义理论方法对所收集的数据进行解释和分析。调查结果显示,大麻(30%)和Benylin中含有的可待因(17%)被普遍滥用。进一步调查发现,学生的学业压力是导致药物滥用的主要原因(27%),其次是同辈压力(20%)。学生们知道,滥用药物和酒精会导致学习成绩下降、暴力和盗窃、感染性传播感染的风险以及其他社会失调。该研究建议,教育机构应加强以学生为主导的宣传活动,加强校园安全监控,并与政府禁毒执法机构合作。学习机构应让学生参与规划处理吸毒和酗酒问题的方案。贡献:该研究将为修订学习机构的药物和酒精滥用政策提供信息。这项研究将有助于实现教科文组织O3 PLUS项目的目标,即使校园安全和包容,以及总体上可持续发展目标3和4。这项研究为圣经神学领域从事正义、健康和人类发展的学者提供了基础。这篇文章是对《圣经神学与解释学》研究项目的贡献。这项研究的结果尤其可以被宗教心理学、宗教社会学和关注青年事工的实践神学家所利用。

Assemblies of God church in Nigeria, which has for over 40 years now, experienced various crises that have led to sucession and factionalism in that church. The once giant of spirituality and the mother of Pentecostalism has grappled with the problem of administration, leadership tussle and bigotry. This study is a review of previous and current crises that AG Nigeria has gone through at the General Council level in a bid to mend what seems to have torn asunder the seamless coat of Christ in line with the prayer of Jesus, ‘that they may be one’. The study uses historical-critical method and phenomenological design to analyse the depth of the crack in the church in order to predict the future of Pentecostalism in Nigeria.Contribution: To chronicle the crises in Assemblies of God Nigeria through a study of current and past patterns of events with a view to recommending possible solutions.

literature, the article seeks to explore the role of African women [ Nyawiras ] in societal sustenance. With postcolonial Africa encountering a hotchpotch of challenges, are Nyawiras the best suited persons to deconstruct the status quo and eventually reconstruct the ‘sick’ society under greedy-grabbing male-leaders of nation-states (Aburirias) that have lost their moral compasses? Are women best suited to bring back sanity; and have they crossed the Rubicon in the 21st century? In drawing from diverse examples from Africa and beyond, the research article will be significant in helping the modern African society understand the myriad of problems they are facing in the local and global scene, and eventually appraise women’s heroine roles. Contribution: This research uses a multi-disciplinary approach and engages a dialogue between African literature and Africa’s religio-cultural discourses in order to better understand the complex situation facing Africa.
这篇文章试图探讨非洲妇女[Nyawiras]在社会维持中的作用。随着后殖民时代的非洲面临着各种各样的挑战,Nyawiras是解构现状并最终重建在失去道德指南针的民族国家(aburiria)中贪婪的男性领导人统治下的“病态”社会的最佳人选吗?女人最适合恢复理智吗?他们在21世纪渡过了卢比孔河吗?从非洲和其他地区的不同例子中汲取,这篇研究文章将有助于现代非洲社会理解他们在当地和全球舞台上面临的无数问题,并最终评价女性的女主角角色。贡献:本研究采用多学科方法,在非洲文学和非洲宗教文化话语之间进行对话,以便更好地理解非洲面临的复杂形势。
