This volume could be written differently. It could present the Protestant theological view on the economy from Luther, Zwingli and Calvin until contemporary prominent theologians. Or it could be a description of the teaching of one of the Protestant Churches or denomination. Or it could be an investigation of the traces of Protestant theology in the contemporary prevailing economic order. All such presentations could be hugely interesting and accurate and they would be reasonable in light of the most critical questions of todays world. However, the authors would propose a different approach that is not disjunctive, contrasting or opposing to the above-mentioned and that instead wants to reveal new trends and processes occurring in the Protestant world and bringing a new, more critical view on capitalism and its offspring, such as consumptionism.

Many societies are strongly divided, especially in ethnic, religious, racial, and ideological terms. Such divisions are usually related to the existence of divergent interests that may lead to serious conflicts between groups and/or between them and state authorities. In order to limit them, participation in decision-making processes by members of different groups is needed. However, it is extremely difficult to establish and maintain effective power-sharing arrangements. This book examines the cases of Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya, and Burundi, where hybrid models of power-sharing have emerged, combining specific elements of consociational and centripetal types. It also explains the specificity, life cycle, and performance of different hybrid systems.

In a first-of-its-kind volume, The New Testament in Color offers biblical commentary that is:MultiethnicDiverseContextualInformativeReflectivePropheticInspiring"I wish someone had handed The New Testament in Color to me twenty-five years ago, and I hope many will read it now." Nijay Gupta, bestselling author of Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church.Historically, Bible commentaries have focused on the particular concerns of a limited segment of the church, all too often missing fresh questions and perspectives that are fruitful for biblical interpretation. Listening to scholars from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities offers us an opportunity to explore the Bible from a wider angle, a better vantage point.The New Testament in Color is a one-volume commentary on the New Testament written by a multiethnic team of scholars holding orthodox Christian beliefs. Each scholar brings exegetical expertise coupled with a unique interpretive lens to illuminate the ways social location and biblical interpretation work together. Theologically orthodox and multiethnically contextual, The New Testament in Color fills a gap in biblical understanding for both the academy and the church. Who we are and where God placed usits all useful for better understanding his Word.

Im Jahr 1952 bildeten Politiker aus Deutschland, Frankreich, Belgien, Italien, den Niederlanden und Luxemburg die erste Ad-hoc-Versammlung mit dem Ziel, eine Verfassung fur eine kunftige europaische politische Gemeinschaft zu entwerfen. In ihren Uberlegungen, wie eine parlamentarische Regierung in einer supranationalen Gemeinschaft realisiert werden konnte, formulierten die Teilnehmer zentrale Aspekte der europaischen Politisierung.Das Buch entdeckt diesen bisher vernachlassigten Ursprung des parlamentarischen Europas neu und untersucht die Bedeutung der Ad-hoc-Versammlung fur die Politisierung der europaischen Integration. Es geht der Frage nach, wie die Versammlung als Projekt der europaischen Integration nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg funktionierte, und erklart sie als einen Moment in der politischen Theorie- und Begriffsgeschichte des Parlamentarismus, der Perspektiven fur spatere Phasen der Parlamentarisierung der EU eroffnet.

50 Jahre nach der Abfassung der Leuenberger Konkordie zeigt sich, wie sich die aus ihr hervorgegangene Kirchengemeinschaft entwickelt hat. Doch der Ansatz der Konkordie birgt noch manche Potentiale, die es zu entdecken gilt. Dieser Band dokumentiert die Beitrage, die bei der Konferenz "Gemeinsam Kirche sein" zum 50-jahrigen Jubilaum der Leuenberger Konkordie 2023 an der Reformierten Theologischen Universitat von Debrecen, Ungarn, gehalten wurden. 50 years after the Leuenberg Agreement was formulated, we can see how the church communion that emerged from it has developed. However, the approach of the Agreement still harbours some potential that needs to be discovered. This volume documents the papers presented at the conference "Being Church Together" to mark the 50th anniversary of the Leuenberg Agreement in 2023 at the Reformed Theological University of Debrecen, Hungary.

El paisaje es una experiencia de contemplación, emoción y reflexión, al mismo tiempo es el resultado del trabajo de hombres y mujeres en el espacio geográfico. Es una consecuencia cultural y su naturaleza se constituye en una revelacion en el universo de las formas, al ser concebida, vivida y modelada por las sociedades dentro de un permanente proceso de transformacion. Se trata de un dispositivo de convergencia de la percepcion, los sentimientos y las representaciones, en el que se construye la historia desde sus origenes. Asimismo, el patrimonio contenido en los paisajes crea una memoria capaz de llevarnos por nuevas vias del conocimiento, solo se deben de interpretar el lenguaje que esta expresado en el territorio y en sus bienes materiales e inmateriales. Ahora bien, en la con figuracion estetica del paisaje es dilucidar sobre lo sublime de la vida, el pensamiento y la creacion artistica. En el marco de estos indicadores se encuentra la percepcion y la imaginacion como una amalgama del goce, pero tambien de la angustia o el miedo. Comprender lo estetico en el paisaje es desentrañar la funcion del gusto en la historia, que se organiza en el terreno de la sensibilidad y en la reflexion sobre las complejas manifestaciones de la naturaleza humana. Proceso que se convierte en un instrumento para captar y transmitir lo invisible en el espacio y crear, en el campo de estudio sobre el paisaje patrimonial, nuevas significaciones. En este sentido, el ejercicio de delimitar paisajes para despues aprehenderlos y estudiarlos es un ritual creativo, que a lo largo de la historia se ha desarrollado y ha formado parte de las tantas maneras de adaptarnos al medio, al tiempo que lo interpretamos; y es precisamente en este punto en el que se centra este libro, en las distintas posibilidades de imaginalo y representarlo. Por ello, en este volumen, se compendia una serie de trabajos donde se hace una reflexion profunda sobre el pensamiento y la creacion de los paisajes patrimoniales desde diversas miradas disciplinares y enfoques epistemologicos, que disciernen sobre la filosofia, la estetica y el arte en los paisajes y los paisajes en el arte.

Este volumen explora las diferentes opiniones expresadas en las cartas del Nuevo Testamento sobre la posición de la mujer en las comunidades cristianas de primera y segunda generación. Los autores situan las cartas en sus contextos culturales, religiosos y sociales mas amplios, judios y grecorromanos, para comprender mejor como cambiaron con el tiempo los roles de genero, la vida familiar y las responsabilidades de las mujeres en la difusion del Evangelio. Mientras que algunos ensayos examinan las realidades vividas por las mujeres como esposas, madres y viudas -tanto las libres como las esclavizadas-, otros examinan la funcion retorica y teologica de las metaforas femeninas.

Está creciendo el interés, la conciencia y la demanda por el conocimiento de que la justicia social es algo que sale de la fe cristiana. Pero esto no es algo nuevo.Por quinientos años la cultura e identidad latina han sido moldeadas por sus desafios al statu quo religioso, socioeconomico y politico, ya sea en oposicion al colonialismo español, las dictaduras latinoamericanas, el imperialismo estadounidense en Centro America, la opresion de los trabajadores de campo o la explotacion actual de inmigrantes indocumentados. El cristianismo ha jugado un papel significativo en ese movimiento en cada etapa.Robert Chao Romero, hijo de padre mexicano y madre inmigrante china, explora la historia y la teologia de lo que el llama la iglesia mestiza. Romero considera como este movimiento ha respondido a estas y otras injusticias a lo largo de su historia al apelar a la creencia que la vision de Dios por la redencion incluye no solo promesas celestiales sino tambien la transformacion de cada aspecto de nuestras vidas y el mundo. Al recorrer esta historia de activismo y fe, lectores descubriran que los cristianos latinos tienen un corazon conforme al de Dios.

Today, the doctrine of the beatific vision has been woefully forgotten within the church and its theology.Yet, throughout history Christians have always held that the blessed hope of heaven lies in seeing and being in the presence of God, of beholding the beatific vision. With lucidity and breadth, Parkison reintroduces the beatific vision and affirms its centrality for the life of the church today. Parkison argues for the beatific visions biblical foundations and reminds usthrough close readings of theologians such as Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, Gregory Palamas, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwardsof the doctrines historical and contemporary significance. The beatific vision is about seeing God, and as Christians have acknowledged across the tradition, seeing God is our ultimate end.

Foreign Policy, Most Anticipated Books of 2024 A stunning investigation and indictment of the elements in United States foreign lobbying industry and the threat they pose to democracy. For years, one group of Americans has worked as foot-soldiers for the most authoritarian regimes around the planet. In the process, theyve not only entrenched dictatorships and spread kleptocratic networks, but theyve secretly guided U.S. policy without the rest of America even being aware. And now, journalist Casey Michel contends some of them have begun turning their sights on American democracy itself. These Americans are known as foreign lobbyists, and many of them spent years ushering dictatorships directly into the halls of Washington, all while laundering the reputations of the most heinous, repressive regimes in the process. These lobbyists include figures like Ivy Lee, the inventor of the public relations industry - a man who whitewashed Mussolini, opened doors to the Soviets, and advised the Nazis on how to sway American audiences. They include people like Paul Manafort, who invented lobbying as we know it - and who then took his talents to autocrats from Ukraine to the Philippines, and then back to the White House. And they now include an increasing number of Americans elsewhere: in law firms and consultancies, among PR specialists and former lawmakers, and even within think tanks and universities. Many of these lobbyists have transformed into proxies for dictators and strongmen wherever they can be found. And for years, theyve escaped scrutiny. In Foreign Agents, Casey Michel shines a light on these foreign lobbyists, and all the damage and devastation they have caused in Washington and elsewhere. From Moscow to Beijing, from far-right nationalists to far-left communists, from anti-American autocrats to pro-Western authoritarians, these foreign lobbyists have helped any illiberal, anti-democratic government they can find. And after decades of success in installing dictator after dictator, and in tilting American policy in the process, some of these lobbyists have now begun trying to end Americas democratic experiment, once and for all.

The Spycatcher affair remains one of the most intriguing moments in the history of British intelligence and a pivotal point in the publics relationship with the murky world of espionage and security. It lifted the lid on alleged Soviet infiltration of British services and revealed a culture of law-breaking, bugging and burgling. But how much do we know about the story behind the scandal? In To Catch a Spy, Tim Tate reveals the astonishing true story of the British governments attempts to silence whistleblower Peter Wright and hide the truth about Britains intelligence services and political elites. Its a story of state-sanctioned cover-up plots; of the government lying to Parliament and courts around the world; and of stories leaked with the intention to mislead and deceive. This is a tale of high treason and low farce. Drawing on thousands of pages of previously unpublished court transcripts, the contents of secret British government files, and original interviews with many of the key players in the Spycatcher trials, it draws back the curtain on a hidden world. A world where spies, politicians and Britains most senior civil servants conspired to ride roughshod over the law, prevented the public from hearing about their actions and mounted a cynical conspiracy to deceive the world. It is the story of Peter Wrights ruthless and often lawless obsession to uncover Russian spies, both real and imagined, his belated determination to reveal the truth and the lengths to which the British government would go to silence him.

When Anna Wickins began counselling with her therapist, Paddy Magrane, she could barely speak in their sessions, silenced by traumatic memories from two decades before. But as trust built, Anna felt able to open up and she started to talk about the terrifying ordeal she experienced at university. As Anna examined her past, a transformation was occurring across the room. Listening to her tale awakened painful memories in Paddy about the horrors that occurred at his boarding school.After two years of healing work, Anna and Paddy embarked on an unusual therapeutic exercise: a visit to the site of her trauma, where Anna physically confronted the scenes of her nightmares. With Paddys reassurance and support, she was finally able to leave her demons behind. Once robbed of a voice, Anna now helps others to find theirs, in the same way that Paddy helped her.Told in alternating perspectives, Both Sides of the Couch is a searingly honest account of how counselling shapes both client and therapist. A unique window into therapy, it shows, for the first time, the journey through the eyes of both participants. Both Sides of the Couch is a moving and inspirational story of finding light in the darkest of times.

Christians who seek to relate their faith to politics have always encountered tensions. Instead of easy answers and simple checklists, we need tools to help us thoughtfully navigate the complexities of Christian faithfulness in an increasingly diverse and polarized society.In this book, Miranda Zapor Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.In the United States, Cruz argues, Christians who share very similar faith convictions can arrive at different political conclusions. There are, however, principles from Scripture and theology that should inform our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics helps us learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.
