Andrew R. Johnson asks why it is the case that "believing" is centrally significant in and for Christianity. He argues that if we attend to the various implicit dimensions of explicit faith and to the holistic character of Christian believing then this central significance becomes more intelligible. The study aims to be a work of Protestant systematic theology, first and foremost, but one that is of ecumenical value. Johnson engages continental, analytic, and American pragmatic philosophers as they reflect on the human phenomenon of believing, intentional action, embodied cognition, and the relation between theory and practice. Theologically the study engages with Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican and Roman Catholic theologians as they reflect on the nature of faith in Christ amidst the concrete realities of life and the encounter with God through those concrete realities. Key interlocutors of the study include Rudolf Bultmann, Karl Barth, Cornelius Ernst, Fergus Kerr, Ludwig Wittgenstein, H.H. Price, Robert Brandom, and Andrew Inkpin, in addition to others.

While many studies have labeled Cornelius Burgess either an Episcopalian or a Presbyterian depending on the period of his life, Hakryang Seo challenges that binary. By using his early sermon note manuscripts never before analyzed by scholars, the author reveals a more consistent and principled view of church government. Burgess believed that no single form whether Episcopacy or Presbyterianism was divinely required. Instead, he held that bishops and presbyters shared the same ministerial order, especially in preaching and spiritual authority. This view allowed him to move between systems without abandoning his core convictions. Drawing from archival sources, this work repositions Burgess as a key voice in seventeenth-century debates on how the church should be governed.

"Grand phenomena do not strike us the less when we have discovered something of their wonderful mechanism" is it a modern apology for the reunification of science and faith? Not really. The text written by St. Basil is 1,600 years old and is the golden line for the Catholic tradition from its beginnings to our days. The purpose of this book is to show the reader how to discover this in the history of Christian encounters with science. St. Paul began it, St. Augustine brought it to excellence, St. Thomas Aquinas made it visible to all. Yes, there was an outbreak of conflict in this area, culminating in the 19th century, but the future is not necessarily so dark. We have so many spiritual masters to learn from. We, the present dwarfs, can see further, sitting on the shoulders of giants... Yes, this brilliant saying also comes from the Catholic tradition.

This monograph places young people at its core, treating them as the focus of research conducted by scholars in sociology, theology, pedagogy and psychology. These inquiries address religious education conceived as the sum of interventions aimed at cultivating an individuals life skills within a religious framework. Religious education is orientated towards the development of personal awareness and competencies, as well as ones engagement with the wider world. Its aim is to enable young people to interpret human existence independently and rationally, and to support their understanding of themselves and the world in light of their professed faith. A thorough and rigorous study of the current state of youth religious education in Poland may facilitate questions for future discussion concerning the objectives, content and forms of religious instruction. The research findings elucidate the reasons underpinning both participation in and withdrawal from religious education classes, and they offer reflections and recommendations for work in the field of youth religious education and for enhancing the competencies of religious education teachers.

The church fathers displayed considerable interest in the early chapters of Genesis, and often wrote detailed commentaries or preached series of homilies on the Hexameron--the Six Days of Creation--among them Eustathius of Antioch, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Ambrose, John Chrysostom and Augustine.This volume of Ancient Christian Texts offers a first-time English translation of Severian of Gabalas In cosmogoniam and a fresh translation of a portion of Bede the Venerables Libri quatuor in principium Genesis. Severian, bishop of Gabala in Syria, who early on was a friend of John Chrysostom, later turned against him and opposed him at the Synod of Oak in 403. Though displaying his own strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies, Severian still represents the so-called Antiochene school with its preference for literal over allegorical interpretation of texts. The text derives from the six homilies found in Migne?s Patrologia graeca, volume 56, together with a seventh homily found only in the 1613 Eton edition of John Chrysostom?s works, edited by Henry Savile, and falsely attributed to Chrysostom. These homilies have been ably translated with explanatory notes by Robert C. Hill.The commentary from Bede the Venerable derives from Book I of his four-book commentary on Genesis from the account of creation to the casting out of Ishmael. Bede was a polymath--teacher, computist, exegete, historian--and one of the foremost scholars from Anglo-Saxon England. As a teacher, Bede strove to hand on the tradition of the church in a form easily understood by those who might not be well educated. These early chapters in Genesis provided teaching on creation, human origins, sin and redemption. The text deriving from Corpus Christianorum Latina is ably translated with explanatory notes by Carmen Hardin.Ancient Christian Texts are new English translations of full-length commentaries or sermon series from ancient Christian authors that allow you to study key writings of the early church fathers in a fresh way.

"We believe in one God, the Father." The opening clause of the Nicene Creed can be summed up in a single wordmonotheism. In the early centuries of the church, this striking doctrine stood starkly against a cultural background of multiple deities and spiritual powers. While it clearly builds on its Jewish heritage, calling God "Father" anticipates the Father-Son relationship in the Godhead that early Christians knew and robustly upheld.The first article of the Nicene Creed also presupposes that there is an objective body of teaching that Christians are expected to confess as their faith. This idea seems normal and natural to us, but it was a novelty in the ancient world. Neither Judaism nor any pagan religion or philosophy could claim to have a closely defined set of beliefs that everyone adhering to it was expected to profess publicly and defend against all comers.While this article on God the Father is the shortest and arguably oldest portion of the Creed, it fully sets forth the fundamental understanding of God as creator and originator of all that is. This commentary in its selection of texts from the early church highlights the common understanding of the One God in three Persons, elucidating the churchs understanding of divine attributes and trinitarian relations.The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

"Who do you say that I am?" This question that Jesus asked of his disciples, so central to his mission, became equally central to the fledgling church. How would it respond to the Gnostics who answered by saying Jesus was less than fully human? How would it respond to the Arians who contended he was less than fully God? It was these challenges that ultimately provoked the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325.In this Ancient Christian Doctrine volume covering the first half of the article in the Nicene Creed on God the Son, John Anthony McGuckin shows how it countered these two errant poles by equally stressing Jesus authentic humanity (that is, his fleshliness and real embodiment in space and time) and his spiritual glory or full divinity.One cottage industry among some historical theologians, he notes, has been to live in a fever of conspiracy theory where orthodox oppressors dealt heavy-handedly with poor heretics. Or the picture is painted of ancient grassroots inclusivists being suppressed by establishment elites. The reality was far from such romantic notions. It was in fact the reverse.The church who denounced these errors did so in the name of a greater inclusivity based on common sense and common education. The debate was conducted generations before Christian bishops could ever call on the assistance of secular power to enforce their views. Establishing the creeds was not a reactionary movement of censorship but rather one concerned with the deepest aspects of quality control.Ultimately, what was and is at stake is not fussy dogmatism but the central gospel message of Gods stooping "down in mercy to enter the life of his creatures and share their sorrows with them. He has lifted up the weak and the broken to himself, and he healed their pain by abolishing their alienation."The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

Leonore Mau traveled for almost two decades with the writer Hubert Fichte to research Afrodiasporic religions. Her photographs remained largely unpublished. They present us with challenges: What does it mean to look at them todayafter debates about representation and the treatment of artistic ethnographic photographs? As a case study, A Year and A Day focuses on Maus pictures taken in Haiti in the 1970s during the Duvalier dictatorship. The title refers to the cosmology of Vodou, according to which souls live under water for a year and a day before rebirth. Artists and scientists delve deeper into the historical background and shed light on Haiti in the 1970s, the relationship between Germany and Haiti, the photography of rituals, and the ethics of taking picture and looking.Leonore Mau (19162013) began taking photographs in Hamburg in the 1950s. From the 1960s she lived and traveled with the writer Hubert Fichte (19351986).

Marion sai e caminha num longo discurso do valor absoluto, entre individuos os numeros, entre sensibilidades o paradoxo, entre as especificidades o pacifico falseado. A hiper-superficialidade é tender ao equilibrio, para que a profundeza no exerça seu papel crucial a vista do gradualismo num dinamismo da razo universal. Os paralelos so grandezas heterogeneas to multivariadas que pontos de vistas so a vulnerabilidade do andar liberto de uma escravido historica.

Este libro propone un viaje colectivo que parte de las aproximaciones críticas del feminismo a las teorías del cine y de la comunicación para acercarnos a las prácticas, a aquellos proyectos y asociaciones que desde hace tiempo estan trabajando por una comunicacion explicitamente feminista e interseccional. El objetivo es ofrecer a las estudiantes de comunicacion una aproximacion a las teorias feministas situada en su contexto academico pero que les abra la posibilidad de reflexionar no solo sobre lo que ya se esta haciendo, sobre los discursos y representaciones existentes, sino sobre aquellas ventanas de posibilidad que se abren desde los feminismos, los movimientos LGTBIQ+, el antirracismo y las periferias.

This study is an analysis of the behavior of different individuals and groups at the Abbasid court-the center of the largest empire in the world in the eighth-ninth centuries CE-during a period of political turmoil and governmental collapse, between the years 892 and 932. The study explores how individuals viewed themselves relative to their peers and competitors both within and outside their social/professional groups and at the strategies different individuals employed to cope with the increasing social and political instability. The book, which proceeds both chronologically and thematically, beginning with a period of revival and superior leadership and concluding with one of incompetence and regicide, is also an attempt to uncover individual and group dynamics relevant to the study of other periods, contexts, and courts.
