The structural approach facilitates exposure of the elements of eschatological teaching characteristic of 2 Peters author with its correct or incorrect interpretation. Narratives drawn from Jewish tradition aim to show two attitudes towards the announcement of destruction: a positive attitude, signifying salvation, and a negative attitude, signifying annihilation. This pattern is transferred to the attitude towards prophetic and apostolic eschatological teaching. Part 1 of the commentary (2 Pet 12) focuses on the misinterpretation of this teaching by false teachers and their followers. Their eschatological scepticism is ridiculed and their grim fate described. As the starting point for this description and Peters whole line of argumentation 2 Pet 2:3b is taken the thesis is that Gods inaction is only apparent, while judgment and punishment are inevitable, although only God knows when they will be executed.Part 2 of the commentary (2 Pet 3) focuses on the proper interpretation of this teaching and on laying out the principles of the letter authors hermeneutics. This hermeneutic construes texts from Jewish tradition as foreshadowing and typologies of eschatological events. In explaining the principles of his hermeneutic, the letters author drew on the creation story, which Jewish apocalypticism read inversely, to mark that the eschatological hermeneutics is rooted in tradition. The starting point of Peters line of argumentation was taken to be 2 Pet 3:5.7 with its thesis of Gods creative and destructive word and Gods sovereign will regarding the preservation of creation and the appointment of the time of judgement. This thesis explains the apparent lack of divine action, which was also a major concern in Part 1 of the commentary (2 Pet 12).

Das Thema des in englischer Sprache verfassten The Myth of the State dem letzten Werk, das Cassirer vor seinem Tod im Manuskript zum Abschluss bringen konnte ist die Wiederkehr des politischen Totalitarismus, dem er selbst nur durch Emigration entkam. Der Text belegt, dass die in der Philosophie der symbolischen Formen entwickelte Kritik der Kultur auch den Rahmen fur eine Theorie des Politischen absteckt und dazu notigt, auf anthropologischer Ebene die Einheit von animal symbolicum und zoon politikon zu denken.Cassirer beginnt mit einer Analyse der destruktiven Macht des mythischen Denkens. Er untersucht seine Struktur, seine Beziehung zur Sprache, seinen affektiven Charakter und seine soziale Funktion. Im Anschluss beschreibt Cassirer in einem ideengeschichtlichen Aufri die Hauptlinien der politischen Theorien von Platon bis zum fruhen 19. Jahrhundert, um dann im letzten Teil die Wiedergeburt des Mythos im 20. Jahrhundert zu behandeln.Cassirer schliet, dass der politische Mythos nicht endgultig uberwunden, sondern nur gezahmt werden kann. Dazu kann die Philosophie beitragen, jedoch nicht, indem sie ihn argumentativ zu widerlegen versucht, sondern indem sie ihn verstehen und so bekampfen hilft.Eine deutsche Ubersetzung Vom Mythus des Staates ist in der Philosophischen Bibliothek (Band 541) lieferbar.

Eine Reflexion aus Kants handschriftlichem Nachlass, in der von einer anthropologia transcendentalis die Rede ist, lost Verwunderung aus. Bei allen Vorbehalten wegen der Singularitat dieser Formulierung im Kantschen Werk besitzt die Stelle jedoch eine wichtige Bedeutung und erfordert eine genauere Analyse. Denn in dieser Reflexion erklart Kant auch, dass ein Gelehrter vermeiden musse, ein Cyclop zu werden, das heit die Phanomene mit nur einem Auge zu betrachten. Jeder Arzt, Theologe, Jurist, selbst Geometer hat Kant zufolge noch ein Auge notig, welches macht, dass er seinen Gegenstand noch aus dem Gesichtspunkte anderer Menschen ansieht.

In her study Chaoluan Kao offers a comprehensive investigation of popular piety at the time of the European Reformations through the study of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Protestant prayerbooks. It pursues a historical-contextual approach to spirituality by integrating social and religious history in order to yield a deeper understanding of both the history of Christian piety and of church history in general. The study explores seven prayerbooks by German authors and seventeen English prayerbooks from the Reformation and post-Reformation as well as from Lutheran, Anglican, and Puritan traditions, examining them as spiritual texts with social and theological significance that helped disseminate popular understandings of Protestant piety. Early Protestant piety required intellectual engagement, emphasized a faithful and heartfelt attitude in approaching God, and urged regular exercise in prayer and reading. Early Protestant prayerbooks modeled for their readers a Protestant piety that was a fervent spiritual practice solidly grounded in the social context and connections of its practitioners. Through those books, Reformation could be understood as redefining the meanings of peoples spiritual lives and re-discovering of a pious life. In a broader sense, they functioned as a channel of historical and spiritual transition, which not only tells us the transformation and transmission of Reformation historically but also signifies the development of Christian spirituality. The social-historical study of the prayerbooks furthers our understanding of continuity, change, and inter-confessional influence in the Christian piety of early modern Europe.

James E. Bruce explores the relationship between morality and Gods free choices in the thought of Francis Turretin (16231687). The first book-length treatment of Turretins natural law theory, Rights in the Law provides an important theological backdrop to Early Modern moral and political philosophy. Turretin affirms Thomas Aquinass approach to the natural law, calling it the common opinion of the Reformed orthodox, but he develops it, too, by introducing a threefold scheme of right (ius)divine, natural, and positiveto explain how change within the law is possible. For example, God can change the specific day for Sabbath observance from Saturday to Sundayfrom positive rightwithout changing the natural law precept that finite creatures ought to rest. Yet even with respect to the natural law God is still free. God can make a world in which there is no such thing as murder: he can choose not to make a world that contains such a thing as man. What God cannot do is make a murderable man. So Gods free choices determine the natural law insofar as the natural law is constituted by the nature of the things that God has chosen to create.

In academic as well as in public debates audiovisual media have often been accused of perpetuating gender stereotypes and of confronting viewers time and again with traditional role models and binary concepts of masculinity and femininity. In recent years, films, television series and music videos increasingly have shown women and men who transgress the traditional gender dichotomy. One of the central ideas behind this volume is the attempt to bring together explorations of gendering in different audiovisual media. The contributions seek to explore in particular shifting constructions of femininity and masculinity and aim to provide further insight into the media- and genre-specific ways of constructing, perpetuating and challenging gender concepts in audiovisual media, taking into consideration the interplay of the different levels on which gendering occurs in them. Thus, two articles in the present volume address the processes of constructing, perpetuating and challenging notions of femininity and masculinity in music videos, while other contributions are dedicated to the analysis of gendering in films and/or TV series.

Pastor Fritz Jahr used the term bioethics as early as 1927. It was not until the early 1970s that the term was rediscovered in the United States. Since then, the relevance of this emergent academic field of studies has permanently been growing, as the age of biotechnological and medical innovations has only just begun. Enormous progress can be expected in various areas relevant to bioethical discourses in the coming decades and centuries. In the past years, the invention of CRISPR/Cas9 has radically changed the possibilities concerning genetic modifications, even germline modifications have turned into a practical option. These developments need to be investigated by academics from various disciplines, which is the reason why the conference series on Bioethics in the New Age of Science was initialized. The present volume consists in selected papers from the first International Conference on Bioethics in the New Age of Science, which took place on the 4th and 5th of May 2017 at the "Vasile Goldis" West University of Arad, Romania.

Yves Congar was a theological advisor to the preparatory commission for Vatican II, and attended all sessions of the Council (1962-1965) as a theological expert. His daily journal provides a window into the Councils workings and into the development of what would become a series of historical documents and declarations. Theologian Yves Congar op, silenced and exiled in 1955, was in 1960 made a theological advisor to the preparatory commission for Vatican II. From then on, and all through the Council (1962-1965), he was an influential day-to-day participant in its work. His diary provides a window into the Councils workings and the development of what would become a series of historical documents and declarations. It also offers Congars own down-to-earth and candid perspective on many of the remarkable people and events that shaped the Council.

Lebendige Tradition Kontinuitat und Wandel als Herausforderungen fur Kirchen und Theologien Tagungsbericht der 21. Wissenschaftlichen Konsultation der Societas OecumenicaLiving Tradition Continuity and Change as Challenges to Churches and Theologies Proceedings of the 21st Academic Consultation of the Societas OecumenicaLiving tradition is the focal point of this volume, exploring theologies of tradition, captivities of tradition, changing traditions, and dynamics of Tradition. It takes on the notion of living tradition from four distinct angles. How do various churches and denominations handle continuity while embracing different theologies of tradition? How do individuals address traditionalism and fundamentalism when faced with the captivities of tradition? In what ways can identity be preserved through discontinuities when dealing with changing traditions? The volume encompasses contributions from 31 scholars, presented during the 21st academic consultation of Societas Oecumenica (the European Society for Ecumenical Research).[Lebendige Tradition. Kontinuitat und Wandel als Herausforderungen fur Kirchen und Theologien] Die lebendige Tradition steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes und untersucht Theologien der Tradition, Gefangene der Tradition, sich verandernde Traditionen und Dynamiken der Tradition. Der Begriff der lebendigen Tradition wird aus vier verschiedenen Blickwinkeln betrachtet. Wie gehen verschiedene Kirchen und Konfessionen mit Kontinuitat um und berucksichtigen gleichzeitig unterschiedliche Theologien der Tradition? Wie gehen Einzelpersonen mit Traditionalismus und Fundamentalismus um, wenn sie mit den Fesseln der Tradition konfrontiert werden? Auf welche Weise kann Identitat durch Diskontinuitaten im Umgang mit sich verandernden Traditionen bewahrt werden? Der Band umfasst Beitrage von 31 Wissenschaftlern, die wahrend der 21. akademischen Konsultation der Societas Oecumenica (der Europaischen Gesellschaft fur okumenische Forschung) vorgestellt wurden.

Post-war Lower Silesia was intended by the communists to be a "laboratory of socialism". Hence, they developed and pursued a special policy towards the Catholic Church. The book highlights the specificity of the pastoral ministry provided by the successive rulers of the Church in Wrocaw (Karol Milik, Kazimierz Lagosz, Cardinal Bolesaw Kominek) in the realities of the communist state. It shows the role of Cardinal Kominek who was persecuted for his attitude towards communists, his activity in the Polish Episcopate and in the forum of the universal Church. Moreover, it presents the system of repression aimed at diocesan clergy and religious orders and limiting theological education. With the objective of secularising the Lower Silesian society, the communists put emphasis on promoting their ideology, especially among the young generation. The Church responded with speeches by hierarchs condemning these activities and with pastoral initiatives to slow down the process.

This book does not only deal with the history, but also with the effects of the Reformation over the mentality, education and scientifical research among Hungarians during the last five centuries. The spirit of the Reformation has not only been a church-forming factor, but also a force of nation-building and salvation. This volume includes 17 studies of Hungarian Reformed theologians presented at a conference in November 2016. The main goal was to give an overview of the most recent research results in history and theology regarding Reformation and its effects over society and mentality among Hungarians. The contributors come from various Hungarian theological universities from the Carpathian basin, thus the book is an overview of their research topics and results.The City Cluj-Napoca was, became and remained an important center of the Reformation, as significant events took place in its surroundings as well. The Faculty of Reformed Theology of the Babe-Bolyai University and the Protestant Theological Institute has always functioned in an environment, where the challenges of multi-confessionalism and multiethnicity are also present beside interdisciplinarity.

From his death in 1761 through the American Civil War, Samuel Davies was a recognized name among American Presbyterians, yet for more than a century he has remained far more obscure in discussions of American religion. During the mid-Eighteenth Century, New Side Presbyterian evangelist and preacher Samuel Davies was a pioneer for religious toleration in Colonial America, yet to date no single work has examined Davies vision for the interior life. Theology and Spirituality in the Works of Samuel Davies is the first monograph-length analysis of Davies conception of Christian spirituality. After a decade of pastoral ministry to congregations in Virginia, Davies followed eminent American theologian Jonathan Edwards as the fourth President of the College of New Jersey (Princeton University), a tenure cut short by his early death at age thirty-seven. J.C. Harrod examines various aspects of Davies own personal piety as well as the place that Scripture, conversion, holiness, and the means of grace played in his formulation of Christian piety.

Joel R. Beekes work is an academic monograph of historical theology that examines three flashpoints of controversy in Reformation and Post-Reformation theology. As the subtitle, Early Lutheran Predestination, Calvinian Reprobation, and Variations in Genevan Lapsarianism implies, the work addresses, first, the development of the Lutheran doctrine of predestination from Martin Luther (14831546) and Philip Melanchthon (14971560) to the Formula of Concord (1577); second, the development of John Calvins (15091564) doctrine of reprobation as traced through his writings; and third, the doctrine of predestination in Geneva with a particular emphasis on lapsarianism from Theodore Beza (15191605) in the sixteenth century to Jean-Alphonse Turretin (16711737) and Jacob Vernet (16981789) in the eighteenth century. The fruit of three decades of study by a professor of systematic theology who specializes in Reformation and Post-Reformation theology, this book offers a harvest of insights into questions that stood at the center of Reformation debates. Dr. Donald Sinnema, a leading scholar in predestinarian theology and the Synod of Dort, writes: "Beeke addresses these difficult matters with sensitivity to historical context and development, with systematic acuity, and a broad grasp of secondary scholarly literature with which he dialogues. The result is a balanced analysis of these issues that should bring greater clarity to scholarly understanding of the doctrine of predestination in the early modern era."

James M. Scott examines a denarius minted in Rome in 55 bce which is visually fascinating but conceptually enigmatic. On its obverse, around the head of a female figure with turreted crown, appears the name A. Plautius, who held the office of aedilis curulis in that year; on its reverse is a camel, in front of which a male figure kneels on his right leg, holding the camels reins in his left hand and extending a branch in his right hand; the legend reads: BACCHIVS IVDAEVS.Scotts study argues that the oft-suggested connection between Aristobulus gift of the golden vine (from the Temple) and the Bacchius Iudaeus denarius does seem to merit further investigation. To that end,he examines, first, Pompeys own agenda in having the coin minted. It is shown that the year the denarius appeared, 55 bce, was the same year in which Pompey dedicated his spectacular theater-temple in Rome, and, furthermore, that these very public displays are related as expressions of Pompeys Dionysian pretensions. Second, Scott examines each element of the denarius in question, looking for clues as to the meaning of Bacchius Iudaeus. It is shown that the Latin inscription refers first and foremost to the god Bacchus/Dionysus via an interpretatio Romana. Finally, he explores the possible implications of his investigation for the precise date of the fall of Jerusalem in 63 bce. Scotts study delves deeply into Judaism at the beginning of the Roman era, using the Roman coin to highlight the complex interface between Greco-Roman and Jewish religiocultural institutions of the period.

Hegel gilt nicht umsonst als einer der wirkungsmachtigsten Denker der Philosophiegeschichte. Er war es, der durch ein neues dialektisches Denken eine bedeutende Innovation schuf und zugleich wichtige Denktraditionen fortfuhrte. Hegels dialektisches Denken ist deshalb ein faszinierendes Wechselspiel von Innovation und Tradition. Als Initialzundungen fur Hegels Denken werden Auseinandersetzungen mit Platon, Aristoteles, Kant und Holderlin untersucht sowie die Entwicklungsgeschichte seiner Dialektik nachvollzogen. Dieser Blick verleiht den Grundfragen der dialektischen Logik, der hegelschen Metaphysik und Subjektivitatstheorie sowie der Ethik und Asthetik eine neue Klarheit.

The historical study of Protestantism is often limited to internal or national discussions. Yet a broader, international look means also studying the major upheavals that occurred throughout the world, such as wars and globalisation.This volume first reviews the history of the church in the 20th century from an international and interdisciplinary vantage point and takes a look at the most important themes and conflicts that marked that often tension-filled time, among others the two world wars, globalisation, the broad number of continuities and discontinuities, the influence of the 1960s on social life, and the debate on the role of gender in the history of Christianity.With contributions by H. Lehmann, H. McLeod, A.V. Tnnessen, U. stergaard, M. Greschat, N. Hope, M. Tomka (), H. Oelke, K.-J. Hummel, D. Thorkildsen, K. Koschorke, K. Ward, E. Gebremedhin and V. Mortensen.

This book presents case studies and empirical data of a phenomenon which increasingly gains popularity in Western societies: deconversion. There is, the authors argue, no better word than deconversion to describe processes of disengagement from religious orientations because these have much in common with conversion. Termination of membership may eventually be the final step of deconversion, but it involves biographical and psychological dynamics which can and need to be reconstructed by qualitative approaches and analyzed by quantitative instruments.In the Bielefeld-based Cross-Cultural Study on Deconversion disengagement processes from a variety of religious backgrounds in the USA and in Germany were examined, ranging from well-established religious organizations to new religious and fundamentalist groups. Nearly 1,200 persons participated in thestudy and were interviewed from 2002 to 2005. In the focus of the study are 100 deconverts from the USA and from Germany who were examined with narrative interviews, faith development interviews and an extensive questionnaire. For case study elaboration, the study followed a research design with an innovative triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data. Four chapters, corresponding to four types of deconversion, present 21 case studies. The highlights of the research project are new data on spirituality the deconverts in particular appear to prefer a more spiritual than religious self-identification and in-depth analyses of a variety of deconversion narratives with special focus on personality factors, motivation, attitudes, religious development, psychological well-being and growth, religious fundamentalism and right-wing authoritarianism. The results of this project which was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft are of special relevance for counselling and pastoral care, for religious education and for people concerned with administration and management of religious groups and churches, but also for a wider audience interested in contemporary changes in the religious fields in the USA and Germany.
