The famous French sociologist Emile Durkheim is universally recognised as one of the founding fathers of sociology as an academic discipline. He wrote on the division of labour, methodology, suicide and education, but his most prolific and influential works were his writings on religion, which culminated in his controversial book The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life. Although his influence continued long after his death in 1917, this is the first book to provide a detailed look at the whole of his work in the field of religion. Durkheim on Religion is a selection of readings from Durkheims writings on religion, presented in order of original publication, ranging from early reviews to articles and extracts from his books. Also included are detailed bibliographies and abstracts together with contributions by such writers as Van Gennep, Goldenweiser and Stanner. This book will be invaluable to those studying sociology and anthropology, but will also be of interest to those studying the history or philosophy of religion, as well as to anyone with an interest in Durkheim.

How is God sovereign with respect to creation? Does creation affect God? Does God suffer or change because of creation? If so, how is this related to Christology? Why have these questions been so controversial in evangelical theology, even costing some people their jobs? This book is a collection of lectures given to the Forum for Evangelical Theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Six theologians answer the questions above from a variety of perspectives. They draw on resources including the church fathers, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Jurgen Moltmann, process theology, and open theism. In the process of answering the question, does God suffer? each theologian also illustrates how responding to this subject requires an examination of other crucial evangelical issues, such as how we read Scripture and what it means to proclaim that God is love. Although the writers answer these questions in a variety of ways, the hope is that engaging in this conversation together can help evangelicals and all Christians to speak more faithfully of our sovereign God.

This work, originally published in German as Reichgottes und Menschensohn, created an even greater impression, and has had to be reckoned with in all subsequent studies of the person and work of Jesus Christ, particularly from the point of view of his Messianic self-consciousness. The first English translation was published in 1938 and the present volume is a reprint of the substantially revised edition of 1943. Translated by Floyd Filson and Bertram Lee-Wolff.

A Comprehensive Overview of Christianity and IslamTogether, the adherents of Christianity and Islam make up over half of the worlds population, and their numbers are expected to keep growing. The influence of these two faithsand their relations with each otheris seen in politics, economics, and social interactions. Religious identity and aspirations remain powerful and appealing to people around the world. Understanding global realities today requires understanding the histories and dynamics of the worlds largest religions.This book provides a comprehensive overview of Christianity and Islam, covering three interrelated areas: historical developments and encounters, the influence of religion on politics, and religious beliefs and worldviews. Wafik W. Wahba highlights key points of similarity and difference and particular factors that contributed to divergence between the Western world and the Muslim world. Exploring the various narratives that have shaped both Christianity and Islam, he argues, is crucial to understanding current trends in Christian-Muslim interactions and their impact on future relations between the two communities globally.Drawing from decades of experience teaching around the world, Wahba clarifies core beliefs that influence the actions of Muslims and Christians and their attitudes toward the other faith. This book demonstrates how learning from the past should help us avoid repeating mistakes in interactions between religious communities.

Ohne die Einheit der Wissenschaft infrage stellen zu wollen, unternimmt Heinrich Rickert den Versuch, die Kulturwissenschaften bzw. Geisteswissenschaften begrifflich und methodisch von den Naturwissenschaften abzugrenzen. Dem generalisierenden Verfahren der Naturwissenschaften setzt er das individualisierende der Kulturwissenschaften entgegen. Anders als die Naturwissenschaften, die mit Allgemeinbegriffen das verschiedenen Dingen und Vorgangen Gemeinsame zu erkunden suchen, seien die Kulturwissenschaften darauf ausgerichtet, das Wesentliche in der Einzigartigkeit und Unverwechselbarkeit ihres Erkenntnisgegenstandes zu suchen. Ihre Begriffe finden sie seiner Meinung nach, indem sie die Personen, Dinge und Ereignisse der Geschichte zu Werten in Beziehung setzen. Rickert glaubt, dass wertbezogene Erkenntnis Objektivitat beanspruchen kann, sofern ein System intersubjektiver und ubergeschichtlich geltender Werte den Bezug bildet. Seine Theorie hat Rickert umfassend entwickelt in der gro angelegten Studie uber "Die Grenzen der naturwissenschaftlichen Begriffsbildung" (18961902, 5. Aufl. 1929). In "Kulturwissenschaft und Naturwissenschaft" gibt er eine Zusammenfassung seiner Argumentation.Editorische Notiz:Der vorliegende Neudruck folgt der Ausgabe: Heinrich Rickert, Kulturwissenschaft und Naturwissenschaft, sechste und siebente durchgesehene und erganzte Auflage, erschienen bei J. C. B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), Tubingen 1926. Der Text ist neu gesetzt und typografisch modernisiert. Die Orthografie bleibt unverandert, nur offensichtliche Fehler des Setzers sind korrigiert.

La ansiedad es un fenómeno afectivo que puede protegernos del peligro y ser un peligro en sí misma. ¿Pero cuándo está justificada? ¿Cuándo deja de funcionar como señal eficaz y razonable para prevenir amenazas inminentes y se convierte en una proyeccion invasiva de nuestros propios fantasmas?Este libro muestra a traves de un exhaustivo analisis fenomenologico como la ansiedad produce una alteracion de las dimensiones de encarnacion, conciencia del tiempo y fantasia. Partiendo de la metodologia polifonica de Bakhtin y apoyandose en las voces de pensadores de la talla de Kierkegaard, Husserl, Freud, Blumenberg, Heidegger, Sartre, Adorno, Derrida y Levinas, Stefano Micali elabora nuevas categorias para comprender la ansiedad y ofrece un analisis fenomenologico de sus rasgos esenciales.Micali explora nuevas perspectivas sobre la compleja relacion entre ansiedad, miedo y trauma, a la vez que hace dialogar a la historia del arte y la antropologia cultural, la psicopatologia y la teologia, la literatura y la filosofia politica.

Este undécimo volumen comprende los títulos La lógica de los conceptos metafísicos. Tomo I: La lógica de los conceptos trascendentales (2002), La lógica de los conceptos metafísicos. Tomo II: La articulacion de los conceptos extracategoriales (2003) y La inmortalidad del alma humana (2008).Con un permanente horizonte metafisico, Millan-Puelles ha desarrollado una ontologia del espiritu que investiga la articulacion de las facultades superiores en la estructura trascendental del sujeto. Razon y libertad son temas de los que siempre parte y a los que continuamente retorna. La amplitud de su planteamiento filosofico le permite abrir su indagacion hacia cuestiones especificas del ambito economico, social o cultural, con lo que sus hallazgos antropologicos quedan contrastados en campos aparentemente ajenos a su ontologia del ser humano. Su amplia bibliografia es clara muestra de la universalidad de sus intereses intelectuales, que cubrian la practica totalidad del saber filosofico.

Análisis de los problemas que plantea la relación de la actividad científica con otras actividades humanas, y por otro, de los problemas epistemológicos, ontológicos y metafísicos que surgen en las d

The legend of Theophilus is a widely disseminated medieval miracle story. A good man gives in to Vain Glory, sells his soul to the Devil, has a terrible crisis of conscience, and is saved by the Virgin. The story is translated into most European languages and appears in stained glass, sculpture, and manuscripts. Gautier de Coinci writes the longest version of the legend. Its colorful details reveal the medieval periods deep fear of hell and the Devil and its high hopes in the Virgin and the Church.

Suggesting new ways to read Old Testament narrative and giving reasons why we should, Esler, with the aid of Mediterranean anthropology, sets out an approach that helps us to interpret a selection of narratives with a cultural understanding close tothat of an ancient Israelite. Interpreted in this way, these narratives allow us to refresh the memory that links us with pivotal stories in Jewish and Christian identities and how they foster our capacity for intercultural understanding.

Drawing together scholars whose essays exhibit work after Barth in engaging the doctrine of the Trinity and its related themes. Barths thought, as evidenced amongst his most expert commentators, allows for a variety of interpretations, the details of which are being hammered out on the pages of academic journals and volumes such as this one. It is this variety of responses to and interpretations of Barths theology that gives such vibrancy to the essays in this volume by seasoned Barth scholars and voices new to the conversation.

The seven Manichaean papyrus codices of the fourth or fifth century were discovered in illicit excavation in 1929 in the Egyptian desert. They were acquired in about equal halves by A. Chester Beatty for his library and by Carl Schmidt for the papyrus collection of the Staatliche Museen of Berlin. Having had access to the inventories, correspondence, and files in Berlin, Robinson provides translations of the German and French documents to increase access to information previously unavailable tothe scholarly community. He narrates the slow and problem-ridden path of the acquisition, conservation, and editing of these important works, including their movements between dealers, collectors, scholars, and the military in Egypt, London, Dublin,Berlin, Schondorf, Gottingen, Warsaw, Leningrad, Los Angeles, Claremont, and Copenhagen.

This is the second volume of Fergusons collected essays, and includes some of his most memorable work.

New Testament studies are witnessing many exciting developments, and Douglas Campbells groundbreaking publications offer an important contribution to future discussions about Paul. Campbell tackles familiar problems relating to justification, oldand new perspectives, and much more besides, in fresh and exciting ways. In doing so he sets down one profound challenge after another to all those involved in Pauline studies. As a consequence, his work demands extended and serious deliberation. This book seeks to facilitate academic engagement with Campbells work in a unique way. It contains chapters summarizing key themes in his thinking, reflections from friendly critics that aim to challenge or extend his ideas, and his own responseto these interlocutors. In this way, the book allows readers to be drawn into a vitally important conversation. It is academic theology in the making and constitutes a cutting edge in Pauline studies.

Early Inter-racial Oneness Pentecostalism is a look at what is perhaps the least-known chapter in the history of American Pentecostalism. The study of the first thirty years of Oneness Pentecostalism (1901-1931) is especially relevant due to its unparalleled inter-racial commitment to an all-flesh, all-people, counter-cultural Pentecost. This in-depth study details the lives of its earliest primary architects, including G.T. Haywood, R.C. Lawson, J.J. Frazee, and E.W. Doak, and the emergence ofOneness Pentecostalism and its flagship organisation, Pentecostal Assemblies of the World. This is a one-of-a-kind history of Pentecostalism, seen through the lens of the Jesus Name movement and the inter-racial struggles of the period, interlinking the significance of Charles Parham, William Seymour and the Azusa Street revival, COGIC, the newly formed Assemblies of God, and dozens of the earliest Oneness organisational bodies. Exploration of the significance of the role of African American Indianapolis leader G.T. Haywood is central, as are the development of the movements key centres in the U.S. and the ultimate loss of inter-racial unity after more than thirty years. These crucial events indelibly marked the U.S. as well as the global missionary and indigenous expansion of Oneness Pentecostalism worldwide.

Starting from both our originary experience of being given to ourselves and Jesus Christs archetypal self-donation, Gift and the Unity of Being elucidates the sense in which gift is the form of beings unity, while unity itself constitutes the permanence of the gift of being. In dialogue with ancient and modern philosophers and theologians, Lopez offers a synthetic, rather than systematic, account of the unity proper to being, the human person, God, and the relations among them. The book shows how contemplation of the triune God of love through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit allows us to discover the eternal communion that being is and to which finite being is called. It also illustrates the sense in which Gods gratuitousness unexpectedly offers thehuman person the possibility to recognize and embrace his origin and destiny, and thus he is given to see and taste in Gods light the ever-fruitful, dramatic, and mysterious positivity of being.

The idea that covenant theology is profoundly influential in John Wesleys theological thought seems dissonant. What would an evangelical Arminian have to do with a theological framework that historically belongs to a reformed understanding of salvation?How could this possibly square with his ongoing conflicts with the Calvinism of his day? On the basis of compelling evidence from his sermons and correspondence, this investigation dares to explore the idea that covenant theology is part of the infrastructure of Wesleys thought. The discovery of its role in shaping his narrative of the way of salvation is surprising and intriguing. Wesley is not only informed of and fluent in covenant theology, but also thoroughly committed to it. From Faith to Faith demonstrates that, with theological precision and discernment, Wesley appropriates covenant theology in a way consistent with both its primary theological features and his Arminianism. His distinctive view of the gradual process of the work of God in thesoul supplies valuable grist for further reflection, especially by those charged with the care of souls in the twenty-first century.
