A leading biblical scholar, Hans Heinrich Schmid, believes that righteousness, or the right order of the world, is the fundamental problem of our human existence. It is a key theme in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testaments theology of creation and salvation, along with associated themes such as justice, steadfast love/loyalty, truth/ fidelity, compassion/mercy, sin and disorder/chaos. A number of studies of righteousness have been undertaken but most have tended to focus on Israels call to be righteous, as voiced in particular in the Prophetic Books and the Psalter. In contrast, this book focuses on divine righteousness as the basis for all other notions of righteousness, as this is outlined in the foundational teaching or revelation of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament- namely, the Torah or Pentateuch. It then undertakes a study of how righteousness in the Prophetic Books, the Psalter and the Book of Job relates to this foundational teaching.

Fosco speaks as a member of Post-Christian Society that has emerged from the Great Walk-Out from established religion but as one who cannot subscribe to the Economic Myth of Rational Humanism. Foscos text, which he dubs My Reality, is republished in this volume, accompanied by six exploratory essays, ranging from the supportive to the dismissive, which seek to open up debate on the issues which he poses. Can we work towards a society in which humane values prevail, or must we accept that ours is, for lack of a better, the best of possible worlds?

Where in the world was Jesus when he prayed? Where is any one of us when we pray? Since we are embodied creatures, our prayer location can be mapped onto space-time coordinates. Since we are social creatures, our prayers are also situated within our social locations. But do these sets of coordinates exhaustively identify the place that prayer takes when truly entered into? Conversely, can either set totally prevent prayer from taking place there? The studies in When Prayer Takes Place explore dimensions of these issues traced in selected texts from both parts of the Christian Bible.

New Testament scholarship lacks an overall interpretive framework in which to understand Judean identity. This lack of interpretive framework is quite acute in scholarship on the historical Jesus, where the issue of Judeanness (Jewishness) is moststrongly debated. A socio-cultural model of Judean ethnicity is developed, being a synthesis of (1) Sanders notion of covenantal nomism, (2) Berger and Luckmanns theories on the sociology of knowledge, (3) Dunns four pillars of Second Temple Judaism and his new perspective on Paul, (4) cultural or social anthropology in the form of modern ethnicity theory, and lastly, (5) Dulings Socio-Cultural Model of Ethnicity. The proposed model is termed Covenantal Nomism. It is a pictorial representation of the Judean symbolic universe, which as an ethnic identity, is proposed to be essentially primordialist. The model is given appropriate content by investigating what would have been typical of first-century Judean ethnic identity. It is also argued that there existed a fundamental continuity between Judea and Galilee, as Galileans were ethnic Judeans themselves and they lived on the ancestral land of Israel. Attention is lastly focused on the matter of ethnic identity in Q. The Q people were given an eschatological Judean identity based on their commitment to Jesus and the requirements of the kingdom of God.

A superb collection of contemporary research on German-language religious education.Professor Julian Stern, Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, UKAlthough specific contexts differ between and within countries, the issues and challenges regarding religious education in schools are essentially the same worldwide. It is therefore very valuable and relevant that this volume makes the rich insights and approaches to religious education developed and brought together by German scholars available to a wider audience.Professor Gerdien Bertram-Troost, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The NetherlandsThis volume can function as a toolkit for teachers aiming to equip the younger generations with skills and competences needed in navigating their paths to good life.Professor Arniika Kuusisto, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki, FinlandThese reflections speak directly to the difficulties of teaching religious education both in Germany and internationally.Professor Robyn Horner, School of Theology, Australian Catholic University

Mission in crisis this diagnosis makes immediate sense in view of the rapid decline of European Christian churches. However, there is a great deal of controversy as to what exactly this crisis consists of, what its actual causes are and what dynamics the crisis discourse itself exhibits. The contributions in this volume were held on an international conference that took place from November 2527, 2022 at the University of Zurich. They pursue these questions from a mission-theological perspective and seek to open up new perspectives for the future of the church in both secular and plural societies.With contributions from: Heike Breitenstein, John G. Flett, Ralph Kunz, Sabrina Muller, Stefan Paas, Henk de Roest, Stefan Schweyer, Patrick Todjeras, Graham Tomlin, Benno van den Toren, and Henning Wrogemann. [Mission in der Krise. Uber eine unerledigte Aufgabe der Kirche] Mission in der Krise diese Diagnose leuchtet im Blick den rapiden Niedergang europaischer christlicher Kirchen unmittelbar ein. Allerdings ist heftig umstritten, worin genau diese Krise besteht, was ihre eigentlichen Ursachen sind und welche Dynamik der Krisendiskurs selbst aufweist. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes stammen von einer internationalen, vom 25.27.11.2022 an der Universitat Zurich abgehaltenen Tagung. Sie gehen diesen Fragen in missionstheologischer Perspektive nach und suchen neue Perspektiven fur die Zukunft von Kirche in ebenso sakularen wie pluralen Gesellschaften zu eroffnen.

These pages offer a new edition of Yves Congars A History of Theology, which was originally published in the 1960s. This work began as a lengthy article appearing in the multi-volume Dictionnaire de Theologie in 1946 entitled Theologie. Congar wrote that he, Fr M-D Chenu OP, and Fr Henri-Marie Feret OP in the 1930s planned a book of this type.

Liturgical Feasts and Seasons, in this third volume of paper, from Thomas Mertons conferences during his decade (1955-1965) as novice master at the Cistercian Abbey of Gethsemani, his insight into the liturgical pattern of the Christian year and beyond is presented in fresh detail. Mertons own commitment to this central dimension of Christian life is clear, and nowhere more so than in his work introducing students to the patterns that would mark their lives as monks. Though dating from the period just before the liturgical reforms of Vatican II, Mertons commentaries remain pertinent. The thoroughly annotated text is preceded by an extensive introduction situating this material in the context of Mertons lifelong writing on liturgy. Moreover, as his former student Br. Paul Quenon notes in his foreword, this context is one deeply rooted in Mertons understanding of Scripture. These notes . . . take us into one mans lifetime of reflection and seasoned experience of the Church Year. In the Liturgical Feasts and Seasons: Novitiate Conferences on Scripture and Liturgy 3, Patrick F. OConnell deeply rooted in Mertons understanding of Scripture.

A daily Luther breviary for pastors and laity, for use in college, seminary, and university, and for reading at home; the book is suitable for Christian believers, inquirers, as well as for those interested in studying Reformation history. Martin Luther did not bequeath to us a system of theological thought, but his sermons, poetry, letters, and essays are all written with specific situations in mind. This book takes the same approach in dealing with topics. Twelve topics, spread over the months of the year, introduce the reader to Luthers theology. The selected readings from the Wittenberg reformer are translated into modern English and explained in everyday language. The passages from his writings have been selected with an eye to the Christian year and its festivals; at the same time they describe the nature and consequences of Luthers reformational insights. With the added benefit of a commentary on the selected Luther texts as well as on the art work for each month, this book promises to be not only a helpful and entertaining companion for the journey through the church year, but also a compendium of Luthers theology.

Traditional theodicies, the strategies which seek to reconcile the co-existence of God and evil, fail more on moral than on logical grounds. Those that presuppose an impersonal God substitute metaphysical good for moral good; those that are informed by a personal God deny humanitys competence and right to pass ethical judgment. Both types of what Schulweis calls Subject Theology deprecate the moral understanding of good and evil and leave in their wake a deity devoid of those recognizable moral features found in the biblical and liturgical tradition of monotheism. After analyzing the idea of perfection which underlies the arguments of traditional theology, Rabbi Schulweis proposes a predicate theology, another way to understand God and the problem of evil. Predicate theology applies an inversionary principle in which the subject-predicate formulation of God and His attributes are reversed. Not the subject but the moral predicates of Elohuth, or Godliness, are the proper concerns of theological study. Elohuth is not lodged in a Thou or an It but in the discoverable predicates of divinity. Predicate Theology frames the question and answer of the problem in such a way that it produces a theodicy which does not trammel the moral sensibilities of post-holocaust man.

An outline of the 50 years of an Australian Theological Journal, Compass Review, details the period from the 1960s through to 2010.

A series of articles by Yves Congar from 1946 to 1956. Yves Congar kept in a discontinuous way, a journal on the main events of the life of church to which he was involved in this period, either directly or indirectly. he assembled these writings which constitute a living chronicle and informs the reader about the history of intellectual life of the zCatholic Church after the Second World War. Fresh out of captivity the Congar after the War he was under suspicion and sanctions by ecclesial authorities for some of his writings. The journal details this ordeal, and is an exceptional document on the relationship between theological research and Roman magisterium at the end of the pontificate of Pius XII.

The Bonhoeffer Legacy: An International Journal is a fully refereed academic journal aimed principally at providing an outlet for an ever expanding Bonhoeffer scholarship in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific region, as well as being open to article submissions from Bonhoeffer scholars throughout the world. It also aims to elicit and encourage future and ongoing scholarship in the field. The focus of the journal, captured in the notion of Legacy, is on any aspect of Bonhoeffers life, theology and political action that is relevant to his immense contribution to twentieth century events and scholarship. Legacy can be understood as including those events and ideas that contributed to Bonhoeffers own development, those that constituted his own context or those that have developed since his time as a result of his work. The editors encourage and welcome any scholarship that contributes to the journals aims. The journal also has book reviews.

This book provides reflections on the Sunday Bible readings in the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Years A, B, and C of the liturgical cycle. They previously appeared in separate volumes of Sunday Matters published by ATF Theology in the Dominican Series. They have now been combined in this single volume, colour coded for easier use, and with a revised general introduction and introduction to the Gospel of Matthew. Like the previous volumes, this one is intended to assist those preparing homilies and those with a desire to understand a little more deeply the readings used in the Sunday liturgy.
