      God's Blueprint

      Scientific Evidence that Earth was Created by Humans

      by Christopher Knight

      This book puts the idea of God on trial. Whilst the case has been hotly disputed over recent generations with scientists on one side and theologians on the other, evidence either way has been thin on the ground. Faith – belief without evidence – has been the basis for the world’s major religions. Most scientists reject the notion of God because they require factual, empirical evidence in order to accept any proposition as being real. However, new information has become available, which appears to provide hard-nosed evidence of God’s existence. Can faith be replaced by understanding, and can scientists formally embrace, once again, the concept of a supreme being as they did in Isaac Newton’s day? Nothing less than God’s 'blueprint' appears to have been discovered – found by chance by the author while researching the science of the Neolithic (late Stone Age) people of western Europe. The case will be tried taking the evidence step-by-step. You, the reader, are the jury. You must evaluate the evidence as the proceedings develop and, to aid you, there will be a brief summing up at the end of each section. At the close of the book you are asked to make a judgment as to whether the case is proven or not. Does God exist?

      Paulus

      by Günther Bornkamm

      The much criticized historical-critical and modern approach, tries to introduce to the history and message of Paul. The outline of his figure and mission are seen more clearly today and it breaks the ideas that more pious interpretations. All of Christendom must ask itself whether it is prepared to hear his message of salvation or in Jesus? words only to build and ornament prophet graves. Günther Bornkamms Book sticks close to the authentic Pauline epistles and let?s Pauls words be heard again.

      The Religions of Old Egypt

      by Françoise Dunand/Christine Zivie-Coche

      This Presentation takes Egypt's entire history into account. Reaching from the beginning to the end of this culture, it also takes the end of the religion of the pharaohs into account. Next to Greeks, Judeans, Syrians and Christians came to Egypt. How did the people of this poly cultural Old Egypt define the relationship to the gods during their lives and after their death? How did they construct the relationship between the real physical world and the invisible world, that was seen as just as real as the physical world. Along the questions these issues follow: relationship between the political and the religious, the term godly, service to the gods and personal devotion, the world of the dead and burial traditions.

      Orientation Guide to Religions of the World

      by Klaus Ebeling

      Dialogue with other cultures doesn?t only require comprehension of the foreign religion but also the knowledge of the own position. This work offers the essential background through a respectful and critical analysis of the religions: Judaism, Christendom, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. At the same time the work guides the analysis of religious convictions. The texts are a valuable aid to everyone looking to inform themselves fast and reliably.

      Euthanasia

      On the Theological Acceptance of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia

      by Michael Frieß

      Euthanasia as expression of devout trust? The central German churches stand in unison in their strict disapproval of the liberalisation of euthanasia. Interestingly this position is not shared by many Christian and other big churches in Europe. The controversial role model in other European countries and whether new rules are necessary in Germany are discussed. Frieß describes the central positions of the legal and theological controversies. He shows inconsistencies and critically questions the disapproving statements of the churches. Finally he pursues lines of argumentation which lead to a reasoned yes to the acceptance of assisted suicide and euthanasia.

      Discourse. Actors. Forms of Knowledge Volume 1: 2nd to 15th century

      by Gregor Maria Hoff / Ulrich H. J. Körtner

      Theology develops in debate, in lore on difficulties and conflict. In 18 articles the theologians of the 2nd to the 15th century are introduced. These have added decisively to solve imminent questions. After a biographical overview and placement in the historical context each author's position to his topic is laid out through the chief. Historical breaks from Nicaea to Nominalism frame the work and show the in depth theological knowledge. Thus a concentrated overview of the history of theology, that introduces, orientates and facilitates in depth studying, is given. The 16th to the 21st century is topic of the second volume.

      Critique of the Rationality of Religious Studies

      Plea for an Empirically Founded Theory and Methodology

      by Bretislav Horyna

      Hornya investigates the theoretic and methodological difficulties of an advancement of religious studies according to system and language theory's and philosophy of science's rules and criteria. This leads to a critical analysis of the contemporary subject, showing the conditions on which academic independence of religious studies is based, to which academic type the subject belongs and the epistemological and theoretical priorities to be focussed on. The analysis of the terms experience, empiricism, observation, rationality, proof, argument, sentence, value, truth, cognition, believe and knowledge etc. leads to a plea for an empirically founded and formally valid, knowledge cultivating and emergent theory and methodology of religious studies.

      Figures of Life

      24 Men and Women of the Old and New Testament

      by Britta Hübener / Gottfried Orth / Jürgen Wehnert

      From Adam to Paul, from Eve to Priscilla. In this work twelve men and women each from the bible are presented. What do we know about them due to historical-critical research? What are we to do with this knowledge? What will we never discover about them? How much knowledge is necessary to reasonably discuss them? Often it is the effect of a figure ? in theology and church, as in art and literature ? that brings them to life, even if historical knowledge is thin. Men write about female figures, women write about male figures, trying to fathom what is special about these and whether meeting them today would be worth while.

      Pastoral Care

      by Doris Nauer

      What exactly is the meaning of caring for the souls of fellow humans? Which understanding of the soul leads to what form of pastoral care. Returning to the biblical view of soul Nauer develops an understanding of pastoral care convincing to postmodern humans and rooted in the Judaeo-Christian idea of man and god. The implications of competence and role profiles for pastoral caregivers are presented. A comprehensive concept of pastoral care is given, that enlarges the field of pastoral care but requires prioritisation. Thus this book can be read as a theory-practice guidebook to ascertain one's concept of pastoral care.

      The Medial

      The Search for the Unity of Religions in Religious Studies

      by Rainer Neu

      Myths and fairy tales, religious biographies and legends, shamanic voyages beyond and priestly rituals, the architecture of religious buildings, the philosophy of religions of romanticists, the sensitive analysis of phenomenologist?s of religion and the critical analysis of sociologists reaching from functionalism to systemic theory all refer to something common in religions. In the variety of manifestations a general structure can be recognised: the medial. The medial proves to be the object of religious studies. It represents the unity in religion whilst acknowledging the differences and distinctive features. The religious manifestations come from a sphere of original unity (the holy), diverge into two poles (the holy - the profane) and strive for renewed integration (the medial). Thus religion can be analysed as a process of exchange between the poles holy and profane. Religious experience is possible wherever these spheres permeate.

      Technics and Transcendence

      On the Relationship of Technics, Religion and Society

      by Katharina Neumeister / Peggy Renger-Berka / Christian Schwarke

      Technics is viewed as a critical motor to the disenchantment, as it competes with a religious interpretation and practice of the world. Especially in public debates modern technics falls back to promises of salvation und utopia to advertise for itself. Thus technics and transcendence lies closer together than presumed. Furthermore technics aims at making the impossible possible. At the same time it creates new impossibilities, concerning control and application. The contributions to this work address the relationship of technics and transcendence in theoretical and practical interdisciplinary examples.

      Beautiful Secularisation

      Biblical Figures in Literature

      by Michael Nüchtern

      The figures of the bible dont only come to life in the annunciations of the church, but also through mundane culture, especially literature. The tales of Adam and Eve, of the Old Testaments Josef or of Marie are a primary part of the occidents literature. The bible is document of faith as well as educational. As a holy book it can be found on the altars of churches but also in every household. Thus the bible takes effect outside of the church. Christianity has accepted, enabled and supported these cultural impacts. Wherever biblical figures and motives are used a secularisation of biblical content takes place. Through this secular form the cultural vitality of biblical tales is demonstrated.

      Paul among Philosophers

      by Christian Strecker / Joachim Valentin

      Was Paul of Tarsus a philosopher? Does he even rank amongst those philosophers who influenced occidental live and thought? The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben says, that the Epistle to the Romans is the fundamental messianic text of the western culture. The Jewish scholars Jacob Taubes and Daniel Boyarin insist on the philosophical and political Force of Pauline thinking. Long before that, Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger dealt intently with the Epistle. Was Paul a Philosopher? In any case he received a lot of attention from the modern philosophers. The collection of contributions by theologians and philosophers gives profound insights into his thinking.

      Working with the Psalms III

      by Beat Weber

      The theological work on Psalms and Psalter cannot be confined to factual statements, themes and concepts. Spirituality is of genuine concern as the Psalter guides us and brings us into a dialogue with god that reaches from lament to praise. The book of Psalms is unique within the bible as it represents "word to god" (Payer) and "word from god" (Writings) at the same time. The work aims at making the resources and knowledge of the study of the psalms available to students, the church and schools.

      The ABC of Protestant Thinking

      by Britta Hübener / Gottfried Orth

      Words of life specify what Christians believe in. They instruct to criticise reality and give hope for change. How can we speak about these words of life theologically responsible and in understandable language today? How can their controversial history and cultural perspectives come to life? How can these words participate in clarifying the connection of Faith, knowledge, learning and doing? This "ABC of protestant thinking" was created by competent experts from university and practical church. It reveals, keeping an ecumenical open mind, the programmatic terms of protestant thinking and introduces to the multitude of theological understanding.

      Sermon on the Mount

      by Manfred Köhnlein

      Basic Christian knowledge includes Jesus? Sermon on the Mount as his most significant, programmatic Speech, regardless of the academic question how much of it is Jesus himself and how much was added by the Evangelist Matthew. The Sermon on the Mount never had its effect as a historical document, but as a historical challenge. Francis of Assisi lived it, Luther loved it, Leo Tolstoi, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King have based their peace programme?s on it. At the centre of the primary interpretation lies the principle question of feasibility of Jesus? propositions. The most important parts are interpreted dictum by dictum and drawing by drawing, focusing on the question of justice, that keeps the chapters and verses together. The Sermon on the Mount is more than a cool, factual instruction. It is a personal and societal provocation.

      Natural ethics and biblical creation story

      A discourse theoretical and narrative-hermeneutic connection

      by Christof Hardmeier / Konrad Ott

      The human-induced natural crisis provokes again the question between man and nature. Here, the biblical dogma “Subdue the earth” has marked deeply the nature forgotten life orientations of the modernity. Through a biblical-theological rereading of Genesis 1, this dogma is radically brought into question. In the biblical creation texts, an origin utopian view on the nature can be discovered which coincidences largely with the secular nature ethics and conveys a basic trust in nature as a gift of God. Through a new understanding of the texts in dialogue with the philosophy, the deep misunderstanding of Genesis 1 are revised as submission order and the questionable conception of god and man are enlightened and revised from the ground up.
