Lived Theology
The common priesthood is one of the central concepts of Protestant ecclesiology—and yet it remains a marginal phenomenon in practical theological discourses. The unwieldy wording and the theologically dense conception make it difficult to talk about. For that reason, the question arises as to how “priestesses” and “priests” show themselves today, what life plans they have, and what their lived theology looks like, which must again and again change and prove itself in everyday life. This lived theology is at the center of Sabrina Müller’s attention. Such theology focuses not on the traditional forms of church alone, nor is there a return to parochial core church structures.

The Vitality of Liberation Theology
The Vitality of Liberation Theology argues for the ongoing necessity of a liberating theology in a world of endemic poverty and economic globalization. Although some have declared liberation theology's demise, or even its death, Nessan articulates the imperative and logic of it for a new generation. Latin American liberation theology burst forth as the most original and compelling theological movement from the developing world in the modern period. The story of the emergence and proliferation of liberation theology, as well as the opposition to this movement both within and without Latin America, is one of the most significant and lasting developments in Christianity since the last third of ...
Digital Humanities and Research Methods in Religious Studies
This volume provides practical, but provocative, case studies of exemplary projects that apply digital technology or methods to the study of religion. An introduction and 16 essays are organized by the kinds of sources digital humanities scholars use – texts, images, and places – with a final section on the professional and pedagogical issues digital scholarship raises for the study of religion.
Feminist Interpretation
In the hundred years since The Women's Bible, giant strides have been made in feminist interpretation of the Bible. Now comes the first comprehensive overview of the whole field. The authors systematically recount those efforts to describe the story of women in both testaments, to uncover tendencies not supportive of women, and to describe biblical traditions that empower women. The book unfolds in three parts: -- Historical, Hermeneutical, and Methodological Foundations-- Toward a Feminist Reconstruction of the History of Israel-- Toward a Feminist Reconstruction of Early Christianity
Egypt as a Place of Refuge
"Garrett Galvin examines biblical texts from a number of different time periods (1 Kgs 11:14-12:24; Jeremiah 46; Matt. 2:13-15, 19-21) in order to highlight the importance of literary genre for understanding the phenomenon of Egypt as a place of refuge in the Old Testament."--Back cover
Multirationales Management
Als hybride Organisation finden sich konfessionelle Unternehmen der Sozialwirtschaft gleichzeitig mehreren unterschiedlichen Handlungslogiken gegenüber, die allesamt für deren Fortbestand notwendig sind. Sie sind gefordert, diese innerhalb der Organisation zu vermitteln sowie in ein Verhältnis zu ihrem Existenzgrund zu setzen, um diesen in der Praxis von normativem, strategischem und operativem Handeln zu verwirklichen. Im Kontext des Werkes wird Multirationalität deshalb als notwendige Bedingung für die Gestaltung des Organisationstypus illustriert und dieser unter Rekurs zu einer systemtheorethischen und neoinstitutionalistischen Organisationstheorie untersucht. Schwerpunkt ist neben einer theoriegeleiteten Deskription die Bezugnahme zu der normativen Dimension konfessioneller sozialwirtschaftlicher Unternehmen und deren Bedeutung als gestaltungsbestimmende Maximen.
Ptolemy the second Philadelphus and his world
Ptolemy II Philadelphus, second Macedonian king of Egypt (282-246BC), captured intellectual high ground by founding the Alexandrian Library and Museum, and cemented celebrity status by bankrolling his courtesans' endeavours in Olympic chariot-racing. In this book scholars analyse a range of key aspects of Phiadelphus' world.
Praxis Bahnhofsmission
Als Einrichtungen von Diakonie und Caritas existieren Bahnhofsmissionen an über 100 Standorten in Deutschland mit unterschiedlichen Angeboten und Schwerpunkten. Übergreifend verstehen sie sich als niedrigschwelliger Ort pragmatischer Hilfe auf Reisen, in akuten Nöten oder existenziellen Notlagen. Gemeinsam ist allen Standorten außerdem ein christliches Selbstverständnis: "Wir sind (gelebte) Kirche am Bahnhof". Die Studie erforscht mit Mitteln der qualitativen Sozialforschung, wie die Mitarbeitenden das soziale Geschehen der Bahnhofsmission konkret herstellen, und betritt dabei auch methodisches Neuland. Am Beispiel der Bahnhofsmission wird abschließend ein hybrides Verhältnis von Kirche und Diakonie entworfen, das auf ein vorgegebenes Maß an Kirchlichkeit bzw. ein kirchliches Profil verzichten kann.
Befreiung Am Ende? Am Ende Befreiung!
This volume collects the key-note addresses on feminist theology and feminist theory given at the international conference of the ESWTR held in Salzburg in August 2001, together with other papers given at that conference and relating to this theme. It explores the interactions between liberation theology and feminist theory in European and other contexts, considering particularly aspects crossing boundaries: gender, national, disciplinary. The papers are complemented by a comprehensive bibliography of relevant literature and by an extensive review section.
Social Work and Faith-based Organizations
Faith-based organizations continue to play a significant role in the provision of social work services in many countries but their role within the welfare state is often contested. This text explores their various roles and relationships to social work practice, includes examples from different countries and a range of religious traditions and identifies challenges and opportunities for the sector. Social Work and Faith-based Organizations discusses issues such as the relationship between faith-based organizations and the state, working with an organization’s stakeholders, ethical practice and dilemmas, and faith-based organizations as employers. It also addresses areas of debate and contr...
