Can the West Be Converted?
Rather than reconsidering contemporary culture in light of secularization, much of the western church operates with a degree of nostalgia. She has yet to fully embrace prospective, innovative models for what form her task might take in some of Christianity’s historic heartlands. Amidst rapidly declining church membership, contextualizing the Gospel for the contemporary West is an urgent task for churches and Christians living in this context. This book seeks an interdisciplinary, international, and ecumenical response to this challenge, uniting historical, sociological, theological, and missiological perspectives. Benefiting from recent studies in sociology of religion, Dr. Gantenbein offe...
Keeping Faith in Practice
Keeping Faith in Practice is an addition to SCM's growing Practical and Pastoral Theology list. Most books in this field are written by authors from various Protestant backgrounds. Catholic teachers in this field are frequently asked by colleagues for suggestions of Catholic resources, and find themselves at a loss. The central subject of this book is an exploration of how theology engages with the dimension of practice in the life of the Church and contemporary society and culture. The book covers the main focal points of a Catholic view of pastoral/practical theology - its foundations and different fields.
Introduction à la théologie pratique
Cet ouvrage se propose de combler un vide ressenti dans le milieu protestant francophone. En effet, la précédente entreprise de ce type remonte au milieu du siècle dernier, avec la Théologie pastorale d'Alexandre Vinet. La théologie pratique, telle qu'elle est conçue ici, se situe à l'articulation de la révélation, de l'exégèse biblique, de l'histoire des religions et de l'Eglise, de la dogmatique, de l'éthique, de la pratique religieuse et de la vie de la foi, sur le plan individuel et en Eglise. Le lecteur ne sera donc pas surpris des nombreuses facettes que comporte cette discipline, traitée ici en 17 chapitres rédigés par une douzaine de spécialistes de France et de Suiss...
International Review of Biblical Studies, Volume 47 (2000-2001)
Formerly known by its subtitle “Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete”, the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950’s. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.

Geschichte des chinesischen Denkens
Wie dem indischen Denken so hat Schweitzer auch dem chinesischen Denken einen eigenen Band gewidmet. Beide sind Teil seines bis heute aktuellen Vorhabens, durch eine Geschichte des Denkens der Menschheit die Ethik der Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben zu begründen. Schweitzer hat 1937 und 1939/40 in Lambarene fernab von Fachbibliotheken je eine Fassung seiner Geschichte des chinesischen Denkens verfaßt. Beide werden in diesem Band erstmals publiziert. Das nicht abgeschlossene Werk ist eine umfassendere Ausführung dessen, was Schweitzer in anderen Schriften nur kurz und summarisch vorgetragen hat. Seine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem chinesischen Denken eröffnet einen faszinierenden Zugang zu seiner Theologie und Ethik. In einem Nachwort verortet der Bochumer Sinologe Heiner Roetz das Werk innerhalb der Sinologie und zeigt, daß es bis heute als eine der wenigen originellen Deutungen der chinesischen Philosophie und als eine allgemeinverständliche Einführung lesenswert ist.
Making European Muslims
Making European Muslims provides an in-depth examination of what it means to be a young Muslim in Europe today, where the assumptions, values and behavior of the family and those of the majority society do not always coincide. Focusing on the religious socialization of Muslim children at home, in semi-private Islamic spaces such as mosques and Quran schools, and in public schools, the original contributions to this volume focus largely on countries in northern Europe, with a special emphasis on the Nordic region, primarily Denmark. Case studies demonstrate the ways that family life, public education, and government policy intersect in the lives of young Muslims and inform their developing religious beliefs and practices. Mark Sedgwick’s introduction provides a framework for theorizing Muslimness in the European context, arguing that Muslim children must navigate different and sometimes contradictory expectations and demands on their way to negotiating a European Muslim identity.
The Dynamics of Masters Literature
The importance of the rich corpus of “Masters Literature” that developed in early China since the fifth century BCE has long been recognized. But just what are these texts? Scholars have often approached them as philosophy, but these writings have also been studied as literature, history, and anthropological, religious, and paleographic records. How should we translate these texts for our times? This book explores these questions through close readings of seven examples of Masters Literature and asks what proponents of a “Chinese philosophy” gained by creating a Chinese equivalent of philosophy and what we might gain by approaching these texts through other disciplines, questions, an...
