Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity in a Global Context
Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity constitutes an exceptional religious tradition flourishing in sub-Saharan Africa already since late antiquity. The volume places Ethiopian Orthodoxy into a global context and explores the various ways in which it has been interconnected with the wider Christian world from the Aksumite period until today. By highlighting the formative role of both wide-ranging translocal religious interactions as well as disruptions thereof, the contributors challenge the perception of this African Christian tradition as being largely isolated in the course of its history. Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity in a Global Context: Entanglements and Disconnections offers a new perspective on the Horn of Africa’s Christian past and reclaims its place on the map of global Christianity.
Hieratikon, a Treasure of Orthodox Culture and Spirituality
The doctoral thesis about Hieratikon of priest Lucian Petroaia brings to the researchers’ attention, the most important book of service of the orthodox priest. From a historical perspective, the author has carefully identified and investigated all editions of the Hieratikon printed in Romania, from 1508 to the present; from the point of view of analyzing the content of the Hieratikon, he follows the evolution of the order of the Holly Liturgy over 500 years, often comparing the text of the Romanian Hieratikon with that of the Greek Hieratikon and the Slavic Slujebnik. The interdisciplinary approach emphasizes the essential role that the Orthodox liturgical cult had for the assertion of Romanian culture, in the landscape of the European and Universal culture.
Levant, Cradle of Abrahamic Religions
The volume is the result of a Lecture Series on The Levant, Cradle of Abrahamic Religions, which engaged scholars on topics related to the cultural and religious diversity of the historical Levant. Like a jigsaw, the studies contained within showcase interlock fragments of the historical encounters between faiths, religions and societies in a rich Levantine and Oriental space, in an attempt to render them more accessible to readers today by focusing both on broader religious phenomena as well as on the practical, liturgical and social interaction between traditions and mentalities, features representative of both faith and society at large.
The Cambridge History of Reformation Era Theology
This volume studies Reformation-Era theology by comparing how various denominations formulated and treated topics, thus encouraging ecumenical dialogue. It will remain the definitive place for teachers and students of theology to begin any further study into the origins and formulation of their denomination's teachings during this period.
Meeting God in the Other
The present volume unites 44 studies to honor Prof. Dr. Dorin Oancea, Romanian-Orthodox theologian and religious studies scholar, well known as a bridge-builder between Eastern and Western Christian Traditions. The manifold studies reflect upon the fundaments of interfaith and inter-confessional openness, offer insightful examples from past and present, or point to the loci where this openness can and should be achieved today. A meaningful collection for all those interested in present day ecumenical theology, in inter-confessional studies or theology of religions.
The Discovery of Ottoman Greece
"The Discovery of Ottoman Greece unearths forgotten research by the early modern philhellenist and Lutheran reformer Martin Crusius. His extensive study of Greek Orthodox life, including interviews with traveling alms-seekers, sheds light on European views of Greek decline under Ottoman rule as well as on the global ambitions of Lutheran reform"--
Pentecostalism and Christian Unity, Volume 2
This book is the follow-up volume to Pentecostalism and Christian Unity: Ecumenical Documents and Critical Assessments. The first volume documented the history and ecumenical engagement of Pentecostals during the twentieth century. This new collection traces the ecumenical developments, narratives, and conversations during the first decade of the twenty-first century. The ecumenical community and Pentecostals have consistently lamented the absence of a comprehensive gathering of resources for both groups. This particular volume provides two significant assets in this regard: (1) documentation of new and emerging conversations that have not yet produced official reports, and (2) official repo...
Russisch-orthodoxe Neumärtyrer
Historisch beispiellose Verfolgungen, die in der UdSSR nicht nur das Christentum trafen, dienten als Anstoß, die innere Nähe von Opfer- und Märtyrerbegriffen wissenschaftlich neu zu diskutieren. Der Forschungsansatz widmet sich der Frage nach der Bedeutung von Heiligkeit, wie diese in christlichen Martyrien erlebbar und durch martyrologische Lebensbeschreibungen widergespiegelt wird: Seit den 80er Jahren des 20. Jh.s hat die Russische Orthodoxe Kirche offiziell mit der Rehabilitierung und Kanonisierung jener orthodoxen Gläubigen begonnen, die in sowjetischer Zeit (1917 - 1991) Verfolgungen bis zum Tod erlitten hatten. Die Arbeit spürt nach, ob sich ihr Gedenken in die Geschichte der kirchlichen Kanonisierung fügt. Martyrologische Lebensbeschreibungen dienen offiziell der Anerkennung von Märtyrern. Hagiografien sind Funktionaltexte, die mitteilbar machen, wie göttliche Gnade durch Heilige wirkt. Ob und inwieweit die hier z.T. das erste Mal ins Deutsche übersetzten, neomartyrologischen Denkmäler außerdem auch literarischen Anspruch erheben können, exemplifizieren speziell generierte, narratologische Analysen.
Zukunftsraum Liturgie
Was erwartet die Menschen des 21. Jahrhunderts, wenn sie die Schwelle zur Liturgie überschreiten? Was erwartet die Liturgie, wenn sie von Menschen des 21. Jahrhunderts gefeiert, gestaltet, kommentiert, geliebt oder verabscheut wird? Aktuelle gesellschaftliche und pastorale Veränderungsprozesse stellen die gottesdienstliche Praxis der Kirchen vor neue Herausforderungen. Zugleich zeigen sich heute Aspekte der Liturgiegeschichte, die etwa im Kontext der Liturgiereform des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils noch nicht bekannt waren. Schließlich sind wir mit neuen Formen des symbolischen Handelns konfrontiert, die das Verhältnis zwischen Liturgie und Individuum sowie zwischen Liturgie und Kultur stark beeinflussen. Die Beiträge dieses Buches bieten thematisch breit gefächerte Perspektiven zu gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Fragen des christlichen Gottesdienstes und der Liturgiewissenschaft.
