Tolerance
Tolerance: Human Fragility and the Quest for Justice: Sheds new light on the liberal democratic values of toleration, taking into account the fragility of human moral ventures in general - within and beyond the Western liberal tradition; Broadly considers the limits of tolerance as they have stemmed from sincere efforts to define justice in a secular or a postsecular manner, together with its related rights, responsibilities, and virtues; Clarifies various forms of response to human needs as connected to the condition of human fragility as well as the persistent quest for justice.

State without Religion?
In recent decades, the Netherlands and Flanders have faced challenges in how to deal with a multicultural society. As far as worldviews are concerned, the question arises whether the state should guarantee a maximum level of choice concerning religion and humanism to individuals or leave a free space to the religious and humanist communities. This study explores in how far committed Catholic, Protestant, Muslim and humanist youth agree with different models of the relationship between worldviews and the state against the backdrop of their religious and humanist beliefs, as well as social determinants. It does so by drawing on quantitative and qualitative empirical research. The analyses show...

Representation and Ultimacy
Jan-Olav Henriksen investigates the close relationship between God and human beings via an understanding of religion as clusters of practices that relate humans to ultimacy by different types of representation. Christian religion articulates its belief in God as creator (manifest in the power to be) and redeemer (represented in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Christ thus is the primary representation of God as the ultimate reality of love. He is also the true image of God, and the model for how humans are also called to represent God in love. The human features of desire and vulnerability, as these express elements that shape, form, and articulate challenges for human life, present humans with the need for orienting themselves, and for different types of transformation. Christian religion articulates a specific mode of how to cope with these challenges presented by desire and vulnerability: by living in love. Against this backdrop, Henriksen argues that neither how one understands religion, God, nor how to live a life that relates to ultimacy, can be tasks fulfilled as long as history goes on.
THE GOSPEL OF JOHN Original Version - Volume I
The only narrative about Jesus by eyewitnesses, this is also one of the world's greatest literary works. The unfinished text was spirited off to Sinope when the author was sent into exile. Even there the hand of Rome nearly destroyed it. Rescued 35 years later, the author's spiritual heirs published it. While in Sinope some pages got lost or disordered. After publication various editors changed the manuscript repeatedly to suit the changing doctrines of early Christianity, even adding spurious new material. Thus the standard text is an inspiring mess, but still a mess. This translation restores not the unfinished original text, but the masterpiece the author sought to compose: a first-hand account of a real man sent to urge humanity to accept God's will, set down before doctrine repackaged him as an incarnate deity. Volume One contains the carefully restored text and a history of the gospel. Volume Two includes commentaries that burnish this masterpiece for the modern reader.

Wendepunkte in der Ethik
Der Band macht Anstöße zur Neuorientierung theologischer Ethik aus der anglo-amerikanischen Diskussion erstmals in deutschen Übersetzungen zugänglich.

Mit Beiträgen von (u. a.) Stanley Hauerwas, Alasdair MacIntyre, John Milbank und Rowan Williams, sowie einer forschungsgeschichtlichen Einleitung des Herausgebers.
Religionsgewalt in politischen Räumen
In Religionsgewalt sind wiederkehrende Muster wirksam unabhängig von Epoche, Religion und Kultur. Sie durchziehen die politischen Räume von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart. Humanwissenschaftliche Einsichten helfen, die Zusammenhänge ihrer Entstehung seit alter Vergangenheit zu erhellen und die Wirkung ihrer Motive bis in die politischen Konflikte der Gegenwart zu begreifen. Struktur und Dynamik von Religionsgewalt in ihrer wechselnden Gestalt zu erkennen und zu verstehen ist die Voraussetzung zur Überwindung religiös überhöhten Machtanspruchs und daraus folgender Gewaltanwendung. Zugleich werden die grundlegenden Bedingungen nachhaltigen Friedens sichtbar.
