Protecting People - and Losing Just Peace?
Taking up the international ecumenical debate on 'just peace' and the international responsibility to protect, this volume discusses the relation between the two concepts. It examines such questions as: How does responsibility to protect influence the paradigm of just peace? How can the core idea of prevention be implemented in view of real needs to protect? Can criteria be developed to reflect just peace as a model for Christian peace ethics? Can these criteria also include military intervention as a last resort?

Remembering the Dead
Remembering the dead is a topic which connects various cultures and traditions. The reception of the African tradition of ancestorship is a theological enrichment in the ecumenical discussions all over the world. In our time, the exchange of gifts plays a great role in promoting unity of the Churches. Especially the concepts of African theology with the incomparable special position of Jesus Christ as "proto ancestor" are important for the interconfessional dialogues. The veneration of the ancestors in Africa can be a help to begin ecumenical discussions in this regional context on the question of the veneration of the saints. According to African tradition the ancestors also have influence on the process of purification. Therefore, the veneration of the ancestors contributes to providing answers to the ecumenical controversies about the understanding of the eschatological purification.

Public Theology in Korea?
Public Theology is one of the most important topics in the field of theology across the world but not in Korea. There are several historical and theological reasons for this indifference of Korean Reformed Christianity as the mainstream in Korea. In order to dispel doubts of Korean Reformed Christianity to the public theological approaches it is necessary to demonstrates a coherence between some characteristics of public theology and Reformed theology. This study analyses and utilises the six characteristics of public theology presented by Heinrich Bedford-Strohm as a lens to engage aspects of John Calvin's theology and the period of the Reformation in Geneva. Based on this work, the author re-examines the history of Korean Christianity with a public theological point of view and asserts the justification for Korean Reformed Christianity to actively embrace public theological approaches.
A Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace
This edited volume includes contributions by scholars, ministers, artists, and NGO workers from around the world who are interested in topics of Mennonitism, peacebuilding, and theologies of nonviolence.

The Present "Just Peace/Just War" Debate
At first the end of the "Cold War" seemed to mark a period of relative rest. However, it became apparent that we have not reached the "end of history". As a matter of fact, the world is confronted by new political constellations of so far unknown martial intensity. Although, Muslim terrorism and the revival of tribalism and nationalism are closely connected. At the same time, the international community proves mostly powerless, as a result of the cooling relationship between East and West. These developments offer challenging questions for Western societies. Both in Germany and in the Anglo-Saxon world, debates on the concepts of Just peace/ Just war have intensified, but mutual engagement b...
Die Fliehkraft und die Schwerkraft Gottes
In Zusammenhang mit dem hier vorliegenden Abriss einer inter-religiösen Kirchen-Geschichte (Bände Eins bis Vier) einige biographische Skizzen von Gläubigen, denen die Pluralität der Religionen zum theologischen Haupt-Problem ihres Lebens geworden ist.

Die internationale Schutzverantwortung im Lichte des gerechten Friedens
Die internationale Schutzverantwortung ist begleitet von kontroversen politischen und ethischen Debatten. Während Befürworter dieses Konzeptes die Aufwertung individueller Menschenrechte in Anschlag bringen, befürchten Kritiker eine weitere Aushöhlung des Interventions- und Gewaltverbots. Mit der im Namen der Responsibility to Protect beschlossenen Libyen-Resolution von 2011 scheinen sich diese Vorbehalte noch verfestigt zu haben. Dabei liegt die originäre Intention des Konzeptes in der Gewaltprävention. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes diskutieren, inwieweit es im Rahmen der Schutzverantwortung möglich ist, Geist, Logik und Praxis des Krieges zu überwinden. Kann sie als Anhaltspunkt für eine Ethik des gerechten Friedens dienen oder ist eher zu konstatieren: „Menschen geschützt – gerechten Frieden verloren“?
