Der (un)vollkommene Mensch
Unser Ansatz einer Crossover-Theologie knüpft an das Konzept von Intersektionalität an, nimmt aber insbesondere die Befähigungen und Begabungen des Menschen in den Blick. Die sich überkreuzenden Denkbewegungen – wie etwa die der Gender, Dis/ability und Postcolonial Studies – entwickeln sich nicht einfach linear, sondern vernetzen sich und ermöglichen so neue Perspektiven. In Analogie zum Begriff Crossover in der Musik für die Mischung verschiedener Genres und Stile erhoffen wir uns durch solche experimentellen Zugänge überraschende, neue theologisch-anthropologische „Klangerlebnisse“.
La Querella de las mujeres
El estudio del peso de la religión y más específicamente de la Biblia en los contenidos de la polémica de los sexos constituye un importante filón de análisis escasamente abordado por la historiografía dedicada a la Querella de las mujeres. Este importante hilo temático tampoco ha sido abodardo en su amplitud desde la tradición de los estudios bíblicos y la teología feminista. El corpus de escritos que aquí se presenta asienta importantes bases de estudio sobre las temáticas, los argumentos, los contextos y las distintas constelaciones socioculturales que ofreció la materia bíblica en el debate sobre los sexos y la condición femenina. Nos constatan el peso de los relatos fundamentales de la creación y de la redención humana en la Querella, y también los diversos usos y apelaciones que se hicieron de las diversas figuras y citas bíblicas. El activismo de las mujeres en la elaboración de respuestas está fuera de dudas. Ahora su recuperación para la historia del pensamiento universal nos ofrece nuevas herramientas de profundización.
From a Virgin Womb
Utilising parallels from the Apocalypse of Adam and elsewhere, this book re-examines Mt.'s infancy narratives in the light of the apocalyptic and mythological background to the virgin birth. Jesus is shown as the fulfilment of universalistic hopes though not as Son of God. Mt.'s special tradition in relation to Lk. is thereby cast in a new light.
Introducation to Mariology
In Introduction to Mariology, Fr. Manfred Hauke provides a synthesis of Mariology and the biblical fundaments and development of Marian doctrine. While it works as a comprehensive introduction suitable for courses on the subject, it is in reality a panoramic view on the entire Marian doctrine, and as such will be essential for the theological formation of seminarians, priests, theologians, and all kinds of educated Catholics. With an unparalleled bibliographic citation of Marian literature across a dozen languages, it is also a perfect gateway to further research on the subject. It begins with Biblical doctrine, which is important especially for the dialogue with Protestant denominations: Ca...
Chosen Among Women
Historical analysis combines with the tools of gender studies and religious studies to compare the roles of the Virgin Mary in medieval Christianity with those of Fatima, daughter of the prophet Muhammad, in Shi`ite Islam.
The Last Secret of Fatima
With an introduction by Pope Benedict XVI and including information previously suppressed, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone, definitively reveals and explains one of the most controversial events in twentieth-century Catholicism—the 1917 apparition of the Virgin Mary at Fatima. During World War I, three Portuguese children received a vision in which Mary, the Mother of Jesus, foretold great global turmoil. The first part of their vision—warnings about World War II, communism, and the spread of atheism—were widely publicized, but Vatican officials were hesitant to reveal the vision’s concluding images, thus creating the "secret" of Fatima. Speculation about this se...
Pilgrimage in Medieval England
Diana Webbexamines many pilgrimages and cults, and their rise and fall over the English middle ages.
Religious Propaganda and Missionary Competition in the New Testament World
Religious Propaganda is a pivotal concept for the Hellenistic and Roman epochs in the History of Religions. The term refers to the various competing religious and philosophical movements and currents during those periods. Renowned scholars (H. Attridge, K. Baltzer, J. Collins, A. Dewey, H. Koester, A.T. Kraabel, D. Lührmann, J. Robinson, W. Schottroff, E. Schüssler Fiorenza, A. Yarbro Collins and others) interpret Pagan, Jewish, and Christian sources with a view toward elucidating the confrontation of Jewish and Christian groups with their respective social, economic, religious, and political contexts. The authors seek to demonstrate the significance of missionary and propagandistic themes as well as strategies for the self-understanding of Jews and Christians at the turn of the eras. The articles, 25 in all, draw upon the broad expanse of scholarly work in the History of Religions pertaining to this period: the authors discuss methodology and the state of research, and they forge ahead in the exploration of the intertestamental and New Testament writings.
Mine and Yours are Hers
This book discusses the interaction between history, rabbinic literature and feminist studies. Recent approaches to rabbinic literature have overturned the traditional view of these writings and new literary methods were suggested, mostly denying them all historical value. But rabbinic literature constitutes the main source for the lives of Jews in Palestine and Babylonia during the late Roman period, and thus should not be totally rejected. This study suggests a new post-literary approach, i.e. it discusses the residue of the texts after these have been analyzed and dissected by literary critics. But mainly this is a book about women's history, adopting many assumptions of feminist criticism about the androcentric nature of all ancient texts, and approaches them with due suspicion. The Rabbis treated women differently from the way they treated men. This resulted in the former's marginalization and manipulation by the texts. On the other hand, however, it created an ironic situation whereby principles useful for the recovery of historical information on women, are useless when applied to men. This study describes such principles and demonstrates them with the help of many examples.
Beyond Priesthood
The last decade has seen a surge of scholarly interest in these religious professionals and a good number of high quality publications. Our volume, however, with its unique intercultural character and its explicit focus on appropriation and contestation of religious expertise in the Imperial Era is substantially different. Unlike the rather narrow focus of earlier studies of civic priests, the papers presented here examine a wider range of religious professionals, their dynamic interaction with established religious authorities and institutions, and their contributions to religious innovation in the ancient Mediterranean world, from the late Hellenistic period through to Late Antiquity, from...
