Rethinking Christian Identity
RETHINKING CHRISTIAN IDENTITY “A brilliant, compelling, agenda-setting book ... Volpe has written this thoughtful, passionate, informed critique that invites us all to think through precisely what is involved in being formed in the Christian tradition.” Ian Markham, Virginia Theological Seminary “A model for those of us who seek to combine the vocations of academic theology and pastoral ministry, Rethinking Christian Identity offers a compelling vision of Christian formation. Volpe deftly shapes her vision in conversation with contemporary theologians and voices from the history of the Church ... combining erudition with a passion for Christian discipleship.” Kathryn Greene-McCreight...
Holistic Education Resource Book

Religionspädagogische Ökumenik
Die Weitergabe und Aneignung christlicher Religion geschieht auf vielerlei Weise - nicht zuletzt durch Lehren und Lernen. Den Impuls dazu hat das Christentum durch Jesus den Lehrer aus den Gepflogenheiten des Judentums der Antike erhalten. Vor diesem Hintergrund unternimmt Bernd Schröder - erstmals - eine religionspädagogische "Weltreise" durch ausgewählte Länder und Konfessionskulturen der Gegenwart. Er skizziert so die Vielfalt der Lernkulturen unter dem Dach des weltweiten polyzentrischen Christentums. Sichtbar werden Handlungsformate und Lernorte von der Sonntagsschule bis zur Liturgie, von der christlichen Pfadfinder-Bewegung bis zur Basisgemeinde. Erkennbar werden unterschiedliche Begründungsmuster und Leitbilder von Bildung im Zeichen christlicher Religion. Die tour d'horizon bestätigt, dass Lehren und Lernen vielerorts eine enorme Rolle spielt. Allerdings kann keineswegs das gesamte Christentum unbesehen als Bildungsreligion gelten.
The Religious Dimension of Intercultural Education
This book explores the religious dimension in intercultural education and states that religion plays a key role in value conflicts and worldview differences in schools in pluralistic societies. Religion is considered having a double role, both as the reason for deep differences in mental mapping and worldviews and as a contributor to intercultural understanding and dialogue. The book discusses the role religion has in education both at an institutional level, in the whole school society, and in Religious Education as a specific school subject. Underlying Western worldviews in subject curricula and subject didactics need to be revealed and contested to increase the benefit of education for all students. It argues for the need of a contextual understanding to help teaching and learning address religious diversity in schools.

Theophilus of Alexandria and the First Origenist Controversy
In the age of the Theodosian dynasty and the establishment of Christianity as the only legitimate religion of the Roman Empire, few figures are more pivotal in the power politics of the Christian church than archbishop Theophilus of Alexandria (385-412). This work examines the involvement of archbishop Theophilus in the so-called First Origenist Controversy when the famed third-century Greek theologian Origen received, a century and a half after his death, a formal condemnation for heresy. Modern scholars have been successful in removing the majority of the charges which Theophilus laid on Origen as not giving a fair representation of his thought. Yet no sufficient explanation has been offer...
