Understanding Children's Spirituality
How important is childhood in the spiritual formation of a person? How do children experience God in the context of their lives as they grow? What does God do in the lives of children to draw them to himself and help them grow into a vital relationship with him? How can adults who care about children better support their spiritual growth and direct it toward relationship with God through Jesus Christ? These are critical questions that church leaders face as they consider how best to nurture the faith of the children God brings into our lives. In this book, over two dozen Christian scholars and ministry leaders explore important issues about the spiritual life of children and ways parents, church leaders, and others who care about children can promote their spiritual formation.
Who is my neighbour?
Brian Seatter’s career as a Teacher spans over forty years, but he prefers to think of himself as a Learner whose greatest joy is to discover something new each day. He has been teaching in the Lukas- School in Munich for the past seven years, before which he taught in Dunedin, Tauranga and Rangiora in New Zealand, also serving as principal of schools in the latter two localities. He is also the proud father of six children and ten grandchildren who live in the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. Following the death of his wife Margaret from cancer, he moved to Germany and is now married to Angelika, a proud Bavarian. Together they have escorted several groups of German secondary students for educational trips to New Zealand.
Seeing the unseen
Vision reports occupy large space in the Book of Ezekiel and the texts put special emphasis on the details of receiving a vision. In Thailand, Buddhist monks or Hindu priests also have seen visions. Mediums travel to distant places in visions and meet with spirits. Christian churches set goals for the future and call them visions. This study takes a closer look at visions both in the Book of Ezekiel and in the Thai context by focusing on the Thai translation of Hebrew terms for visions. Besides that, it compares the Hebrew concepts behind visions with the Thai understanding.
"When the Morning Stars Sang"
During a moment of exponential growth and change in the fields of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies, it is an opportune time to take stock of the state wisdom and wisdom literature with twenty-three essays honoring the consummate Weisheitslehrer, Professor Choon Leong Seow, Vanderbilt, Buffington, Cupples Chair in Divinity and Distinguished Professor of Hebrew Bible at Vanderbilt University. This Festschrift is tightly focused around wisdom themes, and all of the essays are written by senior scholars in the field. They represent not only the great diversity of approaches in the field of wisdom and wisdom literature, but also the remarkable range of interests and methods that have characterized Professor Seow's own work throughout the decades, including the theology of the wisdom literature, the social world of Ecclesiastes, the history of consequences of the book of Job, the poetry of the Psalms, and Northwest Semitic Inscriptions, just to name a few.
Deathless Hopes
Questions of eternal life and a revolution of the human condition have been a continuing theme in many religions, notably in the Abrahamic faiths. In one way or another, "deathless hopes" continue to play a prominent role in today's public discourses. To understand the current significance of the issue, a thorough grasp of historical dynamics is required. This volume gives a representative overview of prominent traditions in the Hebrew Bible, Jewish Studies, contemporary ethics, theology, and anthropology, but also evaluates common questions afresh, suggesting new perspectives.
Drawing and Transcending Boundaries in the New Testament and Early Christianity
The construction of early Christian identity was a dynamic process in which social boundaries were drawn but also transcended. The source documents of Christianity bear witness to the process and dynamics involved in the construction of insiders and outsiders - determining who is to be included and who excluded. In the super-diverse and super-mobile time in which we live, identity boundaries are often drawn. This volume explores not only New Testament and Early Christian texts to investigate these dynamics, but also how contemporary ideology can shape the reading of scripture to exclude or include others.
Nomos and Violence
The present volume is concerned with the problem of violence as reflected in the biblical texts, in their reception and interpretation. The expression `nomos' in the title of the book is understood in a broader sense, with reference to the concept of nomos as a `world of right and wrong' (Robert Cover). Therefore, the authors of the book are concerned not only with the legal texts of the Pentateuch, but also with other parts of the Old Testament / Tanak. Most of the contributors explore the theme of violence by interpreting specific narrative, legal, prophetic, and sapiential passages. Others attempt to offer a more general theological evaluation of violence in the Bible, also with constant reference to the biblical texts.
Bibel – Didaktik – Unterricht
Biblische Texte lesen, verstehen, auslegen und für den Unterricht aufbereiten: Das ist Kunst und Wissenschaft zugleich. Das Theologenehepaar Peter Müller und Anita Müller-Friese hat sich mit je eigenen Schwerpunktsetzungen Fragen der Exegese, Hermeneutik, Bibeldidaktik und Religionspädagogik gewidmet. Der Band greift diese Perspektiven in Internationalen, kontextuellen und konfessionellen Dimensionen auf. Seine Autorinnen und Autoren haben Berufs- und Lebenswege von Peter Müller und Anita Müller-Friese begleitet oder sie waren deren Schülerin oder Schüler bzw. Kollegin oder Kollege. Alle eint ein Ringen um Fragen religiöser Bildung. Der Buchtitel nennt die drei Dimensionen, in denen dies geschieht: Bibel, Didaktik, Unterricht. In exegetischer Sicht wird der Blick auf v. a. neutestamentliche Texte und Themen gerichtet, in didaktischer Sicht werden biblische Texte befragt und aus religionspädagogischer Perspektive werden gegenwartsbezogene Fragen an Religionsunterricht und –didaktik formuliert und verhandelt.
Todesvorstellungen und christliche Auferstehungshoffnung im Blickfeld der Jugendtheologie
Die Dissertation setzt sich mit Vorstellungen von Sterben und Tod bei Jugendlichen auseinander sowie der Frage, inwiefern der christliche Glaube an die Auferstehung in den Denkweisen der Jugendlichen vorkommt. Dafür wird der Tod zunächst aus anthropologischer, soziologischer, medizinischer, bildungstheoretischer, theologischer und religionspädagogischer Sicht betrachtet und in den interdisziplinären thanatologischen Diskurs eingeordnet. Die empirischen Erkundungen fanden im Religionsunterricht einer 9. Klasse statt. Im Zentrum des Interesses steht dabei, inwiefern sich die verschiedenen Dimensionen des Theologisierens im Unterricht verzahnen. Die Daten werden anhand der Grounded Theory a...
