Understanding and Developing Theological Education
Historically education has been driven from behind – the history, and above – the educational institution. Traditions and adherence requirements have led to inflexible models of school leadership that are focused on administration and rife with educational politics. In contrast, today’s theological landscape needs institutions with a grassroots-driven educational system, looking to a future that is biblically and theologically grounded. This publication, an English translation from the original German focuses on the leadership and curriculum development required for such a paradigm shift. Ott comprehensively assesses trends in current theological education across the world with detailed reference to wider trends in global tertiary education. Written primarily for those in leadership roles at theological schools and training institutions, this handbook is an essential resource for equipping the next generation of leaders in theological education.
Humanity After Selfish Prometheus
Neither any technological development nor any institutional mechanisms (economical, legal, political etc.) can compensate the lack of ethical persons. Reaching sustainable development and life of quality is possible only on the basis of view which is not trapped, flat and reducing, on the basis of an effort, which ca - founded on temperance and humility (in relation to the nature, self, others and (O)other) - (co)create cooperation, higher order synthesis and synergy of the crafts that are the conditio sine qua non of survival, harmonious world and (decent) existence of a human (as a human) in it.

Humanity in God's Image
A study which suggests human beings are created in the image of an invisible God, an idea that can only be conceptualized in the imagination.
World Peace through Christian-Muslim Understanding
The open letter "A Common Word Between Us and You" (Amman, 2007) is a unique example of Christian-Muslim dialogue. The central message behind ACW is that the future of the world depends on peace between Muslims and Christians". ACW aims to achieve political change through theological argumentation. An improvement in Islam-West relations can be indirectly achieved through a focus on improving Christian-Muslim relations. This study investigates the genesis and fruits of ACW, highlighting the importance of a specific historical and sociopolitical "Sitz im Leben" which decisively influenced its form and content."
Jewish Jesus Research and its Challenge to Christology Today
Historical Jesus research, Jewish or Christian, is marked by the search for origins and authenticity. The various Quests for the Historical Jesus contributed to a crisis of identity within Western Christianity. The result was a move “back to the Jewish roots!” For Jewish scholars it was a means to position Jewry within a dominantly Christian culture. As a consequence, Jews now feel more at ease to relate to Jesus as a Jew. For Walter Homolka the Christian challenge now is to formulate a new Christology: between a Christian exclusivism that denies the universality of God, and a pluralism that endangers the specificity of the Christian understanding of God and the uniqueness of religious traditions, including that of Christianity.
Transformationen der Christologie
Seit Immanuel Kants Religionsschrift von 1793 wurden immer wieder philosophische Christologien ausgearbeitet. Hegel und Schelling haben im 19. Jahrhundert prominente Konzeptionen vorgelegt. In den Debatten des 20. Jahrhunderts trat diese Thematik in der Philosophie in den Hintergrund, ohne vollends zu verschwinden. Was unterscheidet eine philosophische Christologie von einer theologischen und welchen Erkenntnisgewinn bringt jene gegenüber dieser? Ohne Christologie kann es keine christliche Dogmatik und keine christliche Religion geben. Sie haben allein durch ihren Bezug auf Jesus Christus Bestand. Mit ihren Darstellungen belegen die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger des Bandes, dass es keine e...
Geschichtstheologie und Eschatologie in der Moderne
Das vorliegende Buch rekonstruiert die Problemgeschichte der Eschatologie und bezieht dabei konsequent sowohl evangelisch- wie katholisch-theologische Traditionslinien mit ein. Dabei zeigt sich, wie aus der traditionellen "Lehre von den letzten Dingen" im Verlaufe der letzten 150 Jahre ein Schlüsseltraktat der gesamten Theologie wurde. Ihr markantes Profil gewinnt diese Studie dadurch, dass es die besondere Nähe der Eschatologie zur Geschichtstheologie aufzeigt.
Zur Anschauung von "Leben" bei Hildegard von Bingen
Das gegenwärtig erst im Aufbau begriffene Untersuchungsfeld einer Theologie des Lebens bedarf einer Erforschung von Marksteinen in der Deutung des Johannesevangeliums. Dabei ist eine grundlegende Erfordernis für eine systematisch-theologische Interpretation des Werkes von Hildegard von Bingen eine dichte Bezugnahme auf die lateinischen Originaltexte. Daher stellt diese Arbeit eine Methodologie für eine vorrangig textimmanente Analyse ausgewählter visiones der Hildegard vor. Dementsprechend werden je vier visiones aus dem Liber Scivias und aus dem Liber Divinorum Operum detailliert nach formalen und stilistischen Kriterien untersucht, um sodann jeweils den theologischen Gehalt der Bildspr...
