The Gospel after Christendom
Emerging and missional church movements are an increasingly global phenomenon; they exist as holistic communities that defy dualistic Western forms of church. Until now, many of the voices from these movements have gone unheard. In this volume, Ryan Bolger assembles some of the most innovative church leaders from around the world to share their candid insider stories about how God is transforming their communities in an entirely new era for the church. Bolger's new book continues the themes that he and Eddie Gibbs established formally in their critically acclaimed Emerging Churches and situates new church movements within this rubric. It explores what's happening now in innovative church movements in continental Europe, Asia, and Latin American and in African American hip-hop cultures. Featuring an international cast of contributors, the book explores the changes occurring both in emerging cultures and in emerging and missional churches across the globe today.
Can the West Be Converted?
Rather than reconsidering contemporary culture in light of secularization, much of the western church operates with a degree of nostalgia. She has yet to fully embrace prospective, innovative models for what form her task might take in some of Christianity’s historic heartlands. Amidst rapidly declining church membership, contextualizing the Gospel for the contemporary West is an urgent task for churches and Christians living in this context. This book seeks an interdisciplinary, international, and ecumenical response to this challenge, uniting historical, sociological, theological, and missiological perspectives. Benefiting from recent studies in sociology of religion, Dr. Gantenbein offe...
Walking With Ghosts
'Destined to be a classic' Sunday Independent 'Gabriel Byrne tells his story brilliantly' - Edna O'Brien 'Dazzles with unflinching honesty' Washington Post 'An absolutely marvellous book' - Colm Tóibín Born to working-class parents and the eldest of six children, Gabriel Byrne harboured a childhood desire to become a priest. Four years later, Byrne had been expelled from an English seminary and he quickly returned to his native Dublin. There he took odd jobs as a messenger boy and a factory labourer to get by. In his spare time he visited the cinema, where he could be alone and yet part of a crowd. It was here that he could begin to imagine a life beyond the grey world of ’60s Ireland. It was a friend who suggested Byrne join an amateur drama group, a decision that would change his life forever and launch him on an extraordinary forty-year career in film and theatre. Moving between sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and reflections on stardom in Hollywood and on Broadway, often through the lens of addiction. Hilarious and heartbreaking Walking With Ghosts is a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that ultimately shape our destinies.
Just Do It?!
Warum feiern die verschiedenen christlichen Kirchen das Abendmahl immer noch getrennt? In der Auseinandersetzung um diese Grundfrage des ökumenischen Dialogs spielen immer wieder zwei Begriffe eine wichtige Rolle: (gegenseitige) Anerkennung und Rezeption (Aufnahme/Annahme). Es geht letztlich um die Anerkennung der jeweils anderen Kirchen als Ausdruck oder Form der einen Kirche Jesu Christi. Diese ist aber nur möglich, wenn alle beteiligten Seiten sich in einem Rezeptionsprozess die gemeinsam formulierten Einsichten zu eigen machen. Der Band dokumentiert die Vorträge der 19. Wissenschaftlichen Konsultation der Societas Oecumenica (Europäische Gesellschaft für ökumenische Forschung), die...
Berthe Morisot
Of the six Impressionist painters whose first exhibition scandalized and fascinated Paris in 1874, Berthe Morisot was the only woman. She reached a pinnacle of artistic achievement despite the restraints society placed on her sex, adroitly combining her artistic ambitions with a rewarding family life. Anne Higonnet brings fully to life an accomplished artist and her world.

Evangéliser
Le thème de l'évangélisation n'avait encore jamais été abordé dans les milieux universitaires francophones. Comment redynamiser des communautés vieillissantes et affaiblies, tout en restant fidèle aux éléments centraux, issus de la théologie et de l'ecclésiologie d'un christianisme deux fois millénaire ? Des exemples montrent que, même dans les Eglises historiques un renouveau est possible. A condition toutefois que ce mouvement soit pensé théologiquement, accompagné humainement, évalué stratégiquement. Les contributions de ce recueil sont marquées par la volonté de faire se croiser expériences de terrain, réflexions théologiques et suggestions pratiques. Elles rassemblent et étudient les nombreuses publications parues sur ce thème ces dernières années, dans différents pays européens. Ont écrit dans cette publication les universitaires et spécialistes des questions d'évangélisation : Enzo Biemmi (Vérone), Andy Buckler (Paris), Jérôme Cottin (Strasbourg), Christian Grappe (Strasbourg), Etienne Grieu (Paris), Gabriel Monet (Collonges/Salève), Elisabeth Parmentier (Strasbourg).
The Decline of Established Christianity in the Western World
While Church attendance in the West is often cited as being in decline, it is argued that this applies primarily to the older established forms of Christianity. Other expressions of the faith are, in fact, stable or even growing. This volume provides multidisciplinary interpretations of and responses to one of the most complicated and controversial issues regarding the global transformation of Christianity today: the decline of "established Christianity" in the Western world. It also addresses the future of Christianity in the West after the decline. Drawing upon historical research, sociology, religious studies, philosophy and theology, an international panel of contributors provide new the...
Tiere vor der Kamera
Das Grundverhältnis von Menschen zu Tieren war lange vor allem eines der Gewalt. Artensterben, Jagd, Schlachthäuser und Zoos dokumentieren einen fatalen Gleichmut. Doch lassen sich nach dem 'animal turn' vermehrt auch andere Imaginationen in Film, Kunst und Literatur aufspüren? Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen erscheinen in literarischen, bildkünstlerischen und seit dem 20. Jahrhundert auch filmischen Darstellungen von der Grundidee einer profunden Heterogenität, oft sogar Feindseligkeit geprägt, gelegentlich auch verkitscht zu rührseligen Geschichten über Tiere als treue Begleiter. Der sogenannte critical animal turn hat das Nachdenken über Tiere neu orientiert und den anthropologischen Hoc...
