Church leaders and those who endeavor to plant new churches in Europe today face tremendous challenges, not least because the church itself is considered by many to be outdated, irrelevant, or even an abusive sect. Drawing on a wealth of experience, Church Planting in Europe helps to answer the question of how churches can become more relevant to the societies in which they exist. From biblical and missiological reflections to case studies and practical examples, the book gives insights into many of the key issues that church planters and those concerned with "missionary" renewal of existing churches are grappling with. Special attention is paid to the sociocultural and religious characteris...
Over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, mathematics and physics have developed from a discipline tainted with intuition and metaphysics into a scientifically rigorous discipline. In contrast, ideas about fundamental topics of the Christian faith - such as God, the truth of the Bible, the relationship between faith and science, the meaning of life, the question of theodicy - are often based on outdated world views and systems of thought as well as unproven hypotheses and imprecise definitions. The book provides important arguments on the truth of the Bible and leads to a deeper access to basic concepts of theology and to a strengthening of the Christian faith.
In the second edition of this book, the concept of resource-based sustainability has once again been expanded to include further references to modern management theories. The author shows that overcoming the dilemmas that sustainability creates for companies and all organizations leads to more complex decisions that also require higher levels of awareness. The concept of sustainable leadership is closely related to the resource approach. Finally, readers will learn how to tell a compelling transformation narrative toward sustainability.
"The ecological movement discovered that 'nature' prescribes for us a moderation that we cannot ignore with impunity. Unfortunately, 'human ecology' has still not been made concrete. A human being, too, has a ‘nature’ that is prescribed for him, and violating or denying it leads to self-destruction." — Benedict XVI, from the preface This collection of selected works is Benedict XVI's heartfelt call for Europe to rediscover its true origin and identity, in order to become once again a beacon of beauty and humanity for the world. Such a revival would be not simply about imposing the truths of faith as the foundation of Europe, but about making a fundamental choice for justice: to live as...

Den überkonfessionellen und weltweiten Trend der Praise-and-Worship-Music greift der Theologe Andreas Scheuermann in dieser wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung auf und zeigt Chancen und auch Gefahren. Lobpreis und Anbetung in Form der Praise-and-Worship-Music wird in vielen, besonders freikirchlichen oder evangelikalen Gottesdiensten, zur dominierenden Musik- und Gebetsform und etabliert sich auch in landeskirchlichen Gemeinden immer häufiger. Trotzdem gibt es im deutschen Sprachraum bisher noch keine praktisch-theologische Erforschung dieses kirchenmusikalischen Phänomens. Andreas Scheuermann untersucht die Bedeutung, das Potenzial und die Grenzen von Lobpreismusik insbesondere im Gottesdien...
Misusing Scripture offers a thorough and critical evaluation of American evangelical scholarship on the Bible. This strand of scholarship exerts enormous influence on the religious beliefs and practices, and even cultural and political perspectives, of millions of evangelical Christians in the United States and worldwide. The book brings together a diverse array of authors with expertise on the Bible, religion, history, and archaeology to critique the nature and growth of "faith-based" biblical scholarship. The chapters focus on inerrancy and textual criticism, archaeology and history, and the Bible in its ancient and contemporary contexts. They explore how evangelicals approach the Bible in...
"The characteristics of possession are numerous and vary between different socio-cultural and historical contexts. Different ideas of possession can be observed within different cultural and social contexts both past and present. This makes defining possession all the more difficult. Various approaches to "ideas of possession" in different academic disciplines and in different cultural contexts allow the discourse(s) to benefit from insights that would otherwise remain confined to the society under discussion or the field that determines the method of study. The introduction presents an overview of recent interdisciplinary research on possession and scholarly attempts at a working definition, followed by a brief outline of the individual case studies in this volume"--
