Religionen inklusiv
Mit der Konvention über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen der Vereinten Nationen aus dem Jahre 2006 ist der Begriff der Inklusion Bestandteil der Allgemeinen Menschenrechte geworden. Entsprechend ist in allen menschlichen Lebensbereichen für Inklusion zu sorgen. Dies gilt auch für Religionen. Disability Studies stehen als Wissenschaftsansatz per se für den Anspruch der Inklusion. Im Buch wird das Religiöse im Kontext von Disability Studies thematisiert. Mithin wird die zugrundeliegende Motivation dargelegt. Begründet werden Anfrage und Aufforderung: Inclusive Religions?!
Ordained Ministry in Free Church Perspective
In Ordained Ministry in Free Church Perspective Jan Martijn Abrahamse presents a constructive theology of ordained ministry by returning to the life and thought of the English Separatist Robert Browne (c. 1550-1633). This study makes a substantial contribution not only by solving one of the most thorny problems in congregational ecclesiology, but also by recovering the legacy of this ecclesial pioneer. Through an in-depth analysis of Browne’s literature, the author provides a covenantal theology of ordained ministry in conversation with present-day authors Stanley Hauerwas and Kevin Vanhoozer. Inspired by the emerging trend of ‘theology of retrieval’ Abrahamse offers a methodologically innovative way of doing systematic theology in a manner in which voices from the past can be made fruitful for today.
"Ich bin bereit!"
Durch das 2. Vatikanische Konzil wurde der Ständige Diakonat wieder in der katholischen Kirche eingeführt. Nach der Ausbildung übt die Mehrzahl der in der Regel verheirateten Diakone ihr Amt zusammen mit einem Zivilberuf aus. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Anforderungen an die Ausbildung auf dem Hintergrund einer sich massiv transformierenden Kirche und Gesellschaft. Dazu wurden Interviews mit Diakonen erwachsenenpädagogisch und theologisch ausgewertet sowie die Grundpfeiler einer Theologie des Diakonats diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse geben der Ausbildung wertvolle Impulse.
Civil Disobedience and the German Courts
The book is the first full-length English language treatment of the civil disobedience of the West German Peace Movement in the 1980s and the resulting trials of some of its members in the German Constitutional Court. The book uses these events and critical cases to analyze the German Constitutional Court as a crucial institution of government, and it also places the outcomes of the cases at an important turning-point in German constitutional history.
Arendt's Solidarity
Hannah Arendt's work inspires many to stand in solidarity against authoritarianism, racial or gender-based violence, climate change, and right-wing populism. But what if a careful analysis of her oeuvre reveals a darker side to this intellectual legacy? What if solidarity, as she conceives of it, is not oriented toward equality, freedom, or justice for all, but creates a barrier to intersectional coalition building? In Arendt's Solidarity, David D. Kim illuminates Arendt's lifelong struggle with this deceptively straightforward yet divisive concept. Drawing upon her publications, unpublished documents, private letters, radio and television interviews, newspaper clippings, and archival margin...

Terror and Democracy in West Germany
In 1970, the Red Army Faction declared war on West Germany. The militants failed to bring down the state, but this book argues that the decade-long debate they inspired helped shape a new era. After 1945, West Germans answered long-standing doubts about democracy's viability and fears of authoritarian state power with a 'militant democracy' empowered against its enemies and a popular commitment to anti-fascist resistance. In the 1970s, these postwar solutions brought Germans into open conflict, fighting to protect democracy from both terrorism and state overreaction. Drawing on diverse sources, Karrin Hanshew shows how Germans, faced with a state of emergency and haunted by their own history, managed to learn from the past and defuse this adversarial dynamic. This negotiation of terror helped them to accept the Federal Republic of Germany as a stable, reformable polity and to reconceive of democracy's defence as part of everyday politics.
