Theology Out of Place
As a theological biography of Professor Walter J. Hollenweger, this book surveys his extensive interests, varied methods and wide-ranging reflection. But Price also incorporates an enquiry into the nature and function of western academic theology relating to to Christian practice today. Hollenweger's research into Pentecostalism, Ecumenism and Intercultural Theology is here brought together in a synthetic overview. Issues such as the unity and diversity of the Bible and its interpretations, the particular and universal dimensions of worldwide Chrsitianity, and relations between Christians and between Christians and 'the others' are all exploited in order to stimulate fresh thinking on the mission of the churches.
Religion and Canadian Society
This text offers an outstanding selection of readings that represent an overview of the key issues in the sociology of religion from a uniquely Canadian perspective. Masterfully planned and united by clearly articulated themes, the second edition moves through three thematic cornerstones: contexts, identities, and strategies. Recurring sub-themes include the definition of religion, the secularization debate, the challenge of diversity, and the gendered aspects of religious experience. Key additions to this edition include a discussion on cultural diversity, an exploration of religion and sexuality, and a thorough historical overview of religion in Canada.
Religious Experience and Its Transformational Power
The author approaches the phenomenon 'religious experience' through a qualitative study in which young, urban people from Europe and the USA are empirically examined. It becomes clear that individuals themselves are constructive agents of experience and theology. Religious experience manifests itself as a transformative perspective of hope in the lives of young people. The study ends with a plea for a theology from below, based on liberation theology and feminist theories, in which contextual perspectives are central to practical theological theorising.
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.

Papierherstellung im deutschen Südwesten
Die Einführung der Papierherstellung gilt als zentrale Voraussetzung für die Durchsetzung des Papiergebrauchs im spätmittelalterlichen Europa. In weiten Teilen unerforscht ist jedoch, wie sich die Papiermacherei etablierte und wie sich die Papiermacher als Vertreter eines neuen Berufs in die Gesellschaft integrierten. Die Studie untersucht daher den Etablierungsprozess dieses neuen Gewerbes am Beispiel des deutschen Südwestens, der früh erste Papiermühlenreviere im Reich nördlich der Alpen ausbildete. Mit technikhistorischen Aspekten befasst sich der erste Teil. Er beleuchtet die Papierherstellung von der materiellen Seite, indem er danach fragt, welche Spuren in historischen Papieren...
