North-South Knowledge Networks Towards Equitable Collaboration Between
Since the 1990s, internationalisation has become key for institutions wishing to secure funding for higher education and research. For the academic community, this strategic shift has had many consequences. Priorities have changed and been influenced by new ways of thinking about universities, and of measuring their impact in relation to each other and to their social goals. Debates are ongoing and hotly contested. In this collection, a mix of renowned academics and newer voices reflect on some of the realities of international research partnerships. They both question and highlight the agency of academics, donors and research institutions in the geopolitics of knowledge and power. The contr...
Hildegard of Bingen
Best known today as a fine composer, the twelfth-century German abbess Hildegard of Bingen was also a religious leader and visionary, a poet, naturalist and writer of medical treatises. Despite her cloistered life she had strong, often controversial views on sex, love and marriage too - a woman astonishing in her own age, whose book of apocalyptic visions, Scivias, would alone have been enough to ensure her lasting fame. In this classic and highly praised biography - first published by Headline in 2001 - distinguished writer and journalist, Fiona Maddocks, draws on Hildegard's prolific writings to paint a portrait of her extraordinary life against the turbulent medieval background of crusade and schism, scientific discovery and cultural revolution. The great intellectual gifts and forceful character that emerge make her as fascinating as any figure in the Middle Ages. More than 800 years after her death, Pope Benedict XVI has made Hildegard a Saint and a Doctor of the Church (one of only four women). Fiona Maddocks has provided a short new preface to cover these tributes to an extraordinary and exceptional woman.
A Companion to Hildegard of Bingen
This volume provides an introduction to Hildegard and her works, with a focus on the historical, literary, and religious context of the seer’s writings and music. Its essays explore the cultural milieu that informs Hildegard’s life and various compositions, and examine understudied aspects of the magistra’s oeuvre, such as the interconnections among her works. A Companion to Hildegard of Bingen builds on earlier studies and presents to an English-speaking audience various facets of the seer’s historical persona and her cultural significance, so that the reader can grasp and appreciate the scope of the unparalleled life and contributions of Hildegard, who was declared to be a saint and a doctor of the Church in 2012. Contributors include: Michael Embach, Margot E. Fassler, Franz J. Felten, George Ferzoco, William T. Flynn, Felix Heinzer, Beverly Mayne Kienzle, Tova Leigh-Choate, Constant J. Mews, Susanne Ruge, Travis A. Stevens, Debra L. Stoudt, and Justin A. Stover.
Fostering Christian Faith in Schools and Christian Communities Through Igbo Traditional Values
Religious education in Nigeria is in a state of transformation, owing to the country's current pluralist nature among other factors. In the process, concepts of religion and education are revisited and reassessed in order to make them meaningful to mankind in his pluralist world. With this book, author Michael Okoh inaugurates a fundamental revision. He brings traditional African education and values alongside Christian ideals into dialogue with the "Western progressive learning approaches," paving new ways for religious education activity in Nigeria, particularly in Igboland.

Katholisches Medienhandbuch
Der rasante Medienwandel stellt die katholische Kirche und ihren Kommunikationsauftrag vor enorme Herausforderungen. Wie kann sich Kirche in einer durch Medien bestimmten Gesellschaft noch Gehör verschaffen? Sind Kirche und Medien überhaupt kompatibel? Und wie gelingt ihr der Spagat zwischen ihrer Aufgabe authentisch zu verkündigen und sich zugleich an die Eigenlogik der Medien anpassen zu müssen? Kirche wird sich den Veränderungen stellen müssen, auch weil traditionell kirchliche Medien ihre Adressaten und so ihre Bedeutung zunehmend verlieren werden. Im vorliegenden Handbuch geben über vierzig Autoren, alles renommierte Fachleute, einen umfassenden Überblick über den "Medien-Player" Katholische Kirche und diskutieren theologische und inhaltliche Herausforderungen einer säkularisierten Mediengesellschaft. Herausgeber ist der Vorsitzende der Medienkommission der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz und Bischof von Rottenburg - Stuttgart, Gebhard Fürst. Inhaltlich wurde das Medienhandbuch von zwei ausgewiesenen Kennern der katholischen Medienarbeit, David Hober und Jürgen Holtkamp zusammengestellt.

Machtmissbrauch und Gewalt – religiöse Versuchung und Versagen der Kirche
"Bei euch soll es nicht so sein" verlangt Jesus (Lk 22,28) – nicht so wie bei denen, die andere klein machen und benutzen, um selbst groß zu sein. Tatsächlich ist die Kirche in vieler Hinsicht weit davon entfernt, die "Kontrastgesellschaft" zu sein, die Jesus sich gewünscht hat und für die er Vorbild ist. Die Aufdeckung von sexuellem Missbrauch und seiner Vertuschung über Jahrzehnte hin hat zu einer sensibleren und be-wussteren Wahrnehmung von Machtmissbrauch in der Kirche beigetragen. Stichworte sind Klerikalismus und Intransparenz, die Verschleppung der "Frauenfrage" oder übergriffige Prak-tiken in Seelsorge und geistlicher Begleitung von Menschen. Der vorliegende Band versammelt die Vorträge des Kontaktstudiums der Theologischen Fa-kultät Fulda 2020, erweitert durch Beiträge anderer Experten, und leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Aufdeckung der Gründe religiöser Gewaltlegitimierung und zur Veränderung der Praxis.
