Egyptian-Islamic Views on the Comparison of Religions
Al-Azhar University is widely regarded as the most prestigious educational institution in Sunni Islam. In this capacity, it plays an important role in Egyptian society, also touching on the relationship between Muslims and Christians. The present study examines the writings of three contemporary Al-Azhar scholars in an effort to identify the operative understanding of comparative religions (namely Islam and Christianity) in each case. The study identifies various paradigms and provides impulses for a methodological reorientation in an effort to promote mutual understanding.
Memories
The story of Kamel Abu Jaber (1932-2020) is in some ways the story of the modern day Kingdom of Jordan. In this short and sweet collection of memories, Kamel recounts his tribal past, being a Christian Bedouin family, his childhood, seeking better opportunities in the United States, returning to his homeland to become head of many educational establishments and later a major political figure. Full of humour wit and wise andecdotes, Kamel takes you on his life' s unexpected journey with all its twists and turns. These stories were barely finished before his passing in 2020, and were published posthumously with a collection of photographs compiled by his wife Loretta Pacifico Abu Jaber.

The author calls, firstly, for a contemporary intercultural hermeneutics, secondly, for a doxological theology of mission, and, thirdly, for a theology of interreligious relations.

Zwischen Gewissen und Norm
Religionen als Lehren, Lebensstile und Kulturspeicher stehen heute in einem ambivalenten Verhaltnis zur religios pluralen Zivilgesellschaft. DEr vorliegende Band zeigt auf, wie sich das auf ihre eigenen Bildungstraditionen und -visionen auswirkt. IN unterschiedlichen Beitragen an der Schnittstelle der christlichen und islamischen Theologien und der Sozial- und Erziehungswissenschaften werden signifikante Pole dieser Spannung diskutiert, zum Beispiel Selbst- und Fremdbestimmung, Normen- und Wertediskurs, Gewissen und Autoritat, Individuum und Kollektiv oder Situation und Tradition. IM Zentrum der Tagung, aus der die Beitrage hervorgegangen sind, stand die Frage nach den Grenzen der Autonomie des Subjekts. DEr Band richtet sich an alle Akteurinnen und Akteure in padagogischen Handlungsfeldern mit Bezug zu religiosen Fragen.
Jesus als Christus – im Religionsunterricht
Der Glaube an Christus steht im Zentrum des christlichen Bekenntnisses. Aber was heißt eigentlich »Christus«? Lassen sich die überkommenen Konzepte heute noch verständlich machen? Das Buch experimentiert mit neuen Zugängen zum Verständnis des christologischen Geheimnisses. Das Konstruktionsprinzip ist: Ein innovatives religionsdidaktisches Konzept wird jeweils mit einer bestimmten christologischen Komponente gepaart. Zum Beispiel: Was kommt dabei heraus, wenn man das Christus-Bekenntnis von der Wundertätigkeit Jesu her zu erschließen versucht und dabei die Mittel einer performativen Didaktik einsetzt? Oder: Was kommt dabei heraus, wenn man die Rede vom Königtum Christi mit dem Mitt...
