Survivors of Stalingrad
In November 1942 – in a devastating counter-attack from outside the city – Soviet forces smashed the German siege and encircled Stalingrad, trapping some 290,000 soldiers of the 6th Army inside. For almost three months, during the harshest part of the Russian winter, the German troops endured atrocious conditions. Freezing cold and reliant on dwindling food supplies from Luftwaffe air drops, thousands died from starvation, frostbite or infection if not from the fighting itself. This important work reconstructs the grim fate of the 6th Army in full for the first time by examining the little-known story of the field hospitals and central dressing stations. The author has trawled through hu...
The Missionary Family
The title of this book points to a feature—the missionary family—often considered to be a distinctive of the Protestant missionary movement. Certainly the presence of missionary families in the field has been a central factor in enabling, configuring, and restricting Protestant missionary outreach. What special concerns does sending missionary families raise for the conduct of mission? What means are available for extending care and support to missionary families? These issues are the focus of the chapters in part 1 of this book. In recent years an increasing number of reports have surfaced of sexual abuse in mission settings. Some reports have been based on “recovered memories,” the...
Walter and Ingrid Trobisch and the Globalization of Modern, Christian Sexual Ethics
Walter and Ingrid Trobisch played a major role in shaping a transcultural conversation about love, sex, gender identity, and marriage during the mid-twentieth century. The Trobisches are most well known for Walter's book I Loved a Girl (1962), which he wrote while teaching at Cameroon Christian College. Within a decade, one million copies of the book were in circulation, it was translated into seventy languages, and Trobisch had received ten thousand letters from African and American readers of the book asking for relational advice. The Trobisches founded an international marriage-counseling ministry to answer these letters. While the Trobisches held paternalistic attitudes common among western missionaries of their generation, their vision of sexuality helped Christians in Africa and the United States to navigate changing sexual norms of the mid-twentieth century.

Glück hat viele Gesichter
Das Wort Glück ist zu einer Allerweltsvokabel geworden. Die traditionsreichen Philosophien und Theologien des Glücks melden sich zwar nach wie vor zu Wort, die Gewichte haben sich aber verschoben. Stichworte sind u.a. Wirtschaft, Politik, gesellschaftliche Umstände, Ländervergleiche, hirnorganische Befunde, psychologische Befragungen, Wohlfühl-Angebote, Interviews und vieles andere mehr. Man muss keinen normativen Glücksvorstellungen anhängen, kann aber auf manche erheblichen Defizite im gegenwärtigen Glücks-Diskurs hinweisen. Die in diesem Band wieder abgedruckten, weil aktuell gebliebenen Beiträge sind deshalb informativ und beachtenswert. Eine irgendwie geartete umfassende Theorie des Glücks wird selbstverständlich nicht erwogen.
