The Zurich Origins of Reformed Covenant Theology
This book explores the origins and development of one of the most significant doctrines of Reformation theology. The innovative ways in which the Zurich reformer Huldrych Zwingli and his successor Heinrich Bullinger thought about the relationship between the Old and New Testaments left an indelible mark on the Reformed tradition in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Distinctively, Zwingli and Bullinger emphasized the continuity of both testaments and spoke of a single covenant between God and humanity. This would become one of the defining teachings of Reformed Christianity. This book follows the development of their "covenant theology" in the Reformation and argues for its adoption by John Calvin in Geneva and the German theologians of the post-Reformation era.
Kinship in Europe
Since the publication of Philippe Ariès’s book, Centuries of Childhood, in the early 1960s, there has been great interest among historians in the history of the family and the household. A central aspect of the debate relates the story of the family to implicit notions of modernization, with the rise of the nuclear family in the West as part of its economic and political success. During the past decade, however, that synthesis has begun to break down. Historians have begun to examine kinship - the way individual families are connected to each other through marriage and descent - finding that during the most dynamic period in European industrial development, class formation, and state reorganization, Europe became a “kinship hot” society. The essays in this volume explore two major transitions in kinship patterns - at the end of the Middle Ages and at the end of the eighteenth century - in an effort to reset the agenda in family history.
World of Possibilities
This book retells the history of Western industrialization, revealing possibilities unexplored in the nineteenth century, variants of which have come to transform present day economies. It shows that economic actors have historically been more aware of the great strategic choices they faced than standard theory credits them with being, and this surprising acuity allows them to imagine and put into practice solutions which current theories of industrial organization have scarcely anticipated. The book is therefore at one and the same time a contribution to a substantive revision of the history of mechanized production and a propaedeutic in a form of explanation that approximates the knowledge of the actor to the knowledge of the theorist. The volume groups essays presented by a multinational team of historians and social scientists drawing on intensive primary research on a wide range of firms, regions, sectors and national economies in Western Europe and the United States from the eighteenth century to the 1990s.
Political Competition and Economic Regulation
Using case studies from the US, Canada, Germany and Switzerland as well as the European Union and the global economy, this is the first book of its kind to examine historical evidence on how competition among states or the lack of it affects regulation, especially labour market regulation.
Rechtsgeschichte
Das Standardwerk zur Einführung in die Rechtsgeschichte Die Rechtsgeschichte gliedert sich in zahlreiche Einzelfächer, wobei der Einteilung in Römisches und Deutsches Recht besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Diese Trennung scheint derzeit in Rückbildung begriffen zu sein. Das aus der Lehrpraxis entstandene Buch trägt dieser Entwicklung Rechnung. Behandelt werden die antiken römischen Grundlagen, Grundzüge des germanischen und des deutschen Rechts seit dem Mittelalter ebenso wie Rezeption des römischen Rechts und Humanismus bis hin zu den modernen Kodifikationen und dem Phänomen der Globalisierung. Ein Kapitel zum Nationalsozialismus und zu den Rechtsbildungen nach 1945 sowie zur Rechtsentwicklung in der DDR und der Bundesrepublik runden den Band ab. Das Standardwerk liegt jetzt in einer sechsten durchgesehenen und aktualisierten Auflage vor. Es eignet sich vorlesungsbegleitend für Studierende der Rechtswissenschaft und dürfte darüber hinaus für Historiker von großem Gewinn sein. Dieser Titel ist auf verschiedenen e-Book-Plattformen (Amazon, Apple, Libri, Thalia) auch als e-Pub-Version für mobile Lesegeräte verfügbar.
