Kurt Marti
«Schlosshaldenfriedhof. Einen Moment bin ich verweilt und habe den beiden, um etwas zu sagen, erzählt, letzthin hätte ich mit jemandem über sie gesprochen. Da habe der gefragt, was denn dieser Schriftsteller Marti für mich eigentlich gewesen sei. Ohne zu zögern, hätte ich geantwortet: ‹Mein geistiger Vater.› Da sehe ich, wie Hanni lächelt, ziemlich ironisch, wie mir scheint. Kurt hingegen schaut wie abwesend vor sich hin. Ach ja, ich weiss, solche Episoden haben ihn schon immer eher peinlich berührt. — Fredi Lerch Begegnungen, Gespräche, gemeinsame Wegstücke und Freundschaft – darüber schreiben Weggefährtinnen und Freunde von Kurt Marti. Entstanden ist ein persönliches Buch, ein biografisches Mosaik zu Kurt Marti: zu seinem Leben, seinem literarischen und theologischen Schaffen, seinem politischen Engagement und seinen Freundschaften. Es zeigt Kurt Martis immense Wirkung und ihn als Person: als Sprachkünstler, Pfarrer und Freund. Mit Beiträgen von Klaus Bäumlin, Ursula Bäumlin, Conradin Conzetti, Wolfgang Erk, Franz Hohler, Bertrand Knobel, Guy Krneta, Fredi Lerch, Stefanie Leuenberger und Joy Matter.

An ambitious bilingual anthology of postwar German poetry.
The New Georgics
The human condition in rural, provincial locations is once again gaining status as a subject of European ‘high fiction’, after several decades in which it was dismissed on aesthetic and ideological grounds. This volume is one of the first attempts to investigate perspectives on local cultures, values and languages both systematically and in a European context. It does so by examining the works of a variety of authors, including Hugo Claus, Llamazares, Bergounioux and Millet, Buffalino and Consolo, and also several Soviet authors, who paint a grim picture of a collectivized – and thus ossified – rurality. How do these themes relate to the ongoing trend of globalization? How do these w...
He is the Sun, She is the Moon
Renowned German social historian Heide Wunder refers to the cosmic image contained in the 1578 Book of Marital Discipline that characterizes the relationship between husband and wife. Today, "He is the sun, she is the moon" might be interpreted as a hierarchy of dominance and subordination. At the time it was used, however, sun and moon reflected the different but equal status of husband and wife. Wunder shows how the history of women and the history of gender relations can provide crucial insights into how societies organize themselves and provide resources for political action. She observes actual circumstances as well as the normative rules that were supposed to guide women's lives. We le...
God Or Goddess?
Hauke provides a tour de force study of the history and basic characteristics of modern feminism. Hauke presents an objective, detailed study of the facts of feminist theology around the world, using their own words and writings. He looks at the distinctiveness of feminist theology, what its image of man is as a fundamental point of departure, its basis from the experience of women as "formal principle", its views of the image of God, Christ, Mary, the Church, liturgy, ecology and eschatology. After carefully describing what the feminist position is, Hauke gives a critique from the point of view of the Catholic tradition. "The purpose of the present work is to provide, not a kind of "encyclopedia" on feminist theology, but an introduction and representative survey of central themes that will enable one to form a personal opinion. Addressed here are not just specialists in theology but all women and men who desire to inform themselves further about the powerful historical current that is feminist theology." -Manfred Hauke
Preaching Promise withing the Paradoxes of Life
Paradoxes have become characteristic of the world we live in - poverty and privilege, empire and oppression, migration and enclaveseeking, war and peace, justice and injustice, reconciliation and revenge. During the 2016 Societas Homiletica annual conference held in South Africa, these paradoxes served as a rediscovery of the calling of preachers to deliver the promise that lies within life's contradictions. A divine promise brought forth by the grace of God and the gospel of Christ - embodied in and through us by the Spirit of Christ. This promise may take many forms and calls for discernment and often interrupts the status quos in surprising, shocking ways. It is a promise that interrupts, in order to comfort.

Is this All There Is?
2020 Catholic Press Association second place award for English translation edition Is the Christian hope for resurrection still alive or has it become tired? How can we talk about the Resurrection today? Gerhard Lohfink takes up the question of death and resurrection in this new book. He argues against the dazzling array of today's ideas and expectations and seeks his answers in Scripture, the Christian tradition, and human reason. With his characteristically gentle but clear language, he reveals the power of Christian resurrection, showing it is not about events that lie in the distant future but rather occurrences incomprehensively close to us. They were long since begun and they will embrace us fully in our own death..

In Search for a Theology Capable of Mourning
To what extent are the children of Holocaust perpetrators to feel remorseful or responsible for their parents’ wrongdoing? Is the yearning by those offspring of Nazi sympathizers for forgiveness justified, or should they separate themselves from their parents or relatives and ignore the history? Such dilemmas have gnawed at theologian Martin Rumscheidt ever since, at age eighteen, he discovered his father’s complicity in using Jewish slave labor at his workplace, IG Farben. He has written and spoken extensively about his journey in search of what he calls a theology of mourning that would preserve his concept of the reality of God and still recognize the reality—at times grim reality—of life.
