The True Human Being
The aim of Odgaard Møller's book is threefold: The first main section seeks to clarify how and why Jesus is presented in the pre-1968 writings of the Danish theologian and philosopher K.E. Løgstrup (1905–1981). Throughout his work, Løgstrup's main focus has been a rehabilitation of the insight that life is something definite, because it is created. Here, Jesus primarily plays a methodological/strategic role as the one confirming and giving witness to Løgstrup's interpretation of created life in a given time of his authorship. When faith in creation is formulated polemically against another interpretation of life, Jesus serves as Løgstrup's ally in this discussion. In the second main s...
Controverting Kierkegaard
This is the first English edition of a major work by the Danish philosopher and theologian K. E. Løgstrup (1905-81). It is the culmination of his critical engagement with Kierkegaardianism, which had begun almost 20 years earlier. In this text, Løgstrup focuses on four main themes in Kierkegaard: his understanding of Christ and thus of Christianity; his understanding of suffering in human existence; Christian vs. secular ethics; and Platonistic influences on Kierkegaard's position, which Løgstrup characterises as nihilistic. Løgstrup presents his own alternative conception in response: that Christ revealed universal ontological ethical structures that put Christians and non-Christians on...
Receptions and Transformations of the Bible
These volumes of Religion and Normativity present the latest research in three central fields. Volume II deals with Reception and Transformation of the Bible as it occurs in modern literature (in both Danish and English), philosophy (including Kierkegaard), and Jewish and Christian religious practice. The researchers base their work on the theories and methods of the study of religion, philosophy, theology and literature.
Receptions and Transformations of the Bible
The Bible has been called the 'Book of Books'. In Western culture it is considered a literary work and it has a central role in both the Jewish and Christian religions. The Bible has inspired writing and has also provoked contradiction. It has not only had a normative function for future poets, but philosophers and scien-tists have also applied biblical motives and have struggled with biblical ideas to formulate new thoughts. Drawing on examples from the works of Torgny Lindgren, Philip Pullman, Milan Kundera and Martin A Hansen, the first part of this volume begins be examining the reception and transforma-tion of the Bible in literature. Then, using examples from Søren Kierkegaard, K E LÃ...
»What is Human?«
Already Scripture asks many questions regarding anthropological problems. In the 20th century, the scholarly field of anthropology has become a lot more complex heuristically, methodically and hermeneutically. Therefore, modern research needs to answer arisen questions considering a wide range of disciplines: Sociology, Philosophy, Ethics and also Empirical Research. This volume is an interdisciplinary project within theology. Contributions seek to not only reflect the state of the art in anthropological research from a theological point of view, but also provide a theological interpretation of one virulent question: What is a Human?
Hinandens verden
Skønt K.E. Løgstrup satte en ære i at benytte dagligsproget og gerne tog udgangspunkt i livet, som vi kender det, er han ofte ganske svær at gÃ¥ til. Med 'Hinandens verden' fÃ¥r læseren nu en ledsager, der analyserer, forklarer og diskuterer argumentationsÂgangen i 'Den etiske fordring'. Til belysning af K.E. Løgstrups hovedÂværk inddrages andre tekster fra forfatterskabet samt fag- og skønlitteratur, der kan bidrage til forstÃ¥elsen af denne originale klassiker i nyere dansk Ã¥ndsliv. "Man kunne ikke slippe hvem som helst løs pÃ¥ et projekt af denne karakter. SÃ¥vel forenklinger som umotiverede "sidevogne" kunne hurtigt gøre mere skade end gavn. At det kræver en utrolig grad af...
James among the Classicists
This book gives attention to the language and style of the letter of James, with a hypothesis about its rhetorical purpose in mind. It focuses on what we can learn about the author of James, by reading the text in light of a guiding research question: How does the author establish and assert authority? The letter builds literary authority for a number of purposes, one of which is to address socioeconomic disparity, a major concern for the author. The author of James presents a speech-in-character in the shape of a letter to establish his ethos (Ch. 2), employing vocabulary and style to signal his education implicitly (Ch. 3 & 4) and includes himself in the categories of sage, teacher and exe...
From Migrant to Worker
What happens when local unions begin to advocate for the rights of temporary migrant workers, asks Michele Ford in her sweeping study of seven Asian countries? Until recently unions in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand were uniformly hostile towards foreign workers, but Ford deftly shows how times and attitudes have begun to change. Now, she argues, NGOs and the Global Union Federations are encouraging local unions to represent and advocate for these peripheral workers, and in some cases succeeding. From Migrant to Worker builds our understanding of the role the international labor movement and local unions have had in developing a movement for migrant ...
