The Faith of Girls
Exploring the spirituality and faith of girls on the verge of adolescence, this book presents fresh insights into children's spirituality and their transition to adulthood. Phillips has listened to girls' voices speaking in depth on the themes of self, God, church, and world, and reflected on their experiences and understandings in the light of current psychological, philosophical and sociological thinking, all placed into dialogue with a feminist approach to contemporary theology and bible. Phillips offers 'wombing' as a metaphor for their transition to young adulthood, and suggests strategies faith communities might adopt to companion girls more effectively through the fragility of puberty. This book will appeal to all those exploring areas of youth ministry, pastoral care, Christian education, nurture and childhood studies, psychology and theology.

Reconciliation
Hardly any other topic is as important for the coexistence of mankind as the question of justice and reconciliation. In this volume, we want to examine this important question from different interdisciplinary and international perspectives in order to develop an overall understanding that will contribute to reconciliation in various cultural and religious fields of conflict in the world. Particular attention will be paid to the theological perspective on reconciliation, in which justice and restoration of relationships play a central role.
Issues in Spiritual Formation in Early Lifespan Contexts
This book focuses on the question of how different contexts are relevant in the shaping and expression of individual spirituality spanning from early childhood to young adulthood. Past decades have witnessed a strong expansion of research on spirituality and spiritual education. This expansion has proved to have many advantages in understanding the experiences, values, identities and behaviours of individuals and communities. Such research has benefitted from different research disciplines and methods, from its openness toward different faith traditions and non-religious belief systems, and from the agility in adapting to diverse and evolving contexts. These aspects are essential in producin...
On Theology and Psychology
Jung's correspondence with one of the twentieth century's leading theologians and ecumenicists On Theology and Psychology brings together C. G. Jung's correspondence with Adolf Keller, a celebrated Protestant theologian who was one of the pioneers of the modern ecumenical movement and one of the first religious leaders to become interested in analytical psychology. Their relationship spanned half a century, and for many years Keller was the only major religious leader to align himself with Jung and his ideas. Both men shared a lifelong engagement with questions of faith, and each grappled with God in his own distinctive way. Presented here in English for the first time are letters that provi...
Integrative Beratung
Verbinden, was zusammengehört: Menschen, Methoden und Wissenschaften. Integration beginnt bei den inneren Anteilen einer Person und umfasst zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen, Mindsets, Milieus, Kulturen sowie Psyche und Spiritualität. Der Ansatz der von Ulrich Giesekus und Eva Maria Jäger entwickelten "Integrativen Beratung" antwortet auf den steigenden Bedarf an wissenschaftlich fundierter und reflektierter ganzheitlicher Beratung. Neben der Beratungswissenschaft, Psychologie, Soziologie und Medizin spielt dabei auch die Theologie eine wichtige Rolle. Gute Theorie begründet gute Praxis, darf aber dort nicht stehen bleiben. "Integrative Beratung" bietet deshalb viele praktische Bezüge aus dem Alltag der Beratung. Das Buch führt die verschiedenen Disziplinen zusammen. Mit Beiträgen von Waltraud Belser, Sarah Bolz, Dietmar Czycholl, Heinzpeter Hempelmann, Michael Herbst, Matthias Samlow, Friedemann Schulz von Thun und Michael Utsch.
