Living with Risk and Danger
Climate change, migration and political instability make contemporary life in the Western world apear dangerous. This emphasizes the inevitability of running risks. Concepts of "risk" and "danger" are as relevant now as ever before for illuminating contemporary life. Yet, what changes in human lives if one interprets existence with risk and danger from the perspective of Christian faith? Makkel Gabriel Christoffersen reconsiders Christianity's potential for offering life orientation to humans living with risk. The author develops an interdisciplinary approach that allows him to draw upon sociological and anthropological reflections on life lived whilst facing risks and dangers. The result is a Trinitarian theology of risk that explores the extent to which one can consider the cross of Christ a risk of the incarnation rather than its very purpose.
Living with Risk and Danger
The contemporary world is marked by a sense of vulnerability not seen since the end of the Cold War. Climate change, migration, and political instability make people feel the inherent vulnerability of human life. Concepts of "risk" and "danger" are as relevant now as ever before for illuminating contemporary life. Yet, what changes in human lives if one interprets existence with "risk" and "danger" from the perspective of Christian faith? Does the Christian symbol system offer orientation for human lives in a time of crisis? Exploring the work of leading contemporary thinkers, Danish theologian Mikkel Gabriel Christoffersen develops a rich and varied account of Christian doctrine that enable...

Bodies Inhabiting the World
Bodies Inhabiting the World: Scandinavian Creation Theology and the Question of Home offers a multidimensional investigation of how houses, bodies, communities and the whole universe may be conceived and refigured as places where we belong—where we are at home in God’s creation. In this way, revisiting the tradition of Scandinavian creation theology provides profound resources to make theological affirmations of God’s omnipresence in the human condition we all share. The emergence here of an exciting new theological program can be recognized—beyond the limitations of other contemporary agendas' cul-de-sacs, blind spots and diffidence. What it is to have a home is a universal question closely connected to what it means to be human and to live a good, flourishing, life. But the negative experiences of homelessness, broken homes, statelessness and alienation always lurk in the background of the universal quest to find one's home in the world. This book contains fourteen essays exploring the dynamics of the human experience of finding, losing and finding again a home.
Between Pandemonium and Pandemethics
This volume brings together contextual and intercultural responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic from theological and interreligious perspectives. It searches for models of interpretation provided by religious traditions and their sacred texts, and the ethical guidance religious communities offer for coping with the pandemic. The authors explore imaginative ways that transcend the New Normal towards a »Pantopia« that does not return to the pitfalls of the Old Normal but tackles the injustices that the virus has revealed in the current Pandemonium. They strive to enable their readers to react to the glocal pandemic and its aftermath theologically informed by intercultural and interreligious pers...
Die Wiederkehr Der Rache
Im interdisziplinären Zusammenhang lässt sich in jüngerer Zeit eine Art "Wiederkehr der Rache" beobachten - Versuche, Rache oder Vergeltung zu rehabilitieren und anthropologisch zu verankern. Lisanne Teuchert arbeitet geistesgeschichtlich drei Ebenen dieser Umbewertung heraus: Emotionen, Überzeugungen und Praktiken. Dort nimmt die Arbeit jeweils konkrete Entwicklungen in den Blick: 1) den "emotional turn" und die Neubewertung von aggressiven Emotionen in der Sozial- und Moralphilosophie, 2) die Renaissance des Retributivismus in der Strafrechtstheorie und 3) den Bedeutungsgewinn von Praktiken ("practice turn") und die Herausarbeitung eines "sozialen Sinns" von rächend-vergeltenden Prakt...
Christsein
Christ:insein als Lebensform ist seit je her in unterschiedlichen Gestalten beobachtbar und an verschiedenen Orten erfahrbar. Es zeigt sich in der Gegenwart in seiner Konkretisierung als Lebensgestaltungsoption und zugleich als ein Suchfeld gegenwärtiger Praktischer Theologie. Die Beiträge des Bandes nehmen die Suchbewegung nach tragfähigen Gestalten und möglichen Orten des Christ:inseins aus ganz unterschiedlichen Perspektiven auf und führen die von Christian Grethlein seit 2018 in seinen Ausführungen zum »Christsein als Lebensform« elaborierten Überlegungen kreativ und explorativ fort. Dabei erweitern sie das Suchfeld in konstruktiv-kritischer Weise, indem sie differenziert auf di...
Incarnation
This volume takes the reader on a journey from New Testament and early church views of incarnation to contemporary understandings of Christology. A prominent group of scholars explores and debates the idea of “deep incarnation”—the view that the divine incarnation in Jesus presupposes a radical embodiment that reaches into the roots of material and biological existence, as well as into the darker sides of creation. Such a wide-scope view of incarnation allows Christology to be meaningful when responding to the challenges of scientific cosmology and global religious pluralism.
Pandemic Education and Viral Politics
Viral modernity is a concept based upon the nature of viruses, the ancient and critical role they play in evolution and culture, and their basic application to understanding the role of information and forms of bioinformation in the social world. The concept draws a close association between viral biology on the one hand and information science on the other to understand ‘viral’ technologies, conspiracy theories and the nature of post-truth. The COVID-19 pandemic is a major occurrence and momentous tragedy in world history, with millions of infections and many deaths worldwide. It has disrupted society and caused massive unemployment and hardship in the global economy. Michael A. Peters and Tina Besley explore human resilience and the collective response to catastrophe, and the philosophy and literature of pandemics, including ‘love and social distancing in the time of COVID-19’. These essays, a collection from Educational Philosophy and Theory, also explore the politicization of COVID-19, the growth of conspiracy theories, its origins and the ways it became a ‘viral’ narrative in the future of world politics.
