Praxis of Retelling Parables and Miracles

A bible theological didactic is not principally reduced to learning and teaching Bible alone but rather extended to understanding and interpreting Bible in one's own religious and pedagogical context. Bible didactic, moreover, does not circumscribe itself only to biblical knowledge in virtue of deducing some abstract and moral principles, but it rather prospects to strengthen and reconstruct one's identity within the choices offered by culture and context. This book aims to engage in an intercultural interpretation of the parables and the miracles of Jesus by dialoging with the culture of Tamils. This comparative study subsequently proposes an alternative synchronic hermeneutic in biblical d...

The Jesus Handbook

An authoritative handbook on Jesus, his world, the outcomes of his life, and the quests to locate him in history. The Jesus Handbook is an indispensable reference work featuring essays from an international team of renowned scholars on the significance and meaning of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Rooted in historical-critical methodology, it emphasizes a diversity of perspectives and provides a spectrum of possible interpretations rather than a single unified portrait of Jesus. The Handbook’s dozens of authors—Jewish, Roman Catholic, and Protestant—all remain committed to the principle of interpreting the life of Jesus in context, while also giving due diligence to the implications of...

Character Studies in the Fourth Gospel

Using various narrative approaches and methodologies, an international team of forty-four Johannine scholars here offers probing essays related to individual characters and group characters in the Gospel of John. These essays present fresh perspectives on characters who play a major role in the Gospel (Peter, Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, Thomas, and many others), but they also examine characters who have never before been the focus of narrative analysis (the men of the Samaritan woman, the boy with the loaves and fishes, Barabbas, and more). Taken together, the essays shed new light on how complex and nuanced many of these characters are, even as they stand in the shadow of Jesus. Readers of this volume will be challenged to consider the Gospel of John anew.

Children's voices

The third meeting of the European network of children’s theology took place in April 2013 in Trondheim, Norway. Sturla Sagberg organised this meeting with great care and commitment, and intended to publish the contributions to the conference in a book to make them accessible to the wider public. The approach of children’s theology has been specified and differentiated over the course of the last ten years. This book provides insight into the process and results of different European and North American research projects. As the practice of children’s theology is linked to the “great questions”, which are equally raised by children’s philosophy, the range of topics of both the conference and this book are marked by the terms children’s theology, children’s philosophy and spirituality.

A Life (Un)Worthy of Living

This book presents the findings of a study into the social shaping of reproductive genetics in Germany and Israel. The study reveals dramatic differences between German and Israeli societies in addressing the question of a life (un)worthy of living. A close analysis of the ways that these two societies handle the balance between the quality and sanctity of life illuminates controversies over reproductive genetics in an original and provocative way.

Reli – keine Lust und keine Ahnung?

Kinder und vor allem Jugendliche, die nur wenig "Lust auf Reli" zeigen und auch "keine Ahnung" davon zu haben scheinen, sind aus der alltäglichen Unterrichtserfahrung wohl allgemein bekannt. Auch in empirischen Untersuchungen wird immer wieder deutlich, dass der Unterricht keineswegs alle Schülerinnen und Schüler anzusprechen scheint. Austritte aus dem Religionsunterricht sind ein weiterer Hinweis auf die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen. Die Religionspädagogik hat sich bislang erstaunlich wenig auf diese Fragen und praktischen Herausforderungen eingelassen. Es ist an der Zeit, die Aufmerksamkeit neu zu justieren und sich auch den weniger erfreulichen Erfahrungen mit Religionsunterric...

Children's Book

Can children theologize without substantial requirements? Initially, the movement of child theology accentuated children’s original theological creativity. But in the last years, several authors point out that children need theological food in order to originally theologize. One of the most appropriate medium are children’s books. This volume presents the lectures of the international symposium “Children’s books: Nurture for children’s theology”. Proven experts demonstrate empirically studied strategies in order to stimulate children’s theological reasoning, be it about God, Jesus as the savior, death, the soul, Christmas and many other theological topics more. This reader presents the state of the art in theologizing with children stimulated by children’s books.

Religion in der Sekundarstufe II

Religionsunterricht in der Oberstufe: Welche Erwartungen knüpfen sich an das Fach, welche Voraussetzungen sind bei den Beteiligten - Schülern wie Lehrern - zu bedenken, welche didaktischen und methodischen Schlüsse sind zu ziehen? Die Beiträge des Kompendiums beschränken sich nicht auf die Theorie; oberstufenspezifische didaktische Modelle werden ebenso vorgestellt wie Kursmodellskizzen oder Anregungen zur Unterrichtsplanung. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt auch der angemessenen Evaluation und Leistungsbewertung. Der Oberstufenunterricht in Religion soll studienfähig machen, er soll darüber hinaus aber wie jeder gute Religionsunterricht den ganzen Menschen ansprechen, seine kreativen Fantasien wecken und Nahrung geben 'für die Seele'.

Few New Testament topics have been discussed as often and as intensely as Q, the hypothesized second major source alongside the gospel of Mark for the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and the parables. And yet, no monograph to date has been devoted to considering the parables in Q. In addition to filling this gap in New Testament scholarship, Dieter T. Roth addresses the need to move scholarship on both Q and the parables forward along methodological and interpretive lines. Roth considers Q not as a text behind Matthew and Luke that needs to be reconstructed but rather as an intertext between Matthew and Luke that offered plots, characters, and images in parables that were taken up by Matthew and Luke and utilized in their own respective texts. In addition, Roth draws on recent parables research in his examination of the 27 parables in Q (two spoken by John the Baptist, one by the Centurion, and 24 by Jesus) in order to consider their purpose and function in this early Christian text.

Geöffnete Augen - gedeutete Zeichen

Martina Kumlehn untersucht erstmals die wechselvolle Aufnahme des Johannesevangeliums in religionspädagogischen Konzeptionen des 20. Jahrhunderts und spannt dabei in fünf Einzelstudien einen Bogen von der liberalen Religionspädagogik bis zur Symboldidaktik. Die sechste Studie entwirft einen eigenen bibeldidaktischen Zugang, der in Auseinandersetzung mit der Erzähltheorie Paul Ricoeurs die besondere Erzählweise des Johannesevangeliums aufnimmt und didaktisch reflektiert. Im Spannungsfeld von Phänomenologie und Semiotik wird das Johannesevangelium als Wahrnehmungsschule und Katalysator pluraler Lesarten vorgestellt.
