International Review of Biblical Studies, Volume 55 (2008-2009)
Formerly known by its subtitle “Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete”, the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950’s. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.
The Eerdmans Encyclopedia of Early Christian Art and Archaeology
One of the most widely respected theological dictionaries put into one-volume, abridged form. Focusing on the theological meaning of each word, the abridgment contains English keywords for each entry, tables of English and Greek keywords, and a listing of the relevant volume and page numbers from the unabridged work at the end of each article or section.
Portraits of Medieval Europe, 800–1400
This volume provides a collection of ‘imagined lives’ – individuals who, no matter their position on the social hierarchy, were crucial to the development of medieval Europe and the modern period that followed. Based on primary source materials and the latest historical research, these literary accounts of otherwise unsourced or under-sourced individuals are written by leading scholars in the field. The book’s approach transcends the limitations of both historical narrative and literary fiction, offering a research-informed presentation of real people that is enriched by informed speculation and creative storytelling. This enriched presentation of the lives of these individuals offer...
Iconography of Liturgical Textiles in the Middle Ages
Whereas aspects of iconography have been reflected in monographic studies on individual pieces, the broader functional context of liturgical textiles and their iconography have so far barely been considered in scholarly publications. The book, presenting the papers delivered during a colloquium in 2007 at the Abegg-Stiftung, provides insights into this topic from various viewpoints.

The Cistercian Order in Medieval Europe
The Cistercian Order in Medieval Europe offers an accessible and engaging history of the Order from its beginnings in the twelfth century through to the early sixteenth century. Unlike most other existing volumes on this subject it gives a nuanced analysis of the late medieval Cistercian experience as well as the early years of the Order. Jamroziak argues that the story of the Cistercian Order in the Middle Ages was not one of a ‘Golden Age’ followed by decline, nor was the true ‘Cistercian spirit’ exclusively embedded in the early texts to remain unchanged for centuries. Instead she shows how the Order functioned and changed over time as an international organisation, held together ...
Devotionsorte im Kirchenraum
Im Zuge des nachkonziliaren Kirchenbaus entstanden vielerorts reduzierte, sehr liturgiefunktionale Kirchenräume. Dass diese Bauten auch Orte für das persönliche Gebet, für Devotion sein sollten, wurde seitens der Verantwortlichen nur am Rande bedacht. Die darauf folgende Kritik aus diversen Gemeinden zeigt jedoch ein Defizit an. Was braucht es also, damit neue oder umgestaltete Kirchenräume auch für persönliche Devotionsformen geeignet sind? Der Band will durch einen Blick in die Geschichte der Devotionsorte sowie durch liturgietheologische Reflexion Leitlinien für eine theologische Kirchenraumkonzeption aufzeigen, die gleichermaßen den Anforderungen der Liturgie wie auch der Devotion gerecht wird.

Kaufunger Klosterregel
Entgegen der immer noch verbreiteten Ansicht, man wisse nur wenig über das geistliche Leben im mittelalterlichen Kloster, bietet das Kaufunger "Regimen" tiefe Einblicke in die damalige Zeit. Wir lesen vom Beten und Feiern, vom Denken und Handeln der Nonnen, aber auch von den wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen des Kaufunger Stifts. Das Kaiserpaar Heinrich II. und Kunigunde hatte im Jahr 1017 auf dem Gelände der kleinen Königspfalz Kaufungen ein Kloster für Benediktinerinnen gegründet als Reichskloster; hier konnte der Kaiser mit seinem ganzen Tross Station machen. Aber seine vorrangige Aufgabe sollte sein, anstelle der Erben die zukünftige, möglichst ewige "memoria" für das kinderlose Ehepaa...
