Dante and the Practice of Humility
In this book, Rachel Teubner offers an exploration of humility in Dante's Divine Comedy, arguing that the poem is an ascetical exercise concerned with training its author gradually in the practice of humility, rather than being a reflection of authorial hubris. A contribution to recent scholarship that considers the poem to be a work of self-examination, her volume investigates its scriptural, literary, and liturgical sources, also offering fresh feminist perspectives on its theological challenges. Teubner demonstrates how the poetry of the Comedy is theologically significant, focusing especially on the poem's definition of humility as ethically and artistically meaningful. Interrogating the text canto by canto, she also reveals how contemporary tools of literary analysis can offer new insights into its meaning. Undergraduate and novice readers will benefit from this companion, just as theologians and scholars of medieval religion will be introduced to a growing body of scholarship exploring Dante's religious thought.

An Analysis of T.S. Eliot's The Sacred Wood
The essay for which The Sacred Wood is primarily remembered is one of the most famous pieces of criticism in English: “Tradition and the Individual Talent” helped to re-orientate arguments about the study of literature and its production by redefining the nature of tradition and the artist's relation to it.At a time when the word “traditional” had become a way of damning with faint praise by reference to the past, Eliot reinterpreted the term to mean something entirely different. It is not, he argues, something just “handed down,” but, instead, a prize to be obtained “by great labour,” not least in the making of a huge effort of understanding how the past fits together.

Reformatorische Bewegungen im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert
Für das Verhältnis von Frauen zur Bibel bedeutet die Reformation einen Wendepunkt. Einerseits öffnen ihnen die zunehmende Alphabetisierung und ein prophetisches Verständnis von Kirche und Verkündigung neue Möglichkeiten der Aneignung und Vermittlung biblischer Inhalte; andererseits gehen mit der Schließung der Klöster auch Räume geistlicher Selbstbestimmung verloren. Weitgehend unverändert bleibt eine patriarchale Gesellschaftsstruktur, die den Frauen im öffentlichen Raum der Kirche das Schweigen auferlegt. Der vorliegende Sammelband illustriert diesen Prozess anhand von Studien zum 16. und 17. Jahrhundert in Zentraleuropa, auf den britischen Inseln, in Skandinavien sowie in West- und Südeuropa.
Lutherjahrbuch 91. Jahrgang 2024
Der 91. Jahrgang des Lutherjahrbuches bietet grundlegende Beiträge, welche zentrale Aspekte von Luthers Theologie kirchen- und kunsthistorisch beleuchten, Aktivitäten der Augustinereremiten im Fall Luthers akzentuieren und den Thesenanschlag in Dramen und Predigten des 17.

So wird beispielsweise den existentiellen Relationen in Luthers Theologie nachgespürt, der Glaubensgehorsam bei Luther analysiert und die Motive für die Deutschlandreise 1521 des französischen Augustinereremiten Arnaldus de Bornossio geradezu kriminalistisch eruiert. Zudem wird ein bisher unbekanntes Lutherdrama von 1676 hier erstmals präsentiert. Aufsätze zum Jahr 1523,...
