Divided Lives
This book brings together the horrifying real life stories of women who woke up one day and were not who they thought they were. The government changed and they suddenly no longer had the right kind of blood, the right name, the right family background, the right physical features to be considered a member of society, city, or state. These stories are from German women who were a part of a Jewish-Christian "mixed marriage" and were subsequently persecuted under the Nuremberg laws. Hitler called them "mischling"- half-breeds, however, they have often been passed over in studies of the Holocaust--perhaps because they are often not considered "real Jews." But these women are still struggling wi...
The Betrayal of the Humanities
How did the academy react to the rise, dominance, and ultimate fall of Germany's Third Reich? Did German professors of the humanities have to tell themselves lies about their regime's activities or its victims to sleep at night? Did they endorse the regime? Or did they look the other way, whether out of deliberate denial or out of fear for their own personal safety? The Betrayal of the Humanities: The University during the Third Reich is a collection of groundbreaking essays that shed light on this previously overlooked piece of history. The Betrayal of the Humanities accepts the regrettable news that academics and intellectuals in Nazi Germany betrayed the humanities, and explores what went...
Towards Interchangeability
This book examines how the practice of episcopacy in the Church of England and the EKD affects the claim that the 'historic episcopate' is a necessary condition for 'the full interchangeability of ministers'. It addresses four questions relating to the practice of oversight: How have different forms of oversight sought to maintain the apostolic 'historic' faith in history and today? How does the exercise of authority within contemporary societies relate to the pre-modern ideas expressed in the idea of historic episcopate? How has the practice of oversight changed in the light of demographic changes and declining levels of church membership? What are the implications of synodical government and shared oversight for the concept of 'historic episcopate'? The book's goal is to explore whether an interdisciplinary analysis of episcopacy can assist the churches in establishing a new understanding of the "historic episcopate". With papers by Mark Chapman, Jonathan Gibbs, Matthias Grebe, Miriam Haar, Alex Hughes, Frances Knight, Morwenna Ludlow, Ralf Meister, Friederike Nüssel, Bernd Oberdorfer and Peter Scherle.
Science and Ideology
Does science work best in a democracy? Were 'Soviet' or 'Nazi' science fundamentally different from science in the USA? These questions have been passionately debated in the recent past. Particular developments in science took place under particular political regimes, but they may or may not have been directly determined by them. Science and Ideology brings together a number of comparative case studies to examine the relationship between science and the dominant ideology of a state. Cybernetics in the USA is compared to France and the Soviet Union. Postwar Allied science policy in occupied Germany is juxtaposed to that in Japan. The essays are narrowly focussed, yet cover a wide range of countries and ideologies. The collection provides a unique comparative history of scientific policies and practices in the 20th century.
Thinking about Christian Life in the Turmoil Times of the Middle East
"Studies in the Middle East" is a one-year programme at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut (NEST). In honour of its 20th anniversary, academics and teachers from the NEST and from Germany met at Georg-August University in Göttingen and in the nearby Coptic Orthodox Monastery in Höxter-Brenkhausen to discuss the current situation in the Middle East and possible ways to initiate a spiritual new beginning in this crisis and war-ridden region. The present volume offers various contributions that were made on the subject.
From Physicians’ Professional Ethos towards Medical Ethics and Bioethics
This book assembles essays by thinkers who were at the center of the German post World War II development of ethical thought in medicine. It records their strategies for overcoming initial resistance among physicians and philosophers and (in the East) politicians. This work traces their different approaches, such as socialist versus liberal bioethics; illustrates their attempt to introduce a culture of dialogue in medicine; and examines their moral ambiguities inherent to the institutionalization of bioethics and in law. Furthermore, the essays in this work pay special attention to the problem of ethics expertise in the context of a pluralism, which the intellectual mainstream of the country...

Der Laudato si'-Pakt für Erziehung und Bildung
Nicht nur Fridays for future, sondern auch Laudato si', die Sozial- und Umweltdenkschrift von Papst Franziskus rüttelt an herrschender Gleichgültigkeit, dramatischer Selbstgefälligkeit und gefährlicher Borniertheit, wenn es um Wertschätzung und Hegen unseres gefährdeten Planeten geht. Der Papst lädt zu einem Laudato si'-Pakt für Erziehung und Bildung ein, und diese Einladung ist bleibend aktuell, inspirierend und motivierend, damit eine Große Transformation in Gang gebracht wird. Der Autor hat "viel Welt" zu virtuellen Laudato si'-Gesprächen an einen runden Tisch eingeladen, denn die engagierte päpstliche Einladung braucht engagierte Erziehung und Bildung, in dem Bewusstsein "Die Welt ist ein freudiges Geheimnis".
Partnerschaft, Freundschaft, Dialog
Anlässlich des 60. Geburtstages von Martin Tamcke, Ökumeniker und Spezialist für den christlichen Orient an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, fand ein internationales Symposium zu Freundschaft, Dialog und Partnerschaft statt. Neben persönlich gehaltenen Reden, die erahnen lassen, in welcher Atmosphäre auf diesem Symposium gearbeitet wurde, lieferten anerkannte Wissenschaftler aus aller Welt wichtige Beiträge zum Thema. Zusammengehalten werden diese auch, da sie bewusst die in Tamckes Werk und Wirken wesentlichen Themen in je eigener Weise aufzunehmen versuchen.
