The volume presents theological and religious research that explores women's voices and experiences in the fields of migration, culture and (eco)peacebuilding with the goal to discuss complex and dynamic questions of women's active participation and engagement in these challenges, mainly from the perspective of Central European authors. The chapters address these matters in order to rethink and search for theological and religious responses to the inequalities, prejudices, and conflicts that arise from these crises and look for new ethical paths to mitigate them through interreligious dialogue and religious (eco)peacebuilding
Hope and trust are key problems of the present world and should therefore be at the centre of interest of science and society. Climate change, pandemics, dangerous global and social polarization, people's distrust of politics and institutions, social isolation and the rise of mental problems in developed countries of material prosperity are problems that we will only be able to cope with if we know how to cultivate hope and trust. The authors deal with them from various aspects of the humanities: philosophy, theology, religious studies, intellectual history, cognitive science, psychology and psychotherapy. This gives the book an interdisciplinary character.
Dia-log, das sind nicht zwei, die lügen, sondern das ist etwas, das durch den logos ermöglicht wird. Klaus Otte hat daher die Dialogforschung vom Leitwort 'dia-tou-logou' gedacht. Dies hat für den (geistes-)wissenschaftlichen Zugang methodologische Konsequenzen: Forschung wird konstitutiv multiperspektivisch und schließt neben dem reflektierenden Schreiben künstlerische und performative Praxis ein. Um den Initialtext von Klaus Otte kreisen die Beiträge der Anderen, indem sie sich mal als Kritik, mal als Ergebnis eines 'seinsspringenden' Happenings auf den Initialgedanken zurückwenden.
Mit Hilfe der biblischen Geschichten reflektiert das Buch Lebensfragen, die vor allem für partnerschaftliche und Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen bis in die Gegenwart aktuell sind. Beziehungen zwischen Abraham und Sara, Isaak und Rebekka, Jakob und "Rahel-Lea" sowie geschwisterliche Beziehungen haben an ihrer Aussagekraft nichts verloren. Auf diese Weise wird das Buch Genesis mit ihrem unerschöpflichen Reichtum "mein" und "unser" Buch. Die Hoffnung und der Glaube der biblischen Gestalten können mir und uns allen Lebenskraft geben, um Krisen zu überwinden sowie Ressourcen und Freuden auf dem Weg des persönlichen Wachstums zu entdecken.
This ESWTR Yearbook is the first to be defined geographically. It gathers together articles by Eastern and Central European women theologians, reflecting on their context, their history and their identity. The book gathers papers from Croatia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Slovenia, from Lutheran, Reformed, Orthodox, Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic perspectives. Central for many of the authors is the burning question of how identity is to be defined - for women, for believers, in the post-communist era. To read these papers is to be offered a fascinating glimpse of the multiplicity and complexity of the contexts and traditions which have shaped - and continue to shape - European churches and their theologies.
Chosen by the New York Times as one of the "Notable Books of 2018" Chosen by El País as one of this past decade's nine best novels about life and death The prize-winning, bestselling tale of love, loss, family and the lives we live moment by moment, from a stunning new voice in European fiction. Tom's heavily pregnant girlfriend Karin is rushed to hospital with severe flu. While the doctors are able to save the baby, they are helpless in the face of what transpires to be acute Leukemia, and in a moment as fleeting as it is cruel Tom gains a daughter but loses his soul-mate. In Every Moment is the story of a year that changes everything, as Tom must reconcile the fury of bereavement with the overwhelming responsibility of raising his daughter, Livia, alone. By turns tragic and redemptive, meditative and breathless, achingly poignant and darkly funny, this heavily autobiographical novel has been described in its native Sweden as 'hypnotic', 'impossible to resist' and 'one of the most powerful books about grief ever written'.
