Karl Barth, Catholic Renewal and Vatican II
From the 1920s on, Karl Barth's thought was received with great interest not only by Protestants but also by Catholic theologians, who analyzed it in detail. This study outlines how and why this happened, especially in the period leading up to Vatican II. Dahlke shows how preoccupation with Barth's Epistle to the Romans and Church Dogmatics triggered a theological renewal among Catholic theologians. In addition to Hans Urs von Balthasar's critical appropriation of Barth's thought, the controversy surrounding the issue of analogia entis with Erich Przywara is also dealt with.
Maria Sabina
Neuausgabe des Klassikers über den psychedelischen Pilzkult in Mexiko. Maria Sabina, die Botin der heiligen Pilze, war eine Schamanin und Heilerin aus dem mexikanischen Indianervolk der Mazateken. Sie lüftete in den fünfziger Jahren das Geheimnis der heiligen Pilze Mexikos. R. Gordon Wasson, ein Bankier aus New York, wurde von ihr – als erster Weißer – in die Welt der psychedelischen oder entheogenen Zauberpilze eingeführt. Im ersten Teil des Buches erzählt Maria Sabina ihre Lebensgeschichte. Sie berichtet von den geheimen Heilritualen, von ihrer Begegnung mit den Weißen und ihrem Heimatort Huautla im Bergland von Oaxaca. Im zweiten Teil finden sich Artikel von Wissenschaftlern und Forschern. Neben persönlichen Erinnerungen an die Schamanin werden indigene und moderne Pilzrituale vorgestellt. Erkenntnisse aus Mykologie, Chemie und Pharmakologie sowie Berichte über den Einsatz von Pilzwirkstoffen in der Psychotherapie runden dieses den Pilzen würdige Buch ab. Erstmals erschienen 1996 als Geschenk zum 90. Geburtstag von Albert Hofmann, dem Entdecker der Pilzwirkstoffe Psilocin und Psilocybin. Neuausgabe 2023
