Final Testimonies
The five brief pieces collected here represent the final words prepared by Karl Barth for publication, all of them originating during the period from his serious illness in August of 1968 to his death in December of that same year. The final selection is a fragment left unfinished the night he died. "The last word that I have to say as a theologian or politician is not a concept like grace but a name: Jesus Christ. He is grace and he is the ultimate one beyond world and church and even theology. We cannot lay hold of him. But we have to do with him.... There is no salvation but in this name. In him is grace." Karl Barth, 'Final Testimonies'
Resonant Witness
Resonant Witness gathers together a wide, harmonious chorus of voices from across the musical and theological spectrum to show that music and theology can each learn much from the other and that the majesty and power of both are profoundly amplified when they do. With essays touching on J. S. Bach, Hildegard of Bingen, Martin Luther, Karl Barth, Olivier Messiaen, jazz improvisation, South African freedom songs, and more, this volume encourages musicians and theologians to pursue a more fruitful and sustained engagement with one another. What can theology do for music? Resonant Witness helps answer this question with an essential resource in the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of music and theology. Covering an impressively wide range of musical topics, from cosmos to culture and theology to worship, Jeremy Begbie and Steven Guthrie explore and map new territory with incisive contributions from the very best musicians, theologians, and philosophers. Bennett Zon Durham University This volume represents a burst of cross-disciplinary energy and insight that can be celebrated by musicians and theologians, music-lovers and God-lovers alike. John D. Witvliet (from afterword)

Vivat Helvetia
Die Frage nach der nationalen Identität bedeutet ein Nachdenken über ge-schichtliche Entstehungsbedingungen einer Nation und eine Neuorientierung in einer immer komplexer werdenden Gesellschaft der Gegenwart. Der Schutz, der eine nationale Identität - oft geprägt von Mythen - dem Kollektiv der Individuen, das wir Staat nen-nen, bietet, legt die Möglichkeiten einer Zukunft fest und kann sie einschränken. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es das Anti-Modell eines aufklärerischen Inter-nationalismus, ein oft modisches Konzept, das die Nation als die Erfindung des Nationalismus definiert; es kann als realistische Alternative betrachtet, aber auch als Utopie in Frage gestellt werden. Anlässlich ...
"Escape to Life"
After 1933, New York City gave shelter to many leading German and German-Jewish intellectuals. Stripped of their German citizenship by the Nazi-regime, these public figures either stayed in the New York area or moved on to California and other places. This compendium, adopting the title of a famous volume published by Klaus and Erika Mann in 1939, explores the impact the US, and NYC in particular, had on these authors as well as the influence they in turn exerted on US intellectual life. Moreover, it addresses the transformations that took place in the exiled intellectuals’ thinking when it was translated into another language and addressed to an American audience. Among the individuals pr...
Letzte Ruhe am Rheinknie
Auf den fünf heute noch genutzten Friedhöfen auf basel-städtischem Boden liegen unzählige Persönlichkeiten begraben, die Lokal-, Landes- und manche sogar ein Stück Weltgeschichte geschrieben haben. Der Autor lädt dazu ein, auf ausgewählten Routen über den Wolfgottesacker, den Israelitischen Friedhof, den Friedhof am Hörnli, den Gottesacker Riehen und den Friedhof Bettingen die Grabstätten einiger dieser Menschen zu besuchen und ihre Geschichten zu entdecken. Für die körperlich leicht zu bewältigenden und geistig stimulierenden Spaziergänge, die kein kräftezehrender Bildungsmarathon werden sollen, wurden die an den vorgeschlagenen Strecken Ruhenden weder einem Bedeutungsrankin...
In the Shadow of the Magic Mountain
A biography of Thomas Mann's two eldest children that provides intriguing insight into both their lives and the political and cultural shifts at the same time. Thomas Mann’s two eldest children, Erika and Klaus, were unconventional, rebellious, and fiercely devoted to each other. Empowered by their close bond, they espoused vehemently anti-Nazi views in a Europe swept up in fascism and were openly, even defiantly, gay in an age of secrecy and repression. Although their father’s fame has unfairly overshadowed their legacy, Erika and Klaus were serious authors, performance artists before the medium existed, and political visionaries whose searing essays and lectures are still relevant toda...
Modernism on File
Modernism on File: Writers, Artists, and the FBI, 1920-1950 brings together important new scholarship focused on J. Edgar Hoover's FBI and its institutional presence in shaping and directing American print, film, and art culture. From Harlem to Hollywood, Hoover and his bureau workers were bent on decontaminating America's creativity and this collection looks at the writers and artists who were tagged, tracked, and in some cases, trapped by the FBI. Contributors detail the threatening aspects of political power and critique the very historiography of modernism, acknowledging that modernism was on trial during those years.

Krisis und Gnade
"Wie kein anderer evangelischer Theologe hat Karl Barth die theologische Diskussion des 20. Jahrhunderts angeregt. Er trieb die dogmatische Reflexion durch seine Neufassung reformatorischer Einsichten voran und begleitete in kritischer Zeitgenossenschaft das kirchliche und politische Geschehen seiner Zeit. Michael Beintker beleuchtet in seinen Studien entscheidende Weichenstellungen im Werk Barths wie die Bedeutung der 'Dialektik' in seiner frühen Theologie und seine Beschäftigung mit Anselm von Canterburys Buch über den ontologischen Gottesbeweis. Theologiegeschichtliche Untersuchungen zum Offenbarungsverständnis in der Zeit der Weimarer Republik und zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Zeitgenossen Dietrich Bonhoeffer und Friedrich Gogarten bilden neben Studien zur politischen Ethik Barths die weiteren Schwerpunkte des Bandes."--Publisher's description from Deutsche Nationalbibliothek.
