International Knowledge Transfer in Religious Education
This book is about international knowledge transfer in religious education as an academic discipline; at the same time, though, it is related to the school subject of RE. Its aim is to strengthen the awareness of the need for international cooperation in the field of religious education in general and especially for clarifying the role of knowledge in this kind of cooperation. The contributions discuss a number of issues, among others related to the validity and transferability of knowledge in religious education. Thus, the book takes up a topic which so far has remained implicit and therefore also untreated. This approach implies a whole spectrum of new methodological and epistemological pr...

The Concept of Body in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
This volume of the series "Key Concepts in Interreligious Discourses" investigates the roots of the concept of "body" in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Body and being a created being stands in the focus of all the thre major monotheistic faiths. It is not just by the christian idea of man's likeness to God that indicates that the human body is a central object of religious thinking, both culturally and theologically charged. Here, the body stands in the crossfire of terms like "pure" and "unpure", "sacred" and "profane", "male" and "femal". And besides the theological controversies, everyday experiences like sexuality, gender equality and how to dispose of the own body (and that of oth...

Critique Scandinave de la Théologie Féministe Anglo-américaine
Scandinavian Critique of Anglo-American Feminist Theology is a collection of articles by scholars in various theological disciplines from five Scandinavian or Nordic countries. The articles cover a wide range of topics, including feminist sexual ethics, ecofeminist theology, gender perspectives on European welfare systems, Birgitta of Sweden and a search for Mary beyond stereotypes. As the title implies, a critical dialogue with US feminist theology is a recurrent theme throughout the book, but the essays also include constructive work from different theological perspectives. The journal also includes a bibliography that shows the diversity of Scandinavian and Nordic feminist theological research.
Image, Text, Stone
This edited volume explores the intermediality of image and text in Graeco-Roman sculpture. Through its choice of authors, disciplinary backgrounds are deliberately merged in order to bridge the traditional gap between archaeologists, epigraphists and philologists, who for a long time studied statues, material inscriptions and literary epigrams within the closely confined borders of their individual disciplines. Through its choice of objects, privileging works of which there are significant material remains, through its inclusion of all kinds of figural-cum-inscriptional designs, ranging from grand sculpture to reliefs and ‘decorative’ marble-objects, and through its methodological empha...
Lived Religion - Conceptual, Empirical and Practical-Theological Approaches
'Lived religion' signifies a shift of focus in order to attend to the religiosity of individuals and groups as embedded in the contexts of life-worlds. It suggests fresh attention to the body, to perception, to experience, to everyday life, and to biography. The essays in this collection gravitate around the concept of ‘lived religion’, honoring the contributions of Hans-Günter Heimbrock, in which he suggests this conceptual framework for understanding practical theology and religious education and for designing empirical research in theology. The contributions embrace a broad spectrum and include empirical studies, exegetical and historical investigations, contributions on practical theology as well as on the theory and practice of religious education, inviting further reflection and discussion about ‘lived religion.’
Religionspädagogik
Bernd Schröder erschließt die Religionspädagogik unter fünf verschiedenen, methodisch reflektierten Perspektiven. Er entfaltet das Fach mit historischer Tiefenschärfe und unter vergleichender Wahrnehmung religiöser Erziehung in anderen Religionen und Ländern; er verbindet empirische Bestandsaufnahmen mit systematischer Konzept- und Begriffsentwicklung, ohne darüber sein handlungsorientierendes Interesse aus dem Blick zu verlieren.Auf diese Weise entsteht ein umfassendes Panorama religionspädagogischer Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze für die Lernorte Schule und Gemeinde, Medien und Familie sowie - erstmals explizit entfaltet - Öffentlichkeit. Religionspädagogik wird so als theologische Disziplin profiliert, die an eine Fülle theologischer wie nicht-theologischer Disziplinen anschließt und deren Erträge unter dem ihr eigenen Fokus auf Bildung aus christlicher, hier: evangelischer Perspektive sichtet, kritisch auswertet und weiterführt.
Überschießende Kommunikation
Lukas Grill erforscht am Beispiel der Rede über "Arbeit" religiös potenzierte Umbruchsmomente alltäglicher Kommunikation. Anhand von 10 Gesprächen, die nach der projektspezifisch entwickelten Methodik des sprachraumorientierten Gesprächs durchgeführt und nach den Maßgaben der Konversationsanalyse ausgewertet werden, analysiert er, wie die Gesprächspartner im Sprechen über Arbeit ihre eigene Existenz auslegen. Mit einem dreidimensionalen Modell zur Deutung überschießender Momente in der Kommunikation leistet der Autor einen Beitrag zu religionstheoretischen Diskursen in der Theologie und ihren Nachbardisziplinen. Gleichzeitig entwirft er Perspektiven für Theoriediskurse über einzelne Praxisfelder innerhalb der Praktischen Theologie (z. B. für das Seelsorgegespräch, die Predigt und den Religionsunterricht).
