The fact of evil continues to raises questions - questions about the relationship between God and evil but also questions about human involvement in it. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is now time to see the existence of evil not just as a problem for belief in God; it is a problem for belief in humanity itself as well. For human involvement in evil is not simply a matter of coping with evil but also concerns the fact that humans themselves often seem to do wrong and evil inevitably. Human finitude, ignorance and the unforeseeable consequences of good intentions as well as of neglect can often lead to tragedy. This volume contains contributions from an equal number of male and female scholars in Western Europe and America. It contains discussions of thinkers like Kant, Kierkegaard, Barth, Weil, Levinas, Naber, Caputo and Johnson. It deals with issues like tragedy, finitude, critiques of Western culture, violence and God, and the question of whether theodicies are needed or are even honest. This volume offers an interesting survey of 'wrestling with God and evil' from a variety of perspectives in the philosophy of religion on both sides of the Atlantic.

Die 11. Vollversammlung des Ökumenischen Rates der Kirchen fand vom 31. August bis zum 8. September 2022 unter dem Motto »Die Liebe Christi bewegt, versöhnt und eint die Welt« erstmals in Deutschland (Karlsruhe) statt. Über 4.000 internationale Gäste aus den 352 Mitgliedskirchen haben gemeinsam debattiert, Texte verabschiedet, gesungen und gebetet. Wie viel ist davon ein Jahr nach der Vollversammlung geblieben? Woran gilt es weiterzuarbeiten? Wie sieht die Zukunft der Ökumene in Deutschland und weltweit aus? Das Arbeitsbuch »In der Liebe Christi weitergehen« widmet sich diesen Fragen. Über 40 Autorinnen und Autoren aus dem internationalen Kontext geben in kurzen Beiträgen zu acht ausgewählten Schwerpunktthemen Einblicke in die Ergebnisse der Vollversammlung und Impulse für die Weiterarbeit – vor Ort, regional, national und weltweit.
Domestic violence is a significant threat to women’s survival. But Christian understandings of marriage often prevent women from resisting abusive relationships. Can the Church’s teaching on marriage be reshaped so that it helps women to survive, rather than encourage them to submit to their husband, bear their cross, or sacrifice themselves for the sake of their marriage? Focusing on everyday practices of marriage in two very different contexts: Argentina and England, Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in Contexts of Domestic Violence considers how Christian understandings of marriage as a covenant or sacrament relate to the lived experience of marriage. Drawing on Augustine’s notion of the goods of marriage, and on belief in the saving power of marriage, this book suggests that only when the wellbeing of bodies is central to a marriage can it have the power to save.
