‘Being Towards Death’
This book draws the philosophical contribution of Martin Heidegger together with theological-spiritual insights from the East, especially that of Nikolai Berdyaev. Thus, it brings into dialogue the West with the East, and philosophy with theology. By doing so, it offers Christian theology an existential-spiritual language that is relevant and meaningful for the contemporary reader. In particular, the work explores Heidegger’s ‘being towards death’ (Sein zum Tode) as the basis for theological-philosophical thinking. Only the one who embraces ‘being towards death’ has the courage to think and poetize. This thinking, in turn, makes ‘being towards death’ possible, and in this circu...
'Being Towards Death'
Das Werk stellt den philosophischen Beitrag Martin Heideggers im Zusammenhang mit dem theologischen Beitrag des Ostens, besonders dem Nikolai Berdyaevs, dar. Damit bringt es die westliche Welt mit der östlichen, die Philosophie mit der Theologie ins Gespräch und ist ein Versuch der christlichen Theologie eine existentielle Sprache zu bieten, die für die Gegenwart von Bedeutung ist. Des Weiteren ist das ,,Sein zum Tode" mit dem Sein zu den Anderen bzw. zu Gott vergleichbar, durch welche das Sein-zum-wahren-freien-Selbst zu erreichen ist. In diesem Sinne zielt das Werk darauf ab, das ,,Sein zum Tode" durch die Sprache zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Damit ist das Werk auch ein Übergang von allgem...
The Lived Experience of Forgiveness
The Lived Experience of Forgiveness: Phenomenological and Psychological Perspectives remedies the absence of systematic research on the experience of forgiveness by bringing together the work of five psychologists, one philosopher, and one theologian. The contributors have researched various aspects of forgiveness through interviews and field work, allowing for a clarification of this topic and providing a basis for evaluating the often-contradictory assertions of the existing literature. Edited by Steen Halling, this volume demonstrates the value of careful study of human experience by examining forgiveness in its various manifestations within a phenomenological framework that strives to set aside and question presuppositions—whether they be religious, philosophical, or psychological—and look at phenomena with fresh eyes. This approach enables a more creative and productive dialogue among the disciplines of psychology, theology, and philosophy, with experience as a common reference point, and thereby leads to a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of forgiveness.
The Challenges of Vatican II for an Authentic Indian Catholic Church
The Vatican II was an event of a new facelift for the entire edifice of the Catholic ecclesiology. It called for the renewal in the universal Catholic Church. This book deals with the question: How can the Catholic Church in India accept the council's challenge for renewal and become truly Indian in its being and essence? Undertaking a systematic examination of the post-conciliar ecclesiological development in the Indian Catholic Church, in its existential multi-religious and multi-cultural context, the author attempts to develop an ecclesiological reflection for the Indian context.
The Spirit of Peace
This book examines, in the midst of increasing violence in the Middle East, how the Holy Spirit is leading people of all religions into a new future and how God's outpouring Spirit must be considered to be the power of resistance to evil.
Theology, Empowerment, and Prison Ministry
In Theology, Empowerment, and Prison Ministry Meins G.S. Coetsier offers a new scholarly account of Karl Rahner’s theological anthropology and the prison pastorate with a contemporary expansion for meaning, seeking an antidote to the suffering and isolation of those incarcerated with a “theology of empowerment.” Drawing on prison ministry theorists and practitioners, and on the experiences of Viktor Frankl, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Etty Hillesum, the book argues that Rahner’s views on prison ministry are significant and encouraging but limited regarding the needs and demands of 21st-century prison ministry. In a convincing, perceptive, and groundbreaking study, Coetsier goes beyond Rahner with ecumenical and interreligious perspectives, reminding us all of our human dignity, of meaning and transformation, of our liberation, creativity, hope and community.
Religious Freedom in a Secular Age
Discover how to responsibly defend religious freedom for all without compromising your personal beliefs. Religious freedom is a bitterly contested issue that spills over into political, public, and online spheres. It's an issue that's becoming ever more heated, and neither of the global political polarities is interested in protecting it. While the political left is openly hostile toward traditional religion, the political right seeks to weaponize it. How can we ensure that "religious freedom" is truly about freedom of one's religion rather than serving an ethno-nationalist agenda? In Religious Freedom in a Secular Age, Michael Bird (New Testament scholar and author of Evangelical Theology) ...
The Rowman & Littlefield Handbook of Christianity in the Middle East
This work represents the current and most relevant content on the studies of how Christianity has fared in the ancient home of its founder and birth. Much has been written about Christianity and how it has survived since its migration out of its homeland but this comprehensive reference work reassesses the geographic and demographic impact of the dramatic changes in this perennially combustible world region. The Rowman & Littlefield Handbook of Christianity in the Middle East also spans the historical, socio-political and contemporary settings of the region and importantly describes the interactions that Christianity has had with other major/minor religions in the region.
Philosophy in the Islamic World
Philosophy in the Islamic World is a comprehensive and unprecedented four-volume reference work devoted to the history of philosophy in the realms of Islam, from its beginnings in the eighth century AD down to modern times. The focus of this fourth installment of the series, divided into two volumes, is the 19th and 20th centuries and geographically on the Arab countries, the Ottoman-Turkish region, Iran, and Muslim South Asia. During this time philosophy was pursued at Islamic institutions and increasingly in Western-style universities, but philosophy also had an impact beyond academia. In each chapter, an international expert on philosophy in this period explores the teachings of individua...
ORIENTierungen
Die Erkenntnis, wie stark der eigene Lebenskontext prägt, ist eine fundamentale Voraussetzung dafür, andere Kulturen zu verstehen und Pluralität zu leben. Der vorliegende Band nimmt dies zum Ausgangspunkt und geht dem "Phänomen Predigt" in seinen kulturellen, sozialen und konfessionellen Kontexten nach. Dazu werden zentrale, aber auch eher unbekannte Texte des Alten und Neuen Testaments jeweils aus deutschsprachiger und nahöstlicher Perspektive ausgelegt. Es eröffnen sich den Leserinnen und Lesern verschiedene theologische Denkweisen, die von schönen und auch schmerzhaften Erfahrungen erzählen, von großer Hoffnung und tiefem Glauben.
