A Call to Commitment
Deuteronomy 10:12-11:32 is a very important text for the book of Deuteronomy. However, it has not received an adequate exegetical treatment so far. The present study intends to meet this need. Following a synchronic approach Thomas Karimundackal examines the text exegetically and theologically in its context. He analyzes the text extensively by referring to its intense relationships within Deuteronomy and with other biblical books. He shows how Deuteronomy 10:12-11:32 serves as a hermeneutical key to understand and interpret the theology of Deuteronomy. As a transitional passage, it connects the former framework and the Law Code in Deuteronomy, and thus forms a bridge. In addition, it is repeatedly connected to the latter framework of Deuteronomy, and thus proves to be a hermeneutical key to the book. From a theological point of view, the unique statements about God in Deut 10 stand out. The author also reflects on the role of the community and the contemporary relevance of the text.

A Hermeneutical Investigation of Super-Primary Meaning in the Dvaita Vedānta of Madhva
This work is an in-depth study on the philosophy of Madhva, the Dvaita Vedānta. The Dvaita tradition, which chronologically comes after Advaita and Viśiṣṭādvaita, is one of the great Vedāntic schools. Madhva was a Hindu philosopher of the 12th century belonging to the Vaiṣṇava tradition, and emphatically established that Viṣṇu alone is the focal point of entire Vedic writings by employing an unparalleled hermeneutical technique known as “parama-mukhya-vṛtti” (the super-primary meaning) in all his writings. This study unearths this singular concept with the help of Madhva’s commentaries and related Dvaita literature. The book explores Madhva’s method of hermeneutics ...
Interculturality, Rationality and Dialogue
This work is a philosophical investigation into the argumentative conditions for intercultural dialogue in Latin America. Through a critical discussion of some key theories of argumentation and intercultural dialogue and a thoughtful analysis of the Latin-American context of diversity, this book develops an intercultural model of argumentation based on the criteria of Intercultural Reasonableness and Discursive Interpellation. These criteria, which have a contextual and dialogical character, aim to offer the appropriate normative ground for a polylogical argumentative dialogue, in which the parties can make use of their own types of language and rationality without presupposing a common standard for the rational evaluation of arguments.

Kostbarer Boden - Liebliches Land
Der Ackerboden war für die Menschen des alten Israel eine existentielle Bezugsgröße. Er war begrenzt und daher kostbar. Sie bebauten ihn unter Mühen, er wurde ihnen zur Wohnstätte und Lebensregion und hatte so auch für die Lebenswelt der Menschen eine eminente Bedeutung. Nicht umsonst betont die biblische Anthropologie, dass der Mensch ein "Bodenwesen" ist (Gen 2,7). Die Aufsätze dieses Bandes nehmen sich verschiedene "Felder" der Bodenbetrachtung vor. Er gliedert sich in sechs Themenbereiche: Ackerland, Grünland, Weinland, Gartenland, Heimatland und Gott als Land. Ziel ist es, aus den verschiedenen Ergebnissen und Aspekten der biblischen Boden- und Landvorstellungen Grundlinien einer Agrotheologie zu gewinnen, die den Geschöpfcharakter des Bodens herausstellt und auch Impulse für heutige Problemstellungen zum Boden und zum Land als Lebensregion von Menschen vermittelt.
Menschenrecht und Gottesweisung
Die Botschaft der Amosschrift reflektiert die bleibende Verantwortung und das reale Versagen des Gottesvolkes angesichts einer Grenzen überschreitenden Unmenschlichkeit. Diese Diagnose wird im Völkerspruchzyklus des Buches (Am 1-2) in komprimierter Weise zusammengefasst und an den Beginn des Buches und programmatisch auch an den Beginn des biblischen Phänomens der Schriftprophetie gestellt. Der Verfasser untersucht in seiner historisch-kritisch angelegten Arbeit die literarische Gestalt und die theologische Aussage dieser Kapitel, um die theologischen Traditionsprozesse aufzuhellen, die den Völkerspruchzyklus Am 1-2 beeinflussen. Als maßgebenden traditionsgeschichtlichen Hintergrund dieser Kapitel arbeitet er dabei die Urgeschichte des Jahwisten mit seinem Leitwort des Bruders heraus.
