This volume introduces an important concept which hitherto has not gotten the recognition it deserves. The concept simul, the idea of a both-and in theology, is primarily associated with the Lutheran understanding of justification. The formula simul iustus et peccator is a shorthand for the nucleus and heart of the Reformation. But the concept, which implies a tension or even a paradox, appears to play a significant role in other areas of theological reflection. This volume highlights a number of areas in which this idea historically has played an important role, as well as its potential in the contemporary conversation. The aim of the work is to provide an informed and readable introduction to the simul concept in various areas of systematical theology and Biblical exegesis.
In 1933 a group of theological students in Berlin asked Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Hermann Sasse to work together with other theologians to come up with a confession that could be used to challenge nazi ideology and its inroads into the church bodies of Germany through the so-called "German Christians" who wanted to reshape Christianity into a worship of German ethnicity. The result was the August Bethel Confession named after the town in which Sasse and Bonhoeffer worked together. Unfortunately, church bureaucrats got a hold of it and watered it down, and then it was forgotten for the Barmen Declaration what was much more heavily influenced by Reformed theology and concerns and failed to even ...

In order to investigate how climate efforts and competitiveness are connected in the Nordic region, CEO's and top management of some of the leading companies in the five countries have been interviewed. According to the interviews, the Nordic region can contribute to reaching the Paris Agreement. Climate change is top of mind of CEOs, chairs and top-level management in Nordic companies, and contributing to reaching global climate goals is not only altruistic. Almost all companies say that climate efforts can boost competitiveness. There is strong support for the Nordic region to be front runners in global climate efforts and acting together to push the EU to adapt more ambitious climate policies. The interviewed companies have approximately 540 000 employees. The aggregated revenue of the companies is around 200 billion EUR, corresponding to 17 percent of the GDP of the Nordic region.

Ingen har vunnet mer enn Marit Bjørgen. Hun er tidenes vinterolympier. Landets største forbilde og mest populære utøver. Hva er det med denne beskjedne, tilsynelatende helt vanlige jenta som gjør henne til den råeste utøveren i hele den norske langrennshistorien? Denne boka er Marit Bjørgens tilbakeblikk på et liv som langrennsløper. Her møter vi den ti år gamle jenta som lurer på om hun kan bli best i verden. Vi følger den unge utøveren som vinner alle sprintrenn, før hun går på den store smellen og vurderer om hun skal legge opp. Vi får et unikt innblikk i endringen som gjorde henne til en ubestridt ener. Og vi blir kjent med Marit Bjørgen, slik hun er i dag. Åpent og ærlig forteller hun om livet på landslaget, treningsgleden og verdiene som ligger i bunn for livet hun har hun levd. Om veien fra å være den yngste på laget, til å bli den åpenbare lederen på verdens beste landslag. Hvilke tanker hun har gjort seg underveis, for seg selv, om det som blir sagt og skrevet om henne. Og hvilke tanker hun gjør seg nå i ettertid, om utviklingen av idretten, både for unge og voksne utøvere.
Doping-skandaalin merkitsemä hiihtäjälegenda. Therese Johaugin oma kertomus huikean hiihtouran vaiheista, kirkkaimmista huipuista ja elämän synkimmistä hetkistä. Therese Johaug on kiistämättä yksi maastohiihdon kirkkaimpia tähtiä. Vuosina 2007–2021 hän voitti 4 olympiakultaa ja 14 maailmanmestaruutta. Saavutus, joka hakee vertaistaan. Therese Johaug muistetaan kuitenkin parhaiten vuoden 2016 positiivisesta dopingtestistä. Hän jäi kiinni kiellettyä ainetta sisältävän huulivoiteen käytöstä ja sai 18 kuukauden kilpailukiellon. Dopingin jälkeiset vuodet olivat Therese Johaugin uran raskaimmat. Hän kertoo avoimesti, miltä tuntui, kun kilpakumppanit ja osa suuresta ylei...
