The Concept of Environment in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
On the seventh day, God rested and thus completed his creation. Likewise, man should rest on the seventh day and every seven years leave the fields fallow to rest. If you like, a divine economic and environmental programme is encountered here. "Subdue the earth" is not to be misunderstood as a mandate to subjugate and exploit, but on the contrary as a call to preserve God's "very good" creation. Its current explosiveness illustrates precisely this fundamental relationship. Even secular circles now speak of the "integrity of creation" as a matter of course. And in Muslim countries, scholars and activists are preparing to launch a "green Islam", based of course on Quranic principles. At the sa...
The Concept of Soul in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
This volume of the series "Key Concepts in Interreligious Discourses" investigates the roots of the concept of "soul" in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The human soul fascinates not only believers in the three monotheistic faiths. Believing in an immortal entitiy, surpassing body, materia and their temporality and thus seeming to be closer to the creator that the mere body was and remains to be a vividly discussed theme in theological and practical debates. Even our secular, postreligious environment is unable to disengage from the key concept of the soul. Numerous proverbs, undefined concepts and hopes prove this fact. Asking for the soul means asking fundamental questions like life after...
The Concept of Economy in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
The present volume of Key Concepts in Interreligious Discourses offers a fascinating insight into the history, the main ideas and current developments in economic thought from the perspective of the three major monotheistic faiths Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The reader encounters topics such as price control in rabbinic Judaism, Christian monks elaborating the foundations of modern accounting, and the latest innovations in Islamic banking. Each article has been written by a renowned expert on the subject and offers a historical overview over the development of the concept, the theological and philosophical principles in the Holy Scriptures of each faith, an outline of the practical application of the concept in the present, its significance for the future, and many more.
Prinz Max von Sachsen
Prinz Max von Sachsen (1871–1951), der jüngste Bruder des letzten sächsischen Königs, ist eine historische Wiederentdeckung ersten Ranges. Sein konsequentes Engagement für Frie-den und gegen Krieg ragen in einer Zeit heraus, welche sich begeistert in die Schlachten des Ersten Weltkrieges stürzte. Als katholischer Priester und Theologieprofessor trat er gegen den Widerstand Roms für die Begegnung von Ost- und Westkirche auf Augenhöhe ein. Seine Menschlichkeit, sein Einsatz für die Natur, die Bewahrung der Schöpfung, seine Liebe zu den Tieren könnten aktueller nicht sein. Seiner Zeit voraus oder Kind seiner Zeit? Die Autoren dieses Tagungsbandes beleuchten eindrücklich die vielfältigen Facetten des so ungewöhnlichen Wettiners und stellen Prinz Max als Menschen vor, der aus seiner Zeit heraus verstanden werden muss und gleichzeitig über seine Zeit hinausweist.
The Concept of Peace in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
The eighth volume of the series "Key Concepts of Interreligious Discourses" investigates the roots of the concept of "peace" in Judaism, Christianity and Islam and its relevance for the present time. Facing present violent conflicts waged and justified by religious ideas or reasons, peace building prevails in current debates about religion and peace. Here the central question is: How may traditional sources in religions help to put down the weapons and create a society in which everyone can live safely without hostilities and the threat of violence? When we take the Sacred Scriptures of Judaism, Christianity and Islam into consideration it becomes obvious that the term "peace" and its equiva...
CARS 2000
Hardbound. Over the centuries, the macroscopic view of the human being has been enhanced with an anatomical and functional degree of detail, such that no physician can no longer memorise this wealth of information. With modern imaging tools, the information which may be obtained from a particular patient will move further from the macroscopic to the microscopic detail. This information will neither be imprinted on film or paper nor stored in the PC, but will, rather, reside on the network. Intelligent processing and management of this imaging information contributes to new possibilities for computer assisted diagnosis and therapy.CARS 2000 focuses on these computer and communication tools. Radiologists, surgeons, computer scientists and engineers from over 40 countries are actively supporting these aims of CARS. This demonstrates that advancing patient care is best served by international and interdisciplinary cooperation, and this publicatio
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.
"Tradition ist nicht die Anbetung der Asche, sondern die Weitergabe des Feuers"
"Raban - Bildung in Bewegung" mit diesem Motto beteiligten sich die Theologische Fakultät Fulda, ihre Bibliothek und das Institut Bibliotheca Fuldensis an der Bewerbung Fuldas und Petersbergs um das Europäische Kultursiegel. Schlüsselfigur dieses Projekts ist Rabanus Maurus, der an der Wende zum 9. Jahrhundert als Abt des Klosters Fulda und als Gelehrter ein Bildungsnetzwerk von europäischer Dimension aufgebaut hat. Die vielen schriftlichen Zeugnisse dieser Zeit sind Grundlage für das Verständnis der mittelalterlichen Geisteswelt bis heute und werden in einer neuen Forschungsplattform zur virtuellen Rekonstruktion der im Zuge des 30jährigen Krieges zerstörten Fuldaer Klosterbibliothek sichtbar. Der Band versammelt die Vorträge des Kontaktstudiums im WS 2021/2022 mit Beiträgen von Thomas Böhm, Andreas Nievergelt, Gereon Becht-Jördens, Alessandra Sorbello Staub, Berthold Jäger und Cornelius Roth.
The Forty Parables of Jesus
2022 Catholic Media Association first place award in scripture: academic studies In this book, which covers all of Jesus’ parables, award-winning author Gerhard Lohfink takes a closer look at the origins of each one—its shape, its realistic details, but most of all its original message and the situation into which it was once spoken. Jesus’ parables speak in bold images of the kingdom of God, making it present to us as they reveal something of the mystery of his own person. Lohfink also offers a review of some of the scholarship in this area—as this topic has sustained research on Jesus since the first telling of these stories—but not for the purposes of debate. His reflections interpret the forty parables and show how they speak of the coming of the reign of God, lead us to Jesus, and reveal the mystery of Jesus himself.
Absolute Poverty and Global Justice
Absolute poverty causes about one third of all human deaths, some 18 million annually, and blights billions of lives with hunger and disease. Developing universalizable norms aimed at tackling absolute poverty and the complex and multilayered problems associated with it, this book considers the levels, trends and determinants of absolute poverty and global inequality. Examining whether much faster progress against absolute poverty is possible through reductions in national and global inequalities that produce economic growth for poor countries and households, this book suggests that diverse moral views imply that international agencies as well as the citizens, corporations and governments of...
