The past three decades have witnessed a significant transatlantic and trans-disciplinary resurgence of interest in the early nineteenth-century Protestant theologian and philosopher, Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834). As the first major Christian thinker to theorize religion in a post-Enlightenment context and re-conceive the task of theology accordingly, Schleiermacher holds a seminal place in the histories of modern Christian thought and the modern academic study of religion alike. Whereas his "liberalism" and humanism have always made him a controversial figure among theological...

Die Studie erortert Darstellung und Pragung raumlicher Erfahrung im religiosen sowie im kognitionspsychologischen Kontext. Dazu werden "religiose" und "technische" Erfahrung anhand des Ansatzes von Kuno Lorenz zum Erwerb von Handlungskompetenzen (im Anschluss an C.S. Peirce) verglichen, Zeitlichkeit personaler Identitat nach Paul Ricoeur mit einem "narrativen Schematismus" beschrieben und dieses Modell der Mimesis, ausgehend von dem "Satz vom Widerspruch," auf die Raumlichkeit und Widerstandigkeit der Person hin erganzt.

Die "narrative Mimesis" lasst sich als fur den religiosen...

Current discussions on the meaning and objective of religious education in schools are also debating the denominational profile of such education. This study aims to determine this profile more precisely by defining religious didactics as part of the exercise of Christian faith. Thus, the study not only links religious learning with the Christian practice of faith but also provides guidance in determining and ascertaining this practice of faith in learning processes. In doing so, the study makes a statement from a Catholic perspective on the learnability of faith.

The renowned Christian theologian Bernard Lonergan was also a professor, teaching courses on theological method at universities in Canada, the United States, and Italy. This volume records his lectures and teaching materials, thus preserving and elucidating his intellectual development between the publication of Insight in 1957 and Method in Theology in 1972.

The present volume contains a record of the lectures delivered in 1962 (Regis College, Toronto), 1964 (Georgetown University), and 1968 (Boston College). This is the most 'interactive' volume yet published in...

Though trinitarian theology has enjoyed a resurgence of interest in the last few years, there is a lamentable lacuna in much of this study, a gap between intellectual rigor and concrete experience. While the contributions of Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas are important to any foundational study of the Trinity, a strictly philosophical and scholastic approach has proved to be both contentious and problematic. As a result, many are left wanting for more meaningful expressions of this profound mystery. Anne Hunt fills this lacuna and offers a fresh avenue of reflection. She explores...
