Zwischen 1901 und 1914 publizierte Ernst Troeltsch 150 Rezensionen zu Neuerscheinungen in Theologie, Philosophie, Sozialwissenschaften und Kulturgeschichte. Viele dieser haufig an weit entlegenen Orten publizierten Texte waren bisher nicht bekannt. Sie bieten nicht nur faszinierende Einblicke in Troeltschs Denkwerkstatt, sondern erschlieen auch neue Perspektiven auf die im Heidelberger Gelehrtenmilieu gefuhrten Debatten uber die Kulturbedeutung von Religion und Christentum. Troeltsch rezensierte Texte von James, Simmel und Rickert, schrieb einen groen Nachruf auf seinen Freund Georg...

Ontology and Providence in Creation critically examines a particular Leibnizean inspired understanding of God's creation of the world and proposes that a different understanding should be adopted. The Leibnizean argument proposes that God's understanding encompassed a host of possible worlds, only one of which he actualized. This proposition is the current orthodoxy when philosopher and theologians talk about the philosophical understanding of creation.

Mark Robson argues that this commits the Leibnizean to the notion that possibility is determinate. He proposes that this...

Written not by a journalist or politician but rather by a theology professor with a Ph.D. in New Testament studies, Voting as a Christian: The Social Issues begins with the assumption that God intended the Bible to give guidance to every area of life--including how governments should function. Derived from author Wayne Grudem's magisterial Politics--According to the Bible, this book highlights those social issues that have dominated political debate recently. Throughout, author Wayne Grudem supports political positions that would be called more "conservative" than "liberal." However, "it...

Dieser interdisziplinar angelegte Sammelband erkundet die Relevanz wissenschaftlicher Erhellungen der Lebenswelt fur Systematische und Praktische Theologie. Dazu begibt er sich in ein Gesprach mit philosophischer Phanomenologie, Religionsphilosophie und Sozialwissenschaft. Die einzelnen Beitrage markieren aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven das Interesse von Theologie an "Gelebter Religion." Abgeleitet wird daraus die Bedeutung der Phanomenologie fur die Konstitution der Praktischen Theologie.

Zwei der bedeutendsten um im Folgenden besonders einflussreichen Horer des Religionsphilosophen und Theologen Ernst Troeltsch aus der Heidelberger Zeit, die Dichterin Gertrud von le Fort (1876-1971) und der Theologe Friedrich Gogarten (1887-1967), die sich 1911/12 begegnet waren, traten nach drei Jahren in einen zunehmend vertrauensvollen Briefwechsel und eine familiare Beziehung zueinander. Ihre Korrespondenz reicht uber die Kriegszeit, krisenhafte Kirchenzustande und die Verhaltnisse im untergehenden Kaiserreich mit allen Facetten der Not und Orientierungslosigkeit hin zu den...

Moving beyond traditional ways of reading Karl Barth, William Stacy Johnson proposes an approach that makes Barth relevant for the postmodern period. Recognizing Barth's insight that God is mystery, he suggests that theology is best seen not as a restating of old orthodoxies but as an ongoing response to that divine mystery. Johnson's reassessment of Barth opens exciting possibilities for a new appropriation of Barth's insights for contemporary theology and the church.

In our daily lives we make lots of evaluations of actions. We think that driving above the speed limit is dangerous, that giving up one's bus seat to the elderly is polite, that stirring eggs with a plastic spoon is neither good nor bad. We understand, too, that we may be praised or blamed for actions performed on the basis of these evaluations. The goal of this study is to illustrate the foundations that allow for these kinds of judgments.

From scholarly monographs to papal homilies, Joseph Ratzinger has insisted consistently over decades that Christianity is not a set of ideas to believe or, even less, moral laws to follow. Rather, Christianity is about a person and our encounter with that person.

In "The Word Made Love," Christopher Collins identifies in the structure of Ratzinger's thought the presentation of God as one who speaks and who ultimately speaks Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Humanity's posture before God is one of hearing and responding. For Ratzinger, then, dialogue is the basic structure of al...
