• Black Theology and Modern Economic Thought
• The Panthers Praxis from 1967-1971
• A Consideration of Praxis
• Ethics of Dismantling.

"In Black Theology and The Black Panthers, Joshua S. Bartholomew deals with the relationship between economic justice and racial equality. By examining the economic philosophies and inter-communal survival programs of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense from 1967-1971, Bartholomew utilizes a Womanist methodology to connect the praxis of The Panthers with priorities of Black Theological Ethics. In doing so, Bartholomew offers a basis for moving Christian ethicists away from normative models of economic justice that eschew experience and knowledge from marginalized communities. Ultimately, Bartholomew reveals how the power of racial politics for radical change can constructively and inclusively impact the struggle for freedom and social justice."-- Provided by publisher.

• Covenantal consent, part II : covenant theology and political legitimation in Thomas Hobbes' De Cive (1642) and Leviathan (1651)
• Conclusion : Early modern covenant theology and political thought in conversation.

"Covenant theology was a popular and controversial topic in early modern England. In particular, the biblical old covenant with Moses generated tremendous theological and political debates during the years of the English Civil Wars. And yet, the disciplinary boundaries of historical theology and the history of political thought make it hard to understand why early modern preachers and philosophers wrestled over this topic with such vigour. This interdisciplinary historical theological study explains the development of the covenant theology in the major works of Thomas Hobbes and his contemporaries, including Bishop Robert Sanderson and the puritan and presbyterian circles of the Westminster Assembly"-- Provided by publisher.

• Einleitung
• Untersuchungen zu De ciuitate dei XV-XVIII
• Ergebnisse.

"Augustin zeichnet in den Büchern XV-XVIII seines Werkes De ciuitate dei die Geschichte der Menschheit nach. Dabei sind es vor allem Erzählungen und Motive aus dem Alten Testament, die Augustin als Grundlage seiner Geschichtsdarstellung dienen. Innerhalb seiner Auslegungen der betreffenden biblischen Texte wird nicht nur Augustins spezifische Schrifthermeneutik deutlich, sondern es kommen auch zentrale Themen seiner Theologie zur Sprache. Raphael Zager untersucht die Rezeption des Alten Testaments, ordnet sie in ihre theologiegeschichtlichen Kontexte ein und entwickelt auf dieser Grundlage neue Antworten auf Fragen, die die Forschung zum Geschichtsdenken Augustins immer wieder beschäftigt haben. Dies betrifft etwa Augustins Bewertung des Tun-Ergehen-Zusammenhangs, seine Haltung gegenüber dem Gedanken eines Fortschritts in der Geschichte oder auch sein Verhältnis zum Judentum." --Provided by publisher

"A collection of 754 brief narratives, The Dialogue on Miracles is a translation of Caesarius of Heisterbach's Dialogus miraculorum. While these narratives, or exempla, were written primarily to pass on the moral teaching of the Bible and the Cistercian tradition to young monks, they provide modern readers a window into not only the lives of the first generations of Cistercian monks and nuns, but also of medieval German society and culture, secular and religious"-- Provided by publisher.

"An exploration of Søren Kierkegaard's influence on Karl Barth's theology." -- Provided by publisher.
"Karl Barth was often critical of Søren Kierkegaard's ideas as he understood them. But close reading of the two corpora reveals that Barth owes a lot to the melancholy Dane. Both conceive of God as infinitely qualitatively different from humans, and both emphasize the shocking nearness of God in the incarnation. As public intellectuals, they used this theological vision to protect Christocentric faith from political manipulation and compromise. For Kierkegaard, this meant criticizing the state church; for Barth, this entailed resisting Nazism. Meticulously crafted by a father-son team of renowned systematic theologians, Beyond Immanence demonstrates that Kierkegaard and Barth share a theological trajectory-one that resists cynical manipulation of Christianity for political purposes in favor of uncompromising devotion to a God who is radically transcendent yet established kinship with humanity in time." -- Publisher, inside front flap of dust jacket.

"This book calls Protestant churches, and the ELCA in particular, to a church-wide conversation about racism. It is a response to the 2019 book Dear Church by Lenny Duncan, a former Lutheran pastor who is Black and who, among other reparations, calls for changing the church's worship in order to address segregated Sundays. Changes in worship affect theological foundations. Informed consideration is essential. Because entering into life-changing conversations requires vulnerability and commitment, this book includes several narratives: my life as a White woman and pastor, the history of the Black church as defined by Black theologians, the development of the liturgical renewal movement, and my experiences as a professor navigating worship conflicts as my seminary struggled with financial constraints and a changing student body. The seminary conflicts offered me a window into how better to address racism inspired by the example of post-WWII German truth-telling and how some US Southern states have come to grips with the history of the Jim Crow South (described in Susan Neiman's Learning from the Germans). This book outlines a way forward for churches in responding to racism by encouraging healthy engagement with contentious relationships as a necessity for healing." -- Page 4 of cover.

"»Grau, guter Freund, ist alle Theorie und grün des Lebens goldner Baum.« Diesem von Mephisto in Goethes Faust ironisch vorgebrachten Vorbehalt gegenüber einer von Praxis abgeschiedenen Theorie kann die Theologie entkommen, insofern sie als »positive Wissenschaft« bereits in vielfältiger Weise auf die ihr vorausliegende religiöse Praxis bezogen ist, die sie kritisch reflektiert und auf die zugrundeliegenden Überzeugungen, Handlungsmaximen und Gestaltungsoptionen hin befragt. Dabei ist zunächst der Praxisbegriff in seinem komplexen Verhältnis zur Theorie zu klären. Gegenwärtige kulturwissenschaftliche und soziologische Diskurse zur Praxeologie setzen diesbezüglich neue Impulse, die auch die Theologie inspirieren können. Das möchten die Beiträge dieses Bandes aus der Kirchengeschichte (Peter Gemeinhardt), der Systematischen Theologie (Dirk Evers, Cornelia Richter) und der Praktischen Theologie (Martina Kumlehn) exemplarisch aufzeigen." --Provided by publisher
