Feminist Interpretation
In the hundred years since The Women's Bible, giant strides have been made in feminist interpretation of the Bible. Now comes the first comprehensive overview of the whole field. The authors systematically recount those efforts to describe the story of women in both testaments, to uncover tendencies not supportive of women, and to describe biblical traditions that empower women. The book unfolds in three parts: -- Historical, Hermeneutical, and Methodological Foundations-- Toward a Feminist Reconstruction of the History of Israel-- Toward a Feminist Reconstruction of Early Christianity

Innovative Approaches to Religious Education
A superb collection of contemporary research on German-language religious education. Professor Julian Stern, Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, UK Although specific contexts differ between and within countries, the issues and challenges regarding religious education in schools are essentially the same worldwide. It is therefore very valuable and relevant that this volume makes the rich insights and approaches to religious education developed and brought together by German scholars available to a wider audience. Professor Gerdien Bertram-Troost, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands This volume can function as a toolkit for teachers aiming to equip the younger generations with skills and competences needed in navigating their paths to good life. Professor Arniika Kuusisto, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland These reflections speak directly to the difficulties of teaching religious education both in Germany and internationally.

Niki de Saint-Phalle - Kunst als Lebensprinzip?
Inhaltsangabe:Zusammenfassung: In dieser Arbeit soll gezeigt werden, wie in der Literatur Kunst und Leben im Falle Niki de Saint Phalles zu einem festen Grundsatz zusammengebracht werden und worauf ihre sprichwörtliche Sonderstellung basiert. Weiterhin wird betrachtet, auf welcher Grundlage etwa eine Behauptung zustande kommt, wie z.B. Niki de Saint Phalle sei insofern einzigartig, als ihr Leben in der Kunst so ganz natürlich aufgegangen ist - wie die Lotusblüte im Wasser eines Sees. Es soll die Motivation zur Verwendung der Worte "Kunst als Lebensprinzip" im Fall dieser Künstlerin erhellt werden; außerdem soll gezeigt werden, als welches Mittel die Kunst dieser Künstlerin dient, und w...

Yves Klein
Yves Klein was regarded as a visionary even by his contemporaries. An enfant terrible and outstanding judo enthusiast whose spectacular performances attracted considerable attention in the art world, Klein created a following that only intensified in the wake of his premature death. Having anticipated numerous movements such as Happenings, Performance, Land and Body Art, and Conceptual Art, Klein's manifold oeuvre, realized within a period of only eight years, continues to exercise a decisive influence to this day. This comprehensive retrospective, presented by the Schirn Kunsthalle gallery in Frankfurt, includes over 100 works representing Klein's entire career from his first monochromes in orange, yellow, green, pink, black, and white, to his famous Klein blue monochromes, his sponge relief sculptures, his much-discussed Anthropometries, for which he used female models as live brushes, his monogold paintings, and his last experiments with fire and elements of nature.
