An Ecumenical Odyssey
No less than two decades were needed for the composition of the ecumenical convergence document The Church: Towards a Common Vision (TCTCV) which was published by the World Council of Churches in 2013. The document was intended to reflect a common vision of churches and ecumenical stakeholders on a myriad of ecclesiological themes. The book investigates whether the convergence document TCTCV delivers on its promises. The book focuses on the formation and the reception of TCTCV along with the two draft versions, The Nature and Purpose of the Church (1998) and The Nature and Mission of the Church (2005) and uncovers whether the responses by the churches to TCTCV hold an affirmation of the convergences registered in the document. Furthermore, it seeks to establish whether the responses point towards a "common vision" concerning various ecclesiological themes that are still contested by the churches today. The book also explores whether the responses to TCTCV reveal an advancement in the conversation surrounding several debated issues, and examines to what extent the churches are willing to creatively engage with the ecclesial other.
On Nations and the Churches: Ecumenical Responses to Nationalisms and Migration / Nationen und Kirchen: Ökumenische Antworten auf Nationalismus und Migration
Kirchen in Europa haben eine spezifische Erfahrungs-Geschichte mit ihrer Verhältnisbestimmung zur Nation. Obwohl im Prinzip darüber einig, dass der christliche Glaube in seiner Grundtendenz von einem übernationalen, ja universalistischen Charakter geprägt ist, wird spätestens seit dem 19. Jahrhundert immer wieder gefragt, ob nicht doch Nation und nationale Identität zur Schöpfung Gottes gehören. Gegenwärtig wird das in den Kirchen Europas kontrovers diskutiert, eng verbunden mit Erfahrungen von Migration. "Nation" klingt anders für protestantische Minderheitskirchen als für orthodoxe oder römisch-katholische Kirche in ehemals kommunistischen Staaten und wieder anders für deutsch...

Gott und das junge Kind
Vor dem Hintergrund einer unzureichenden Wahrnehmung des jungen Kindes in der gegenwärtigen systematisch-theologischen Diskussion analysiert diese Arbeit zunächst die traditionell relevanten theologischen Aussagen in Verbindung mit dem jungen Kind hinsichtlich ihrer wesentlichen Inhalte. Dabei findet sie ihren Ausgang neben der biblischen Redeweise in der ontologischen Versöhnungslehre des Kirchenvaters Athanasius und in den Ausführungen Martin Luthers über den Kinderglauben („fides infantium“). Es werden nun die empirisch gestützten Aussagen der Bindungslehre und zur Säuglingskompetenz herangezogen, ferner die Ausführungen Daniel Sterns über das Selbstempfinden („sense of sel...
