As celebrations of the five-hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther's initiation of the most dramatic reform movement in the history of Christianity approach, 47 essays by historians and theologians from 15 countries provide insight into the background and context, the content, and the impact of his way of thought. Nineteenth-century Chinese educational reformers, twentieth-century African and Indian social reformers, German philosophers and Christians of many traditions on every continent have found in Luther's writings stimulation and provocation for addressing modern problems. This volume offers studies of the late medieval intellectual milieus in which his thought was formed, the hermeneu...
The author of numerous previous books of broad appeal and scholarly acclaim on subjects ranging from sociological theory to religious ethics in government and economic systems, and the coauthor of a vastly influential treatise on The Social Construction of Reality, Berger unfolds in Redeeming Laughter a new perspective on a classic domain. Berger's comic terrain is at once noble and amusing, the terrain of Erasmus and Swift. Like his predecessors', Berger's writing in these pages is bolstered with exemplary learning and wry observation.
A collection of documents and photographs published by the Third Reich to generate public outrage that would justify its invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. Clashes between Polish nationalists and ethnic Germans in the border regions were skewed and sometimes fabricated by the Nazi government in order to present Polish "aggression" as an existential threat to the German people.

Kirchliche Weltanschauungsarbeit im Sinne einer dialogischen Apologetik versucht beides zusammenzuhalten: "Dialog und Unterscheidung", dialogische Offenheit und die Bereitschaft zur öffentlichen Rechenschaft über den christlichen Glauben. "Unterscheidungen haben etwas Heilsames an sich" (Reinhard Hempelmann). Dieses Buch mit dem schönen Titel "Schule der Unterscheidung" bildet in 36 Beiträgen nicht nur einen aktuellen Stand der Weltanschauungsarbeit in den evangelischen Landeskirchen einschließlich römisch-katholischer Perspektiven ab, sondern zeigt auch die Resonanz kirchlicher Weltanschauungsarbeit im akademischen Raum auf. Grundsätzliche theologische Themen, religiös-weltanschauli...
In this volume twenty-two studies published by Willy Evenepoel in international journals and collections during the period 1978-2010 have been brought together, namely two general contributions (one about the study of early Christian poetry, another about the place of poetry within Late Antique Christianity), fourteen contributions on Prudentius, five on Paulinus Nolanus' Carmina natalicia and, finally, one on Dracontius' De laudibus Dei. The collection does not only enhance the availability of the contributions in question, it also allows the readers to get a better perspective on the interconnection between the contributions at hand. The author has added extra value to the collection by supplying indices and also by adding a large critical survey of the recent research on the subjects that are dealt with in the collection.
