Die Kirchengeschichte (Die Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller Der Ersten Jahr, N.F. 6)
These are not obscure teachers that Hanegraaff unmasks. We know their names. We have seen their faces, sat in their churches, and heard them shamelessly preach and promote the false pretexts of a give-to-get gospel. They are virtual rock stars who command the attention of presidential candidates and media moguls. Through make-believe miracles, urban legends, counterfeit Christs, and twisted theological reasoning, they peddle an occult brand of metaphysics that continues to shipwreck the faith of...
Although there have been many regional studies of the proprietary church or particular aspects of it, this is the first extensive study of it covering most of western Europe, from the end of the Roman Empire in the West to about 1200. The book aims at a broad survey in varying degrees of intensity and with a shifting geographical focus; and it asks questions that are as much social and religious as legal or administrative. The book vindicates, for village and estate churches, Ulrich Stutz's...

Writings and Drafts II. Lectures III. Sermons IV. Translat...
Ausgehend von der These, dass es sich bei den Neuen Religiosen Bewegungen nur um die Spitze des Eisberges eines viel breiter angelegten Protestpotentials handelt, werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zu Neuen Sozialen Bewegungen hergestellt. Das besondere Anliegen der vorliegenden Untersuchung besteht zum einen im Aufzeigen kultureller, religioser und sozialer Zusammenhange, zum anderen im Aufdecken verzerrender Klischees und Vorurteile, die sich nicht nur in Etikettierungen wie -Jugendreligi...
Millennialism in the Korean Protestant Church (Asian Thought and Culture, #50)
by Ung Kyu Pak
This volume presents contributions of the Catholic-Lutheran International Conference held at the Pontifical Athenaeum of St. Anselm in Rome in 2016. The scholars were invited to reflect together on the questions of forgiveness, conversion and penance in the context of the ecumenical dialogue that has been going on since the Second Vatican Council. Precisely because stemming from a deep rethinking of God's forgiveness, the movement that began half a millennium ago has borne diverse fruits in diff...
The Contested Legacy of Vatican II (Louvain Theological & Pastoral Monographs, Volume 43)
The Second Vatican Council was the most important event in the Roman Catholic Church in the twentieth century. In line with Pope John XXIII's desire for aggiornamento it searched for ways to enable the Church to meet the challenges of the times and thus prepare a future for Christian faith and life. This search for renewal met with opposition during the Council and its reception process up to the current day. In this volume authors known for the...

Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils
This monumental two-volume publication brings together in the original languages and an English translation, all the decrees of all the ecumenical councils from Nicaea I to Vatican II. As such it represents an indispensable reference work for theologians and historians, as well as for anyone interested in the development of Christian thought and doctrine. Indeed, these decrees represent the authoritative distillation of Christian tradition which itself is bound together with scripture "in a clos...
This book provides a constructive analysis of Thomas F. Torrance's ecclesiology. Holding the doctrine of the Trinity to be the "ground and grammar of theology," Torrance viewed the doctrine of the Trinity as foundational for all ecclesiological reflection: What does it mean to be the people of the God whom Christians name as Father, Son, and Spirit? Tyler examines Torrance's development of the rich potential of the metaphor koinonia, involving both a vertical dimension--the Church's union with C...
What can man know about God? This question became one of the main problems during the 4th-century Trinitarian controversy, which is the focus of this book. Especially during the second phase of the conflict, the claims of Anomean Eunomius caused an emphatic response of Orthodox writers, mainly Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa. Eunomius formulated two ways of theology to show that we can know both the substance (ousia) and activities (energeiai) of God. The Orthodox Fathers demonstrated tha...
Perfection in Death brings together topics-Christian martyrdom, virtue ethics, the "ethics of the end of life"-that have each seen a flowering of academic interest in the past two decades. Patrick M. Clark shows that these topics are in fact closely connected by examining one of the pre-eminent masters of Christian ethics, Thomas Aquinas. Perfection in Death compares and contrasts the relationship between conceptions of courage and death in the thought of Aquinas and his ancient philosophical s...
