Less than a year after the end of authoritarian rule in 1998, huge images of Jesus Christ and other Christian scenes proliferated on walls and billboards around a provincial town in eastern Indonesia where conflict had arisen between Muslims and Christians. A manifestation of the extreme perception that emerged amid uncertainty and the challenge to seeing brought on by urban warfare, the street paintings erected by Protestant motorbike-taxi drivers signaled a radical departure from the aniconic...
Der Streit Der -Toechter Gottes- (Europaeische Hochschulschriften / European University Studie, #41)
by Eduard Johann Mader
This book focuses on Blaise Pascal's Pensees, an apology for Christianity, which is regarded as Pascal's crowning achievement. Professor Charles Sherrard MacKenzie maintains that the lens best enabling us to understand Pensees is his fragment on the three orders of life: mental, material, and spiritual.

Gott Und Der Welt Gefallen (Europaeische Hochschulschriften / European University Studie, #1630)
by Klaus Hofbauer
Im hohen Mittelalter wird uber einen begrenzten Zeitraum in der deutschen didaktischen Dichtung und Epik oft die Wendung -Gott und der Welt gefallen- vorgetragen. Bei dem im damaligen Denken angenommenen dualistischen Gott-Welt-Kontrast erscheint das Auftauchen dieser harmonisierenden Formel unvermutet. Die Arbeit untersucht, ob dies zutrifft. Einmal wird die Deutung analoger Bibelstellen von den Kirchenvatern bis in die Predigt des Mittelalters durchgesehen. Darauf erfolgt eine Kontext-Analyse...
In Subjectivity of 'Differance', Heecheon Jeon carefully explores the question of living well together in the midst of myriad differences and otherness in our living world. Living well together is not a concept void of naive togetherness of various subjectivities, but rather the disclosure of the repressive subjectivity to welcome "strangers to ourselves" by sacrificing the very subjectivity. To this end, Jeon not only delves into the deconstruction of subjectivity, but also searches for poietic...
