Die Beziehung des um 350 n. Chr. geborenen Johannes Chrysostomus zum Apostel Paulus wurde in der alteren Forschung mit "Paulusliebe" und "Seelenverwandtschaft" beschrieben. Jenseits solcher psychologisierenden Zugange zeichnet Andreas Heiser durch sprachliche und historische Analyse der Epitheta, die Chrysostomus fur Paulus verwendet, die Inszenierung des Apostels als Musterasketen nach. Die Analyse der Paulusepitheta in vorausgehender christlicher Literatur wirft ein Licht auf die Kontinuitaten...
How did the visual, the oral, and the written interrelate in antiquity? The essays in this collection address the competing and complementary roles of visual media, forms of memory, oral performance, and literacy and popular culture in the ancient Mediterranean world. Incorporating both customary and innovative perspectives, the essays advance the frontiers of our understanding of the nature of ancient texts as regards audibility and performance, the vital importance of the visual in the compreh...

Die Bedeutung Des Erzieherischen Verhaeltnisses Bei Pestalozzi (Heidelberger Studien Zur Erziehungswissenschaft, #54)
Wie gestaltete Pestalozzi, als einer der massgeblichen Padagogen, den stets so beispielhaft harmonisch-aufbauenden Umfang mit seinen armen Zoeglingen? Warum blieben und bleiben seine padagogischen Ideen uber Generationen hinaus immerdar lebendig und wirksam? Welche Verflechtungen verbinden sein plebendig und wirksam? Welche Verflechtungen verbinden sein padagogisches Denken und Handeln mit dem Ganzen seiner Lebensgeschichte, speziell betreffend der pragenden Bezugspersonen? In Auseinandersetzung...

The Manifesto; Or a Declaration of the Doctine and Practice of the Church of Christ
by John Dunlavy
The Christian doctrine of heaven has been a moral source of enormous power in western culture. It has provided a striking account of the ultimate good in life and has for two millennia animated the hope that our lives can be fully meaningful. Recently, however, the doctrine of heaven has lost much of its grip on the western imagination and has become a vague and largely ignored part of the Christian creed. Not only have our hopes been redefined as a result, but our very identity as human bein...
In this study, the experience, spirituality and teaching of St Paul are made available for today. As we search for new ways of being Church, we can be inspired again by the earliest and perhaps greatest Christian writer of the first century. In particular, Paul of Tarsus models spirituality, pastoral practice and practical theology in a way that can be very helpful for todays believers. Through the prism of his experience, the light of Christ can be refracted again today, and just as pre...
The traditional devotion of our people to the Mass and the Blessed Sacrament is under considerable pressure today from various forces. One of these is a simple lack of understanding of the nature of the Christian Eucharist. That is the problem which Our Splendid Eucharist sets out to tackle. This is not a theological treatment of the subject, but a series of reflections, in simple language, on the main lines of our Eucharistic heritage. The book is divided into three sections. The first sect...
Thaumaturgic Prowess (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe, #491)
by Andrew J. Kelley
Andrew J. Kelley argues that Mark undergirds his high view of Jesus by characterizing him as a miracle-worker who does not defer to a deity in order to perform miracles. Survey work in the first half of this monograph shows that this is distinct from the many miracle-workers depicted in sources contemporary to the Gospel of Mark. Further emphasizing this distinction is the fact that all other miracle-workers in Mark either defer to the Jewish God or to Jesus to perform miracles. The author shows...
The writings of John are some of the most foundational New Testament documents for today's Christians. Most evangelical teaching about the life of Jesus begins with the Gospel of John, and Christian teaching on the end times relies heavily on the book of Revelation. Students, pastors, and lay learners need solid, up-to-date resources like this book to responsibly study and understand John's writings. C. Marvin Pate addresses John's writings according to their logical divisions: the Gospel of Joh...
