The Human Person in Theology and Psychology
by James R Beck and Bruce Demarest
Modern humanity has accepted a truncated, impoverished definition of life. Focusing solely on material realities, we have forgotten that joy, purpose, and meaning come from a life that is both immersed in the temporal and alive to the transcendent. We have, in other words, ceased to live in God. In this book, renowned theologian Jurgen Moltmann shows us what that life of joy and purpose looks like. Describing how we came to live in a world devoid of the ultimate, he charts a way back to an inti...

The Role of Worldview in Missions and Multiethnic Ministry
by Glenn Rogers
The present book is an attempt to grapple with Yoder's critics in order to decide how to move forward with a revised "Yoderian" theology. Pitts suggests how that revision should be accomplished by first providing an overview of the current state of Yoder scholarship and this book's place within it; then proposing an argument that Yoder's theology can profitably read as a "sociological theology" that exhibits reductive tendencies, but which can be revised to be non-reductive; and finally offering...
Die vorliegende Eroerterung ist einem heute oft vernachlassigten Element gewidmet: der Wahrnehmung. Deren Gegenstand ist hier die Frau in der Kirche. Geduldig beobachtend findet der Autor, dass Forderungen nach einer absoluten beruflichen Gleichstellung und nach dem hierarchischen Priesteramt der Frau gerade am Charisma der Frau vorbeigehen und die Einschlaferung ihrer wirklichen Krafte weitertreiben. Es muss ein radikaler Wechsel im Hinschauen erfolgen, eben eine starke OEffnung der Wahrnehmung...
Freedom in Response (Oxford Studies in Theological Ethics)
by Oswald Bayer
The leitmotif of Freedom in Response, as the title suggests, is a reasoned exposition of the nature of freedom, as it is presented in the Bible and developed by such later theologians as Martin Luther. Oswald Bayer considers Luther's teachings on pastoral care, marriage, and the three estates, bringing in Kant and Hegel as conversation partners, together with Kant's friend and critic, the innovative theologian and philosopher Johann Georg Hamann. Oswald Bayer is a major contemporary Lutheran th...
Das Grundanliegen aller Identitatsforschung in ethischer Perspektive lasst sich in der Frage zusammenfassen: "Wie kann der Mensch unter der Voraussetzung eines ihm je unverwechselbar eigenen, genetisch bestimmten biopsychischen Potentials im Entfaltungshorizont der jeweiligen seine Lebenschancen ermoeglichenden soziokulturellen Dispositionen und Erwartungen zur UEbereinstimmung mit sich selbst gelangen?" (Gerfried W. Hunold). Angesichts dieser Problemanzeige beleuchten die Beitrage dieses Bandes...
Reality of the Mind, The: St Augustine's Philosophical Arguments for the Human Soul as a Spiritual Substance
This book deals with the reception of original sin by the people in the pews. In the years following World War II, American Protestantism experienced tremendous growth, but conventional wisdom holds that midcentury Protestants practiced an optimistic, progressive, complacent, and materialist faith. In ""Original Sin and Everyday Protestants"", historian Andrew Finstuen argues against this prevailing view, showing that theological issues in general - and the ancient Christian doctrine of original...
