The media's coverage of religion is an important question for academic researchers, given the central role which news media play in ensuring that people are up-to-date with religion news developments. Not only is there a lack of treatment of the subject in other countries, but there is also the absence of comparative study on news and religion. A key question is how the media, the political system, the religions themselves, the culture, and the economy influence how religion is reported in diffe...

Act and Being (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, #2)
by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The fresh, critical translation of the volume is now available in paper. Act and Being, written in 1929-1930 as Bonhoeffer's second dissertation, deals with the questions of consciousness and conscience in theology from the perspective of the Reformation insight about the origin of human sinfulness in the "heart turned in upon itself and thus open neither to the revelation of God nor to the encounter with the neighbor." Here, therefore, we find Bonhoeffer's thoughts about power, revelation, othe...
Dietrich Bonhoeffer publicly confronted Nazism and anti-Semitic racism in Hitler's Germany. The Reich's political ideology, when mixed with theology of the German Christian movement, turned Jesus into a divine representation of the ideal, racially pure Aryan and allowed race-hate to become part of Germany's religious life. Bonhoeffer provided a Christian response to Nazi atrocities. In this book author Reggie L. Williams follows Bonhoeffer as he defies Germany with Harlem's black Jesus. The Chri...

Biblical Natural Law: A Theocentric and Teleological Approach
by Perry Family Foundation Professor of Theology Matthew Levering
Despite the command from Christ to love your neighbour, Western Christianity has continued to be afflicted by the evil of racism and the acts of violence that accompany it. Through a systems theoretical and deconstructive account of religion and the political theology of St. Paul, this book traces how the racism and violence of modern Western Christianity is a symptom of its failure to secure its own myth of sovereignty within a complex world of plurality. Divided into three sections, the book...
Responsibility as Emmanuel Levinas's Mission to the Gentiles
by John Turner Kilzer
Die EKD, die die deutschen evangelischen Kirchen seit ihrer Grundung integriert, aussert sich oft mit kirchlichen Stellungnahmen zu politischen, okonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Problemen. Solche Bemuhungen der EKD spiegeln eine grundlegende Anderung ihres Verhaltnisses zum Politischen wider. Die deutschen evangelischen Kirchen empfanden einerseits ihre Fehler im Dritten Reich sehr schmerzlich. Andererseits wollten sie sich in der von den Westalliierten eingefuhrten Demokratie bewahren. Der V...
