        Why Be a Christian Today?

        by Elisabeth Zoll / Thomas Seiterich (eds.)

        The exciting texts and reports by professing Christians offer a fresh perspective for all those who have cultivated a Christian spirituality for many years. However, the book also provides easy access for those who are newly interested in the Christian faith. There are probably as many professions of Christian faith as there are believers in the world. But what do Christians think and how have they been moulded? Elisabeth Zoll and Thomas Seiterich have compiled very personal ideas about the Christian faith in this book. When selecting the contributors, the editors deliberately chose not to include people with church offices or specialised theologians. Irrespective of church policy issues and church scandals, the contributors have provided insights into their path to faith.

        by Christian Morgenstern, Thomas Kluge

        Christian Morgenstern wurde am 6. Mai 1871 in München geboren. 1892/93 begann er ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften an der Universität Breslau, das er bald abbrach. Er zog nach Berlin und war dort als Journalist, Kultur- und Literaturkritiker und Redakteur tätig und veröffentlichte zahlreiche Beiträge und Glossen in Zeitschriften. Sein erster von seinen insgesamt vierzehn Lyrik-Bänden In Phantas Schloß erschien 1895. In der Folgezeit beschäftigte er sich mit der Übersetzung und Herausgabe der Werke von August Strindberg und Henrik Ibsen und schrieb für Max Reinhardts Berliner Kabarett »Schall und Rauch«. Von 1903 bis 1905 war er Redakteur der Zeitschrift »Das Theater« im Verlag von Bruno Cassirer, für den er auch als freier Lektor arbeitete. 1909 schloß sich Morgenstern dem Kreis der antroposophischen Gesellschaft um Rudolf Steiner an. Am 31. März 1914 starb er in Meran / Italien an den Folgen einer Tuberkulose-Erkrankung.

        Conservatism, Christian Democracy and the dynamics of transformation

        Traditions, cooperation and influence in North-West Europe, 1945-91

        by Gary Love, Christian Egander Skov

        Conservatism, Christian Democracy, and the Dynamics of Transformation compares the centre-right political traditions of Britain, the Nordic countries, France, West Germany, and Austria and looks for evidence of political cooperation and influence across borders during the period 1945-90. The book explores howa variety of intellectuals, politicians, and political parties transformed their politics in response to major economic, social, and political challenges and seeks to explain why conservatives and Christian democrats came to feel that they belonged to a wider centre-right political family by the end of this period. It also examines why these political traditions found it difficult to cooperate with each other after the Second World War and why they decided to invest more political capital in inter-party relations and wider transnational projects from the 1960s. As the book shows, these developments resulted in two new centre-right internationals: the European Democrat Union and the International Democrat Union.

        Die Ironie der Unverständlichkeit

        Johann Georg Hamann, Friedrich Schlegel, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man

        by Eckhard Schumacher

        Seit jeher haben sich Rhetorik, Poetik, Hermeneutik und Kritik dem Ideal der Verständlichkeit verschrieben. Unverständlich hingegen gilt von vornherein als Mangel. Was aber geschieht, wenn Autoren den Vorwurf der Unverständlichkeit nicht einfach zurückweisen, sondern aufnehmen und auf radikale Weise selbst zum Thema machen? Bei Johann Georg Hamann, Friedrich Schlegel, Jacques Derrida und Paul de Man zeichnet sich ein Umgang mit dem Problem ab, der weder einer Ontologisierung der Unverständlichkeit noch der Utopie absoluter Verständlichkeit zuarbeitet, sondern für eine Ironie der Unverständlichkeit plädiert, die »immer neu, und wo möglich immer paradoxer« (Schlegel) zum wiederholten Lesen auffordert.

        Christian Dualist Heresies in the Byzantine World, c. 650-c. 1450

        by Janet Hamilton, Bernard Hamilton

        Christian dualism originated in the reign of Constans II (641-68). It was a popular religion, which shared with orthodoxy an acceptance of scriptual authority and apostolic tradition and held a sacramental doctrine of salvation, but understood all these in a radically different way to the Orthodox Church. One of the differences was the strong part demonology played in the belief system. This text traces, through original sources, the origins of dualist Christianity throughout the Byzantine Empire, focusing on the Paulician movement in Armenia and Bogomilism in Bulgaria. It presents not only the theological texts, but puts the movements into their social and political context.
