Der Nationalsozialismus gehoert zu den besterforschten Epochen der Zeitgeschichte. In den Lehrplanen fur fast alle Schulformen sind die Themen Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust curricular verankert. Zugleich aber belegen Studien seit den 1950er Jahren, dass mancher Schulunterricht zur Verharmlosung, UEberdruss oder Abwehr gegen "das Thema" beitragt. Die Studie greift diese Problemlage auf. Aus interdisziplinarer Perspektive kommt dabei die intergenerative Tradierung von Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust in den Blick. Schliesslich wird mit Methoden qualitativer Unterrichtsforschung der Frage nach der "Gegenwart der Vergangenheit" nachgegangen. Hier steht das Rezeptionsverhalten von Schulerinnen und Schulern zu den Themen Judentum, Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust im Mittelpunkt. Im Hinblick auf eine Religionspadagogik nach Auschwitz wird somit auch eine Antwort moeglich auf die Frage: "How to teach the Holocaust?"

Lots of people think Christianity is all about doing what Jesus says. But what if doing what Jesus says isn t what Jesus says to do at all? Jesus invitation is an invitation to relationship, and it begins with a simple request: follow me.

Religion says Change and you can join us. Jesus says, Join us and you will change. There s a huge difference. Jesus doesn t expect people to be perfect. He just wants them to follow him. Being a sinner doesn t disqualify anyone. Being an unbeliever doesn t disqualify anyone. In fact, following almost always begins with a sinner and unbeliever taking one small step.

In this eight-session video-based Bible study, Andy Stanley takes small groups on a journey through the Gospels as he traces Jesus teaching on what it means to follow.

Sessions include:

• Jesus Says
• Next Steps
• Fearless
• Follow Wear
• The Fine Print
• What I Want to Want
• Leading Great
• Unfollowers

Tomas de Kempis (1380 -1471) fue un fraile catolico renacentista del siglo XV, autor de la Imitacion de Cristo, una de las obras de devocion cristiana mas conocida desde entonces, redactada para la vida espiritual de los monjes y frailes, que ha tenido una amplia difusion entre los miembros de la Iglesia catolica; algunos importantes autores de espiritualidad cristiana le han dado gran relieve, como Teresita de Lisieux, Bossuet y Juan Bosco, entre otros. La Iglesia Catolica venera a este fraile como "beato," mientras la Iglesia anglicana lo considera santo. Sin dudas una obra obligatoria para los que intentan entender el mensaje de Cristo, y lo que significa vivir como un buen cristiano.

Der Autor konzipiert "Interreligioese Religionspadagogik" auf interdisziplinaren Grundlagen. Sein Konzept bezieht sich auf das Verhaltnis zur deutschen Minderheit der Muslime. Es bietet zugleich Raum fur den allgemeinen interreligioesen Dialog. Die Grundlagen stammen aus der Sozialisationsforschung sowie der Anthropologie von Martin Buber. Erkenntnistheoretisch folgt die Studie wichtigen Positionen der Kognitionspsychologie und Naturwissenschaften. Damit schafft sie ein religioeses Bewusstsein fur individuelle Selbstfindung im Glauben und befahigt, religioese Differenzen konstruktiv zu verarbeiten. Dieses Konzept mundet in einer Theologie des Weges, die im religioesen Leben (Mystik, Meditation, Tao) seit jeher eine grosse Rolle spielte und fur den zukunftigen interreligioesen Dialog entscheidend sein wird.
