eroertert anhand der Lebensgeschichte des geburtigen Westfalen
August Rauschenbusch und unter Anwendung gangiger Methoden der
deutsch-amerikanischen und transatlantischen Geschichtsschreibung
das Schicksal eines deutschen Amerikaauswanderers im 19.
Jahrhundert. August Rauschenbusch migrierte 1846 als
protestantischer Missionar nach Missouri und hatte spater eine
angesehene Stellung als Professor und Ausbilder von Predigern an
einem deutschsprachigen theologischen Seminar im Staat New York
inne. Der Verfasser ruckt durch seine Untersuchung der Biographie
eines deutschen Theologen und Einzelauswanderers in den USA heute
vergessene oder bisher weitgehend vernachlassigte Forschungsfelder
deutsch-amerikanischer Geschichte wieder ins Bewusstsein.
A Modern Manual for Sharing a Relevant, Vibrant, Enduring
Faith
In the face of mounting obstacles, parents and educators find
themselves increasingly challenged by the task of leading people
toward lives of faith. Now Thomas Groome, a world-renowned
authority on religious education, has created a contemporary,
holistic approach to teaching Christian beliefs and values that
offers real, effective solutions for today's parents and teachers.
His guide to religious education--which aims to "bring life to
Faith and Faith to life"--is a hopeful road map for reenergizing
the faith community and family from the bottom up.
Barth, Origen, and Universal Salvation offers a bold new
presentation of universal salvation. Building constructively from
the third- century theologian, Origen, and the twentieth-century
Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, Tom Greggs offers a defence of
universalism as rooted in Christian theology, showing this belief
does not have to be at the expense of human particularity, freedom,
and Christian faith.
Examining Barth's doctrine of election and Origen's understanding
of apokatastasis, Greggs proposes that a proper understanding of
the eternal salvific plan of God in the person of Jesus Christ
points towards universal salvation. The relationship between the
work of the Spirit and the Son in salvation is central to this
understanding. Universal salvation is grounded in the person of
Christ as himself historic and particular, and the Spirit makes the
reality of that universal work of Christ present to individuals and
communities in the present. The discussion includes creative
suggestions for the political and ecclesial implications of such a
presentation of salvation.
For nearly two thousand years Paul's suggestion at the end of 1
Corinthians 15 that God will be 'all in all' has appealed to those
who hold a 'wider hope' that eventually no person will be lost from
God's love. Clearly, such hope for universal salvation is at
variance with most Christian tradition, which has emphasized the
possibility, or certainty, of eternal hell. However, a minority of
Christian thinkers have advocated the idea and it has provoked much
debate in the course of the twentieth century. Responding to this
interest, Morwenna Ludlow compares and assesses the arguments for
universal salvation by Gregory of Nyssa and Karl Rahner - two
influential theologians from very different eras who are less well
known for their eschatological views.
In this book Dr Ludlow gives an assessment of early Christian
eschatology and its effect on modern theology by examining some
fundamental questions. Does universal salvation constitute a
'second tradition' of eschatology and how has that tradition
developed? What can we learn from Patristic writers such as Gregory
of Nyssa? How does one approach Christian eschatology in a modern
context?
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?"
Jason Helopoulos encourages the church to embrace the important
part children play in the life of the church and unfolds the
enormous blessings to be found in having them present in the
worship services of the congregation. He points out how the
struggles are temporary - whereas the blessings can be eternal.

One of the most effective and influential Christian teachers of
this century reveals how all teachers -- from parents to Sunday
school leaders, from pastors to professors -- can make the most of
their priceless opportunity to inspire, to instruct, and to
permanently impact lives for the kingdom of God. Based on seven
proven, easy-to-grasp laws any teacher can apply, Howard
Hendricks's classic teaching manual is a must-read for anyone who
wants to teach with power and passion, excitement and excellence.
I'm longing for God... * to answer my prayers * to forgive me *
when my heart has grown cold * to take me deeper * to display his
glory * to take me home The latest in the popular Keswick study
guide series matches the banner theme of Keswick Convention 2019:
Longing for God. Seminars, Bible readings and evening celebrations
will be tightly focussed around this topic. As in previous years,
we want convention-goers and those who don't benefit from Keswick
to explore the subject at home, on their own or in a group setting.
For the latter, there are leaders' notes on the six standalone
sessions. You can find out what the Bible says and what it means in
your life, and be encouraged through praying the prayers and
digging deeper. As you interact with this resource, you will find
yourself equipped to face life's challenges though knowing the God
of the Bible better. We pray that your longing will be satisfied.
