"Erwerbt euch Weisheit, ..." (Sir 51,25). Diese Aufforderung aus dem Buch Jesus Sirach provoziert die Frage, was unter dem Begriff Weisheit zu verstehen ist und wie man Weisheit erwerben kann. Die Beitrage dieser Festschrift zu Ehren Bernd Feiningers widmen sich dieser Thematik aus unterschiedlichen theologischen und padagogischen Blickwinkeln. Sie analysieren Weisheit aus der Perspektive der Bibel und des Koran, untersuchen weisheitliche Aspekte aus historisch-theologischer und systematisch-theologischer Sicht und entfalten weisheitliche Dimensionen in religionspadagogischer und religionsdidaktischer Perspektive.

Die Untersuchung beschaftigt sich mit den Schulfahrten an den Katholischen Gymnasien im Bistum Osnabruck und stellt die Frage, ob diese damit ihrem schulischen Auftrag nachkommen. Dabei tragt der Autor zunachst zur Weiterentwicklung der Pilger- und Wallfahrtstheologie bei, indem er die Ursprunge des Pilgerns und des Wallfahrens herleitet, in den Kontext der Kirchengeschichte stellt und sie an den Erfahrungen der untersuchten Schulfahrten reflektiert. Er pladiert hier fur eine Differenzierung zwischen Pilgern und Wallfahren, die sich in unterschiedlichen Konzepten der Durchfuhrung niederschlagt. Um die Frage nach der Relevanz fur eine Pilger- oder Wallfahrt an einer Schule zu beantworten, zeigt Andreas Gautier zunachst die Motivation von Schulgrundungen auf. Hier werden Unterschiede zwischen Katholischer Kirche und Staat als Trager deutlich. Diese umfassen das Bildungs- und Erziehungsverstandnis, was wiederum unterschiedliche Antworten auf die Frage liefert, ob Pilgern oder Wallfahren dem schulischen Auftrag gerecht wird. Der empirische Teil, dem eine quantitative Erhebung zugrunde liegt, untermauert diese Herleitung und zeigt weitergehende Implikationen fur eine Umsetzung auf.

Catholic elementary and secondary schools in the United States are known for their academic excellence, safety, discipline, good communication, and a Christ-centered focus that permeates the school culture. However, there many unseen challenges to maintain these hard-won benchmarks that school leaders face daily. Ever escalating costs and limited funding streams, rising expectations of families, divisive culture battles, conflicting and sometimes mutually exclusive views of Church teachings and beliefs chipping away at the core mission, a growing and hostile secularism all contribute to some of the challenges confronting this largest private school system. TheSurvivability of Catholic Schools: Vigor, Anemia, and a Diffident Flock guides readers through some of the undetected trials and joys of keeping Catholic schools faithful to their mission by candidly acknowledging some of the headaches while encouraging parents, alumni, and stakeholders to reinvigorate this pearl of great price.

Few know that the great St. Thomas Aquinas, although he was a towering intellectual, also wrote much that's well within the reach of ordinary believers. In The Aquinas Catechism you'll find his deeply insightful, straightforward, and clear explanations of the Apostles' Creed, the Commandments, and the Sacraments -- as well as of the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary.

In other words, this book will give you a basic course in the Catholic Faith, taught by the Church's greatest theologian. Let St. Thomas teach you how to explain, defend, and live your Faith . . . with the clear-sighted wisdom of a saint!

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

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?"
