An 'Open-Ended Distinctiveness' - The Contemporary Relevance of Wolfhart Pannenberg's Participatory Ecclesiology... An 'Open-Ended Distinctiveness' - The Contemporary Relevance of Wolfhart Pannenberg's Participatory Ecclesiology and Ecumenism for World Christianity (Hardcover, 1. ed.)

Insofar as the twentieth century has often been referred to as 'the ecumenical century', the twenty-first seems poised to become known as 'the century of World Christianity'. Into this situation, the present study seeks to show the ongoing relevance of Wolfhart Pannenberg's ecclesiological and ecumenical proposals and, in doing so, finds that his eschatologically-oriented and historically-rooted emphasis upon an 'open-ended distinctiveness' is exactly the kind of corrective that the emerging theological paradigm of World Christianity needs if it wants not only to stay contextually 'open-ended', but remain 'distinctively' Christian in outlook and character as well. Towards that end, the book begins with the story of ecclesiology's definitional expansion (from the time of the Reformation to now) before tracing the biographical and ideational roots of Pannenberg's overall programme. The study then proceeds by outlining the main contours of Pannenberg's ecclesiology and ecumenism, especially as such pertain to World Christianity. In this regard, several facets of Pannenberg's thought are highlighted for consideration, including his understanding of 'the church as sign of the kingdom', his doctrine of 'participation in Christ', his reassertion of the church's missionary task, his (underdeveloped) 'personalist' and 'social' thought-structures, his (ironically relevant) 'Constantinianism', his (directly relevant yet abstract) notion of 'creative love', and his views concerning contextualization and the ecumenical potential of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of 381. While much that is here developed serves as a healthy corrective for an emerging theological paradigm that is still maturing, some surprising critical insights arise that also flow the other way.

The Oxford Bible Commentary is a Bible study and reference work for 21st century students and readers that can be read with any modern translation of the Bible. It offers verse-by-verse explanation of every book of the Bible by the world's leading biblical scholars. From its inception, OBC has been designed as a completely non-denominational commentary, carefully written and edited to provide the best scholarship in a readable style for readers from all different faith backgrounds. It uses the traditional historical-critical method to search for the original meaning of the texts, but also brings in new perspectives and insights - literary, sociological, and cultural - to bring out the expanding meanings of these ancient writings and stimulate new discussion and further enquiry.
Newly issued in a series of part volumes, the OBC is now available in an affordable and portable format for the study of specific sections of the Bible. The Pentateuch, or Torah ('the law'), comprises the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, Genesis to Deuteronomy. The Commentaries are preceeded by introductions to the Old Testament and to the Pentateuch as a whole.

As a multi-faceted introduction to sacramental theology, the purposes of this Handbook are threefold: historical, ecumenical, and missional. The forty-four chapters are organized into the following parts five parts: Sacramental Roots in Scripture, Patristic Sacramental Theology, Medieval Sacramental Theology, From the Reformation through Today, and Philosophical and Theological Issues in Sacramental Doctrine. Contributors to this Handbook explain the diverse ways that believers have construed the sacraments, both in inspired Scripture and in the history of the Church's practice. In Scripture and the early Church, Orthodox, Protestants, and Catholics all find evidence that the first Christian communities celebrated and taught about the sacraments in a manner that Orthodox, Protestants, and Catholics today affirm as the foundation of their own faith and practice. Thus, for those who want to understand what has been taught about the sacraments in Scripture and across the generations by the major thinkers of the various Christian traditions, this Handbook provides an introduction. As the divisions in Christian sacramental understanding and practice are certainly evident in this Handbook, it is not thereby without ecumenical and missional value. This book evidences that the story of the Christian sacraments is, despite divisions in interpretation and practice, one of tremendous hope.

1828 unterzeichneten 23 Professoren aus Freiburg i. Br. Petitionen zur Abschaffung des Zoelibates und verteidigten diese mit einer erlauternden "Denkschrift". Hierauf antwortete Johann Adam Moehler (1796-1838) mit der "Beleuchtung der Denkschrift". Die Autorin analysiert den geschichtlichen und literarischen Hintergrund sowie die Grundlinien und Rezeptionsgeschichte dieses bisher in der Forschung noch sehr wenig beachteten Werkes. Eine Auswertung von Moehlers Methodik, ein Schriftenvergleich sowie die vorgenommene Systematisierung der Kernaussagen zeigen, dass die "Beleuchtung" uber eine reine Rezensionsschrift hinausreicht. Die Untersuchung belegt eindrucksvoll, dass der Tubinger (und spatere Munchener) Theologe hier eine im echten Sinne fundamentaltheologische Schrift vorgelegt hat, die einen Massstab fur sein folgendes systematisches Schaffen setzt.

" ... denn wenn du mit deinem Mund bekennst: "Jesus ist der Herr" und in deinem Herzen glaubst: "Gott hat ihn von den Toten auferweckt", so wirst du gerettet werden." (Roem 10,9) So lautet eines der altesten Glaubensbekenntnisse des Neuen Testaments, das der Apostel Paulus in seinem Roemerbrief uberliefert hat. Es benennt den Kern des christlichen Bekenntnisses: Gott ist in Jesus Christus ein Mensch geworden, der gestorben und auferstanden ist. Aber wer war Jesus, wie sehen und verstehen ihn das Neue Testament, die Leben-Jesu-Forschung, die OEkumenischen Konzilien, moderne Theologen wie Karl Rahner und Hans Urs von Balthasar sowie populare Schriftsteller wie Gilbert Keith Chesterton und Clive Staples Lewis? Dieser Spur folgt das Buch. Es geht davon aus, dass die Person Jesus Christus eine Herausforderung fur Glaube und Verstand ist, und moechte die Argumente christlicher Denker fur die Plausibilitat des christlichen Bekenntnisses darstellen.

Das metaphysisch-theistische Weltbild hat seine Plausibilitat verloren: Gott ist tot. Diese neuzeitliche Erfahrung zwingt und befreit Menschen, ohne Ruckgriff auf einen jenseitigen Gott von Gottes-Widerfahrnissen zu reden. In Philosophie, Soziologie und Literatur finden sich vergleichbare Versuche, atheistisch von Heiligem zu sprechen. Methodisch ist die Hermeneutik fur dieses interdisziplinare Projekt nur bedingt tauglich. Leitend ist ein dekonstruktivistisches Verfahren im Sinne einer kritischen Wahrnehmungslehre, in der sich allgemein verstandliche und fachtheologische, generalisierbare und kontingente Zu- und Umgange mischen. Das unaufloesbare Paradox menschlichen Lebens, ungefragt ins Leben gerufen zu sein und zugleich sein Leben in der unerfullbaren Orientierung am Nachsten zu gestalten, ist im Ergebnis heute auch politisch und kulturell-gesellschaftlich gegen Fundamentalismus und neoliberalen Positivismus offen zu halten. Gottes Abwesenheit als neuzeitliche Weise seiner Anwesenheit steht doppelt auf dem Spiel: gegen Ruckfall in theistischen Fundamentalismus und gegen das Vergessen auf Kosten mediatisierter Selbstinszenierung - eine Gratwanderung.

Der christliche Glaube ist durch grosse kulturelle Vielfalt gepragt, die auf das Selbstverstandnis der Kirche als "Weltkirche" einwirkt: Kontextuelle wie interkulturelle Verstehensweisen des weltweiten Christentums gewinnen angesichts globaler Erfahrungsraume zunehmend an theologischer Bedeutung. Die einzelnen Beitrage des Sammelbandes fragen danach, welche Bedeutung regionale Kulturen, Kontexte und das gewandelte globale Weltverstehen fur das Christentum besitzen. Europaische wie aussereuropaische Raume werden dabei in den Blick genommen, um am Beispiel einzelner Lander, Regionen, Praxen und Personen die jeweiligen Kirchen kennenzulernen und zu eroertern. Die politischen, kulturellen und historischen Rahmenbedingen, in denen sich Ortskirchen vorfinden, werden damit thematisiert.

Through the lens of Christology, a new approach to the theology of religions. Adopting the person and saving work of Christ (Christology) as the master key for organizing themes already treated by theologies of religion, theologian Gerald O'Collins introduces important themes previously largely ignored, such as the relevance of the theology of the cross for thinking about "the others" and the impact of Christ's priesthood on all men and women of all places and times.
