Der Verein Fundare e.V., ein gemeinnutziger Verein zur Foerderung des Stiftungswesens, hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, zu einer aufbluhenden Stiftungskultur in Deutschland beizutragen. Dazu sollen insbesondere die wissenschaftlichen und praktischen Grundlagen des Stiftens erforscht werden. Der Erfullung dieser Aufgabe dient die Zeitschrift Die Stiftung - Jahreshefte zum Stiftungswesen. Sie beinhaltet in ihrer neunten Ausgabe vor allem die Vortrage, die auf dem von Fundare e.V. veranstalteten 9. Stiftungsrechtstag an der Ruhr-Universitat Bochum gehalten wurden. Daruber hinaus haben noch weitere Beitrage Aufnahme gefunden. Es werden nicht nur eingehend zivilrechtliche, sondern auch verwaltungs- und steuerrechtliche Problematiken des Stiftungsrechts beleuchtet. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hierbei auf dem in der Praxis viel diskutierten Thema "Compliance", wobei die aktuellen Themen im Stiftungs- und Stiftungssteuerrecht nicht vernachlassigt werden.

Christian Human Rights (Hardcover): Samuel Moyn Christian Human Rights (Hardcover)
Samuel Moyn
R697 Discovery Miles 6 970 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In Christian Human Rights, Samuel Moyn asserts that the rise of human rights after World War II was prefigured and inspired by a defense of the dignity of the human person that first arose in Christian churches and religious thought in the years just prior to the outbreak of the war. The Roman Catholic Church and transatlantic Protestant circles dominated the public discussion of the new principles in what became the last European golden age for the Christian faith. At the same time, West European governments after World War II, particularly in the ascendant Christian Democratic parties, became more tolerant of public expressions of religious piety. Human rights rose to public prominence in the space opened up by these dual developments of the early Cold War. Moyn argues that human dignity became central to Christian political discourse as early as 1937. Pius XII's wartime Christmas addresses announced the basic idea of universal human rights as a principle of world, and not merely state, order. By focusing on the 1930s and 1940s, Moyn demonstrates how the language of human rights was separated from the secular heritage of the French Revolution and put to use by postwar democracies governed by Christian parties, which reinvented them to impose moral constraints on individuals, support conservative family structures, and preserve existing social hierarchies. The book ends with a provocative chapter that traces contemporary European struggles to assimilate Muslim immigrants to the continent's legacy of Christian human rights.

Ausgangspunkt dieses Buches ist die seit Jahrzehnten im oeffentlichen Sachenrecht umstrittene Frage, ob eine Widmung dingliche Rechtsfolgen ausloest. Trotz der gegenlaufigen Entscheidung im Hamburger Stadtsiegelfall sind in der Rechtsprechung im Falle widmungswidriger Nutzung einer oeffentlichen Sache Stoerungsbeseitigungsanspruche fur den oeffentlichen Sachherrn anerkannt worden, die gesetzlich nicht geregelt sind. Hier setzt der Autor an. Er untersucht, ob und welche Sicherungsmoeglichkeiten fur die diversen oeffentlichen Sachen nach oeffentlichem (Sachen-)Recht bestehen. Das Strassen- und Wasserrecht stellt gesetzliche Grundlagen fur Sicherungsinstrumente bereit. Im UEbrigen hat eine Widmung keine sachenrechtliche Wirkung. Insbesondere scheidet Gewohnheitsrecht als Grundlage von Sicherungsinstrumenten aus.

The Deconstructed Church - Understanding Emerging Christianity (Hardcover): Gerardo Marti, Gladys Ganiel The Deconstructed Church - Understanding Emerging Christianity (Hardcover)
Gerardo Marti, Gladys Ganiel
R1,558 Discovery Miles 15 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Emerging Church Movement (ECM) is a creative, entrepreneurial religious movement that strives to achieve social legitimacy and spiritual vitality by actively disassociating from its roots in conservative, evangelical Christianity and ''deconstructing'' contemporary expressions of Christianity. Emerging Christians see themselves as overturning outdated interpretations of the Bible, transforming hierarchical religious institutions, and re-orienting Christianity to step outside the walls of church buildings toward working among and serving others in the ''real world.'' Drawing on ethnographic observations from emerging congregations, pub churches, neo-monastic communities, conferences, online networks, in-depth interviews, and congregational surveys in the US, UK, and Ireland, Gerardo Marti and Gladys Ganiel provide a comprehensive social scientific analysis of the development and significance of the ECM. Emerging Christians are shaping a distinct religious orientation that encourages individualism, deep relationships with others, new ideas about the nature of truth, doubt, and God, and innovations in preaching, worship, Eucharist, and leadership.

Wie steht es um die Vereinbarkeit von Islam und Menschenrechten? Wiederholt wird eine vermeintliche Unvereinbarkeit behauptet, die u.a. auf der Annahme fusst, dass die Menschenrechte ihren genuinen Ursprung im christlich-fortschrittlichen Abendland hatten. Mit Mohammad Hashim Kamali und Saffet Koese befassen sich zwei Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Gegenden der islamischen Welt mit den Menschenrechten aus einer sachlich-kritischen islamischen Binnenperspektive heraus. Anhand von Koran und Sunna weisen die Autoren eine Vielzahl von Menschenrechtsaspekten nach und zeigen ein weit ausgreifendes Spektrum an Verbindungen und Kompatibilitaten mit den Menschenrechtsideen auf. Beide Autoren rekurrieren in ihren Ausfuhrungen auf die Bestimmungen der Allgemeinen Erklarung der Menschenrechte und leisten somit eine komparative Betrachtungsweise von menschenrechtlichen Paradigmen und ethisch-moralischen Grundwerten des Islams.

Diese Gedenkschrift wurdigt Carl Gerold Furst als Wissenschaftler, der sich durch sein kompetentes und selbstloses Engagement hohe Verdienste um Lehre und Praxis des kanonischen Rechtes erworben hat. Die im Band enthaltenen Beitrage weisen eine breite Vielfalt auf: Sie behandeln vor allem das materielle Recht der Katholischen Ostkirchen, aber auch das der Lateinischen Kirche sowie die kirchliche Rechtsgeschichte. Auf diese Weise ergeben Sie ein Spiegelbild der weit gefacherten Forschungsschwerpunkte von Carl Gerold Furst, der am 7. August 2012 verstorben ist, dessen Lebenswerk gleichwohl eng mit der Erstellung des CCEO verbunden bleiben wird. Aus seinen Mitgliedschaften in zahlreichen bedeutenden wissenschaftlichen und kirchlichen Gremien sei lediglich eine ihn besonders pragende erwahnt: Von 1978 bis 1990 war Furst Konsultor der Papstlichen Kommission fur die Revision des Rechts der Katholischen Ostkirchen und somit massgeblich an der Erstellung des Gesetzbuches fur die orientalischen Katholischen Kirchen beteiligt. Papst Johannes Paul II. erwahnte Furst bei der Vorstellung dieses Codex namentlich. Sein Heimatland OEsterreich verlieh dem geburtigen Wiener das "Ehrenkreuz fur Wissenschaft und Kunst I. Klasse", Johannes Paul II. zeichnete ihn mit dem Orden eines Grossoffiziers (Komtur mit Stern) des Papstlichen Gregoriusordens aus.

Die Kongregationen von Windesheim und Bursfelde waren die groessten Klosterverbande, die im Zuge der spatmittelalterlichen Ordensreformen entstanden. Den Wirkungen dieser Reformbewegungen auf Kloester in Holstein, Lubeck und Hamburg ist die Studie gewidmet. Damit wird eine von den Zentren der Reform aus gesehen periphere Klosterlandschaft in den Blick genommen. Das Erkenntnisinteresse der Studie richtet sich dabei sowohl auf den Prozess der Reformeinfuhrung als auch auf die innerkloesterliche Umsetzung. Einerseits wird untersucht, wie sich der actus reformationis mit den daran beteiligten Handlungstragern gestaltete. Andererseits wird der Frage nach einer Verinnerlichung der Reform anhand zweier Schriftzeugnisse, namlich des Cismarer Nekrologs und der Bordesholmer Professurkunden, nachgegangen.

Deals with all aspects of the role and responsibility of being a Churchwarden. The aim of this book is to encourage Churchwardens to approach their role with confidence, and with the knowledge that much can be achieved in their term of office. The C of E has 30,000 churchwardens, of which several thousand are elected for the first time every year. "Churchwardens are the great unsung heroes of the Church of England" says the Rt Rev Michael Ipgrave, Bishop of Lichfield, in his foreword to this book. "The great strength of Matthew Clements' writing is that he sets the sometimes dry duties and responsibilities of wardenship within the warm context of human lives lived joyously and devotedly in the service of Christ and his beloved Church. All will find in this book practical wisdom, shrewd commonsense and indefatigable commitment to a noble cause." The role of the churchwarden in the Anglican Church has not changed much over the years, although perhaps the respectability and authority of the role has diminished. It is a responsible and important role which, if done conscientiously, will augment the efforts of the clergy and encourage the congregation, thus strengthening the Body of the church. This book is for all current churchwardens as well as all those (sometimes reluctant) volunteers who are considering the possibility of becoming churchwardens in the future. Additionally, it will be useful for anyone else in the church who is able to admit to themselves that they don't really know what the churchwarden actually does. Told with gentle humour based on solid experience and pragmatism, Matthew Clements details the extensive boundaries of a churchwarden's responsibilities and gives many examples from his own experience of just what the job can entail. There are many pitfalls that await the unwary, and there are many joys as well.

This book identifies the distinguishing features of fundamental theology, as distinct from philosophical theology, natural theology, apologetics, and other similar disciplines. Addressing the potential for confusion about basic Christian claims and beliefs, Gerald O'Collins sets out to relaunch fundamental theology as a discipline by presenting a coherent vision of basic theological questions and positions that lay the ground for work in specific areas of systematic theology.
Rethinking Fundamental Theology examines central theological questions: about God, human experience and, specifically, religious experience; the divine revelation coming through the history of Israel and through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus; human faith that responds to revelation; the nature of tradition that transmits the record and reality of revelation; the structure of biblical inspiration and truth, as well as basic issues concerned with the formation of the canon; the founding of the Church with some leadership structures; the relationship between Christ's revelation and the faith of those who follow other religions. O'Collins concludes with some reflections on theological method.
Written with the scholarship and accessibility for which O'Collins is known and valued, this book will relaunch fundamental theology as a distinct and necessary discipline in faculties and departments of theology and religious studies around the world.

Why should you join a church?

Becoming a member of a church is an important, and often neglected, part of the Christian life. Yet the trend these days is one of shunning the practice of organized religion and showing a distaste or fear of commitment, especially of institutions.

Jonathan Leeman addresses these issues with a straightforward explanation of what church membership is and why it's important. Giving the local church its proper due, Leeman has built a compelling case for committing to the local body.

Transformation lays the groundwork for what church and Christian community can become in this new century. Author and pastor Bob Roberts Jr. is one of the architects of this unique approach to Christianity-based on biblical and missional discipleship-that he calls T-Life (transformed life), which leads to a T-World (transformed world). Ever since Jesus' commission to make disciples in his name, Christianity has transformed lives and the world at large. To those watching, it must have looked like an upstart religion led by a group of men, most of whom were martyred for their beliefs. The voice of secular culture today is no louder and no more indulgent than it was in those days. And yet much of the Western church has settled for becoming just another mass media market that's adding to the noise, instead of a movement that continues to turn the world upside down. Drawing inspiration from early church history and the emerging church in the developing world, Roberts envisions a new way of engaging the local church to achieve common goals. He calls for: Building a church culture rather than a church program. Empowering the local church to invest in the global missions field. Consistently reestablishing our relationship with Jesus Christ in order to experience true transformation. In fact, all this begins with a growing, interactive relationship with God that includes personal and corporate worship. This, in turn, results in community. As community serves others, transformation has both a global and local impact and creates transformation in the world. Transformation redefines the focus and practice of the church, not from external bells and whistles, but from the internal transformation of the very character of its people.

A Texas oilman. A brilliant female archaeologist. An unknown world underneath the Vatican.

In 1939, a team of workers beneath the Vatican unearthed an early Christian grave. This surprising discovery launched a secret quest that would last decades — a quest to discover the long-lost burial place of the Apostle Peter.

From earliest times, Christian tradition held that Peter — a lowly fisherman from Galilee, whom Christ made leader of his Church — was executed in Rome by Emperor Nero and buried on Vatican Hill. But his tomb had been lost to history. Now, funded anonymously by a wealthy American, a small army of workers embarked on the dig of a lifetime.

The incredible, sometimes shocking, story of the 75-year search and its key players has never been fully told — until now. The quest would pit one of the 20th century’s most talented archaeologists — a woman — against top Vatican insiders. The Fisherman’s Tomb is a story of the triumph of faith and genius against all odds.

Palliative Care ist eine Antwort auf grundlegende Fragen der modernen Medizin: Wie weit wollen, sollen oder mMedizin: Wie weit wollen, sollen oder mussen wir Leben erhalten, verlangern und verbessern, wenn es von unheilbarer Krankheit, Alter oder Sterben begrenzt wird? Was wird fur ein der menschlichen Wurde und Freiheit gerecht werdendes Leben und Sterben gefordert? Ist alles medizinisch Machbare zu tun, oder widerspricht dies persoenlichen und gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen von einem guten Leben und Sterben? Und dort, wo die heutige Medizin an ihre Grenzen stoesst, wie gehen wir mit dem Leiden und Sterben um? Welche Bedurfnisse stehen in diesen Situationen im Vordergrund? Wie kann ihnen fur moeglichst alle entsprochen werden? Was ist wesentlich in der Beziehung, in Haltung und Verhalten zueinander zwischen jenen, die unheilbar krank sind, die gehen mussen, vielleicht wollen, und jenen, die sie in dieser Situation betreuen und begleiten? Das Buch "Ethik in der Palliative Care" gibt Antworten auf diese Fragen, indem es umfassend die historischen, medizinischen, ethischen und theologischen Hintergrunde von Palliative Care beschreibt und ihren Stellenwert im Schweizer Gesundheitssystem dokumentiert.
