The Scottish church was forever altered by the arrival of the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Its legacy endured, and provoked a flurry of theological re-examinations which form the foundation for much of our modern understanding of Reformed Theology. In this informed and accessible historical study, Donald MacLeod, one of Scotland's current leading theologians, looks to the past to assess the impact of prominent theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, always with an eye to demonstrating how their writings speak to contemporary challenges facing the Church today.

Der Autor erforscht die Anwendungsdynamiken des islamischen Rechts (fiqh) in wandelnden Kontexten anhand der Werke von Hayreddin Karaman, einem beruhmten islamischen Rechtsgelehrten in der Turkei. Dabei analysiert er die Entwicklungen chronologisch seit dem Beginn in der Prophetenperiode und die wissenschaftlichen Entfaltungen der Nachfolgezeit bis in die sakulare Postmoderne. Anhand der diachronischen Forschungsmethode untersucht der Autor die innovative fiqh-Anwendung bei Karaman und zeigt seine Methode auf. Es geht hierbei um die Anknupfung an die Tradition und die daraus gewonnene Innovation in ihrem wissenschaftlich-argumentativen Diskurs. Auf kritischer Grundlage begegnet Karaman den Herausforderungen eines innovativen Aufschwungs in der sakularen Postmoderne.

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.

Tim Suttle; Foreword by Scot McKnight
R524 Discovery Miles 5 240 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Among followers of Jesus, great is often the enemy of good. The drive to be great---to be a success by the standards of the world---often crowds out the qualities of goodness, virtue, and faithfulness that should define the central focus of Christian leadership. In the culture of today s church, successful leadership is often judged by what works, while persistent faithfulness takes a back seat. If a ministry doesn t produce results, it is dropped. If people don t respond, we move on. This pursuit of greatness exerts a crushing pressure on the local church and creates a consuming anxiety in its leaders. In their pursuit of this warped vision of greatness, church leaders end up embracing a leadership narrative that runs counter to the sacrificial call of the gospel story. When church leaders focus on faithfulness to God and the gospel, however, it s always a kingdom-win---regardless of the visible results of their ministry. John the Baptist modeled this kind of leadership. As John s disciples crossed the Jordan River to follow after Jesus, John freely released them to a greater calling than following him. Speaking of Jesus, John said: He must increase, but I must decrease. Joyfully satisfied to have been faithful to his calling, John knew that the size and scope of his ministry would be determined by the will of the Father, not his own will. Following the example of John the Baptist and with a careful look at the teaching of Scripture, Tim Suttle dares church leaders to risk failure by chasing the vision God has given them---no matter how small it might seem---instead of pursuing the broad path of pragmatism that leads to fame and numerical success."

R1,175 Discovery Miles 11 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Palladius of Helenopolis - The Origenist Advocate (Hardcover): Demetrios S. Katos Palladius of Helenopolis - The Origenist Advocate (Hardcover)
Demetrios S. Katos
R2,912 Discovery Miles 29 120 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is the first monograph devoted to the life, work, and thought of Palladius of Helenopolis (ca. 362-420), an important witness of Christianity in late antiquity. Palladius' Dialogue on the Life of St. John Chrysostom and his Lausiac History are key sources for our knowledge of John Chrysostom's downfall and of the Origenist controversy, and they both provide rich information concerning many notable ecclesiastical personalities such as John Chrysostom, Theophilus of Alexandria, Jerome, Evagrius of Pontus, Melania the Elder, Isidore of Alexandria, and the Tall Brothers.
Demetrios S. Katos employs late antique theories of judicial rhetoric and argumentation, theories whose significance is only now becoming apparent to late antique scholars, to elicit new insights from the Dialogue regarding the controversy that resulted in the death of John Chrysostom. He also demonstrates that the Lausiac History deliberately promoted to the imperial court of Pulcheria a spiritual theology that was indebted to his guide Evagrius and more broadly to the legacy of Origen, despite Jerome's recent attacks against both. Palladius emerges from this account not merely as a peripatetic monk, his own preferred self-portrait that has prevailed in most modern accounts, but as an ecclesiastical statesman who passionately supported both the causes and ideas of his associates in the most pressing controversies of his day.
The study will also be valuable for scholars of late antiquity working in the areas of asceticism, spirituality, pilgrimage, hagiography, and early Christian constructions of gender, for all of which Palladius' works are important sources.
