Translating Religion - What is Lost and Gained? (Paperback): Michael Dejonge, Christiane Tietz Translating Religion - What is Lost and Gained? (Paperback)
Michael Dejonge, Christiane Tietz
R1,472 Discovery Miles 14 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Translating Religion advances thinking about translation as a critical category in religious studies, combining theoretical reflection about processes of translation in religion with focused case studies that are international, interdisciplinary, and interreligious. By operating with broad conceptions of both religion and translation, this volume makes clear that processes of translation, broadly construed, are everywhere in both religious life and the study of religion; at the same time, the theory and practice of translation and the advancement of translation studies as a field has developed in the context of concerns about the possibility and propriety of translating religious texts. The nature of religions as living historical traditions depends on the translation of religion from the past into the present. Interreligious dialogue and the comparative study of religion require the translation of religion from one tradition to another. Understanding the historical diffusion of the world's religions requires coming to terms with the success and failure of translating a religion from one cultural context into another. Contributors ask what it means to translate religion, both textually and conceptually, and how the translation of religious content might differ from the translation of other aspects of human culture. This volume proposes that questions on the nature of translation find particularly acute expression in the domains of religion, and argues that theoretical approaches from translation studies can be fruitfully brought to bear on contemporary religious studies.

Karl Barth - A Life in Conflict (Hardcover): Christiane Tietz Karl Barth - A Life in Conflict (Hardcover)
Christiane Tietz; Translated by Victoria J. Barnett
R1,212 R1,109 Discovery Miles 11 090 Save R103 (8%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

From the beginning of his career, Swiss theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) was often in conflict with the spirit of his times. While during the First World War German poets and philosophers became intoxicated by the experience of community and transcendence, Barth fought against all attempts to locate the divine in culture or individual sentiment. This freed him for a deep worldly engagement: he was known as "the red pastor," was the primary author of the founding document of the Confessing Church, the Barmen Theological Declaration, and after 1945 protested the rearmament of the Federal Republic of Germany. Christiane Tietz compellingly explores the interactions between Barth's personal and political biography and his theology. Numerous newly-available documents offer insight into the lesser-known sides of Barth such as his long-term three-way relationship with his wife Nelly and his colleague Charlotte von Kirschbaum. This is an evocative portrait of a theologian who described himself as "God's cheerful partisan," who was honored as a prophet and a genial spirit, was feared as a critic, and shaped the theology of an entire century as no other thinker.

Sacrality and Materiality - Locating Intersections (Hardcover): Michael O'Sullivan Sacrality and Materiality - Locating Intersections (Hardcover)

Christian theology traditionally regards the sacramental as the polar opposite of the profane. The polarity is a memorial of contemporary desacralisation, profanisation, and sacralisation that stands as a portal to the story of modern reality. In our liminal space, we neither de-sacralise our environs nor re-sacralise the world. The lines are blurred and our perception of spirituality is neither immanent nor transcendent. While words fail to articulate the condition, stories are told and tales of experiences come together to form new theoretical nets, systems and categories. The conference volume, Sacrality and Materiality: Locating Intersections seeks to reply to the questions: Where does the sacred intersect with the material? What happens when they meet? First, however, does the sacral even exist? Would it be more productive to ignite sacramental discourse at the intersections of a new matrix? Historically, materiality is other than spirituality -- an intersection of the two is an intangible event of the intellect and spirit. We must engage a bipolar setting in the context of its own history in order to speak about the unspeakable. Despite that spirituality and materiality refuse to assume the categories assigned to the initial polarities of sacrality and profanity, the volume addresses the constrictions. Sacral materialism and sacral spiritualism both exist in their own right, and Christian theology has more to offer than polarities. The sacral is the meeting point for the fission of thought. Is the sacramental a topos for telling a postmodern story of spiritual experience? Is Evangelical sacramental theology relevant? Does theological talk about holy materiality belong in denominational and inter-religious dialogue?

Ist das Bemuhen um einen Dialog zwischen Theologie und Naturwissenschaften heute noch sinnvoll? Oder haben sich die Wissensgebiete beider Seiten so weit voneinander entfernt, dass ihre Gegenstandsfelder und Erkenntnisformen keinerlei Beruhrung mehr zulassen? Zeitgenoessische atheistische und agnostische Kritiker von Religion und Theologie - wie der Oxforder Evolutionsbiologe Richard Dawkins in seinem Bestseller The God Delusion ("Der Gotteswahn") - behaupten das: Solche Dialoginteressen wurden nur verschleiern, dass Religion und Theologie gar keinen wissenschaftlich erschliessbaren Gegenstandsbereich hatten. Der Dialog zwischen Theologie und Naturwissenschaften wurde in den letzten dreissig Jahren international vor allem in englischer Sprache gefuhrt. Deshalb erscheint auch dieser Band auf Englisch. Er will zeigen, welche Beitrage die Theologie zu diesem Dialog leisten kann - nicht nur unter hoch spezialisierten Fachleuten, sondern auch an Universitaten und Schulen, in Gemeinden, Akademien und Gesprachskreisen. Die Theologie muss nicht nur falsche Wahrnehmungen und szientistisch-fundamentalistische Propaganda von aussen korrigieren. Sie muss auch konstruktiv theologische Themen ins Gesprach einbringen, um Brucken zu bauen. Auf den Gebieten der Schoepfungslehre, der Eschatologie und der Anthropologie gibt dieses Buch dazu Impulse.

Theologian of Resistance - The Life and Thought of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Hardcover): Christiane Tietz Theologian of Resistance - The Life and Thought of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Hardcover)

R882 Discovery Miles 8 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Since Dietrich Bonhoeffer's death in 1945, executed by the Nazis as a political dissident, he has continued to fascinate and compel readers as a theologian, witness, and martyr. Bonhoeffer's theological brilliance, committed discipleship, ecumenical insight, and courageous participation in the struggle against fascism have profoundly shaped contemporary Christian understanding and action. In John W. de Gruchy's estimate, had Bonhoeffer lived "he might have dominated the theological scene in-the second half of the twentieth century in succession to Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, and Paul Tillich. As it was, he became the paradigmatic martyr- theologian" for our time. In this new biography, Christiane Dietz masterfully portrays the interconnectedness of Bonhoeffer's life and thought, theology and politics, discipleship, witness, and resistance, tracing the path from his childhood to his imprisonment and execution. Brief, lucid, and imminently accessible, Tietz's new account brings Bonhoeffer's story and work to life in a vivid retelling, unfolding his important and widely read texts, and including new, previously unseen pictures.
