Marriage, across cultures, is often defined as a union between
consenting adults that lasts for the life of the partners. But is
marriage a blessing, or curse? Does marriage represent the union of
two hearts, or was it a necessary evil? Did matrimony bring a
person a helpmeet for life, or was it a societally approved state
entered into to improve one's social standing and produce
legitimate heirs? The authors of this volume show that the peoples
of the ancient Mediterranean were divided on all of these
questions, and reveal ancient Greek and Roman opinions on marriage
that were as varied and complex as they are today. Readers will
discover in this book that ancients juggled multiple ideas that to
the modern eye may appear to be contradictory. Thus, for example,
Greek and Roman wives were expected to come to their grooms
spotless virgins, while Greek and Roman husbands could enjoy
multiple partnerships outside the marital union. Guided by our
experts, we take an extensive journey through time and space,
encountering evidence from such sources as diverse as Hammurabic
law codes, Egyptian papyri, Greek epic and tragedy, Roman
inscriptions and writings on the lives of early Christians.
Applying innovative approaches and diverse methodologies, the
authors of this volume reveal the tension and reconciliation
between representations of marriage in antiquity and its lived
reality. A Cultural History of Marriage in Antiquity presents an
overview of the period with essays on Courtship and Ritual;
Religion, State and Law; Kinship and Social Networks; the Family
Economy; Love and Sex; the Breaking of Vows; and Representations of
Marriage.

Living Grace is the most comprehensive expression of systematic
theology for United Methodism to appear in the 1990's. Its authors,
Bishop Walter Klaiber and Dr. Manfred Marquardt, are leading
theologians of continental European United Methodism. Their work
meets the long-felt need to provide partners in ecumenical dialog a
clearer exposition of Methodism's theology, as founded upon
biblical witness, apostolic heritage, the Protestant Reformation,
and the Wesleyan Revival.
The authors concede that Methodists are often regarded more as
specialists in evangelization, ecclesial organization, or social
engagement, than as representatives of a cogently articulated
theology. Further, United Methodists today are frequently at the
forefront of facilitating interchurch cooperation in worship and
social outreach. It is the authors' hope that a clearer exposition
of our common understanding could offer a foundation upon which the
"vital Wesleyan accent" could better direct the Christian witness
we are offering in the world. Their response to the challenge has
produced a thoughtful attempt to find a solid theological basis for
our identity as a church that will not only accent our
distinctiveness but will also assist other faith communities to
articulate their profiles of faith.
In this first English edition, the work has been adapted for the
American historical and social milieu. As such, it becomes a
pathbreaking effort to articulate for our American constituency the
global dimensions of a United Methodist theology, in which the
American church is increasingly called to participate. Four
emphases of the book are: Responsible Proclamation, Basics of a UMC
theology; Universal Salvation; Personal Faith; and, Fullness of
Christian Life and the Reality of Love.
Sven Klaiber diskutiert die Frage, wie Angestellte an
Organisationen gebunden werden koennen, in denen sie bereits tatig
sind. Auf Basis einer quantitativen Studie zeigt er umfangreiche
Zusammenhange zwischen den lernfoerderlichen Aspekten der Arbeit
und der Bindung der Mitarbeitenden an ihren Arbeitgeber auf. Vor
dem Hintergrund des aktuellen Fachkraftemangels, der Organisationen
vor grosse Herausforderungen stellt, entwickelt der Autor
theoretische und praktische Vorschlage fur die Personalarbeit in
Unternehmen.
