This volume offers an up-to-date introduction to Eberhard Jungel's
intellectual formation, publications and influence. Jungel is one
of the most original and influential Protestant theologians to
emerge after Karl Barth, and his theology has received fresh
interest of late from systematic theologians, biblical scholars and
historians of modern Christian thought. R. David Nelson guides the
reader through the figures, movements and conceptual developments
in the background of Jungel's thought. By introducing Jungel's four
major monographs and eleven of his key essays, Nelson is able to
assess a number of themes prominent in Jungel's theology, and to
summarize the achievements, challenges, and prospects of his
theological contribution. This comprehensive introduction will help
the inquisitive student to engage with Jungel's thought.
Ecumenism: A Guide for the Perplexed is a brief but comprehensive
introduction to the methods, achievements, and future prospects of
the modern ecumenical movement. The authors begin the volume by
charting out a serviceable definition of ecumenism, a term that has
long been a source of confusion for students of theology and church
history. The authors then concisely review the chronology of the
first century of the modern ecumenical movement, highlighting the
major events, figures, accomplishments, and impasses. This
historical survey is followed by critical examinations of several
significant challenges for contemporary ecumenical theology and
practice. The authors conclude the volume by commenting upon the
difficulties and prospects that the ecumenical movement might
anticipate as it enters this new millennium.
Paying tribute to John Webster's theological works, this volume
examines select cardinal Christian doctrines that have been
imperative to Webster's research, with essays contributed by
eminent systematic theologians, theological ethicists, and biblical
scholars from a wide range of Christian traditions. The areas of
discussion include the nature and method of theology, Scripture and
its interpretation, Christology and the doctrine of the Trinity,
moral theology, and the reading and use of theological dialogue
partners. These contributors appraise, extend and apply different
aspects of the conception of "theological theology". The volume
argues that, if theology should in fact be thoroughly theological,
it means that theological discourse gains little by conforming to
the canons of inquiry that govern other disciplines. By analyzing
aspects such as the location of the Church's doctrine, the
sinlessness of Christ and the interpretation of scripture, this
book posits that theology should rather focus its attention on its
own unique subject, God and all things in relation to God, and
should follow procedures that allow it to access and bear witness
to these realities.
This volume is a collection of essays in honour of Tubingen
theologian Eberhard Jungel, and is presented to him on the occasion
of his 80th birthday. Jungel is widely held to be one of the most
important Christian theologians of the past half-century. The
essays honour Professor Jungel both by offering critical
interlocutions with his theology and by presenting constructive
proposals on themes in contemporary dogmatics that are prominent in
his writings. The Festschrift introduces a new generation of
theologians to Eberhard Jungel and his theology. The volume also
includes an exhaustive bibliography of Jungel's writings and of
secondary sources that deal extensively with his thought.

While German Lutheran theologian Eberhard Jungel (1934-) has made a
number of significant contributions to contemporaneous discussions
of sacramental theology, this topic has largely been ignored by
interpreters of his thought. This study summarizes and evaluates,
through a close reading of primary and secondary source materials,
Jungel's approach to the problem of sacrament. R. David Nelson
considers Jungel's claim that the word of God functions
sacramentally as it addresses its hearer, and analyses his
assertion that Jesus Christ is the unique and preeminent sacrament
of God for the world. Progressing to an exploration of Jungel's
ecclesiology, Nelson reveals Jungel's interesting approach to the
question of the church's sacramentality. The volume concludes with
an investigation into Jungel's doctrines of baptism and the Lord's
Supper."The Interruptive Word "demonstrates that Jungel
consistently appeals to the category of 'interruption' for
describing God's sacramental relation to the world and its
actualities, concluding that the hegemony of the category of
'interruption' in Jungel's theology of sacrament raises important
questions concerning its coherence and tenability.

Every day companies leave billions of dollars in invisible,
unrealized savings on the table because of poor supply chain
management practices. Now supply management experts Dave Nelson,
Patricia E. Moody, and Jonathan Stegner show not only how leading
companies recoup these savings through their mastery of target
costing, value engineering, and supplier development, but how
supply chain management -- the discipline of acquiring and moving
material -- has become a manufacturing company's hottest
competitive weapon.
Based on a survey of 247 purchasing managers and more than 1,000
hours of interviews and on-site visits, the authors have selected
ten top firms whose supply management pioneers excel at twenty
"best practices." With cases and stories, Nelson, Moody, and
Stegner show how these leading-edge purchasing departments at
American Express, SmithKline Beecham, DaimlerChrysler,
Harley-Davidson, Honda of America, IBM, John Deere, Whirlpool,
Flextronics, and Sun Microsystems have put into place pathbreaking
processes and procedures. Here, for example, described in
step-by-step detail, are Chrysler's SCORE program and Honda's
strategic sourcing strategy that saved the companies billions. The
book also includes a crucial section on the next stage of supplier
development that will involve the sourcing and allocation of ideas
as well as materials.
The authors provide concrete, practical steps to improvement that
any supply chain manager can take to successfully implement these
best practices. The Purchasing Machine will be required reading for
logistics, purchasing, and procurement managers in hundreds of
thousands of companies. The authoritative nature of the authors'
source material is certain to make this the single most important
and practical reference on best purchasing practices for years to
come.
