Berlin during August 2001; others are presented here for the first
time. Sven Andersen teaches systematic theology at Aarhus
University, Denmark, Centre for Bioethics. Ulrich Nissen teaches

Evolution & Creation - A European Perspective
The relationship between religion and politics has received
increased attention in recent time. For religious traditions, this
increased attention has been cause to reflect on their position
regarding political life. Is it permissible for a religious person
to engage in political life at all? Should he or she attempt to
impose his religious views on the entire society? This book deals
with Luthera (TM)s reflections on the relation between his
religious views and politics. Luther understands political
authority as a reflecting a God-given natural order. Christians are
called to practice neighborly love also in political life. In
Luthera (TM)s view, politics consists in the conversion of love
into power. Can this idea still be defended today?

Ethik.
In Concern for the Other: The Ethics of K. E. Logstrup, eleven
scholars examine the structure, intention, and originality of
Logstrup's ethics as a whole. This collection of essays is a
companion to Beyond the Ethical Demand, as well as to The Ethical
Demand. The essays examine Logstrup's crucial concept of the
"sovereign expressions of life"; his view of moral principles as a
substitute for, or inferior form of, ethics; his relationships to
other philosophers, including the twentieth-century British moral
philosophers; and the role of his Lutheran background in his
ethics. Logstrup also firmly advanced the controversial thesis,
examined by several essays in this volume, that the demand for
"other-concern" central to his ethics does not depend on religious
faith.
