In Pope Francis' Revolution of Tenderness and Love: Theological and
Pastoral Perspectives, Cardinal Walter Kasper clarifies how Pope
Francis "brought fresh air into the church, the wind, the
confidence, joy and freedom." This fresh air is not simply the
result of a charismatic figure, but rests in the deep rooted
theological and pastoral experience of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. This
book outlines the significant influences that have led Kasper to
call Francis a pope leading a radical revolution of tenderness and
love-radical because it is rooted in the Gospel. The central
theological vision of Pope Francis is the understanding of God as
mercy itself. If God is mercy, then what are its ramifications for
believers? Francis says: "Look, read the Beatitudes that will do
you good. If you then want to know what you have to do
specifically, read Matthew chapter 25. This is the pattern in which
we will be judged. With these two things, you have the plan of
action: the Beatitudes and Matthew 25. You don't need to read
anything else. And I ask you with all my heart." The church is for
Francis far more than an organic and hierarchical institution; it
is above all God's people on the way to God, the pilgrim and
evangelizing the people that always, if necessary, also exceeds
institutional expression. The Church must have the mercy of God as
its central theme and activity." Kasper describes Francis as a
charismatic, confident leader completely convinced of the message
of the Gospel. He "combines continuity with the great tradition of
the Church with renewal and ever new surprises. This also includes
a poor church for the poor. This is not a liberal program; it is a
radical program. Radical because it touches on the root and is a
revolution of tenderness and love....What the pope is proposing is
the humble way devout people move continents and can move mountains
(Mt 17,19; 21,21). A little mercy-he says-can change the world.
This is the Christian revolution....It is revolution in the true
sense of the word-originally, the return to the origin of the
Gospel as a way forward, a revolution of mercy."
Die Steuerungs-und Regelungstechnik nimmt in der Betrachtung von
Automatisierungs- und Optimierungsbestrebungen eine
Schliisselposition ein. Sie ist eine iibergreifende Disziplin fur
die technischen Fachgebiete: Verfahrenstechnik, Stromungs-und
Kolbenmaschinen u.a. Es ist heute unumganglich, den Techniker auch
den versierten Facharbeiter mit Prinzipien, Denkmodellen und
Anwendungsmoglichkeiten der MSR-Technik vertraut zu machen. Da fur
diesen breiten Anwenderkreis die Methoden der hoheren Mathematik
sehr oft nicht zur Verfiigung stehen, ist eine
allgemeinverstandliche Darstellung unverzichtbar. In dem
vorliegenden Buch wird der Versuch gewagt, abstrakte Zusammenhange
mit relativ einfachen Mitteln zu interpretieren. Im Abschnitt
MeBtechnik wurde bewuBt auf die Behandlung der Themenbereiche
LangenmeB-und Priiftechnik verzichtet, da in allen technischen
Bildungsgangen diese Bereiche anderen Fachem zugeordnet sind. Im
Abschnitt Steuerungstechnik werden die iiblichen IEC-Symbole
verwendet. Zusatzlich zur bisherigen Steuerungstechnik ist das
Kapitel, Speicherprogrammierbare Steuerung" eingefugt worden. Der
Abschnitt Regelungstechnik wurde vollig neu iiberarbeitet und
strukturiert. Neu aufgenommen wurde die Beschreibung mittels
Komplexer Zahlen, Ortskurven, Bode- Diagramm und PID-Algorithmus.
Zusammenfassungen und durchgerechnete Beispiele zu den einzelnen
Abschnitten wurden erganzt. Neu ist das Kapitel
Automatisierungstechnik. MeB-, Steuerungs-und Regelungstechnik sind
integrative Bestandteile der Automatisierungstechnik. Die

Cardinal Walter Kasper's contributions to theology, ecumenism,
Jewish-Christian relations, and the pastoral life of the church
have shaped Catholicism in the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries. Acknowledging this, Pope Francis has praised Kasper's
"profound and serene" theology.In "The Theology of Cardinal Walter
Kasper: Speaking Truth in Love," leading theologians from across
the United States and Canada explore the full scope of Kasper's
thought on topics such as the character of ecumenical and
interreligious dialogue, Christology, theological method, and the
nature of the church-world relationship. Kasper himself presents
four previously unpublished texts: on the interpretation of Vatican
II, on forgiveness, on Christian hope, and on the approach to
theology today.This volume originated at a conference in honor of
Kasper's eightieth birthday at which he was an active participant.
It provides an introduction to Kasper's thought and also an
overview of major issues in contemporary Catholic theology.
Kasper is a master synthesiser, and his display of erudition alone
makes this book a worthy read and an invaluable resource for
questions of God and Trinity. Using admittedly polemical language,
he calls for a 'theological theology' which makes the explanation
of the confession of the triune God its first priority, not only
for speculative but also for pastoral reasons. This is the reissue
of a theological work of considerable importance for which Cardinal
Kasper has written an entirely new introduction taking modern
developments in theology fully into account.
This Handbook offers practical suggestions for implementing and
strengthening spiritual ecumenism, the heart of all efforts to
reunite divided Christians. It is grounded in the documents that
have shaped the Catholic Churchs engagement in seeking Christian
unity, those of the Second Vatican Council, as well as others such
as the encyclical Ut Unum Sint and the Catechism of the Catholic
Church. A Handbook of Spiritual Ecumenism is written for anyone who
values deeply the restoration of Christian unity, especially those
responsible for promoting it at various levels of Church life.
Cardinal Kasper extends a loving invitation to Christians of all
traditions, encouraging them to join their Catholic brothers and
sisters in prayer and action for unity.
On October 31, 1999, in Augsburg, Germany, officials of the
Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church signed two
documents, an "Official Common Statement" with its "Annex" and the
"Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification." The Lutheran
Churches belonging to the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman
Catholic Church were declaring publicly and in a binding manner
that a consensus in basic truths of the doctrine of justification
exists between Lutherans and Catholics.
Within four months of the Augsburg signing, the Yale University
Divinity School and the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale sponsored
a theological conference Justification and the Future of the
Ecumenical Movement." The goal of the conference was to begin
testing the wider import of the"Joint Declaration."
The essays in "Justification and the Future of the Ecumenical
Movement" explore the larger implications of the "Joint
Declaration." The majority of the chapters are the presentations
made at Yale in 2000. Three of the chapters were written later than
the Yale conference and are included in this collection to expand
the range of the discussion and to add new insights.
"Justification and the Future of the Ecumenical Movement"
includes: Introduction by William G. Rusch; *The University and
Ecumenism, - by George Lindbeck; *"The Joint Declaration on the
Doctrine of Justification" A Roman Catholic Perspective, - by

Walter Kasper is already well-known and loved throughout the
English-speaking world. He has held high office in the Vatican but
until his recent retirement has felt constrained from publishing
what he really thinks and his vision of the Church for the future.
Kasper brings to conclusion a project that has been pursued for
years, as it joins together his greatest monographs on the subject
of God's teaching and Christology. The book covers three main
topics: Nature, Reality and the Mission of the Church. The
introductory section is autobiographical and the reader can see
Kasper's personal and theological way in to and with the Church. He
develops the actual ecclesiological exegesis - for Kasper the
representation of the Being of the Church is not about empirical
description, but rather a testimony of being. He emphasizes that
nobody is able to apply the stereotypical and idealistic image of
the heavens to the critical acknowledgement of the church's
present. The program of the Church is ultimately not self-directed
but rather remains oriented towards the finalization of the arrival
of the kingdom of God and the spiritual healing of the human race.
Durchschnittlich wird weltweit alle funf Minuten ein Christ wegen
seines Glaubens getotet. Christenverfolgungen haben heute ein
Ausmass angenommen wie nie zuvor. Kardinal Walter Kasper hat dieses
wichtige Thema aufgegriffen und seine Phanomene grundlegend
durchdacht. Mit dem vorliegenden Vortragsband schlagt er eine
Brucke von den biblischen Aussagen uber die Erfahrung der
weltweiten Kirche Jesu Christi durch die Jahrhunderte zu einer
gegenwartigen Okumene der Martyrer"
The Second Vatican Council in its Decree on Ecumenism (Unitatis
redintegratio) declared the restoration of unity among Christians
to be one of its principal concerns. Division among the Churches
scandalises the world, and damages that most holy cause, the
preaching of The Gospel to every creature. The key figure in the
Roman Catholic Church to have worked tirelessly at these aims is
Cardinal Walter Kasper, one of the most appealing, progressive and
open members of the Vatican hierarchy. In this new book Cardinal
Kasper summarises the results of his intense dialogues with
Anglican, Orthodox, Lutheran, Reformed and Methodist Churches and
sets out a blue print for 'consensus and convergence' and sets out
a map for the way forward. From such a source, this document is
therefore of crucial importance. The book focuses on the major
issues in ecumenical dialogue - Jesus Christ, The Holy Trinity,
Justification, The Church and The Sacraments of Baptism and
Eucharist. With pellucid clarity, this book explains the key issues
at stake and offers signposts for the way forward so that the wish
of Jesus may be fulfilled: That They May All Be One.
Cardinal Waler Kasper is a distinguished theologian who has been a
colleague of Cardinal Ratzinger, Karl Rahner and Hans Kung at the
Universtities of Munster and Tubingen. Kasper now heads the
Vatican's Ponitifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, with
the specific task of fostering relations between the Catholic
Church and the other Christian Churches and Eccesiastical
communities. By any reckoning, Kasper is a key leader in the
eccumenical movement today. In this new book, he outlines his
vision for the unity of Christian Churches. A man with an open
mind, Kasper covers one of the major responsibilities of the
contemporary Catholic Church. His perspective of the uniqueness of
the Catholic Church and its magisterium is presented here as a
modern inquiry into the nature of truth. His views are enlightened
and engaging, and reflect the important role of dialogue as
understood by the Catholic Church, which must also listen to other
traditions and learn from them. But Kasper also realises that the
cause of unity is exceptionally difficult at the present
time.Dialogue is often challenged by developments between and
within Christian communions and obstructed by historical tensions.
This book will command quite exceptional interest. Many will read
it in the hope that the thought of this renowned, open-minded
Church leader may give hope to people of all traditions that they
may learn to understand Jesus's injucntion - 'that they may be
one'.
