Über den Ort und Stellenwert von Glaube und Religion in der Gesellschaft gibt es unterschiedliche Auffassungen. Was für die Religion gilt, gilt auch für die Stellung der Theologie im öffentlichen Raum. Für die meisten Universitätsgründungen aus dem Mittelalter war die Theologie die Keimzelle ihrer Existenz. Um die Theologie herum bildeten sich im Lauf der Zeit die anderen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen heraus. Schon im Kulturkampf unter Bismarck wurde diskutiert, ob wissenschaftliche Theologie einen Platz an staatlichen Universitäten habe. Jüngst hat der Wissenschaftsrat bekräftigt, dass der zentrale Ort der christlichen und der nicht-christlichen Theologien das staatliche Hochschulsystem sei. Das Bundesbildungsministerium hat deshalb für Islam und Judentum Wege gefunden, Theologie unter akademischen Bedingungen zu betreiben und ihnen damit eine Heimat an der deutschen Universität zu geben. Dieser Band beleuchtet die Fragen im Spannungsfeld von bekenntnisgebundener Theologie und universitärer Erkenntnisfreiheit. Namhafte Autoren unterschiedlicher Religionen, Konfessionen, Disziplinen sowie Politiker beschäftigen sich mit der Theologie im säkularen Umfeld, der Wechselwirkung von Staat und Theologie, den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Staatskirchenrechts sowie dem Aufbau muslimischer als auch vor allem der Institutionalisierung der Jüdischen Theologie an einer deutschen Hochschule.

"Warring Sovereignties explores the battle between religious and non-secular cultures for control of the university in the 1960s. Canon law, with particular emphasis on Oblate norms, was a clear expression of Catholic sovereignty in the university. While this sovereignty conditioned Oblate governance choices, the Government of Ontario became increasingly keen on reforming the University of Ottawa into a non-denominational corporation. Government pressure was coupled with shifting cultural expectations of the university's social role, while an increasingly lay professorate helped put pressure on the Oblates from within. These twin pressures for removing religious control irked the Oblates, who put up stiff resistance, betraying their reticence to the liberalization of higher education. While the government valued social policy, the Oblates focused on educating individuals. Although the Oblates ultimately lost, history is as relevant as ever, and this book comes at a time when social planning is becoming increasingly prevalent within universities."--

The consequences of the Reformation and the church/state polity it created have always been an area of important scholarly debate. The essays in this volume, by many of the leading scholars of the period, revisit many of the important issues during the period from the Henrician Reformation to the Glorious Revolution: theology, political structures, the relationship of theology and secular ideologies, and the Civil War. Topics include Puritan networks and nomenclature in England and in the New World; examinations of the changing theology of the Church in the century after the Reformation; the evolving relationship of art and protestantism; the providentialist thinking of Charles I; the operation of the penal laws against Catholics; and protestantism in the localities of Yorkshire and Norwich.

KENNETH FINCHAM is Reader in History at the University of Kent; Professor PETER LAKE teaches in the Department of History at Princeton University.

Aspects of the reign of King Henry re-examined, from royal biography to administrative history. It is a testament to C. Warren Hollister's ongoing influence that the reign of Henry I, until his work on the period relatively neglected, is now a vibrant field of inquiry - to which this collection, a special volume of the Haskins Society Journal dedicated to his memory, makes a significant contribution. Its distinguished contributors, many former Hollister students, cover a wide range of areas: royal biography; political history, including Church-Staterelations and relations with neighbors such as Maine and Ireland as well as the English people Henry ruled; administrative history, including fiscal management; and prosopography, especially of the major developments in the Anglo-Norman aristocracy under Henry's reign. This volume thus continues and extends Hollister's scholarly legacy. Contributors: ROBERT S. BABCOCK, RICHARD E. BARTON, STEPHANIE MOOERS CHRISTELOW, DAVID CROUCH, RAGENA C. DE ARAGON, LOIS L. HUNEYCUTT, DAVID S. SPEAR, HEATHER J. TANNER, KATHLEEN THOMPSON, ANN WILLIAMS, SALLY N. VAUGHN.
