Im Zentrum des Bandes steht ein bislang kaum untersuchtes Phänomen der deutsch-jüdischen Literatur: Die beiden neo-orthodoxen Periodika Jeschurun und Der Israelit, die ab der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts als Fortsetzungserzählungen erschienen sind. Diese popularisieren das Ideal einer Partizipation gesetzestreuer Juden an der modernen Gesellschaft und inszenieren das Judentum als Familienreligion in Form von sentimentalen, mehrere Generationen umspannenden Liebesgeschichten. Dieses "Projekt" der Neudefinierung des Judentums, lokalisiert dieses primär im familiären Kontext und zeugt dennoch - oder gerade deshalb - von den komplexen Ordnungs- und Grenzziehungsstrategien des sich pluralisierenden Judentums, sowie einer Neuordnung der Geschlechterrollen. Das Medium der Feuilletonliteratur dient dabei nicht nur der Unterhaltung, sondern fungiert auch als ästhetisches Mittel der religiösen Wissensvermittlung und zeugt zugleich vom Anspruch dieser Literatur, als eigenständige Kunst wahrgenommen zu werden.

Die in der protestantischen Orthodoxie üblichen Karrierestufen von logischer zu theologischer und homiletischer Publizistik führen beim Strassburger lutherischen Theologen Johann Conrad Dannhauer (1603-1666) zu einer mehrfachen werkimmanenten Selbstrezeption, Sie erfolgt entlang dem zeitgenössischen Schlüsselbegriff der Methode. Nach Darlegung mündlich-disputatorischer (1629) und schriftlich-hermeneutischer (1630) Argumentationsmethoden entwickelt Dannhauer in seiner Dialektik (1634) die methodus im Gefolge J. Zabarellas insgesamt zu einer deutlicher apodiktisch-binären Logik. Er lässt sie als Darstellung der Wahl des christlichen Lebenswegs zuerst in der monumentalen Predigtsammlung der Catechismus-Milch (ab 1634) und schließlich in der Gegenüberstellung von lutherische Hodosophie (Wegweisheit, 1653) und katholischer sowie reformierter Hodomorie (Wegtorheit, 1654) wirksam werden. Der Methodenbegriff entwickelt sich so zu einer funktional hybriden Metapher und aus der Prüfung von Argumenten bildet sich jene des auch individuell verstandenen Glaubenswegs. Dies eröffnet neue Perspektiven auch auf das Paradox der Prägung Ph. J. Speners durch Dannhauer bei gleichzeitiger Bekämpfung des Pietismus durch die Staßburger Fakultät The reception of Neo-Aristotelianism by the Lutheran Orthodoxy has received little scholarly attention with regard to its practical effects on the church. Giacomo Zabarella's discussion of methods provides a structural framework for the influential sermons and works of Johann Conrad Dannhauer (1603-1666).

This sweeping history shows how the Greek Orthodox Church in America has functioned as much more than a religious institution, becoming the focal point in the lives of the country's million-plus Greek immigrants and their descendants. Assuming the responsibility of running Greek-language schools and encouraging local parishes to engage in cultural and social activities, the church became the most important Greek American institution and shaped the identity of Greeks in the United States. The book digs into these traditional activities, highlighting the American church's dependency on the 'mother church,' the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople, and the use of Greek language in the Sunday liturgy. Today, as this rich biography of the church shows us, Greek Orthodoxy remains in between the Old World and the New, both Greek and American.

If theology at its best is knowing God and all things in the light of his reality, what is the nature of that knowledge? Of what can we be sure? Are there boundaries we must respect in pursuit of such understanding? To what extent can we know God, and what is the impact of that knowing? Little attention has been given in recent scholarship to the work of Emil Brunner (1889-1966), a Swiss pastor, professor, missionary, and theologian whose name is classed among the neo-orthodox thinkers of the last century. This lacuna is misleading, however, for his influence on modern theology persists. In Believing Thinking, Bounded Theology, Cynthia Bennett Brown explores the nature of and limits to theological thinking in Brunner's own work. What results from this study is an encounter with a thoroughly biblical, warmly pastoral, carefully intellectual, and insistently christocentric exposition of the Christian faith that remains relevant for theology and life today.

Johannes Chrysostomos ist über Jahrhunderte und bis heute in erstaunlicher Weise "Projektionsfläche" unterschiedlicher christlicher Identitätskonstruktionen. Seine Lebensgeschichte und vor allem seine Wirkungsgeschichte sind von größerer Bedeutung als seine Theologie. Der Band fragt deshalb nach den prägenden Bildern, die von dieser Persönlichkeit im Umlauf waren und sind, und nach ihrer Funktion in verschiedenen kulturellen und theologischen Diskursen. Der Band geht auf eine Basler Tagung im Januar 2007 zurück. Die Autoren kommen aus unterschiedlichen nationalen, konfessionellen und wissenschaftlichen Traditionen. Diese Pluralität der Zugänge erweist sich für diese spezifische Fragestellung als besonders fruchtbar. Besonderer Wert wird auf die Einbindung der byzantinischen Kultur- bzw. orthodoxen Konfessionstradition gelegt.

Theosis shapes contemporary Orthodox theology in two ways, positively and negatively. In the positive sense, contemporary Orthodox theologians made theosis the thread that bound together the various aspects of theology in a coherent whole, but also their interpretation of patristic texts, which experienced a renaissance in the twentieth century, even in Orthodox theology. In the negative sense, contemporary theologians used theosis as a triumphalistic club to beat down Catholic and Protestant Christians, claiming that they rejected theosis in favor of either a rationalistic or fideistic approach to Christian life. The essays collected in this volume move beyond this East-West divide by examining the relation between faith, reason, and theosis from Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant perspectives. A variety of themes are addressed, such as the nature-grace debate and the relation of philosophy to theology, through engagement with such diverse thinkers as Thomas Aquinas, John Wesley, Meister Eckhart, Dionysius the Areopagite, Symeon the New Theologian, Panayiotis Nellas, Vladimir Lossky, Martin Luther, Martin Heidegger, Sergius Bulgakov, John of the Cross, Delores Williams, Evagrius of Pontus, and Hans Urs von Balthasar. The essays of this book are situated within a current thinking on theosis that consists of a common, albeit minimalist, affirmation amidst the flow of differences. The authors in this volume contribute to the historical theological task of complicating the contemporary Orthodox narrative, but they also continue the “theological achievement” of thinking about theosis so that all Christian traditions may be challenged to stretch and shift their understanding of theosis even amidst an ecumenical celebration of the gift of participation in the life of God.

This collection explores how the body became a touchstone for late antique religious practice and imagination. When we read the stories and testimonies of late ancient Christians, what different types of bodies stand before us? How do we understand the range of bodily experiences—solitary and social, private and public—that clothed ancient Christians? How can bodily experience help us explore matters of gender, religious identity, class, and ethnicity? The Garb of Being investigates these questions through stories from the Eastern Christian world of antiquity: monks and martyrs, families and congregations, and textual bodies.Contributors include S.
