Preaching, a practice composed of and accompanied by a myriad of different activities, is an essential element of Muslim religious life both within and beyond mosques. As such, Islamic preaching is a common means of religious promulgation and knowledge transfer, of pastoral guidance and uplift, but also of communication between believers, and as a source of negotiating religious normativity, power relations, and societal topics. Given the centrality of preaching in Muslims' religious life, this collective volume presents contributions on various aspects of performance, text, space, and materiality of Islamic preaching in history and present. The interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary framework captures Islamic preaching as it unfolds in its social setting. The volume aims at representing the inner-Islamic diversity by depicting the practice of preaching as it came about in different times and geographical locations, shedding light onto Friday gatherings and sermons (ḫutba), and other forms of preaching (e. g. waʿẓ), be it during Ramadan, at religious feasts and commemorations, or on personal occasions such as weddings and funerals. Therefore, each chapter offers a different insight into the interwoven character of sermons' contents, the preacher him/herself, and the audience by emphasising the role of their bodily performance, of the temporality and spatiality of preaching, and of the objects and items involved.

During the 1650s, James Nayler was one of the most important leaders of the emerging Quaker movement in England and, arguably, its most effective preacher and writer. However, his legacy has been dominated by events that took place in the summer and autumn of 1656, leading to a conviction for blasphemy, brutal public punishment, and imprisonment. Official histories of Quaker beginnings portrayed him as a gifted, but flawed, character, who brought the Quaker movement into disrepute, and prompted a concern for corporate order. Scholarship during the past century has begun to question this received position. However, a continued preoccupation with his 'fall' has tended to overshadow interpretations of his writings. In this volume, Stuart Masters seeks to identify a number of important theological themes visible within Nayler's works, and to locate them within their radical religious context. He argues that a powerful Christological vision at the heart of Nayler's religious thought engendered a practical theology with radical political, economic, and ecological implications.

The author approaches the phenomenon 'religious experience' through a qualitative study in which young, urban people from Europe and the USA are empirically examined. It becomes clear that individuals themselves are constructive agents of experience and theology. Religious experience manifests itself as a transformative perspective of hope in the lives of young people. The study ends with a plea for a theology from below, based on liberation theology and feminist theories, in which contextual perspectives are central to practical theological theorising.

Religion als kulturelles Deutungssystem ist ohne Bezug zum Phänomen "Leben", das sich in unterschiedlichsten Lebensstilen artikuliert und darstellt, nicht denkbar. Dass Leben im Vollzug immer schon vorausgesetzt und dabei zugleich von vorgängiger Selbstvertrautheit und Entzogenheit bestimmt ist, drängt in religiöse Deutungen. Die brisante Dynamik der Entwicklungen auf den Gebieten der als 'life-sciences' apostrophierten Wissenschaften, insbesondere der Bio- und Gentechnologie und der mit ihr verbundenen bioethischen Diskurse, der Informatik und der Auffassung des Lebens als Informationsvermittlung, führt jedoch zu bedeutsamen Veränderungen in der kulturellen Wahrnehmung und Deutung des Lebens, die auch in theologischer Perspektive neue Interpretationsbemühungen fordern. In der Praktischen Theologie wird die Programmformel "gelebte Religion wahrnehmen" immer stärker ausdifferenziert, indem Phänomenbereiche, die sich mit Lebens-Komposita wie Lebenssinn, Lebensstil, Lebensgeschichte, Lebenswelt usw. verbinden lassen, in der Selbstreflexion des Faches und der Konstruktion seiner Handlungsfelder eine bedeutsame Rolle spielen. Der vorliegende Band stellt die systematisch-theologischen und praktisch-theologischen Diskurse zum "Leben" in den interdisziplinären Kontext der gesamtgesellschaftlichen Debatte um das Verständnis von Leben.

Bildung ist ein zentrales und aktuelles Thema kirchlicher Arbeit, das eng mit der Gemeinde als Lernort verknüpft ist. Die Gemeindepädagogik, seit den 1970er Jahren als Reformprozess in den Kirchen in Ost und West entstanden, hat sich angesichts der Herausforderungen in Kirche und Gesellschaft zu einer eigenständigen Fachwissenschaft, Berufstheorie und -praxis entwickelt. Das Studienbuch, aus den Erfahrungen und Bedürfnissen von Lehre und Studium entstanden, spiegelt in seiner überarbeiteten Neuauflage den derzeitigen Forschungstand und die Entwicklungen zeitgemäßer kirchlicher Bildungsverantwortung im Blick auf die Vielfalt gemeindlicher Formen von Kirche. Die zwölf Kapitel folgen einer leicht verständlichen Matrix: Die vier Themenfelder Gemeinde, Pädagogik, Lebenswelten und Berufstheorie werden jeweils in drei Perspektiven erschlossen: historische Entwicklungslinien, Grundfragen der Gegenwart sowie Spannungsfelder und aktuelle Herausforderungen. Als neue Handlungsfelder kirchlicher Bildungsarbeit wurden die Gemeindekulturpädagogik, das intergenerationelle und interreligiöse Lernen, die neue Vielfalt von Gemeindeformen und die Gemeindeentwicklung als Bildungsgeschehen aufgenommen und den Kapiteln jeweils zugeordnet. Durch Vertiefungsaufgaben ist das Studienbuch hervorragend geeignet für Lehre und Studium, aber auch für Fort- und Weiterbildung. Education as an important topic for future church work has focussed attention on the parish as a place of learning. The textbook - in 2nd edition with new concept - details the current state of research and career theory on teaching in the parish. The four thematic aspects - parish, education, living environments and career theory - are viewed from three perspectives: historical; crucial questions of the modern world; existing areas of conflict.
