Abstract

"Der christliche Glaube an Erlösung hat sich im Wandel geschichtlicher Denkhorizonte grundlegend weiterentwickelt. Dieser Band fragt nach der Wechselwirkung von Soteriologie und denkerischen Kontexten. Vor allem jedoch verortet er selbst den Erlösungsglauben neu - und zwar angesichts gegenwärtiger Fragen nach personaler Identität und im Bewusstsein der säkularen Nicht-Notwendigkeit des Gottesglaubens. Dazu wird ein Horizont spätmoderner Narrative zum Selbst eröffnet (Charles Taylor, Hartmut Rosa und Michel Foucault). Vor diesem Hintergrund entwickelt der Autor seine theologische These: Erlösung ist nicht nur eine religiöse Vergewisserung von Identität, sie kann und soll diese auch herausfordern und irritieren. So gesehen braucht Soteriologie eine identitätskritische Dimension." --

Abstract

"This book explores the representation of the idea or theme of redemption in contemporary, popular film. The discussion focuses primarily on the work of three directors - Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese and Kore-eda Hirokazu - but also considers a number of films from other directorial hands. David Rankin divides the notion of personal redemption into transactional and transformational aspects, differentiating between redemption understood as that which is external to the person but impacting on their being and environment, and that which is internal to the person. Redemption is viewed broadly as a journey from brokenness to wholeness, from imprisonment to release, or from some form of slavery to freedom. Both secular and religious (especially Christian) understandings of the notion are discussed and consideration is given to how the former might inform the latter"--

Abstract

These enchanting stories from early modern Bengal reveal how Hindu and Muslim traditions converged on timeless themes of human morality, social culture, and survival.   The Bengali stories in this collection are first and foremost tales of survival. Each story in Needle at the Bottom of the Sea underscores the need for people to work together--not just to overcome the challenges of living in the Sundarban swamps of Bengal, but also to ease hostilities born of social differences in religion, caste, and economic class.   Translated by award-winning scholar of early modern Bengali literature Tony K. Stewart, Needle at the Bottom of the Sea brims with fantasy and excitement. Sufi protagonists travel through a world of wonder where tigers talk and men magically grow into giants, a Hindu princess falls in love with a Muslim holy man, and goddesses rub shoulders with kings and merchants. Across religion, class, and gender, what binds these fabulous stories together is the characters' pursuit of living honorably and morally in a difficult, corrupt world.

Abstract

In this book, Ligita Ryliskyte addresses what is arguably the most important and profound question in systematic theology: What does it mean for humankind to be saved by the cross? Offering a constructive account of the atonement that avoids pitting God's saving love against divine justice, she provides a biblically-grounded and philosophically disciplined theology of the cross that responds to the exigencies of postmodern secular culture. Ryliskyte draws on Bernard J. F. Lonergan's development of the Augustinian-Thomist tradition to argue that the justice of the cross concerns the orderly communication and diffusion of divine friendship. It becomes efficacious in the dynamic order of the emergent universe through the transformation of evil into good out of love. Showing how inherited theological traditions can be transposed in new contexts, Ryliskyte's book reveals a Christology of fundamental significance for contemporary systematic theology, as well as the fields of theological ethics and Christian spirituality.
