Der Autor erbringt in der Studie den Nachweis, dass die Lehre des Thomas von Aquin vom, status perfectionis' einen integralen Bestandteil seiner Ekklesiologie darstellt. In dieser Lehre artikuliert sich ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Ekklesiologie, insofern Bischöfe und Religiosen einen herausragenden Platz in der Kirche einnehmen und mit unverzichtbaren Funktionen betraut sind. Die in der Bischofsweihe für immer übernommene ,cura principalis animarum' wird nun das entscheidende Charakteristikum der Nachfolger im Amt der Apostel, während sich die Ordensleute kraft ihrer ewigen Profess verpflichten, nach der Vollkommenheit zu streben, ohne dass sie - anders als die Bischöfe -behaupten, selbst vollkommen zu sein. Aus dem absoluten Vorrang des Episkopats leitet Thomas eine Summe von Pflichten ab, die man als großen theologisch-systematischen Bischofsspiegel des Mittelalters bezeichnen darf. Die mit der Integration der Religiosen in den ,status perfectionis' verbundenen Probleme waren für Thomas leichter lösbar. Er wusste eine lange monastische Tradition hinter sich. Gleichwohl weist sein Traktat über das Ordensleben viele originelle Züge auf: Weder die auf wenige Prinzipien reduzierte Typologie des Ordensstandes noch die Begründung der ihm damals möglich gewordenen Aktivitäten haben zeitgenössische Parallelen von vergleichbarem theologischen Gewicht. Der Grundsatz, die Gelübde seien lediglich Instrumente der Vollkommenheit, nicht aber diese selbst, sollte eine außerordentliche Fruchtbarkeit entfalten. Dass es hauptsächlich die Armutsforderung des Evangeliums war, die jene Reflexion einleitete, verrät, dass Thomas die sozialen und ökonomischen Tendenzen seines Jahrhunderts erkannt und für seine Konzeption fruchtbar gemacht hat.

The first full-length study to trace how early Christians came to perceive Jesus as a sinless human being. Jeffrey S. Siker presents a taxonomy of sin in early Judaism and examines moments in Jesus' life associated with sinfulness: his birth to the unwed Mary, his baptism by John the Baptist, his public ministry - transgressing boundaries of family, friends, and faith - and his cursed death by crucifixion. Although followers viewed his immediate death in tragic terms, with no expectation of his resurrection, they soon began to believe that God had raised him from the dead. Their resurrection faith produced a new understanding of Jesus' prophetic ministry, in which his death had been a perfect sacrificial death for sin, his ministry perfectly obedient, his baptism a demonstration of perfect righteousness, and his birth a perfect virgin birth. This study explores the implications of a retrospective faith that elevated Jesus to perfect divinity, redefining sin.

"Diversity and excellence in Higher Education seem to be conflicting concepts. Nevertheless, they are dynamic and closely intertwined -- indeed they may even require each other. The book brings together insights from ten different countries to analyse these multi-facetted phenomena and discuss how they may be reconciled within higher education. To set the overall context, it critically addresses markets and managerialism, whilst foregrounding the dangers of certain behavior that European countries are currently, though often unwisely, copying from the U.S. In a mass Higher Education system, the social basis of the student body diversifies – a fact that creates new challenges for planners and managers. The authors’ study of diversity concentrates particularly upon issues of equity and justice for students, addressing their life cycle transitions from school to higher education, degree completion, postgraduate education and employability. It also considers challenges posed by diversification at the institutional level, encompassing changes in management, leadership, governance and performance assessment. It addresses attempts to achieve excellence by selectivity, thereby contributing to the stratification of university systems; and it explores attempts to achieve excellence by merging smaller institutions to form larger entities. The book’s overall conclusion is that diversity and excellence are not necessarily enemies but relatives who cannot escape the bond between them. " .

"For a number of years scholars who are concerned with issues of poverty and the poor have turned away from the study of charity and poor relief, in order to search for a view of the life of the poor from the point of view of the poor themselves. Great studies have been conducted using a variety of records, resulting in seminal works that have enriched our understanding of pauper experiences and the influence and impact of poverty on societies. If we return our gaze to 'charity' with the benefit of those studies' questions, approaches, sources and findings, what might we see differently about how charity was experienced as a concept and in practice, at both community and personal levels? In this collection, contributors explore the experience of charity towards the poor, considering it in spiritual, intellectual, emotional, personal, social, cultural and material terms. The approach is a comparative one: across different time periods, nations, and faiths. Contributors pay particular attention to the way faith inflected charity in the different national environments of England and France, as Catholicism and Calvinism became outlawed and/or minority faith positions in these respective nations. They ask how different faith and beliefs defined or shaped the act of charity, and explore whether these changed over time even within one faith. The sources used to answer such questions go beyond the textual as contributors analyse a range of additional sources that include the visual, aural, and material"--Provided by publisher.
