""This study argues that the core of Ernst Troeltsch's theological project is an eschatological conception of the Absolute. Troeltsch developed his idea of the Absolute from post-Kantian religious and philosophical thought, and applied it to the Christian doctrine of eschatology. Troeltsch's eschatological Absolute must be understood in the context of questions being raised at the turn of the twentieth century by research on New Testament apocalypticism, as well as by modern critical methodologies in the historical sciences. The study is a revisionist response to common approaches to Troeltsch that read him as introducing problematic historicist and immanentist assumptions into Christian theology. Instead, it argues that Troeltsch's theological modernism presents a compelling account of the meaningfulness of history while retaining a commitment to divine transcendence that is unconditioned by history. As such, his theology remains relevant to theological research today, well beyond theological circles that normally take Troeltsch's legacy to contribute in a constructive way to their work. ""--

"Welche Themen sind es wert, sogar noch nach dem Tod diskutiert zu werden? Und welche Fragen, welche Einsichten könnte es geben? Genau diesen existenziellen Themen und Fragen spüren Sibylle Lewitscharoff und Heiko Michael Hartmann nach. In ihrem Buch lassen sie zwei Seelen im Jenseits auf einer Wartebank sitzen, die sich nur flüchtig kennen. Sie beginnen ein Gespräch, vorsichtig erst, dann immer eindringlicher: über das Verhältnis von Leib und Seele, über das Sterben und den Tod, über Gericht und Erlösung, über Glauben und Nicht-Glauben. Es sind die Themen, die Sibylle Lewitscharoff und Heiko Michael Hartmann seit Jahren umtreiben und die sie nun in diesem spektakulären Buch aufeinanderprallen lassen. Ein intellektueller und poetischer Wettstreit im Jenseits, mit spannendem Ausgang. Provokant, überraschend und unterhaltsam: ein stilistisches und inhaltliches Vergnügen!"--Provided by publisher.

In all religions, in the medieval West as in the East, ideas about the past, the present and the future were shaped by expectations related to the End. The volumes Cultures of Eschatology explore the many ways apocalyptic thought and visions of the end intersected with the development of pre-modern religio-political communities, with social changes and with the emergence of new intellectual and literary traditions. The two volumes present a wide variety of case studies from the early Christian communities of Antiquity, through the times of the Islamic invasion and the Crusades and up to modern receptions, from the Latin West to the Byzantine Empire, from South Yemen to the Hidden Lands of Tibetan Buddhism. Examining apocalypticism, messianism and eschatology in medieval Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist communities, the contributions paint a multi-faceted picture of End-Time scenarios and provide their readers with a broad array of source material from different historical contexts. The first volume, Empires and Scriptural Authorities, examines the formation of literary and visual apocalyptic traditions, and the role they played as vehicles for defining a community's religious and political enemies. The second volume, Time, Death and Afterlife, focuses on key topics of eschatology: death, judgment, afterlife and the perception of time and its end. It also analyses modern readings and interpretations of eschatological concepts.

Gasparo Contarini was the first to write a critique of the treatise On the Immortality of the Soul by his teacher Pietro Pomponazzi. The future Cardinal claims that the human soul can be perfected during life with the body and that it is philosophically sound ? and not only an article of faith ? that the soul is immortal.0Gasparo Contarini (1483-1542) was a member of a patrician family in Venice. He studied in Padua, among others with Pietro Pomponazzi, before engaging in the duties of a diplomat for his city. Due to his merits in negotiating with the Protestants he was created Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. In his scarce leisure time he kept writing philosophical and scientific studies.0The editors are a group of scholars connected with Palacký University in Olomouc (Czech Republic).
