Set against the backdrop of the rise of right-wing Christian nationalism in Eastern Europe, this book declares that Catholic theologians ought to be understood and studied as intellectuals: socially and historically situated creators of national cultural traditions. While the Romanian government funds thriving schools for the countrys Hungarian minority, NGOs founded by Transylvanian Hungarians continue to organize volunteers to supplement this formal pedagogy. These volunteers understand themselves to be reviving a national tradition of "serving the people" by educating the regions rural Hungarian populace. While this book is about the challenges Catholic educators face in teaching villagers, it is just as much about their new effort to call groups of volunteers from across the border in Hungary to teach alongside them. In these encounters, Transylvanian Hungarian educators remake their intellectual tradition, especially ideas about the basis of pedagogical authority, the ethical character of the nation, and the social location of selfhood. When contemporary Catholic intellectuals urge teachers to manifest their national self-consciousness, they carry with them the assumption that selfhood emerges where humans collaborate with God. While Transylvanian Hungarian intellectuals are enmeshed in constant competition, by focusing on contemporary theologians New Magyar Apostles unmasks the struggle over the nature of divine presence that animates this revival of a Christian national tradition of intellectual service.

Be better, be more beautiful, perform better! Self-optimization is all the rage. What do theology and the church have to say about it? Should they issue a warning and strike up a cultural pessimistic tune? Maybe they could activate their own resources, which have the potential for discursive compatibility with phenomena of self-improvement. This study brings the discourse of enhancement into dialogue with the locus of healing in Calvin. Besser werden, schöner werden, leistungsfähiger werden! Selbstoptimierung liegt im Trend. Was haben Theologie und Kirche dazu zu sagen? Sollen sie den Mahnfinger heben und ein kulturpessimistisches Lied anstimmen?Oder sie könnten eigene Ressourcen aktivieren, die das Potential der diskursiven Kompatibilität mit Selbstverbesserungsphänomenen aufweisen.Dies versucht die vorliegende Arbeit und bringt den Enhancement-Diskurs aus Bioethik und Biomedizin in gegenwartshermeneutischer Absicht mit dem reformierten Lokus der Heiligung am Beispiel von Johannes Calvin ins Gespräch.Sie vertritt dabei die These, dass die Stärke und Aktualität von Calvins Theologie im Zusammendenken von Anspruch und Entlastung liegen. Sie wertschätzt die – auch verbessernde – Leistung des Menschen und kann dieselbe gleichzeitig als vollendet durch Gottes Wirken wissen.

"Vorstellungen des Ungeborenen finden sich seit der Antike in medizinischen, philosophischen und theologischen Texten. Die bisherige Forschung untersucht Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede dieser Vorstellungen in verschiedenen gelehrten und religiösen Kontexten, weist allerdings für die syrisch-christliche Literatur eine Leerstelle auf. Dieses Buch stellt einen grundlegenden Beitrag zum Schließen dieser Lücke und zur transkulturellen Philosophiegeschichte dar. Es untersucht mehrere wichtige Werke des bedeutenden Universalgelehrten Bar ʿEbrāyā und zeichnet dessen literarische Bearbeitung griechisch-philosophischer, christlicher und islamischer Vorlagen zu einer eigenständigen "embryologischen Synthese" nach"-- Provided by publisher.

Karl Barth’s commentary on Paul’s epistle to the Romans, in its two editions (1919 and 1922), is one of the most significant works published in Christian theology in the 20th century. This book, which landed “like a bombshell on the theologians’ playground,” still deserves close scrutiny one hundred years after its publication.In this volume, New Testament scholars, philosophers of religion and systematic theologians ponder the intricacies of Barth’s “expressionistic” commentary, pointing out the ways in which Barth interprets Paul’s epistle for his own day, how this actualized interpretation of the apostle’s message challenged the theology of Barth’s time, and how some of the insights he articulated in 1919 and in 1922 have shaped Christian theology up to our day. With his commentary, the young Swiss pastor paved the way for a renewed, intensely theological interpretation of the Scriptures.The volume thus centers of some of the key themes which run through Barth’s commentary: faith as divine gift beyond any human experience or psychological data, the Easter event as the turning point of the world’s history, God’s judgment and mercy and God’s one Word in Jesus Christ.This volume represents a major contribution to the interpretation of Karl Barth’s early thought.

Opuscula theologica et polemica is a collection of minor works of Maximus the Confessor that has not received much scholarly attention so far. Nevertheless, it offers A unique insight into the Christological and personological universe of the Christian thinker. The present volume is the first attempt to bring together scholars of different traditions and to apply different approaches - theological, philosophical, philological and historical - to this seminal work.
