As a multi-faceted introduction to sacramental theology, the purposes of this Handbook are threefold: historical, ecumenical, and missional. The forty-four chapters are organized into the following parts five parts: Sacramental Roots in Scripture, Patristic Sacramental Theology, Medieval Sacramental Theology, From the Reformation through Today, and Philosophical and Theological Issues in Sacramental Doctrine. Contributors to this Handbook explain the diverse ways that believers have construed the sacraments, both in inspired Scripture and in the history of the Church's practice. In Scripture and the early Church, Orthodox, Protestants, and Catholics all find evidence that the first Christian communities celebrated and taught about the sacraments in a manner that Orthodox, Protestants, and Catholics today affirm as the foundation of their own faith and practice. Thus, for those who want to understand what has been taught about the sacraments in Scripture and across the generations by the major thinkers of the various Christian traditions, this Handbook provides an introduction. As the divisions in Christian sacramental understanding and practice are certainly evident in this Handbook, it is not thereby without ecumenical and missional value. This book evidences that the story of the Christian sacraments is, despite divisions in interpretation and practice, one of tremendous hope.

Das Werk des spätantiken Philosophen und Theologen Dionysius Areopagita (~500) hat in der abendländischen Geistesgeschichte eine außerordentlich reiche Wirkung entfaltet. Auffällig ist, dass dabei allein seine Schrift Über die kirchliche Hierarchie von philosophischer Seite kaum Beachtung gefunden hat. Die vorliegende Arbeit behebt dieses Defizit und sucht den genuin philosophischen Rang dieser gewöhnlich als rein theologisch geltenden Schrift nachzuweisen. Die Untersuchung orientiert sich an Leitbegriffen (politeia, hexis, theourgia, cheiragôgia, anagôgia, henôsis), um an ihrer besonderen Verwendung im Kontext dieses Werkes nachzuweisen, dass Ideen, Motive und Vorstellungen aus der neuplatonischen Philosophie unter den neuen christlichen Prämissen eine schöpferische Weiterentwicklung erfahren. Damit ergeben sich nicht nur neue Einsichten hinsichtlich der Stellung des Dionysius in der Entwicklung der neuplatonischen Denkgeschichte und der Einheit des Corpus Dionysiacum, sondern auch neue systematische Gesichtspunkte in den Bereichen der politischen Philosophie, Ethik, Religionsphilosophie, Ästhetik, Anthropologie, Erkenntnistheorie, Sprachphilosophie, Metaphysik und Mystik. Im Zentrum der Arbeit steht der Begriff der "Theurgie", der ihr auch den Titel gegeben hat. Die Transformation, der Dionysius das überkommene neuplatonischen Verständnis von theourgia unterzieht, fasst das Verhältnis von Denken und rituellem Handeln auf eine neue Weise, die auch im Rahmen der heutigen Philosophie bedenkenswert ist. Der Titel Theurgisches Denken gewinnt somit einen doppelten Sinn: Die Liturgie zu denken, bedeutet, Theurgisches zu denken und das Denken, das sich in ihr vollzieht, ist selbst theurgisch.

Ritual deposition is not an activity that many people in the Western world would consider themselves participants of. The enigmatic beliefs and magical thinking that led to the deposition of swords in watery places and votive statuettes in temples, for example, may feel irrelevant to the modern day. However, it could be argued that ritual deposition is a more widespread feature now than in the past, with folk assemblages - from roadside memorials and love-lock bridges, to wishing fountains and coin-trees - emerging prolifically worldwide. Despite these assemblages being as much the result of ritual activity as historically deposited objects, they are rarely given the same academic attention or heritage status. As well as exploring the nature of ritual deposition in the contemporary West, and the beliefs and symbolisms behind various assemblages, this Element explores the heritage of the modern-day deposit, promoting a renegotiation of the pejorative term 'ritual litter'.
