Christliche Ethik bei Schleiermacher - Christian Ethics according to Schleiermacher

Theology

“This highly engaging, timely contribution introduces Hermann Peiter's magisterial work on Schleiermacher's Christian ethics. In essays luminously summarized or translated by the noted Schleiermacher scholar Terrence N. Tice, Peiter here insightfully explores Schleiermacher's thesis that Christian teaching regarding faith (Glaubenslehre) and life (Sittenlehre) are expressive of communion with God in Christ, experienced in community.”

Eternal Blessedness for All?

Theology

“Eternal Blessedness for All? masterfully locates Schleiermacher's argument for universalism--as outlined in his essay on predestination--in relationship to concrete ecclesial concerns and broader doctrinal implications. This goldmine of information and insight is both friendly to readers new to Schleiermacher and provocative enough to prod seasoned scholars in new directions. With clear prose Hagan sketches a picture of Schleiermacher that is simultaneously comprehensive, critical, and compelling.”

Indigenous Theology and the Western Worldview

Theology

“Woodley has gifted us with a book that cannot be put down. With a balance of wisdom, humility, and humor, he introduces us to a history that has not been told but that holds truths needed for living well on Turtle Island/North America. In this book you will discover powerful comparative analysis, stories well told, and the sacred character of land, place, and space. Woodley introduces us to the Indigenous Jesus, and you will never be the same after meeting him.”

Living Traditions

History & Biography

“Living Traditions is an apt title for this intriguing collection of voices exploring how the Reformation, for better or worse, continues to shape church and society. This text is both provocative and evocative; it challenges simplistic slogans and is an elixir for historical amnesia. Living Traditions is a finely crafted polyphony of both praise and lament.”

Songs as Locus for a Lay Theology

Theology

“In this timely study of the history of the contextualization of Christian theology in a southern Indian context, Philip Mathai advances the conversation begun in Comparative Theology. He helps readers to understand the determinative role music plays both in expressing and developing the theology of a faith community. This book deserves careful attention and a wide reading!”

The Rule of Faith and Biblical Interpretation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Robert Fennell’s The Rule of Faith and Biblical Interpretation narrates the history of the Regula Fidei in concise, tight prose peppered with quotations that both illumine and intrigue readers. This work demonstrates a mastery of material and a capacity for synthesis as Fennell helpfully pictures the Rule of Faith as a constellation of lights illuminating our reading of Scripture.”

Waiting at the Foot of the Cross

Theology

“McCarroll's unique contribution shines through as she advances 'waiting at the foot of the cross' as a posture of receptivity that eschews easy cynicism while anticipating a hope not seduced by the official optimism symptomatic of American exceptionalism. A must read!”
