Two chapters lay the foundation for that response in the Old Testament's concept of empire, and six others address the response to the notion of empire, both human and divine, in the various authors of the New Testament. A final chapter investigates how the church fathers regarded the matter. The essays display various methods and positions; together, however, they offer a representative sample of the current state of study of the notion of empire in the New Testament. 320 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What makes us authentically human According to Maurice Friedman, world-renowned Martin Buber scholar, translator, and biographer, it is genuine dialogue. 'When there's a willingness for dialogue,' Friedman says, 'then one must 'navigate' moment-by-moment. It's a listening process.' Friedman addresses our humanity in ever-unique ways through his dialogue with philosophy, literature, religion, and psychotherapy. At least two things make this book new. Friedman presents his wide-ranging thought directly in five original essays forming an 'intertextual compass,' which is then elaborated upon by colleagues familiar with his work. Second, a special feature of this book is found at the end of each part which invites readers to engage with questions drawn from and pointing toward Friedman's writing. The book's intended audience includes teachers, scholars, and students interested in dialogical approaches to any of the human sciences. In a time when we are in danger of losing our human birthright, Friedman's interdisciplinary insights point us again to 'the touch of the other.' 332 pp. Englisch.

She argues convincingly that tethered to the tradition that gave rise to it, the term theologia crucis references a theological system centered around notions of false and true glory, and an ancient conviction that from the cross of Jesus Christ comes a revelatory and a saving Word. The apostle Paul, Athanasius, a school of medieval mystics, and the Reformer Martin Luther, are all shown to be significant classical representatives of these ideas. Bradbury then argues that seminal twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth exhibits many of the classical crucicentric system's defining characteristics, so that he himself might fairly be deemed a modern theologian of the cross. Until now Barth's pivotal role in this long, thin, crucicentric tradition has been unsung. This book thus sheds important new light on Barth's theology. 340 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Tradition of the Gospel Christians explores the post-Soviet tradition of evangelical Christians originating from the ministry of the Victorian revivalist preacher Lord Radstock in St. Petersburg in the 1870s. In an effort to resolve the current evangelical crises of theology and identity, this study provides an analysis of the tradition's history reflecting on its restorationist tradition, the contours and vectors of its theology, and its practice of biblical interpretation. The historical analysis reveals that the major causes of the crises of identity and theology pertain to the socio-political upheavals, which, in turn, led the tradition to develop strategies to maintain relevance in its changed contexts. The socio-political shifts were also responsible for the lack of emphasis on research and scholarship, which contributed to a difficulty in finding the necessary resources and intellectual virtues to deal with the collapse of the Soviet Union.Building on the discoveries of the historical analysis, Andrei P. Puzynin offers a new historical and theological paradigm by reconstructing the self-identifying narrative and theological framework in critical dialogue with recent developments in Anglo-American evangelicalism and postliberalism. Following the trajectory of the evangelical tradition in the post-Soviet context, a trajectory which relies on Western thought, the book adopts the narrative theological method of reading the world though the lens of Scripture. The self-identifying narrative of the community is reconstructed through a theological reading of the previous identity-constructions, in the light of recent discussions on Christ and the powers. The result of this study helpfully explains the dynamics of Eastern evangelicalism in a traditionally Russian Orthodox setting.''Andrey Puzynin 's work is of supreme importance for understanding the identity of 'Gospel Christians' today. He has a rare ability to combine original historical research with mature theological reflection and in doing so contributes to contemporary hermeneutical discussions . . . Evangelical history has too often been confined to Britain and America. Puzynin helps us to fill out the picture of a universal movement.''Derek TidballLondon School of Theology''Andrey Puzynin's research is a much needed and distinctly relevant work for eastern European evangelicals as well as for western readers interested in this region. It is indeed an original contribution not only because of its critical approach to the evangelical tradition and evaluation of little known primary materials, but also for the answers on the identity of this group in present Eurasia. This book is a treasure and a challenge to those interested in the subject.''Peter PennerTCM, Austria''In this original and challenging study, Andrey Puzynin argues that the St. Petersburg Gospel Christians belong firmly within the framework of Western evangelicalism. The book makes a useful contribution to modern historical theology, and moves beyond that discipline's usual confines, in order to suggest dialogical possibilities between evangelical and non-evangelical constituencies. Puzynin seems set to become a major figure in Eastern European theology, and this book deserves to be widely read.''Frances KnightUniversity of Nottingham''Andrey Puzynin's book is a lucid and informative analysis of a significant Christian movement in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. It merits reading by those interested in the history of Christianity or in contextualization. I consider it a major contribution to the growing scholarly literature on world Christianity.''Tite TienouTrinity Evangelical Divinity SchoolAndrey P.
