Forschungen zur Regionalgeschichte

Brill | Schöningh

Die Bedrohung und Untergrabung von Demokratien werden heute wieder lebhaft diskutiert. Viele aktuelle Entwicklungen erinnern an das Scheitern der Weimarer Republik. Dieser Band fragt nach dem Anteil der damaligen "Rechtskatholiken", unter ihnen Franz von Papen, am Untergang der ersten deutschen Demokratie. Gehörten sie zu den "Totengräbern der Republik"?
Die Beiträge nähern sich der Definition des Begriffs "Rechtskatholizismus" und analysieren das ambivalente Verhältnis von "Rechtskatholiken" zur katholischen Amtskirche und die Verbindungen in den Vatikan. Auch regionale Netzwerke rechtskatholischer Akteure in ihren Hochburgen Westfalen, Rheinland und Schlesien sowie wichtige überregionale Bezüge und transnationale Perspektiven werden aufgezeigt. Ausblickend wird diskutiert, wie viel Katholisches in heutigen rechten Strömungen steckt ¿ und wie viel Rechtspopulismus im heutigen Katholizismus.

<ul><li>Books of the Year- The Sunday Times&nbsp;</li><li>Winner, Catholic Media Association Book Award, First Place, English Translation</li><li>Books We Enjoyed in 2025 - The Gospel Coalition&nbsp;</li></ul>After four years of research in partnership with over twenty scientists and esteemed experts, this book explores one of the most significant questions we face: the existence or non-existence of a creator God. For more than four centuries, the scientific discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo, Darwin, and Freud created the impression that we could explain the workings of the Universe without the idea of a creator--God. By the beginning of the twentieth century, materialism had become the dominant theory of the time. And yet, with unexpected and astonishing force, the pendulum of science has swung back in the other direction, owing to a rapid succession of discoveries: the theory of relativity; quantum mechanics; the Big Bang; the theories of expansion, heat death, and fine-tuning of the universe. This newly acquired knowledge has upended the certainties of the twentieth century collective consciousness. Once the only acceptable theory, materialism is increasingly considered an irrational belief. The authors of this highly readable book retrace the fascinating history of these scientific breakthroughs and offer a rigorous overview of the new proof of the existence of God. God: the Science and the Evidence is an invitation to reflect and debate the place of God in science.

God, the Science, the Evidence

A leadership expert, clinical psychologist, and New York Times bestselling author asks the big questions and shares his early mental health struggles in this groundbreaking, uplifting book. World-renowned psychologist and leadership expert Henry Cloud has impacted millions of lives through his groundbreaking books and through his work coaching leaders of the most influential organizations in the world. But few people know the details of his own story and how he became one of the most beloved and respected psychologists and faith influencers in America. &nbsp; In this indelibly personal and vulnerable book, Dr. Cloud leads us through his early struggles with illness and depression and the miracles that healed him and led him to his calling as a healer of others. Through masterful storytelling combined with a deeply nuanced understanding of the human mind, Dr. Cloud invites readers to inhabit the spaces of suffering and elation that make us most human and to walk alongside of him as he ponders the great questions we are so often afraid to ask but which also give life meaning. &nbsp; Written in the vein of such groundbreaking books as An Unquiet Mind, When Breath Becomes Air, and On Being Mortal, Why I Believe is a masterwork in spiritual exploration from one of the great scientific minds and faith voices of our time.

What gives our lives meaning and allows us to rise above pain and disappointment to live with purpose, compassion, security, and love?

A Psychologist's Thoughts on Suffering, Miracles, Science, and Faith

Why I Believe

Das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil umfasst Beschlusstexte, die besondere Beachtung fanden: die Liturgiekonstitution, die Kirchenkonstitution Lumen gentium und die Pastoralkonstitution Gaudium et spes. Erstaunlicherweise fand im Gedränge der damals anstehenden Fragen einer konzilsgemäßen Erneuerung der Kirche die Konstitution über die Offenbarung, Dei verbum, keine vergleichbare Beachtung. Für Stefan Knobloch zu Unrecht. Für ihn fragt Dei verbum nach dem Fundament des Offenbarungsglaubens. Er will in diesem Buch zeigen, dass die Bedeutung der Frage, was Offenbarung eigentlich sei, in ihrem Gewicht für einen zeitgemäßen Glauben, für eine zeitgemäße Theologie nicht gleich ermessen werden kann. Knobloch widmet sich in einer "synchronen Kohärenz" dem Vorkommen und dem Begriff der Offenbarung in den Konzilstexten und nimmt einen Blick auf das Ringen um das Verständnis der Offenbarung in Dei verbum und im Dekret über die Religionsfreiheit Dignitatis humanae. Knobloch folgt dem französischen Soziologen und Philosophen Bruno Latour, der in seinen Überlegungen zur Ontologie der Netzwerke und der Ontologie der Existenzweisen ein Interpretationsmodell anbietet, von dem her der Offenbarungsglaube heute in ein helleres Licht treten kann.

Offenbarungsglaube in neuen Farben

"Unheil," curse, disaster: according to German scholar Gerhard Kittel, this is the Jewish destiny attested to in scripture. Such interpretations of biblical texts provided Adolf Hitler with the theological legitimatization necessary to realizing his "final solution." But theological antisemitism did not begin with the Third Reich. Ferdinand Baur's nineteenth-century Judaism-Hellenism dichotomy empowered National Socialist scholars to construct an Aryan Jesus cleansed of his Jewish identity, building on Baur's Enlightenment prejudices. Anders Gerdmar takes a fresh look at the dangers of the politicization of biblical scholarship and the ways our unrecognized interpretive filters may generate someone else's apocalypse.

The Image of Jews and Judaism in Biblical Interpretation, from Anti-Jewish Exegesis to Eliminationist Antisemitism

Salvation Is from the Jews

The first volume of Peter Seewald's authoritative biography. By any reckoning, the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI was extraordinary, with moments of high drama. Not the least of these was his resignation from office in February 2013, the first papal resignation in 500 years. But who was Joseph Ratzinger? In this definitive biography, based on meticulous historical research and many hours of taped interviews with his subject, Peter Seewald shows the exceptional circumstances in which the exceptionally talented son of a Bavarian policeman became the first German pope for 950 years. In this first volume, covering the years 1927-1965, we witness Joseph Ratzinger's early days, living above his father's police station. Ratzinger came to adulthood through the years of National Socialism. Though hostile to the rise of Hitler, his family knew well about Dachau and Ratzinger himself was conscripted into the Hitler Youth. Joseph Ratzinger proved to be a man of exceptional intellectual gifts and by the time of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) he was already noted as one of the outstanding intellects present and was nominated a 'peritus' or theological expert. This was also the time of the start of his friendship with the Swiss theologian Hans Küng who was to become his nemesis. Of his predecessor, Pope Francis has said: 'Pope Benedict was a great Pope, great for the penetration of his intelligence, great for his important contribution to theology, great for his love of the Church and human beings, great for his virtues and faith'. Even in this first volume, we begin to understand how this came to be true.

Benedict XVI: A Life Volume One

Law and Religion

This book argues that Christianity has something of value to say about various issues of direct relevance to contemporary society, such as the place of human rights and individual claims of conscience. It shows that, in many cases, Catholic and Protestant thinking on areas such as natural law is not as divergent as it is often thought.

Catholic and Protestant Approaches to Law

The Legal Legacy of the Reformation

In this groundbreaking book, Sally Douglas excavates biblical and early Christian understandings of Jesus as the female divine. Drawing from her expertise as a New Testament scholar and theologian, Douglas accessibly sets out the evidence for Jesus Sophia and then explores its practical implications, both for the church--often suffocated by God-as-male imagery--and for our day-to-day lives. Questions about discipleship, biblical interpretation, and theology are investigated in relation to Jesus Sophia's hospitality, friendship, anger, non-retaliation, and care for all things. In this process understandings of the cross are revisited, female imagery for God is reclaimed and celebrated, fresh and ancient practices of faith are offered, and inclusive, exquisite liturgies are shared. With dynamism, humor, faithfulness, and creativity, Douglas encourages, unsettles, and supports readers, as they discover Jesus Sophia for themselves.

Jesus Sophia

The majority of Christians in China over the course of the last century have worshipped not in missionary-founded churches or in congregations affiliated with the contemporary Three-Self Patriotic Movement or Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association, but in independent and unregistered churches, often labeled ""house churches."" From the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements within the mission-church landscape of the early twentieth century, to the Calvinist Reformed movement in the present-day Protestant church, the vibrant faith life and extraordinary church growth of this sector of Chinese Christianity offer a fascinating witness and lesson to the world church. Yet despite the size of their congregations and the spread of their teachings, the theologies of these independent and unregistered churches have drawn much less academic attention than those of mission-church or ""state church"" theologians. This volume presents a selection of new studies on ""house church"" theologians and theologies. These begin in the early twentieth century with studies of the Spiritual Gifts movement in Shandong and the nature of Pentecostalism in Hong Kong, and arrive in the present with essays on the changing role of women's leadership in the church, given the spread of Reformed thought and the theological implications of Westminsterian Neo-Calvinism in China. The second section of the volume is devoted to the theological writings and lives of the two most prominent independent church figures of the twentieth century: Wang Mingdao and Ni Tuosheng (Watchman Nee). These chapters include studies of spiritual theology; of Ni's doctrine of humanity, his views on salvation, and his prison letters; and of Wang Mingdao's life and moral thought, his Confucian beliefs, and his understanding of the relationship of Christians to the state. The third section of the volume foregrounds church voices like the fundamentalist Samuel Lamb and the mediating figure Yang Shaotang, and considers local developments in Roman Catholicism in light of Vatican reforms.
