Education, Literary Culture, and Religious Practice in the Ancient World

This book examines popular and scholarly representations of ancient Assyria through both ancient and modern sources. The ancient sources include Babylonian, Biblical and Egyptian, while the modern sources include the well-publicized excavations of Nineveh in the 19th century, which captured the popular imagination of Christian Europe. In order to interrogate these representations, the reader is taken back to examine the scholarly and cultural allegiances of the ancient Greek and native Egyptian sources, then to Assyrian self-representation and finally to an interrogation of the cultural and scholarly allegiances of contemporary historians. Straddling Biblical studies, religious studies, classics and ancient Near Eastern studies, this book examines how popular opinion can be informed by scholarly orthodoxy, and simultaneously, how scholarly consensus often rests on cultural orthodoxy.

T&T Clark New Studies in Bonhoeffer’s Theology and Ethics

This incisive volume offers fresh historical and constructive engagements with the ever fascinating and perplexing theological ethics of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Matthew Puffer examines the historical crises out of which Bonhoeffer composed the manuscripts that would become his posthumously published magnum opus, Ethics. He explores the ways in which Bonhoeffer understood his work as a response not only to the ecclesial, social, and political crises of Nazi Germany, but more specifically to a "crisis in ethics," the failure of traditional forms of ethics to effectively respond to the state of emergency. Bonhoeffer famously wrestles with novel proposals for how Christians should think about responsibility, complicity, culpability, and guilt in ways that have left not only casual readers but also philosophers and Bonhoeffer scholars scratching their heads. In these chapters, Matthew Puffer argues for a critical reconsideration of the ethics supposed to have informed Bonhoeffer's participation in German resistance, but also for an extension of Bonhoeffer's thought to the global, ecological, and intergenerational crises of ethics that we face today. An ethics of hope proves to be an essential and ineliminable feature of Bonhoeffer's thought, evident in his insistence that ethics is fundamentally about how coming generations will live. In Bonhoeffer we find fresh inspiration for contemporary debates regarding the meaning and political implications of human dignity, integrating the wellbeing of not-yet-existing future generations into the moral calculus regarding what it means to treat present day persons with dignity.

Bonhoeffer's Unfinished Theological Ethics and the Future of Human Dignity

Ethics in Crisis, Ethics in Hope

Jewish and Christian Texts

Erich S. Gruen investigates a remarkable phenomenon in religious and literary history: the freedom with which Jewish writers in antiquity retold and recast, sometimes distorted or bypassed, biblical narratives that ostensibly had the status of sacred texts. Gruen asks the question of what prompted such tampering with tales that carried divine authority, and what implications this widespread practice of liberal revising had for attitudes toward the sacrality of the scriptures in general. Gruen focuses upon writings of the Second Temple period, an era of the deep integration of Jewish history and the Greco-Roman world. Gruen brings to the task the training of a classicist and ancient historian rather than that of a biblical textual critic or a rabbinics scholar, not pursuing the commentaries of the later rabbis with their very different approaches, methods, and goals. As such, Gruen's emphasis rests upon narrative rather than legal matters, the haggadic rather than the halakhic. The former lends itself most readily to the creative instincts of the re-tellers.

Great Theologians Series

Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology emerged from the intersection of several contesting streams of the Protestant tradition: high theological liberalism, and the 'Luther renaissance' and 'dialectical theology' movements of the early decades of the 20th century. It is marked by consistent and intense engagement with the Bible read as Christian Scripture and so centred upon Jesus Christ. To appreciate Bonhoeffer's theology requires that we grasp his commitment to Christ as the self-communicative presence of the living God whose identity and agency determines not only Christian life and thought, but all of reality itself. Bonhoeffer's theology continues to influence the direction of contemporary Christian life as well as provoke serious theological reflection wherever it is engaged. Examining Bonhoeffer's theology as a whole, this book points readers to the essential concerns of Bonhoeffer's theology with an eye to the varied careers this theology has had since his death. Following an introductory discussion of his life and literary legacy, Part One considers Bonhoeffer's christology, arguing for its decisive significance to his vision of the nature and tasks of Christian theology. Part Two traverses Bonhoeffer's thought, treating in turn his ecclesiology, anthropology and ethics, and Christian politics. Exploration of each of these themes is deepened by examining the reception and impact Bonhoeffer's theology upon the intense church struggles of the last half of the 20th century, particularly those within the former East Germany, North America, and South Africa under apartheid

Theologian of the Word of God

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Doolittle and Heim examine the complex interplay between modern medicine, religion, and spirituality. Medicine and religion share many concerns: suffering and illness, healing and well-being. The biological model of illness empowers medicine to bring dramatic improvements in physical health. At the same time, modern medicine often ignores the spiritual needs of patients and deeper challenges of holistic healing. In turn, religious institutions have always supported people through suffering, and often pioneer the delivery of health care to those in need. However, religious convictions sometimes conflict with medical perspectives; and some forms of religious belief and practice may be injurious to health. Each side can stereotype the other---medicine as sterile and unfeeling, religion as irrational and injurious. This book draws upon broad resources of Biblical theology, history, and contemporary thought to explore questions of faith, the role of the church, the lived experience of illness, and the modern practice of medicine. Designed for classroom use this title will enable students to: - Explore the Christian understanding of illness and healing as informed by the Gospels, the early church, medieval theology, and contemporary theologians - Addresses contemporary issues of illness, such as cancer, AIDS, addiction, and the pandemics through a theological lens - Explore how religious observance and spirituality are associated with beneficial health outcomes - Reconcile deep questions of illness and suffering through a deeper understanding of theology and modern medicine
