This book examines the issue from a different perspective – group identity. The way the Lord’s Supper is organised and celebrated tells us what is important for the celebrants. Their group identity is publicly displayed. This paradigm places the subject of a common Christian Eucharist in a new light. 13,9 x 21,4 cm, ca. 296 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-02221-0 HERDER Meier-Hamadi, Frank / Schumacher, Ferdinand The theologian Josef Ratzinger Der Theologe Josef Ratzinger In his various functions Joseph Ratzinger has been part of and helped form the history of the Catholic Church for more than half a century. His works on pressing issues from the present and the past are greeted both with great enthusiasm and vehement rejection. What is the core of his theology? How have his opinions developed or changed? What is the critical potential of his theology? 13,9 x 21,4 cm, ca. 240 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-02222-7 February 2007 February 2007 THOMAS SÖDING Eberhard Schockenhoff Grundlegung der Ethik JESUS UND DIE KIRCHE Was sagt das Neue Testament ? Ein theologischer Entwurf FREIHEIT TUGEND SCHULD LIEBE HOFFNUNG NORM GEBOT HALTUNG HERDER HERDER Schockenhoff, Eberhard Söding, Thomas The foundations of ethics. A theological draft Grundlegung der Ethik. Ein theologischer Entwurf Jesus and the church. Was does the New Testament say? Jesus und die Kirche. Was sagt das Neue Testament? Schockenhoff’s coherent presentation of the basic issues underlying theological ethics brings to an end the prevalence of normative ethics which has dominated debate on autonomous morals and ethics of faith, as well as teleological or deontological ethics since the seventies. This is now replaced by a moral-ethical approach. In his book Schockenhoff presents the latest theological insights on all ethical issues. Why is there a church? Who is part of it? How can it serve God and the people? Has is got a future? Thomas Söding believes we need to reflect on the church’s New Testament origins – Jesus and the early Christian communities. He offers no quick fixes, but presents important approaches to the New Testament and reminds us of the fresh spirit of the church’s beginnings which is the lifeblood of the church. 15,1 x 22,7 cm, ca. 576 pages, Hardcover ISBN: 978-3-451-28938-5 13,9 x 21,4 cm, ca. 304 pages, Hardcover ISBN: 978-3-451-29099-2 March 2007 May 2007 www.herder.de 20 Beuken, Willem A. M. Stein, Edith Isaiah 13-27 Jesaja 13-27 Spiritual texts II Geistliche Texte II The second volume of the Isaiah commentary, Isaiah 13-27 deals with the oracles on foreign peoples and the vision of Zion, the place of universal regal rule of Yahweh. The commentary is an excellent example of the new orientation of Isaiah research that does not concentrate solely on individual segments, but also examines the overall compositional theme from a theological standpoint. This is the second of two volumes of spiritual texts containing little known and previously unpublished writings by Edith Stein. It contains personal notes, talks, contemplations, prayers, poems, liturgical hymns, texts of unsentimental piety and humour and day to day thoughts. The spiritual texts compiled in this book portray a comprehensive, personal portrait of a great author. 17,0 x 23,7 cm, ca. 368 pages, Hardcover ISBN: 978-3-451-26835-9 13,9 x 21,4 cm, ca. 280 pages, Hardcover ISBN: 978-3-451-27390-2 March 2007 May 2007 2 3 Hedwig Meyer-Wilmes Kleine Hinführung zur feministischen Theologie Claus Arnold Kleine Geschichte des Modernismus Pascendi MICHAEL FIEDROWICZ THEOLOGIE DER KIRCHENVÄTER Grundlagen frühchristlicher Glaubensreflexion Loisy Sodalitium Pianum Lamentabili Tyrrell Leid erfahren – Sinn suchen Das Problem der Theodizee Altes Testament Caritaswissenschaften Dogmatik Dogmengeschichte Fundamentaltheologie Kirchenrecht Liturgiewissenschaft Missionswissenschaft Alte Kirchengeschichte Mittlere Kirchengeschichte Neuere Kirchengeschichte Neues Testament Ökumenische Theologie Pastoraltheologie Philosophie Religionspädagogik Religionswissenschaft Theologische Ethik Antimodernisteneid HERDER Pius X.

This is a good reading for those who want to read God’s word from a different perspective. A new book in the series „Living Bible“. Abraham and Sarah’s blessing from God was to be passed on to all nations. Jews, Christians and Muslims alike refer to this couple in their respective faiths. Dorothea Sattler and Paul Deselaers take a fresh look at the man and woman in this age old story and examine its significance for us today. In 2007 we celebrate the 800th anniversary of Elisabeth of Thuringia, Hungarian princess and wife of Count Ludwig IV. She represents passionate devotion to brotherly love as portrayed in the legend of the miracle of the roses. The Bishops of Hessen and Thuringia examine the significance of this radical Christian, Elisabeth, for us today. 10,1 x 15,0 cm, ca. 96 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-29255-2 12,0 x 19,0 cm, ca. 144 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-29299-6 12,5 x 20,5 cm, ca. 144 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-29354-2 February 2007 February 2007 March 2007 Käßmann, Margot Hope is sown. 14 encounters on the way of the cross Gesät ist die Hoffnung. 14 Begegnungen auf dem Kreuzweg Jesu 14 meditations of the cross. Margot Käßmann examines the people Jesus meets on his way to the cross – his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, the wife of Herod, etc. and is fascinated by what all these figures signify to us today: the anxious, the greedy, the loving, the indifferent. The people who meet Jesus don’t know what will happen, but it becomes obvious that the seed of hope is sown long before Easter. 12,0 x 19,0 cm, ca. 96 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-29356-6 January 2007 DANIEL BOGNER ANDREAS DROUVE Ziel oder Zufall ?

Legends of Jacob’s Path Die Wunder des heiligen Jakobus. Legenden vom Jakobsweg Binding to God. A theological Doctrine of God Gott verbindlich. Eine theologische Gotteslehre Human rights – a sell-out? Why we need to act. Ausverkauf der Menschenrechte? Warum wir gefordert sind The author draws on his extensive knowledge of material on Jacob’s Path. He tells of the miraculous stories and legends associated with various places along the route. Dr. Andreas Drouve also includes information on the historical background of the tales and legends and many illustrations. The Doctrine of God must demonstrate that a certain language is used when talking about God. It needs to justify itself to biblical tradition and to questions posed by man. It requires a discipline of thought and humility with regard to different cultural and historical regions. It must concentrate on the essential. Werbick’s draft fulfils these demands.

He emphasizes why the state, society and, in particular Christianity, must speak out vociferously for human rights. Bogner also addresses the issue of human rights within the church. A highly informative book that encourages us to recognize and assume our responsibilities. 13,9 x 21,4 cm, ca. 144 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-29382-5 March 2007 The Archbishop of Vienna portrays the essential difference between the Catholic belief in the creation and the fundamentalist misunderstanding of the biblical story. He opposes the tendency to raise Darwin’s Theory of Evolution to a weltanschauung of „evolutionism“ that rejects the belief in the existence of a meaningful creation. Christian faith calls upon man to use his powers of reason to determine whether intention or coincidence is the acceptable alternative.

Von der Herzmitte des Christseins Servant of joy. Priestly life – priestly ministry Diener der Freude. Priesterliche Existenz – priesterlicher Dienst Psychologists have established a new trend: „fatigué de soi“ – a form of „melancholia“. Depression is threatening to become a basic trait of man’s character. Ludger Schulte confronts „melancholia“ with the „beating heart“ of Christian faith. In this very readable book he reveals the great promise of salvation. On the anniversary of his ordination 50 years ago Walter Cardinal Kasper writes about priestly life and ministry. A priesthood directed to the spiritual existence of God and pastoral ministry of the people in the community. A priesthood whose central task it is to bear witness to the message of reconciliation and whose heart lies in the celebration of the Eucharist, thus helping to inspire joy among worshippers. In fifteen steps Andrea Schwarz explains the significance of the church building, the objects and the people in it and the celebration of the Eucharist itself.

The authors give advice on the use of liturgical dance. Dance as a moving message: for welcome and dismissal – for symbols such as a tree, a shield, or for themes on life and faith, e.g. finding one’s way in life, giving and receiving, cross and resurrection. The study published by the Heidelberg Research Institute „Sinus Sociovision“ reaches the conclusion that the church is hardly represented in various milieus. Michael Ebertz’ book calls on us to understand the results of church sociology as opportunities to develop social forms and styles of care that actually reach the people. 13,9 x 21,4 cm, ca. 176 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-29556-0 March 2007 17,0 x 24,0 cm, ca. 128 pages, Paperback ISBN: 978-3-451-29553-9 Is everything over when we die or is there a life after death?

On the one hand it is a modern industrial state, on the other it adheres anachronistically to a patriarchal way of life and a deep sense of family honour.

How capable of reform was the GDR? What role did the church play in resisting the system? Did credit from the west keep the GDR artificially alive? How important was social security to the East German people? How did the East Germans regard their state? Questions that are still relevant today. Islam, a world religion at the centre of debate. How does Islam regard the issue of human rights? What about the relationship between man and woman? Are democratic developments possible? Do Muslims want to rule the world?
