Ecumenical Christianity „revamped“.
Reforms in the church.
Ökumene - überdacht
Church unity still seems very distant.
What is lacking is a universal theory
drawing together all the ecumenical
processes. This book examines
ecumenical practice in order to
continue ecumenical theology as a
theory of ecumenical processes. It is
clear that Ecumenical Theology in
the 21st century needs to redefine
itself in the light of the strong and
speedy growth of Pentecostal and
charismatic movements.

Men and women of different ethnic
origins, religions and cultures
contribute to a discussion on this
subject. They are involved in a
variety of fields: theology, church,
the Abrahamic religions, politics,
journalism and human sciences. Also
included is a fundamental reflection
on the concept of „Spirituality“
and a synopsis of the results of the
debate.

Siebenrock, Roman A. /
Amor, Christoph J. (Ed.)
Zweites Vatikanisches Konzil
Acts of God.
11 October 2012 was the 50th
anniversary of opening of the II
Vatican Council. What was decisive
for the spirit of the council? What
obligations did it bequeath? Did its
position on ecumenism, freedom
of religion, freedom of conscience
or its attitude towards other nonChristian religions break with
Christian tradition or is it in line
with this tradition? What pastoral
concerns did it raise?
Handeln Gottes
This book provides a historical
contribution
to
the
current
discussion. It presents examples of
successful and failed reforms from
all eras of ecclesiastical history.
The themes discussed stretch
from early Christian structural
reforms to the episcopate office,
celibacy, to a reform movement in
the DDR whose fate was recently
reconstructed from Stasi files.

Between Jesus‘ word and the
norm.
Zwischen Jesu Wort und Norm
Can the church accept the reality
of modern day living and be true
to the word and norm of Jesus?
People whose marriages have failed
and have remarried feel rejected by
the church. Official requirements
seem to ignore failed situations.
This book provides a valuable
contribution to the discussion of
remarried divorcees.

Worauf es letztlich ankommt
The issues relating to Eschatology
concern us all - everyone has the
same ultimate destiny. In areas
unconnected with theology this
subject is scarcely addressed, and
even the church practitioners avoid
talking about our ultimate destiny.
This book takes an interdisciplinary
approach and addresses the issue as a
whole, to reach an understanding of
what counts in the end.

In the light of the biblical tradition
it is unthinkable for God not to act
amongst us here and now. Scientific
discussion finds this concept difficult
to integrate. This book contains
contributions from various different
theological backgrounds, as well as
non-theological disciplines such as
history of art, psychology or political
science and documents a discussion
within the research centre (RGKW)
at the University of Rostock.

God‘s word in human words.
Gottes Wort in Menschenwort
The Constitution of Revelation of
the II Vatican Council signified a
break-through for catholic theology
in modern biblcal exegesis. The
following decades witnessed several
new approaches to biblical exegesis
which have found acceptance in
catholic theology. The Council‘s
anniversary is a good point in time
for a critical assessment of the
situation.

A model with no future?
Glaube und Kultur
Christianity in dialogue.
Marriage and family.
Ehe und Familie
Leitbild am Ende?
The concepts of faith and culture are
different, yet closely related. This
book examines the culturally defining
power of Christian faith. Faith as a
personal response to God‘s call to
his people can provide orientation
in life and one‘s respective culture.
This encompasses in a general sense
everything that helps us grow and
develop as human beings.
Christentum im Dialog
The question of successful Christian
identity in a plural society remains
highly topical. This book provides
important impulses from the
areas of Christianity and culture,
Christianity and world religions,
Christian identity as well as social
welfare work in Christianity. The
book is dedicated to Günther Riße,
Professor of Theology in Vallendar,
who celebrates his 60th birthday in
April 2014.
The subject of marriage and family is
of particular significance in current
social and ecclesiastic discussions.
What challenges do marriages and
families face in today‘s society?
What insights can we gain from
the Gospels? What incentives does
a Catholic perspective offer on this
subject? Contributions by Ottmar
Fuchs,
Hans-Joachim
Höhn,
Helmut Hoping, Dietmar Mieth,
Gerhard Ludwig Müller, FranzJosef Overbeck, Günther Risse etc.
A heated discussion has broken out
on the binding character of marriage
and family, its internal form, its legal
and social rights. Christian churches
also hold widely differing opinions,
as the discussion on the guidelines
issued by the EKD show. This
book highlights the most urgent
challenges and draws attention to
resources that have not yet been
drawn upon.

Söding, Thomas
Striet, Magnus (Ed.)
Höhn, Hans-Joachim
Striet, Magnus (Ed.)
Changing direction.
„Not beyond the world“.
Getting life in shape.
Faith in a modernized world.
Umkehr der Kirche
„Nicht außerhalb der Welt“
Das Leben in Form bringen
Nach dem Gesetz Gottes
The church demands that people
change the course of their lives with high moral expectancies.
But what about the church itself?
Church reform is necessary and
the New Testament could play a
key role. Inspired by Jesus‘ good
news, it reports on the experiences
of the first Christian communities,
church mission, the role of men
and women, the sacraments. This
book deals not only with what has
passed, but critically examines its
contemporary significance.
One of the basic illusions is that
the church is kind of counter
world to the present we live in.
This book analyses the ecclesiastic
and religious situation today from
a sociological aspect. It considers
why sociological analysis is an
integral part of the church which
for theological reasons want to be a
church of the world.
„Take care!“ - We say this to each
other as we take our leave. How
do we do this in reality? HansJoachim Höhn reflects on how a
limited life can become a formative
and successful existence. He
develops a model on how to connect
philosophical
enlightenment,
religious inspiration and practical
ability to live in a contemporary and
appropriate manner.
The right to freedom in the roman
catholic church- the basic right in
a modern word - has undergone
a difficult process of recognition.
This book questions whether
freedom understood as an autonomy
is compatible with the concept
Christian. Does it allow freedom
of conscience and freedom of
autonomy?

Missing God.

The resurrection of Christ in
Early Christianity
Monotheism under suspicion of
violence.
It is anything other than
embarrassing today to be religious.
However, the absence of the
question: Where is God amidst
at all the suffering in the world?“
is noticeable. Yet, in the cultural
field, the experience of missing
God is omnipresent. Magnus Striet
examines this phenomenon. Albert
Camus, Philip Roth, Jean Améry,
Georg Büchner, Heinrich Heine,
Charles Darwin, and others, are his
guests.
Thomas
Aquinas‘
Eucharistic

Patristic Studies describe the
beginnings and development of
faith in the resurrection in the
Early Church. Paul regarded the
resurrection as the basis of Christian
hope. In the 4th century it was a
central part of Christian doctrine.
For the period in between, Vincent
provides a surprising approach to the
beginnings of Christian teachings,
the existential discussions on life
and death - always with the cross and
suffering in mind.

Karrer, Leo
Striet, Magnus
Werbick, Jürgen / Fuchs, Gotthard
Schockenhoff, Eberhard
Faith that loves life.
Radical contingency.
Failure and faith.
The Sermon on the mount.
Glaube, der das Leben liebt
Radikale Kontingenz
Scheitern und Glauben
Die Bergpredigt
Could it be that this life is a kind of
listening post for the next world?
Leo Karrer leads the reader through
worldly experiences to the depths of
Christian faith - to faith that loves
life. His book encourages us to have
staying power in the fragmented
experiences life offers; trusting in
the hope that faith gives us. He
reveals new approaches to life, to
Jesus of Nazareth and to a Christian
way of life.
From a theological point of view,
that what is, is only that way because
God wants it to be that way. How
is such a contingency compatible
with evolutionary theory? What
criteria are relevant for the two
different concepts of the world as
omnipotent on the one hand, and
creation on the other? Can the idea
of an omnipotent God be upheld
in view of the scientification of the
world and culture understood as an
expression of social construction?
What role does faith play?
The authors examine a modern day
problem: the suppression of failure
in a world where only success counts.
They critically examine a pragmatic
approach to failure according to the
motto „Failing successfully“. They
counter with God whose son‘s life
and death was closely identified
with those who were unsuccessful.
Christians are challenged to relieve
the diversity of suffering by standing
up for those who have failed.
The sermon on the mount is a
core text of the New Testament.
The
well-known
theologian,
Eberhard Schockenhoff, examines
fundamental questions raised by
Jesus‘ provocative demands. What
do they mean? Are they relevant
today? He illustrates how Christians
throughout the ages have struggled
with this text and he presents
the results from the most recent
exegetical research.

This book is inspirational in the

examines Jesus‘ dealings with the
poor, the poverty movements in the
high Middle Ages, the II Vatican
Council and the current secular
context following the example of the
Mission Medical Sisters in BerlinMarzahn.

(Ed.)
The meaning of Christmas
Committing ourselves to Jesus
Christ.
Theology and language by
Anselm Grün
Was Weihnachten bedeutet
Bekenntnis zu Jesus Christus
This book contains Karl Rahner‘s
meditations „Since I became your
brother ...“ and „The answer of
silence“. These texts invite us to
discover the secret of Christmas that God came into our world and
spoke his final, most beautiful word
into the world, the word became
flesh: I love you, you world and
you man. God is so dear to my very
being that he fills the abyss of my
heart.
Karl Rahner questions what it
means to profess our faith in Jesus
Christ today. He develops a concise
Christology and discusses - years
before the Declaration on the
Relation of the Church with NonChristian Religions of the Second
Vatican Council - a Pauline based
(Rom 9-11) relationship between
Judaism and Christianity. He also
examines the question of salvation
for all souls, as the grace of Christ
is the „secret essence of all reality“.

The Bible is at the core of Christianity
but it is not an easy book. Both
the Old and the New Testament
passages contain dark, difficult
passages, that some Christians bend

a hard shell can hide a sweet fruit.
Anselm Grün interprets these texts
and illustrates that the aim of the

as God intended.

Peter Dyckhoff‘s meditations on

the Mother of God. Where human
life reaches its limits, where there
seem to be no more answers, it is
here that Mary can enable a new
beginning. People with a living
relationship to Mary find it easier
to master life‘s crises, to keep their
faith despite setbacks. Mary leads us
to the hidden center: to God‘s love
for us humans and our love for him.

Children need religion.
Kinder brauchen Religion
Religion has been declared a private
matter. People should live according
to their own convictions. Many
parents are uncertain whether to
bring their children up religiously
or not. Kindergartens and schools
teach religious elements, but not a
particular denomination. This book
is forthright in its message: children
need to belong to a religious
denomination to enable them to
understand the world as a whole
and form a complete identity. Georg
Langenhorst provides practical,

40 paths to life. A guide to Lent
Discovering God - testifying to
God.
In the service of God.
The Lord‘s Prayer.
Wir in Gottes Dienst
Das Vaterunser
Gott entdecken - Gott bezeugen
This book provides basic theological
information for those with honorary
involvement in liturgical services:
readers, helpers at communion and
cantors. It presents the functional
centers in the church and the tasks
relating to the different offices.
It deals particularly with liturgy,
expression and posture. Introductory
services for the commissioning of
these honorary members complete
the individual modules.
The Lord‘s Prayer is prayed every
day by millions of people. At first
glance it may seem very simple,
but it has a deeper dimension, and
for those receptive to it, it could
be the key to humanity and inner
peace. Klaus Berger interprets the
prayer taking religious, historical,
theological and spiritual aspects
into account. A thought-provoking,
theological meditation.
40 Spuren auf dem Weg ins Leben
Christianity believes that the
questions of death and eternal
life have been answered through
the death of Jesus Christ. This
book contains 40 ideas for Lent
relating to death and resurrection.
Simple, honest and intensive daily
experiences lead us to a deeper
understanding of what our lives
mean in the light of Christ‘s
resurrection. The stories provide
insight into what life after death can
mean for us.

Following her successful books

Schwarz has now published a guide
to Pentecost. In her book she
examines the meaning of Pentecost
for us today and the significance
of the Holy Spirit in Christian
spirituality: the experience of
closeness and friendship, of fire and
enthusiasm, of wind and being on a
journey.
Over 130 common and personal
prayers for the beginning of the
day in a down to earth, powerful
language. A great start to the day!
„When your words came, I ate
them; they were my joy and my
heart‘s delight“ (Jer. 15, 16). Such
a longing for God‘s word helps
ministers understand and speak of
what is often glossed over in our
day to day lives. This collection is a
rich diversity of sermons from very
different communities, conveying
the encouraging and living word
of God. Thematic sermons and
sermons for special days throughout
the church year.

Eckhart von Hochheim, born
approx. 1260, better know as
Meister Eckhart, is one of the most
significant German mystics. Mystics
are „people who have experienced
something“ (Karl Rahner). Thomas
Polednitschek presents Meister
Eckhart as a „practical philosopher“
whose knowledge of life provides
orientation for us to lead wise and
good lives.
Advent? Each year we promise
faithfully to spend more time
thinking about the true meaning of
Christmas. This book helps us do
just that. The texts from the Gospel
of Luke help us fulfill our longings
for a sense of belonging, for feeling
safe and secure, for new beginnings,
for warmth and light. They tell of
the shepherds, not as missionaries,
but as ordinary people, returning to
their ordinary lives.
Discovering a deeper meaning to
Christmas: Pierre Stutz guides us
through the Christmas period and
shows us new, different ways to
celebrate Christmas. This book is
full of fresh thoughts, meditations

A conversation about God, Spirit
and Money
Caught between science and
faith. Personal texts
Two people, two lives which
couldn‘t be more different. One,
the son of the former chancellor
Helmuth Kohl, whose life has been
scarred by personal and professional
ups and downs. The other, a monk
for nearly 50 years and a successful
Cellerar who places importance on
the simple things in life. Both are
connected by their search for the
meaning of life.
In April 2014 Gerhard Schröder will
celebrate his 70th birthday. In his
latest book he analyses Germany‘s
strengths and weaknesses and
outlines his vision for the future.
Gerhard Schröder not only talks
about his own biography in the
interview, he also gives fascinating
insights into the mechanisms of
power. He still has a passion for
politics and a clear perception of
reality.
Gespräche über Gott, Geist und Geld
Zwischen Wissenschaft und Glauben
Peter Sloterdijk and Thomas Macho
talk about God, Spirit and Money,
about hell as a „constitutional body
„, about faith in God and faith in
money, about capitalism as a form of
religion and the connectionbetween
spirit and money. Germany‘s leading
philosopher and Thomas Macho,
an expert on cultural studies, reveal
new perspectives on God, spirit and
money - off the beaten track.
Sociologist, Franz-Xaver Kaufmann,
Catholic, famous intellectual and
recognized scientist, reflects on his
life. His biography is exemplary
and typical for his generation. The
tension between authoritative,
ecclesiastical tradition and an
open, less restrictive environment
is evident. He also examines the
cultural and social aspects of JewishChristian tradition.

Talented violinist, Judith, is ten

melody to Steven Spielberg‘s film
„Schindler‘s list“. She delves deeper
into the history of the holocaust and
meets Mr Emge, a violinist, who
survived the holocaust as a child
because he was on Schindler‘s list.
The meeting changes their lives. A
story full of memory, pain, hope full of life.
A society full of egoists driven
by the desire for more cannot
survive. Greed makes us spiral out
of control; it demands more and
more material things and is never
satisfied. It sees people around us
as competitors. Happiness is joy,
vitality, inner freedom and vastness.
Greed narrows the mind and
hardens the heart. Schorlemmer
highlights the consequences of
greed for individuals and for society
in general.
The oceans are the source of all
life on earth and the basis of our
existence. Their destruction has
reached undreamt of dimensions.
Mojib
Latif,
well-known
oceanographer and climatologist,
urgently appeals for the preservation
of the oceans and warns of the
continuing pollution of the oceans
and the dangers and consequences
of climate change.
Seven children - seven destinies.
Freya Klier describes the flight
and expulsion of seven children
from East Prussia. Finally, after
decades of silence they are given
the opportunity to tell the story of
their childhood, from the summer
of 1944 to the present day. This
moving book reveals new insights
into the last months of war. A book

He advocates freedom rather than
a culture of fear The head of the

that we gain inner strength from
God. Being firmly rooted in God is
more important than our standing
in society. He encourages us to stick

rather than letting others rule our

Over the last two years Salafism has

What is their opinion on violence?

A moving story. The son, a wellknown film maker, moves back to
his childhood home to look after
his mother who is suffering from
Alzheimer. He writes about the joy
and the pain. His mother loses her
memory, his family is in crisis, but
reforms itself through this dreadful
tragedy. David gains new insight
into his parents‘ lives and rediscovers
his childhood.
Alzheimer is not an illness, but a
phantom. A purposefully created
construct to fuel fears and open up
the markets for new medicines. The
fear of forgetting strikes the nerve
of a society that is growing old:
millions of people swallow suspect
pills. Cornelia Stolze shows that
Alzheimer is not an unavoidable
destiny, but a question of lifestyle.
How to be happy with your
partner without wanting to

What counts is the life you‘ve

As pastoral care worker, Monika
Rudolph meets with prostitutes.
Those who normally give pleasure
to others are cared for by Monika
Rudolph. They talk about their
reasons for choosing this profession.
Some are pushed into prostitution
due to force of circumstances,
others choose this path deliberately.
Monika Rudolph gains a closer
insight into these women‘s lives. A
moving book.
Most mothers have an instinctive
love of their children - however,
over 40% of all children suffer
from a strained relationship with
their mothers. Psychologist Louis
Schützenhöfer has written this
book not against mothers, but for
daughters and sons to help them
understand the mechanisms of their
own difficult relationships with their
mothers and help them find release.
About half of the marriages in
Germany end in divorce with
both parties using the services
of a solicitor. An alternative is
mediation. A mediation solicitor
helps resolve problems in a fair and
amicable manner, without litigation.
Separation will still be painful,
but they will not part in dispute.
The author uses many examples
illustrating that mediation is help for
self-help. The best problem solvers
are the couples themselves.

their bare hands to rebuild their

a medal for their war injuries,

Camille Claudel - a life in stone
Gabriele Münter
Schlussakkord
Gabriele Münter‘s paintings are
highly appealing. Her life is fast
moving - she lives with Kandinsky,
unmarried, a scandal in those days.
Together with Marc and Kandinsky
she forms the „Blue Rider“. It takes
her a long time to start painting
again following her separation from
Kandinsky, but when she does her
paintings are remarkably expressive
and powerful.
„Dying is simply the continuation of
life.“ This comment by Katja, dying
of cancer, became a key sentence for
Henriette Kaiser as she supported
her friend on her final journey. The
author describes how watching
someone dying can be an enriching
experience, despite all the pain, the
grief and the feelings of helplessness.
She was the sister of the famous poet
Paul Claudel, and pupil and lover
of Rodin. Camille Claudel was an
independent artist who got caught
up in a drama of dependence and
family duty, jealousy and a desperate
battle for independence. This book
documents the life of this unusual
and passionate woman.
Niki de Saint Phalle
She named her sculptures Nanas.
Images of femininity, colourful
and powerful lightness. And Niki?

that it‘s only us who lack inspiration:
Even the geniuses of past and
present have had their crises and
felt rejected by their creative muse.
Yet, little things inspired them to
great works - be it a mouldy apple in
the drawer or speaking to the shop
keeper in a toy shop. This book
helps us discover our own creative
talent.

One year at Côte d‘Azur.

A year in Switzerland. Day to day

A year in Madrid. Everyday life
A year in Vienna. Everyday life.
Ein Jahr in Madrid
Ein Jahr in Wien
Ein Jahr an der Côte d‘Azur
Ein Jahr in der Schweiz
Warm winters, azure blue water, the
rich and the beautiful - that is the
Côte d‘Azur. Annika Joeres meets
a vet who treats rich Monegasque
dogs and a homeless German in
Cannes. She picks olives in the wild
hinterlands, drives Russian tourists
through Nice on her rickshaw, goes
crazy with the workmen and plays
rugby with friends. Never a dull
moment!
No risk, no gain. Newlyweds
Caroline and her husband decide
to move to Switzerland. There is a
good job waiting for him, and she is
sure she will find one soon. A rollercoaster journey not only through
the Swiss Alps, but also through
the jungle of Schwiizerdüütsch as
well as unwritten rules of operating
a washing machine. A year in
Switzerland - much better than
chocolate.
Anne Grüttner moved to Madrid
together with her husband and her
dog. She discovers why the Spanish
hate working and can‘t wait for the
weekend. She is amazed at the way
the Spanish live with the economic
crisis. She explores the food markets,
the bars and villages, successfully
declines the invitations to watch pigs
being slaughtered, but can‘t avoid a
bull fight. A year in Madrid and its
fantastic consequences.
Austria is rated highly in terms of
life-style and quality. The Germans
appreciate the good food, well-paid
jobs and the more laid-back attitude
to life. Austrians are getting used to
a range of German accents, but at
the end of the day, it is their country
and they lay down the rules. Tonja
Pölitz explores the cafés of Vienna,
watches over shopping bags and
discovers more about Vienna and
the Viennese.

Bedtimes and nights can be strenuous
times for young families. Each child
has its own individual sleep pattern,
depending on the need for closeness,
warmth, security etc. Letting a child
scream or training it to sleep is not
recommendable. Co-sleeping helps
everyone have a relaxed night‘s sleep
and makes children stronger to be
able sleep alone.

Resilience in day-care centres.
Resilienz im Kita-Alltag
Changing family structures, poverty,

build up children‘s resilience in daycare centres. The authors draw on
practical examples from their rich
professional experience to illustrate
how children‘s resilience can be
strengthened.
