Das Christentum aus der Sicht der Anderen by Ulrich Berner Pdf

Der Band widmet sich einem zentralen Thema religionswissenschaftlicher wie auch missionswissenschaftlicher Forschung: In klassischen Entwürfen beider Fächer wird das Christentum häufig bewusst oder unbewusst als Maßstab für die Beschreibung anderer Religionen gewählt. So kommt es dazu, dass z.B. der Buddhismus als "atheistische Religion" oder der Islam als "Religion ohne Kirche" beschrieben wird. Es ist zwar schon lange bekannt, dass Religionen nicht "objektiv" dargestellt werden können, gleichwohl ist für eine sachgemäße Beschreibung eine doppelte Distanznahme - sowohl von der "eigenen" wie auch von der "fremden" Religion - erforderlich. Der Blick auf das Christentum aus der Perspektive der Anderen ist dafür von besonderem Interesse. Als missionarische Religion hat das Christentum immer wieder ebenso vielfältige wie komplexe Interpretationen provoziert. Diese Interpretationen waren in den seltensten Fällen durch eindeutige Lehrentscheidungen a priori festgelegt, sondern sind in konkreten historischen Kontexten gewachsen - ein Prozess, der sich bis heute fortsetzt. Angesichts des gegenwärtigen Religionspluralismus verlagert sich dieser Prozess zunehmend auch in die westliche Binnendiskussion über religiöse Themen. Nicht selten gerät dabei die Religionswissenschaft zwischen die Fronten und wird als eine Art Alternativtheologie bemüht, wogegen die Missionswissenschaft als theologischer Brückenkopf im fremdreligiösen Terrain in Anspruch genommen wird. Umso wichtiger ist für beide Wissenschaften das bewusste hermeneutische Bemühen, eigene Voreingenommenheiten aufzudecken und zu hinterfragen. Dieses "Durchdenken der Religion 'von außen'" (Fritz Stolz) kann besonders dort in fruchtbarer Weise eingebracht werden, wo es um die Analyse interreligiöser Begegnungen geht: Als Bemühen um korrekte Darstellung und angemessenes Verstehen der Interaktion zwischen den Religionen unterscheidet es sich vom unmittelbaren Gespräch zwischen Religionsvertretern, kann diesem jedoch aufgrund seiner methodischen Distanziertheit und seiner bewussten Außenperspektive von Nutzen sein. Die vorliegende Publikation geht auf ein Symposium zurück, das die Fachgruppe 'Religionswissenschaft und Missionswissenschaft' der Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft für Theologie im Oktober 2001 an der Universität Bayreuth durchgeführt hat. Mit Beiträgen von Christoph Bochinger (Bayreuth), Max Deeg (Wien), Andreas Grünschloß (Göttingen), Norbert Klaes (Würzburg), Rainer Neu (Wesel), Monika Schrimpf (Tokio), Johannes Triebel (Erlangen) und Annette Wilke (Münster).

Intercultural Theology, Volume Three by Henning Wrogemann Pdf

Ten Outstanding Books in Mission Studies, World Christianity and Intercultural Theology for 2019 — International Bulletin of Mission Research (IBMR) Christianity is not only a global but also an intercultural phenomenon. In this third volume of his three-volume Intercultural Theology, Henning Wrogemann proposes that we need to go beyond currently trending theologies of mission to formulate both a theory of interreligious relations and a related but methodologically independent theology of interreligious relations. Migratory movements are contributing to an ongoing process of religious pluralization in societies that tended to be more religiously homogenous in the past. Interreligious platforms, movements, and organizations are growing in number. Meanwhile, everyday life continues to be characterized by very different modes of interreligious cooperation. Coming to a better understanding of such modes is a major concern for societies with high levels of religious and cultural plurality. Wrogemann's conviction is that much would be achieved if we posed new and different questions. When it comes to interreligious relations, what is significant, and what is meaningful? What exactly is a dialogue? Which factors are at play when people from different cultural and religious traditions come into contact with each other as physical beings in real-life situations? What about the different images of the self and of the other? Which interests and hidden motives underlie which claims to validity? Exploring these questions and more in masterful scope and detail, Wrogemann's work will richly inform the study of interreligious relations. Missiological Engagements charts interdisciplinary and innovative trajectories in the history, theology, and practice of Christian mission, featuring contributions by leading thinkers from both the Euro-American West and the majority world whose missiological scholarship bridges church, academy, and society.

The Interpretation of Tang Christianity in the Late Ming China Mission by Matteo Nicolini-Zani Pdf

The book contains the first annotated English translation of the Correct Explanation of the Tang “Stele Eulogy on the Luminous Teaching” (1644) by the Jesuit Manuel Dias Jr. and other late Ming Chinese Christian sources interpreting the “venerable ancestor” of the Jesuit mission, namely, the mission of the Church of the East in Tang China. Based on this documentation, the book reconstructs the process of “appropriation” by Jesuit missionaries and their Chinese converts of ancient traces of Christianity that were discovered in China in the first half of the seventeenth century, such as the Xi’an stele (781) and other Christian relics

Between Mumbai and Manila by Manfred Hutter Pdf

Der Band bietet einen Einblick in die Vielfalt des Judentums in Asien zwischen Mumbai und Manila. Einige Beiträge behandeln Fragen der untrennbaren Verflechtungen zwischen Politik und Judentum, andere scheinen auf den ersten Blick primär Lokalstudien zu jüdischen Gemeinden in Südasien, Südostasien und China zu sein. Aber es ist unverkennbar, dass auch solche lokalen Gemeinden immer in ein Netzwerk des globalen Judentums eingebettet sind, zugleich aber in Interaktion mit den dominierenden Religionen in den jeweiligen asiatischen Ländern stehen und dadurch interkulturelle Kontakte und gegenseitiges Verständnis fördern. Dadurch bietet der Band neue Einsichten in die »Internationalität« des Judentums und zeigt die Notwendigkeit grenzüberschreitender Fragestellungen, um die Kenntnis über das Judentum zu erweitern, indem der häufig auf Europa und Amerika zentrierte Blick in der Erforschung des Judentums überwunden wird.

The Luminous Way to the East by Matteo Nicolini-Zani Pdf

"The Missionary Dynamism of the Church of the East It would be an attractive undertaking for the historian to be able to follow in the footsteps of those heralds of the Gospel, who went forth from Antioch with firmness and tenacity in those early days making their way to the East . . . building new centers of Christian irradiation, creating communities and spreading the doctrine of Jesus everywhere. The interest would certainly grow if we were familiar with the challenges faced by these first evangelizers on their way to the Far East. Gaining that knowledge, however, is no easy task. Christ's teaching had to cover immense distances on its road from Antioch towards the East. . . . The details of this diffusion, however, remain obscure. There are no Acts of the Apostles, no Letters of Saint Paul, no contemporary or near-contemporary documents that might tell us how and when Christianity from the region of the Euphrates and the Tigris crossed over the mountainous regions of the Orient, how through Media and Parthia it went south to Herat and Segestan, and how it penetrated eastward, crossing the Margiana (Merv), into the region of the Oxus and the Jaxartes, and finally how it entered today's Russian province of Semireč'e, then Turfan, and then further south into the heart of China"--

Die islamischen Wissenschaften aus Sicht muslimischer Theologen by Bülent Ucar,Ismail H. Yavuzcan Pdf

Dieser Band bietet einen fundierten Einblick in die aktuelle Diskussion um den Stellenwert der islamischen Theologie im türkischsprachigen Raum und die Forschungsschwerpunkte dieser Theologen. Er zeichnet sich vor allem durch seine vielfältige Themenauswahl, unterschiedliche methodologische Herangehensweisen und inhaltlich-wissenschaftlichen Anknüpfungspunkte aus. Dazu gehören z. B. kritisch-hermeneutische Textexegesen, metaphysisch-philosophische Kontextuierungen und die Verdeutlichung überzeitlich-existenzieller Bedeutungszusammenhänge sowie die Behandlung gesellschaftspolitischer Themen in Hinsicht auf islamische Studien. Die Diskussion um islamische Studien ist umso wichtiger, als eine universitäre Öffnung für die Islamische Theologie und ReligionspReligionspädagogik in Deutschland ein wichtiger Referenzrahmen für den allgemeinen Stand der theologischen Forschung ist.

Die Religionswissenschaft und das Christentum by Hjelde Pdf

What are religious studies? What is theology? And what is their relationship to each other? In the light of such theoretical and methodological questions this historical inquiry asks what characterizes the study of Christianity within comparative religion—as distinguished from that of Christian theology? In the three main sections of the book representative texts from the history of comparative religion—including Schleiermacher and some other theological forerunners in the 19th century—are analyzed from a methodological and a material point of view. On this basis an answer is sought to the following questions: What has been the place of the study of Christianity within this discipline? On which methodological principles has it been based? And what kind of picture of Christianity has it presented?

Ecumenics from the Rim by John D'Arcy May Pdf

John D'Arcy May's achievements motivate these essays on ecumenics. Amid today's scepticism about the ecumenical movement's relevance, the authors demonstrate the necessity of working together for the betterment of all. This book deepens our understanding of how theology, peace and reconciliation studies and interfaith dialogue critically cooperate for the flourishing of earth's life. The perspective of church unity amid ecclesial division is broadened to embrace interfaith and intercultural issues: ecumenics becomes visible as the intellectual paradigm of our times.

Werbung für das Christentum und Häresiographie by Sebastian Hanstein Pdf

Die Studie nährt sich der Refutatio omnium haeresium „Hippolyts von Rom“ von gänzlich neuer Perspektive an. Sie bietet eine detaillierte Analyse der Gattung der Schrift, die als Werbeschrift für das Christentum identifiziert wird. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt in der Herausarbeitung der Intention und Arbeitsmethode ihres Verfassers vor dem Hintergrund der Methode kaiserzeitlicher Autoren. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie der Verfasser seine Vorlagen kreativ für seine Bedürfnisse verändert und zusammenstellt. Durchgänge durch das Sondergut lassen es wahrscheinlich werden, dass dieses ein weitgehendes literarisches Produkt des Verfassers ist. Eine umfangreiche Untersuchung der sog. Peraten, die Strukturanalyse und gründliche inhaltliche Auseinandersetzung verbindet, schließt sich an. The study approaches the Refutatio omnium haeresium by "Hippolytus of Rome" from a completely new perspective. It offers a detailed analysis of the genre of the writing, which is identified as a protreptikos, a promotional writing for Christianity. One focus is the elaboration of the intention and working method of its author against the background of the method of authors of the imperial period. It is shown how the author creatively changes and compiles his original sources to suit his needs. Passages through the special material make it likely that it is largely a literary product of the author. This is followed by an extensive study of the so-called Peratics, which combines structural analysis and thorough examination of content.
