"The T&T Clark Handbook of Political Theology is a comprehensive reference resource informed by serious theological scholarship in the three Abrahamic traditions. The engaging and original contributions within this collection represent the epitome of contemporary scholarship in theology, religion, philosophy, history, law, and political science, from leading scholars in their area of specialization. Comprised of five sections that illuminate the rise and relevance of political theology, this handbook begins with the birth of contemporary "political theology," and is followed by discussions of historical resources and past examples of interaction between theology and politics from all three Abrahamic traditions. The third section surveys the leading figures and movements that have had an impact on the discipline of political theology in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; and the contributors then build on previously discussed historical resources and methods to engage with contemporary issues and challenges, emphasizing interreligious dialogue, even while addressing concerns of relevance to a particular faith tradition. The volume concludes with three essays that look at the future of political theology from the perspective of each Abrahamic religion. Complete with select bibliographies for each topic, this companion features the most current overview of political theology that will reach a broader, global audience of students and scholars."--

"The T&T Clark Handbook of Christian Theology and Climate Change entails a wide-ranging conversation between Christian theology and various other discourses on climate change. Given the far-reaching complicity of "North Atlantic Christianity" in anthropogenic climate change, the question is whether it can still collaborate with and contribute to ongoing mitigation and adaptation efforts. The main essays in this volume are written by leading scholars from within North Atlantic Christianity and addressed primarily to readers in the same context; these essays are critically engaged by respondents situated in other geographic regions, minority communities, non-Christian traditions, or non-theological disciplines. Structured in seven main parts, the handbook explores: 1) the need for collaboration with disciplines outside of Christian theology to address climate change; 2) the need to find common moral ground for such collaboration; 3) the difficulties posed by collaborating with other Christian traditions from within; 4) the questions that emerge from such collaboration for understanding the story of God's work; and 5) God's identity and character; 6) the implications of such collaboration for ecclesial praxis; and 7) concluding reflections examining whether this volume does justice to issues of race, gender, class, other animals, religious diversity, geographical divides and carbon mitigation. This rich ecumenical, cross-cultural conversation provides a comprehensive and in-depth engagement with the theological and moral challenges raised by anthropogenic climate change."--

Während internationale Sport- und Kulturspektakel die urbane Kultur Lateinamerikas vermarkten, sind viele Städte weiter von Ungleichheiten und Ausgrenzung geprägt. Die Städte verdichten sich zunehmend zu Kristallisationspunkten sozialer Probleme, aber auch innovativer Projekte. Im Band werden diese vielfältigen Dynamiken vorgestellt und diskutiert

"Combining the insights of many leading New Testament scholars writing on the use of social identity theory this new reference work provides a comprehensive handbook to the construction of social identity in the New Testament. Part one examines key methodological issues and the ways in which scholars have viewed and studied social identity, including different theoretical approaches, and core areas or topics which may be used in the study of social identity, such as food, social memory, and ancient media culture. Part two presents worked examples and in-depth textual studies covering core passages from each of the New Testament books, as they relate to the construction of social identity. Adopting a case-study approach, in line with sociological methods the volume builds a picture of how identity was structured in the earliest Christ-movement. Contributors include; Philip Esler, Warren Carter, Paul Middleton, Rafael Rodriquez, and Robert Brawley."--Bloomsbury Publishing

"This handbook surveys the long relationship between the often overlapping studies of the world around us and concepts of the Divine, from the ancient Greeks to the modern eco-theology movement. From Plato to Aquinas, from Augustine to Hildegard of Bingen, from discussions of the Hebrew Bible to the environmental sciences, this opens the field of theology and science to new concepts, voices, and futures. For the first time in a single volume, experts in theology, history, philosophy and sciences, explore how both science and theology have contributed to the long history of racism and misogyny in human society. By naming and tracing both evils, this handbook makes them a central piece of future discussions of science, theology, and Christianity. T&T Clark Handbook to Christian Theology and the Modern Sciences is divided into 5 sections, including essays on many key theological figures: ancient conceptions (3000 BCE - 200 CE), the long middle ages (300-1400), reformations and early modern sciences (1500-1800), evolution to modernity (1800-2000), and contemporary issues in Christian Theology. The book concludes with a survey chapter on the many Christian theological approaches to the environmental sciences today, defining the relationship between Christian theology and the modern sciences in the 21st century"--

Die Frauen spielen im Geschichtswerk des Titus Livius (ca. 59 v. Chr. - 17 n. Chr.) eine erstaunlich große Rolle. Gefehlt hat aber bisher eine umfassende Arbeit, die die Frauengestalten aus der Sichtweise des römischen Historikers deutete. Konkret geht es um das Problem: Welche positive oder negative Lehre kann und soll der zeitgenössische Leser aus dem Schicksal der dargestellten Frauengestalten ziehen? Dieser und ähnlichen Fragen geht die vorliegende Monographie nach und fächert dabei das breite Spektrum der Frauengestalten auf, das Musterbilder der Keuschheit ebenso wie skrupellose Mörderinnen umfasst, Heldinnen ebenso wie Verräterinnen oder auch Königsmacherinnen.
