English summary: The high significance attached to the world of the gods and beliefs in the writings of Julian is undeniable. Julian's imperial position and biography have always attracted considerable attention to his oft articulated religious thoughts, making Julian a key figure for the understanding of the religious culture of late antiquity. Based on a systematic analysis of Julian's works, Sara Stocklin-Kaldewey examines the ideas that form the basis of the emperor's piety and discusses their consistency, motivation and consequences. In doing this, she reveals recurring motifs and problems, and uses these to locate her subject on the spiritual map of late antiquity. In many cases they prove to be representative of the religious discourse of the time and of the major questions debated by Christian thinkers, philosophers and members of the educated pagan elite. German description: Die hohe Relevanz der Gotter- und Glaubenswelt in den Schriften Julians ist unubersehbar. Seine kaiserliche Stellung und Biographie haben dem vielfach artikulierten religiosen Gedankengut seit jeher Beachtung verschafft, denn sie machen Julian zu einer Schlusselfigur fur das Verstandnis der religiosen Kultur der Spatantike. In einer systematischen Analyse von Julians Gesamtwerk untersucht Sara Stocklin-Kaldewey die Vorstellungen, die der Frommigkeit des Kaisers zugrunde liegen, und erortert ihre Koharenz, Begrundungen und Konsequenzen. Dabei werden wiederkehrende Motive und Problemstellungen sichtbar, anhand derer eine Verortung auf der geistigen Landkarte der Spatantike vorgenommen wird. Vielfach erweisen sie sich als reprasentativ fur die religiosen Diskurse der Zeit, fur die grossen Fragen, mit denen sich christliche Denker, Philosophen und Vertreter der paganen Bildungselite auseinandersetzen.

This masterly book is the climax of over twenty-five years of study of the impact of Canaanite religion and mythology on ancient Israel and the Old Testament. It is John Day's magnum opus in which he sets forth all his main arguments and conclusions on the subject. The work considers in detail the relationship between Yahweh and the various gods and goddesses of Canaan, including the leading gods El and Baal, the great goddesses (Asherah, Astarte and Anat), astral deities (Sun, Moon and Lucifer), and underworld deities (Mot, Resheph, Molech and the Rephaim). Day assesses both what Yahwism assimilated from these deities and what it came to reject. More generally he discusses the impact of Canaanite polytheism on ancient Israel and how monotheism was eventually achieved.

Mahatma Gandhi once chided a Christian friend, "All you Christians, missionaries and all, must begin to live more like Jesus Christ." And what Christian among us would disagree with him? After the holy wars and witch-hunts, after persecutions and political machinations, there is a broad sense today that the Church, however well-meaning, is on the wrong side of history. But do we really know our history? In this collaboration with historian Arnold Angenendt, best-selling German author Manfred Lütz dares to show us what contemporary historians actually say about Christianity's track record over the ages. This detailed overview begins with the ancient pagans, passing through Israel, the early Church martyrs, Constantine's Rome, the reign of Charlemagne, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Reformation, the Borgia popes, the Galileo affair, the conquistadores, the French Revolution, the slave trade, the Holocaust, the sex abuse crisis, and more. The Scandal of the Scandals separates myth from fact, giving us a candid portrait of Christendom with its scars and all. Prepare to be amazed at how little you really knew about Christianity.

"One might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion." With these words Richard Wagner began "Religion and Art" (1880), one of his most passionate essays. That passion made Wagner himself a central icon in the growing cult of art. Wagner felt that he lived in an age of spiritual crisis. "It can but rouse our apprehension, to see the progress of the art-of-war departing from the springs of moral force, and turning more and more to the mechanical," he wrote. In response to the frightening progress of dynamite and steel, Wagner adopted the role of the Tone Poet Seer, who reveals the inexpressible in concert halls and cleanses souls in waves of symhonic revelation. "Religion and Art" is the pivot of the works collected here. Also included are his defining essays "Public and Popularity" and "The Public in Time and Space"; his papers relating to the creation of the Bayreuth School; his complaint against publishers, "On Poetry and Composition" (1879); his article on the first production of Parsifal (1882); and other works that speak his mind about strengthening the spirit through music. These works participated in the duel between Wagner and Nietzsche that ensued after the breakup of their friendship in 1878. Nietzsche publicly called Wagner an incurable romantic, emphasizing how sick he thought both Wagner and his art were. Here Wagner counterattacks with arch innuendo and sarcasm. This edition includes the complete volume 6 of the 1897 translation of Wagner's works commissioned by the London Wagner Society. William Ashton Ellis is one of the most important translators of nineteenth-century musicology. In addition to his monumental translation of Wagner's prose works, he translated Wagner's correspondence with Franz Lizst, Mathilde Wesendonck, and Wagner's own family. Ellis died in 1919.

At any time, basic assumptions about language have a direct effect on the writing of history. The structure of language is related to the structure of knowledge and thus to the definition of historical reality, while linguistic competence gives insights into the relation of ideas and action. Within the framework of these ideas, and drawing on recent work in linguistic theory, including that of the French structuralists. Professor Struever studies the major shift in attitudes toward language and history which the Renaissance represents. One of the essential innovations of Renaissance Humanism is the substitution of rhetoric for dialectic as the dominant language discipline; rhetoric gives the Humanists their cohesion as a lay intellectual elite, as well as the force and direction of their thought. The author accepts the current trend in classical studies, the rehabilitation of the Sophists which finds its source in Nietzsche and includes the work of Rostagni, Untersteiner, and Buccellato, to reinstate rhetoric as the historical vehicle of Sophistic insight. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

A Christian Theology in Modern Times: Contextual Fundamental Theology The handbook of fundamental theology is the result of 20 years of teaching and research and appeared already in seven different languages; a Chinese edition is on the way. .Hans Waldenfels taught from 1977 - 1997 on the chair in Bonn where the former Pope Benedict XVI. - Joseph Ratzinger began his scholarly career. He came to Bonn with the experience of almost ten years life in Japan where he encountered a totally different language and culture. There and in other parts of Asia inculturation became a life experience for him. Following the three classical topics of fundamental theology - God, Jesus Christ, the Church - Waldenfels asks how they fit into the different contexts of ethnic, cultural, religious and ideological contexts of life and finally reflects the process of Christian theology. The handbook shows that modern Christian theology needs a profound knowledge and analysis of the pluriformity of human and social life and at the same time an equally deep involvement in the mystery of the divine as it appears in the life and death of Jesus Christ. It calls for a strong connection of historical awareness and an insatiable desire of the infinite Beyond. Die Kontextuelle Fundamentaltheologie unternimmt eine theologische Grundlegung des christlichen Glaubens im heutigen Welt-Kontext einer Annäherung der christlichen Kirchen, eines intensivierten christlich-jüdischen Gesprächs, der Begegung der Religionen, aber auch der Abkehr von Religionen, des Atheismus und humanistischer Ideologien. Das Buch ist aus der konkreten Vermittlung des Faches an Hörer verschiedenen Studiengänge für Lehramtskandidaten und Diplomanden entstanden. Es versteht sich als Arbeits- und Begleitbuch beim theologischen Studium, aber auch für die theologische Fort- und Erwachsenenbildung.

An up-to-date discussion of early Christian paraenesis in its Graeco-Roman and Hellenistic Jewish contexts in the light of one hundred years of scholarship, issuing from a research project by Nordic and international scholars. The concept of paraenesis is basic to New Testament scholarship but hardly anywhere else. How is that to be explained? The concept is also, notoriously, without any agreed-upon definition and it is even contested. Can it at all be salvaged? This volume reassesses the scholarly discussion of paraenesis - both the concept and the phenomenon - since Paul Wendland and Martin Dibelius and argues for a number of ways in which it may continue to be fruitful.
