If there is no religion in the world, the world would more or less become a jungle. The world will be inhuman. Religion touches all aspects of human life. Identifying God's will in our world today has become a major problem for many religions of the world. In the past, in Igbo Traditional Religion, human sacrifice as well as the killing of twins were practised. For the Igbo traditionalists then, that was the will of the deities and equally not against God's will. But following the encounter of Igbo Traditional Religion with Christianity these are no longer practised. Misinterpretation of God's will by some religions of the world has given rise to religious violence, religious extremism, fanaticism and terrorism we are experiencing today in the world. For these problems to be resolved, it is pertinent that the study of various religions be taken seriously. This study should be aiming at better understanding, co-existence, respect for one another and frequent inter-religious dialogues among the various religions of the world. When this is achieved, the believers of various religions would realize that many are worshipping one God and their desire is to communicate with Him, although they may approach Him differently.

Sasja E.M. Stopa explores the influence of honour and glory on Martin Luther's theology. Luther's works overflow with terminology of honour and glory. Analysing a broad selection hereof, Stopa argues that his doctrine of justification centers on a soteriological concern for the recreation of human glory lost in the Fall and a doxological concern for God's glory stolen by sinners. Stopa shows how this relation to God patterns Luther's understanding of social relations and discusses justification as a process of mutual recognition translating Luther's theology of glory into contemporary theology.

The strong relationship between the Bible and the sacraments of the Catholic Church is generally accepted in theology. This monograph approaches this relationship from a synchronic perspective. This fresh perspective opens up new windows providing insight into similarities found in the various rites, in and outside the Catholic Church. For example, the basic biblical pattern of the celebration of the Eucharist / Last Supper appears to be standard. It also poses critical questions regarding sacramental theology in general, especially to the problematic equation of the proper name Jesus and the title Christ.

Since the Lima Declarations of Convergence in 1982, no other document in the international ecumenical movement has dealt with Eucharistic communion at the celebration of the Lord's Supper in remembrance of the Holy Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. On the occasion of the 11th Assembly of the World Council of Churches in 2022 in Karlsruhe, ecumenically minded Protestant, Free Church, Old Catholic, Roman Catholic and Orthodox theologians from Germany have taken up this topic afresh. They provide insights into the current state of ecumenical conversations, present the various traditions of confessional worship and offer practical suggestions for an ecumenically sensitive liturgical practice. The German Ecumenical Study Committee (DÖSTA) contributes a joint statement on the subject. Memories of the 3rd Ecumenical Kirchentag (Church Congress) 2021 in Frankfurt am Main are revived. The decision to go to the Lord's Table together, trusting in the presence of Jesus Christ in the celebration of Holy Communion, Eucharist and Holy Sacrifice, can be justified theologically, but continues to raise controversy. On the Sunday of the Assembly in Karlsruhe, September 4, 2022, a rich range of liturgies will commemorate the life of Jesus, his death for us, and the sending of God's Spirit. Together, all churches testify that ``The love of Christ moves, reconciles and unites the world.''

Ohne Religion wäre die Welt ein unmenschlicher Dschungel. Religion berührt alle Bereiche des menschlichen Lebens. Eines der Hauptanliegen vieler Religionen ist es, Gottes Wille in der heutigen Welt zu erkennen. In der Vergangenheit wurden in der traditionellen Igbo-Religion sowohl Menschenopfer als auch das Töten von Zwillingen praktiziert. Für die Anhänger der traditionellen Igbo-Religion entsprach dies dem Willen der Gottheiten und war damit zugleich nicht gegen den Willen Gottes. Seit der Begegnung der traditionellen Igbo-Religion mit dem Christentum werden diese Bräuche nicht länger praktiziert. Die falsche Auslegung von Gottes Wille hat zu einem Anstieg religiös motivierter Gewalt, religiösem Extremismus, Fanatismus und Terrorismus in der heutigen Welt geführt. Damit diese Probleme gelöst werden können, muss dem Studium verschiedener Religionen große Bedeutung beigemessen werden. Die vorliegende Untersuchung zielt auf ein verbessertes Verständnis, Koexistenz und Respekt füreinander sowie häufige interreligiöse Dialoge zwischen den unterschiedlichen Religionen der Welt. Hierdurch würden die Gläubigen der verschiedenen Religionen feststellen, dass viele von ihnen den einen Gott anbeten und dass sie mit ihm kommunizieren möchten, wenn sie sich ihm auch auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise nähern.

Although Africa is today often seen, because of its large number of Christians, as the future hope of the Church, a closer examination of African Christianity, however, shows that the Christian faith has not taken deep root in Africa. Many Africans today declare themselves to be Christians but still remain followers of their traditional African religions, especially in matters concerning the inner dimensions of their lives. It is evident that, in strictly personal matters relating to such issues as passage rites and crises, most Africans turn to their African traditional religions. As an incarnational faith, part of the history of Christianity has been its encounter with other cultures and its becoming deeply rooted in some of these cultures. The central question remains: Why has the Christian faith not taken deep root in Africa? This volume is concerned with answering this question.

This volume honours one of the great scholars of our era, Professor Jacob Olupona. Although he has conducted significant portions of his career outside of Nigeria, he has not separated himself from his colleagues or from interests in religions in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa. His publications and presentations offer the international scholarly community important critical insights into a range of religious activities, life ways and ideas originating in Africans and the African Diaspora. In spite of the diversity in the thoughts and opinions expressed, and equally of the range of disciplines and topics contained in the book, one can say that the contributors have developed a shared concern about the role of African Indigenous Religious Traditions in the processes of development and the context within which it (development) had or is taking place. The book guides us to a deep understanding and appreciation of how Africans in their varied situations grapple with existential problems through philosophical ruminations, complex ritual processes, cultivated memory and organized coping strategies.

In biblischen Erzählungen und christlicher Tradition scheint ausgemacht, dass Gott die Welt aktiv regiert. Gleichzeitig fällt es vielen Menschen schwer, ihre Autonomieerfahrung und die Vorstellung von Gottes Eingreifen in den Weltverlauf zu vereinbaren. Wie kann diese Spannung überbrückt werden? Karl Barths "Kirchliche Dogmatik" antwortet auf diese Frage. Die vorliegende Untersuchung erschließt diese Antwort in ihren situativen Kontexten und zeigt ihr Potenzial auf, um ausgehend von Barths Entwurf Impulse zu geben, wie Gottes Regieren in unserer Zeit verstanden werden kann.

Jede Weltsicht basiert auf Grundannahmen. Lässt sich religiöser Glaube aber rational verantworten? In der analytischen Philosophie ist sogar die Möglichkeit bestritten worden, überhaupt sinnvoll über Transzendentes zu sprechen. Doch wie sähe eine Sprache aus, die "rein faktenbasiert" spricht? Bereits sehr grundlegende linguistische Analyse zeigt, dass jede Sprache metaphorisch ist. Aus dieser Erkenntnis ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, Bildhaftigkeit als elementare Eigenschaft menschlicher Bezugnahme auf die Welt zu beschreiben. Auch religiöse Sprache ist metaphorisch - daraus folgt jedoch keineswegs, dass sie nicht wahr sein kann. Jenseits von Relativismus und Fundamentalismus versteht sich "Metaphorische Theologie" als eine Theorie religiöser Sprache, die deren Wahrheitsfähigkeit verteidigt und dabei möglichst wenig auf metaphysische Vorannahmen angewiesen ist.

For not integrating initially some of the good elements in Igbo culture, many Igbo Christians have double personality - Christian personality and traditional personality. They are Christians on Sundays but traditionalists on weekdays. To combat such an anomalous situation, in imitation of Christ's effort at completing what was lacking in the Jewish religion, author Edwin Udoye proposes radical inculturation. His book equally contains many serious theological reflections such that it recommends itself to both theologians and the scholars researching on the religions of the world. Udoye has therefore made a very significant contribution worthy of commendation to both theological and religious studies.
