Das deutsche Martyrologium des 20. Jahrhunderts. 8., aktualisierte und durchgesehene Auflage
Editor:
Das deutsche Martyrologium sammelt die Biografien katholischer Christen im 20. Jahrhundert, die um ihres Glaubens willen einen gewaltsamen Tod erlitten. Es handelt sich um widerständige Personen aus den Verfolgungen des Nationalsozialismus, des Kommunismus und der Missionsgebiete. Die größte Gruppe bilden die Männer und Frauen aus der Gegnerschaft zur NS-Ideologie. Die Personen stammten aus allen Regionen des Deutschen Reiches, waren Priester und Laien, Junge und Alte aus verschiedensten Berufen und Aufgaben. Mehr als 170 Fachleute aus dem In- und Ausland haben die etwa 1000 Lebensbilder gesammelt und mit einem Werk-, Quellen- und Literaturverzeichnis und, soweit möglich, einem Porträtfoto, versehen. Das zweibändige Werk bietet ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Wissenschaft, Kirche und die interessierte Öffentlichkeit.

Flugschriften von Autorinnen der Reformation in heutigem Deutsch
An der Reformation waren auch Frauen beteiligt! Mit engagierten und provozierenden Publikationen traten sie an die Seite Luthers und Melanchthons.
Die Frauen der Reformation erfreuen sich seit vielen Jahren großen Interesses, allen voran die Autorinnen reformatorischer Flugschriften wie Argula von Grumbach und Katharina Zell, um nur die beiden bekanntesten zu nennen. Ihre Publikationen stehen gleichwohl bislang nur in den sehr schwer zugänglichen Originaltexten zur Verfügung, die nur für Spezialisten geeignet sind. Erstmals bietet dieses Buch eine Auswahl der wichtigsten und interessantesten Texte ungekürzt in heutigem Deutsch. Was es von Luther und Melanchthon, von Zwingli und Calvin schon lange gibt, gibt es nun also auch für die Reformationsfrauen: ihre religiösen, theologischen, gesellschaftlichen und politischen Gedanken und Ideen in einer für jede:n lesbaren und für jede:n verständlichen sprachlichen Form.

This volume contains twenty-three texts, most of which were written between the end of the 2nd/8th century and the end of the 3rd/9th century. The majority of them reflect the early stages of the development of the First Ibadi Imamate in 132/750 – established when the Omanis fully seceded from the central state in Baghdad until the Imamate was collapsed by the Abbasids in 280/893. The source value of these Ibadi texts for researchers and scholars specialised in Islamic studies far outweighs any importance they might attach to sectarian history per se.

The rise of Pentecostalism is one of the most important changes in Christianity in the past century. Growing rapidly, it has expanded throughout the world.
How many Pentecostals are there in the world? How did Pentecostalism grow so fast? What do Pentecostals believe? What role did revivals play like the Azusa Street Revival in the USA or the Mukti Mission Revival in India? What do Pentecostals experience when they speak in tongues, pray for healing, and seek prosperity?
Brill's Encyclopedia of Global Pentecostalism answers such questions, drawing upon disciplines such as anthropology, biblical studies, economics, gender studies, history, theology, and other areas of related interest.

Editor:
Al-Fazārī’s writings are a unique source of information about Ibadi teachings on ʿilm al-kalām and the early development of this branch of religious knowledge. It is for this reason that scholars of Islamic theology are particularly interested in early Ibadi theology. In this volume newly discovered, re-edited texts by al-Fazārī are presented, with previously lacking fragments included, texts that had already begun to offer new perspectives on Islamic ʿilm al-kalām, and on its origins and the sources of its concepts and debating techniques. In their revised state these Ibadi texts represent a major contribution to scholastic theology. They demonstrate how their respective theological debates already took place at the beginning of the second/eighth century and how associated ideas, as well as related sects and treatises, remained current for some time afterwards, thereby contradicting earlier claims that these debates started in the third/ninth century.

Wider einen Gegner des Gesetzes und der Propheten. Zweisprachige Ausgabe. Eingeleitet, übersetzt und herausgegeben von Hermann-Josef Sieben
Editor / Translator:
Dieses Werk Augustins erscheint hier erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung. Sein Hauptziel ist der Nachweis, dass der Gott des Alten Testamentes derselbe ist wie der Gott des Neuen Testamentes.
Diese kleinere Arbeit Augustins ist in letzter Zeit zu Unrecht in den Hintergrund getreten. Sie wird hier neu präsentiert und erschlossen. Auf klare und prägnante Weise behandelt sie zentrale Themen christlicher Theologie: die Erschaffung der Welt und des Menschen, den Sündenfall und die Frage nach dem Ursprung des Bösen (Theodizee). Neben diesen klassischen Themen bietet sie aber auch Erörterungen etwa über den Zusammenhang zwischen dem jüdischen und dem christlichen Opferkult. Insgesamt eröffnet dieses Werk einen Einblick in die ausgereifte Theologie des späteren Augustinus.

Latin-German Pharmaceutical Glossaries in Hebrew Characters extant in Ms Leiden Universiteitsbibliotheek, Cod. Or. 4732/1 (SCAL 15), fols. 1a–17b
With A Glimpse into Medical Practice among Jews around 1500: Latin-German Pharmaceutical Glossaries in Hebrew Characters extant in Ms Leiden, Universiteitsbibliotheek, Cod. Or. 4732/1 (SCAL 15), fols. 1a–17b, Gerrit Bos and Klaus-Dietrich Fischer present an edition of two unique medieval lists of medico-botanical terms in Latin and German, written in Hebrew characters. Jewish physicians probably used these kinds of lists for the acquisition of pharmaceuticals they needed for the preparation of medicines. The edition with a total of 568 entries features transcriptions from the Hebrew, tables and indexes of the analysed terms in a regularized form, and a facsimile of the Leiden manuscript.
Many of the German plant names featuing in the edition are not listed in the otherwise monumental reference work Wörterbuch der deutschen Pflanzennamen (Dictionary of German Plant Names) by the German botanist Heinrich Marzell. This testifies to the value of these glossaries for further research. It is also useful to see which Latin forms were in current use at the time of creation of the edition.

Latin Text and English Translation: Volume 3, Disputations 43 - 52
This bilingual edition of the Synopsis Purioris Theologiae (1625) provides English readers access to an influential textbook of Reformed Orthodoxy. Composed by four professors at the University of Leiden (Johannes Polyander, Andreas Rivetus, Antonius Walaeus, and Anthonius Thysius), it offers a presentation of Reformed theology as it was conceived in the first decades of the seventeenth century. From a decidedly Reformed perspective, the Christian doctrine is defined in contrast with alternative or diverging views, such as those of Roman Catholics, Arminians, and Socinians. The Synopsis responds to challenges coming from the immediate theological, social, and philosophical contexts. The disputations in this the third volume cover such topics as the sacraments, church discipline, the role of civil authorities, and eschatology. This volume also presents a thorough historical and theological introduction to the whole of the Synopsis.

A Parallel English-Arabic Text. Volume 1
Author:
Translator:
Winner of the 2021 Sheikh Hamad Award for Translation and International Understanding (category: translation from Arabic into English)
This is an unabridged, annotated, translation of the great Damascene savant and saint Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya’s (d. 751/1350) Madārij al-Sālikīn. Conceived as a critical commentary on an earlier Sufi classic by the great Hanbalite scholar Abū Ismāʿīl of Herat, Madārij aims to rejuvenate Sufism’s Qurʾanic foundations. The original work was a key text for the Sufi initiates, composed in terse, rhyming prose as a master’s instruction to the aspiring seeker on the path to God, in a journey of a hundred stations whose ultimate purpose was to be lost to one’s self (fanāʾ) and subsist (baqāʾ) in God. The translator, Ovamir (ʿUwaymir) Anjum, provides an extensive introduction and annotation to this English-Arabic face-to-face presentation of this masterpiece of Islamic psychology.
