The Debate on Imputation in the English Antinomian Controversy (1690–1700) in Its International and Interconfessional Context
Series:
Studies in Reformed Theology
Author:
According to the apostle Paul, Christ was made sin. What does this mean: can sin be transferred? Was Christ punished? At the end of the 17th century, in the so-called Third Antinomian Controversy English and Dutch Reformed theologians discussed the concept of imputation in its interrelationship with forgiveness, punishment, and justice. This study helps you to understand their complex and fascinating theological and philosophical reflections. Because the same themes had already extensively been discussed during the century before against Socinianism, the antinomian controversy is placed in an interconfessional and international context, highlighting the significance of Socinians and Hugo Grotius.

Zur Hermeneutik von Narrativität und Bild bei Philipp Melanchthon
Author:
Die individuelle Aneignung von theologischen und dogmatischen Gehalten basiert auf einer komplexen hermeneutischen Dynamik, die die vorliegende Arbeit als Figurationen untersucht. Unter Figurationen werden dabei sowohl narrativ-bildhafte Elemente auf der Ebene der Textgestaltung als auch hermeneutische Rezeptionsvorgänge verstanden, in denen sich Rezipierende selbst im Text oder Bild wiederfinden und sich auf diese Weise die individuelle Bedeutsamkeit des Gehaltes erschließen. Am Beispiel der Medea und im Anschluss an Philipp Melanchthons rhetorische, philosophische und theologische Werke zeigt dieses Buch aus systematisch-theologischer Perspektive den Zusammenhang der Figurationen in Aneignungsprozessen im Modus der Mediopassivität auf und trägt damit zu einem besseren Verständnis der Bedeutung und Gestaltung lebensnaher Dogmatik bei.

Allgemeine und disziplinäre Perspektiven
Menschen streben von Natur aus nach Verstehen – Hermeneutik ist die Lehre vom Verstehen. So leicht, könnte man meinen, lasse sich die Frage nach der bleibenden Relevanz und Stellung der Hermeneutik im Kanon der Wissenschaften beantworten. Doch heute kommt kaum eine Publikation, die das Stichwort „Hermeneutik“ im Titel trägt, ohne die Frage aus, wie es mit der Hermeneutik weitergeht. Ihr scheint nicht mehr dieselbe Schlüsselrolle zuzukommen wie in vergangenen Zeiten. Deshalb sind die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes, die eine Tagung aus Anlass des 60. Geburtstags des Zürcher Instituts für Hermeneutik und Religionsphilosophie dokumentieren, der Frage „wie weiter?“ gewidmet. Sie unternehmen in allgemeinen und disziplinären Perspektiven eine aktuelle Klärung von Konstitution und Ausrichtung der Hermeneutik als Kunstlehre und Theorie des Verstehens.

Mutual Engagements in Southeast Asia and Japan
Author:
Buddhist-Muslim relations are usually seen as inherently confrontational. This book challenges the view of Buddhism and Islam as fundamentally irreconcilable by exploring the diverse ways representatives of the two traditions have engaged each other in Southeast Asia—the global frontstage of contemporary Buddhist-Muslim relations—and Japan—a Buddhist-majority country whose ‘Islam policy’ played a significant role in its surge to global power status. It investigates the processes through which mutual perceptions and discourses have developed in response to shifting socio-political circumstances and via the intellectual interventions of leading personalities.

Critical junctures in the historical development of science owe their origins to ideas, concepts, and theories that became definitive in the minds of leading scientists who lived in a more or less religious culture. Scientists are never solitary, but always internal to a network of scientific relationships and friendships. They have a well-attested genius, nurtured not only by their scientific training but also by ideas and stimuli received from the cultural and social contexts in which they lived. In particular, metaphysical and theological aspirations guided the genesis of many scientific ideas. This book offers twelve examples of the development of scientific ideas that were shaped by religious factors and which changed the course of science itself. The interwoven nature of science, philosophy, theology, and culture is pervasive in these cases, thus demonstrating that throughout the modern era, natural philosophy enjoyed a deep coherence with theology. That entanglement lingers in the minds of scientists into the contemporary period, and it continues to nourish scientific creativity in subtle and profound ways. New explanations of the world have emerged through illuminative, revolutionary and, one might say, divined ways.

Ontologie des Bösen und des Leidens in der Philosophie Luigi Pareysons
Author:
Luigi Pareyson stellt sich gegen philosophische Lösungsansätze, welche die Realität des Bösen implizit oder explizit negieren. Um die Problematik in ihrer tragischen Tiefe und ontologischen Dimension neu entfalten zu können, braucht die Philosophie eine neue Art des Denkens. In Anlehnung an die positive Philosophie Schellings findet Pareyson den gesuchten neuen Zugang zum Problem: einerseits in der Ausarbeitung einer Ontologie der Freiheit und andererseits in einer Hermeneutik des Mythos sowie der religiösen Erfahrung. Seine hermeneutische Sensibilität bringt Pareyson dazu, auch den modernen Roman als Ausdrucksweise einer neuen Form des Mythos zu interpretieren. Hier zeigt sich auch die große Aktualität seines Denkens, da der von ihm geöffnete Zugang zum Mythos einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten kann, das postmoderne Erfordernis eines neuen Mythos in den Blick zu rücken.

Globalisation, Migration, and Hybridity
This book explores how East Asian religions affect EU countries, both through Asian diaspora communities and through European converts and sympathisers. East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam) and the EU are two of the planet's most dynamic regions economically, politically, and culturally. East Asian diasporas have a long history in Europe and represent a growing part of the EU's population. Meanwhile, Europeans have long been attracted to and interested in East Asian religion and are increasingly converting or incorporating elements of East Asian religiosities into their own identities.
For the first time ever, this book presents the state of the art of research in this area, with chapters on most of the EU's 27 countries and on themes such as migration, Orientalism, gender and sexuality. It covers, among others, East Asian Buddhism and Christianity, Daoism and new religious movements, as well as martial arts and other looser forms of spirituality.

Volume III: January 1708 - February 1709
Author:
The Acta Pekinensia is a Latin manuscript found in the Jesuit Roman Archives. It is a record of the papal legation to China of Charles Thomas Maillard de Tournon, from his arrival in China to his death in Macau.It was compiled by Kilian Stumpf, a German Jesuit missionary/scientist serving at the court of the Kangxi emperor of China. Stumpf was in a privileged position to record day by day the events of this crucial episode not only in the history of Christianity in China but in Chinese-Western relations.
This annotated translation provides a full documentation and an acute and lively commentary on the clash of values which resulted in the failure of the legation and the condemnation of Chinese Rites.
