Hans Küng, new horizons for faith and thought
- 402pagine
- 15 ore di lettura
To mark the occasion of Hans Kung's sixty-fifth birthday, this volume was prepared by various writers, thinkers, and religious leaders to celebrate Kung's life and his theology. The contributors themselves illustrate the extent of Kung's influence, as they come not only from Switzerland and Germany, but from Britain and Ireland, the United States, Latin America, Saudi Arabia, and Russia; and represent not only Christianity, but Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. Together, these contributors reflect on the many circles of thought that have made up Kung's remarkable intellectual career: ecclesiology, christology, theology, and ecumenicism, first within Christianity and then to the entire world in the form of a global ethic. In spite of Kung's continued expansion into wider horizons of faith and thought, his basic theological insights have remained remarkably constant throughout his long career. He has been less influenced by fashion than many other theologians, demonstrating a constancy of conviction and coherence of theological method. Kung has, however, set the fashion for others, as he has brought and continues to bring attention to highly topical and critical issues of the current day. This volume is a fascinating critical survey of a remarkable theologian's life and thought. It provides a real understanding of Kung's theology, its strengths and weaknesses, its limitations and its riches. Finally, it aims toward rehabilitating Hans Kung as a Catholic theologian. As Heinrich Fries, one of the great figures of Roman Catholic ecumenical theology recently asked: "Is the Catholic church so narrow that it cannot tolerate a man like Kung? Or is it so rich that it can dispense with him?"

Concilium 2001/4 in Search of Universal Values
- 160pagine
- 6 ore di lettura
Exploring the concept of a global ethic, this collection features diverse perspectives from prominent thinkers and leaders. Key topics include the need for a common ethical framework in a globalized world, the impact of pluralism on ethics, and the role of compassion in Christianity. Contributions address the intersection of business practices and global ethics, the challenges posed by globalization, and the implications for education and moral theology. Each essay emphasizes the urgency of cultivating universal values in an increasingly interconnected society.
Laughter, often absent in the solemnity of theology, serves as a vital expression of joy and delight. This book explores the role of humor within the context of Roman Catholicism, particularly during its current 'wintry season.' It emphasizes the importance of embracing joy in theological discourse, suggesting that the lack of such laughter reflects deeper issues within the church. Through a blend of humor and serious reflection, the author invites readers to reconnect with the joyful aspects of faith.

Lidská životní zkušenost je od nepaměti poznamenána zlem v jeho nejrůznějších podobách. Jak spojit tuto skutečnost s křesťanskou vírou v dobrého a všemohoucího Boha? To je i výchozí otázka, kterou si v této knize položili znalec Starého zákona s literárním vědcem a systematickým teologem K.-J. Kuschlem z teologické fakulty univerzity v Tübingen. Kniha má čtyři části: dvě se obracejí k tradici – jednak k tradici biblické, jednak k tradici teologických odpovědí na otázku zla (Augustin, Tomáš Akvinský, Kalvín a Leibniz). V třetí části je představena tvorba moderních spisovatelů, kteří se pokusili konfrontovat tradiční představu Boha se zkušeností nezaviněného a nespravedlivého utrpení (R. Schneider, E. Wiesel, W. Hildesheimer, N. Sachsová, H. Lange). Závěrečná část je věnována interpretacím moderních teologů (H. Jonas, J. Moltmann, G. Greshake).
Theodor Heuss, die Schoah, das Judentum, Israel
- 440pagine
- 16 ore di lettura
Über Theodor Heuss (1884 – 1963), den ersten Bundespräsidenten, den Politiker, den Publizisten, ist fast alles schon gesagt. Doch ein Aspekt, eine Dimension seines Lebens und Wirkens ist bislang beinahe unbeachtet geblieben: sein einzigartig freundschaftliches Verhältnis zu vielen jüdischen Zeitgenossen, zum Judentum überhaupt – und insbesondere sein Engagement um eine wahrhaftige Erinnerungskultur, für eine »Wiedergutmachung« der Verbrechen am jüdischen Volk und die Aussöhnung mit Israel. Heuss ist der Mann, der früh nach dem Krieg das Wort von einer »Kollektivscham« der Deutschen zu prägen wagte und damit vehement gegen die Rede von einer »Kollektivschuld« stritt wie auch gegen diejenigen, die schon einen »Schlussstrich« unter die Vergangenheit ziehen wollten. Beiden Parteien wollte er es »bequem« nicht machen. Im Gegenteil: Heuss forderte für die Deutschen (und durchaus selbstkritisch auch für sich) einen »schweren Weg der Selbstreinigung«, weil ihm das wahrhaftige Eingedenken der Vergangenheit die Grundvoraussetzung für die Gewinnung einer glaubwürdigen demokratischen Zukunft war.
