By the end of the 1960s, more and more people believed that Mount Athos would become a monumental landscape that would only be visited by tourists, as the number of monks it attracted was systematically reduced. But by the end of the 1970s this situation had reversed. The special role of a team of abbots who led this renewal, is the subject of our...

An exploration of the nature of fundamental Divine rights of Christians

Criticism of Governor Hochul's denial of Montaukett land rights as an act of racism obscures the fundamental US doctrine claiming a right of domination over Indigenous peoples. It thus plays into the hands of anti-Indigenous assimilationists. The rhetoric of racism takes a strange turn in the history of Indigenous peoples. I have no doubt that raci...

The present articl...

Recent scholarship on Pier Paolo Pasolini has put into focus many of the Italian intellectual’s lesser-known works. Among these is his screenplay for an unrealized film on the topic of the apostle Paul, San Paolo. Analyses of the film address Pasolini’s portrayal of Paul as dichotomic, as a representation of both revolutionary and conformist. In ex...

Quo Vadis, thanks to its plot structure, favours transformations – even into comic books, where the image of Christianity as an important aspect of the story is challenging to depict.

A long line of research has established that Americans who subscribe to Christian nationalism have a preference for those inside their group and animosity toward those outside their group.

In 1800 and 1801 Johann Christian Kittel from Erfurt worked (during a sojourn in Altona) on a Chorale-Book for Schleswig and Holstein.

However, the regional archives...

In this article, I employ a critical literature review to address three key points. Firstly, I argue that ongoing political and constitutional reforms in Lesotho are unlikely to establish long-term political stability, supported by historical evidence. I reinforce this argument by highlighting past political reforms that failed to achieve lasting s...

The state of research is very different for court music at the various Schleswig-Holstein princely (ducal) courts in the 18th century. As a result of contacts with Telemann, music at the Plön court has been dealt with more thoroughly, while only smaller works exist for the courts in Eutin and Kiel for the 18th century. To date, however, there is no...

The subject of Christology is indispensable in Christianity because the entire Christian message centers on the person and works of Jesus Christ.

Depression is something that affects all human beings. Untreated depression can hurt people's lives. Not only can depression make Christians question God or feel distant from Him, but it also makes living in Christian community more trying.

Among the contemporary thinkers who try to think of economics not just as having a non-empty intersection with religion but as being intrinsically religious, Giorgio Agamben occupies a singular place. Indeed, one of the main theses of his major work, Homo Sacer, is that the modern rupture between “sovereignity” and “government”—which lies at the he...

Christ’s headship and lordship are prominent themes in Paul’s letters.

Review of Karamanolis, G. (2021). The Philosophy of Early Christianity. London & New York: Routledge.

The author of the First Epistle of John predominantly addresses the ‘theological concept of righteousness’ in two pericopes: pericope 1 (1:5–2:2) concerns the ‘Righteousness of God’, and pericope 2 (2:28–3:12) explores the ‘Righteousness of God’s children’ from various perspectives. The adjective, δίκαιος, occurs twice (1:9 and 2:1) and the noun, ἀ...

Written history has recorded communities unique in their origin and structural mode of survival.

The ancient correspondence allegedly between the Toparch Abgar V of Edessa and Jesus of Nazareth is usually treated in modern scholarship as legendary, though possession of it was important for the legitimation of Armenia as the first Christian kingdom in ca. 314 A.D. (prior to Constantine’s ‘Christian’ rule of a united Roman Empire from 324, and w...

After the fall of Tenochtitlan in 1521, the first groups of friars arrived in Mexico to Christianize the native inhabitants of Mesoamerica.

In a value chain, products flow from primary producers to end users, often through intermediaries. The distribution of market power in each of the successive stages of the value chain is usually unequal and affects the financial compensation of participants. Unorganized primary producers in food or clothing chains tend to fall victim to heavy compe...

Although studies have linked Christian nationalist beliefs with greater emotional distress, little is known about the potential underlying mechanisms or subgroup variations. Informed by the strain-struggles-distress model and the concept of structural amplification, we tested whether religious/spiritual (R/S) struggles mediate and moderate the asso...

Durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX un misionero inglés promovió la creación de asambleas evangélicas en Santiago del Estero, Noroeste argentino.

This book describes various current dramas and problems of humanity such as poverty, climate change, wars, violence against women, etc., from a Christian point of view and from the spirituality of the Virgin Mary.

Drawing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s reflections on the anthropos teleios and Raimundo Panikkar’s articulation of monastic archetype, this article seeks to put forward an account of Christian simplicity and a spirituality of worldliness within the context of ever-growing acceleration, digitalisation and over-organisation.

In his recent book Protestants (2017), historian Alec Ryrie argues that while Dietrich Bonhoeffer may have been “the bravest theologian of his generation”, the impact of his prison writings and his opaque vision of a “religionless Christianity” in a world come of age was disastrous for mainstream Protestantism in the United States in the second hal...

In the last days of World War II, Dietrich Bonhoeffer struggled to understand how the church was meant to live faithful to Christ in this catastrophic setting. In a letter written for his godson’s baptism, he connects themes of religionlessness and the sacraments – in particular, baptism, confession, and the Eucharist – to explore what this faithfu...

In "Vigilance and Prayer: The Christian Response to Modern Existential Threats," we delve into the profound role of faith in confronting today's global challenges. From the looming specters of nuclear warfare to the unseen dangers of engineered viruses, this paper explores how Christian teachings and practices offer not only solace but also a strat...

The objective of the article is to briefly look into the thoughts stemming from the period in which Dietrich Bonhoeffer stood at the forefront of the illegal seminary run by the Confessing Church at Finkenwalde (from 1935 to 1937) and also to verify the hypothesis that his call for “new monasticism” was influenced by the ideas of Adolf von Harnack...

Bondade, beleza e harmonia são alguns dos traços presentes no universo, especialmente nas narrativas religiosas criacionistas. Por um amor livre e não por necessidade, Deus tomou a iniciativa de se revelar como criador. Mas, infelizmente, nos últimos dois séculos vê-se com tristeza o agravamento de uma crise ecológica, com raiz antropológica, que e...

Para Pablo, el acontecimiento pascual de Cristo supuso un momento esencial para la Historia. En la carta a los Gálatas, podemos percibir el enorme esfuerzo de construcción de un relato religioso sobre la base del diálogo de dos cosmovisiones: la judía y la helenisticorromana. En continuidad con el teocentrismo bíblico, Dios Creador es el protagonis...

A recent clash between pro-Palestinian Muslims and pro-Israeli Christians in the North Sulawesi coastal town of Bitung raised the spectre of Indonesia’s worst nightmare, inter-communal violence. In a country that prides itself on a culture of inter-communal harmony, the death of a protester set off alarm bells. “This is very worrying” said Yahya Ch...

For a number of critics, what we are witnessing in postmillennial Anglophone fiction is an attempt to do away with postmodern posturings of ironic distance and ethical non-commitment, and a renewed interest in questions of authenticity, empathy, responsibility and solidarity. According to Christian Moraru, one of the keenest chroniclers of contempo...

This paper's subject is so volatile that, in some circles, it is called blasphemy and heresy. In others, I would be worthy of ex-communication. And still, in others, I would be worthy of death and condemnation to hell. These are at least dire consequences.

Since the mid-1990s, the popular perception of the militia movement in the United States has associated it with racism and far-right expressions of Christianity. There are good reasons for this assessment, though the movement is more complex than such generalizations suggest. In this article, I describe how Oath Keepers mobilized the image of a “go...

Proclaiming the gospel (Christian witnessing) in an interfaith environment is an increasingly critical concern for Christians in today’s globalised society. This article intends to explore a missiological and ecumenical approach to address the challenge of sharing the message of Christ in multi-religious contexts. Drawing on missiological and ecume...

One of the aims of Christian schools in Indonesia is to educate and shape students to have character and conduct in line with the teachings of Christ. However, the actual situation in the field does not seem to reflect the "fruits" of Christian education. Therefore, Christian school programs need further examination, including counseling programs,...

For many decades, Christian churches have engaged in ecumenical dialogues addressing church-dividing issues and trying to overcome them. Many valuable texts have emerged from these dialogues, but they are hardly known in the churches. One reason for this is that “ecumenism” is rarely a topic in theological education. The article asks why this is so...
