JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Enzyklopädische Probleme der Praktischen
Book SynopsisZur Debatte um enzyklopädische Probleme der Praktischen Theologie steuert Christian Albrecht fünf Studien bei. In ihnen thematisiert er die Aufgabe, die Methode, die Einheit, die Heuristik und die Adressaten der Praktischen Theologie. Dabei erinnern die Studien an einige in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Praktischen Theologie artikulierte Erwägungen, von denen auch in den gegenwärtigen enzyklopädischen Debatten orientierende Leistungen ausgehen können. Die klassischen Überlegungen halten nicht unmittelbare Antworten auf gegenwärtige Fragen bereit, aber sie lassen Gesichtspunkte erkennen, unter denen sich ein vertieftes Verständnis aktueller Problemstellungen gewinnen läßt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) 200 Jahre Praktische Theologie: Fallstudien zur
Book SynopsisDass die Praktische Theologie zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts begründet wurde, entspricht einer weithin geteilten Wahrnehmung. Die Herausgeber dieses Bandes nehmen das 200. Jubiläum anlässlich der Einrichtung der ersten ordentlichen Professur und der Gründung der Predigeranstalt zwischen 1813 und 1815 zum Anlass, der Gründungsgeschichte und den weiteren Entwicklungen der Praktischen Theologie in Tübingen nachzugehen. In Fallstudien, die auch über den lokalen Bezug einer einzelnen Fakultät hinaus von Interesse sein können, fragen die Autoren danach, in welchem Sinne tatsächlich von einer Begründung der Praktischen Theologie im frühen 19. Jahrhundert gesprochen werden kann und wie sich die Geschichte des Faches in den letzten beiden Jahrhunderten rekonstruieren lässt, wenn sie nicht nur von wenigen prominenten Veröffentlichungen her, sondern in ihrer Realgestalt an einer einzelnen Fakultät geschrieben wird.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Institutionalized Routine Prayers at Qumran: Fact
Book SynopsisThis book challenges scholars' assumption, without any explicit evidence, of institutionalized public prayer with fixed contents and times in the Qumran community. As the book observes, this assumption rests in part on a failure to distinguish between voluntary supplication prayers and biblically mandated blessings and thanks. The book closely examines the three Qumran writings assumed to typify prayer and critiques scholars' attempts to deduce the existence of public prayer from these and other sources, which are most likely pious expressions of individual authors. The lack of indispensable instructions for institutionalized prayer offers circumstantial evidence that such prayer was not practiced at Qumran. This study also explores the assumption that Qumran prayer was intended as a substitute for sacrifices after the group's separation from the temple cult and discusses relevant rabbinic statements. The innovative character of rabbinic fixed prayer is discussed and identified as an element of the fundamental transformation of Jewish theology and practice from worship founded on sacrificial rituals performed by priests at the Jerusalem Temple to abstract, unmediated, direct approaches to God by every Jew in any location. The book also examines Samaritan prayer and detects a variety of attitudes, rules, and customs similar to those found at Qumran that are incompatible with their rabbinic counterparts. This opens the door for investigating religious belief and practice at a crucial period in the history of Western civilization, namely, before the vast rabbinic reform of Judaism after 70 CE.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Mehr Gott wagen: Predigten und Reden zur
Book SynopsisEinander ins Bild setzen. Darum gehe es beim Predigen, sagte 2002 Martin Nicol, Praktischer Theologe in Erlangen, und begründete mit diesem Leitbild die Dramaturgische Homiletik. Mehr Gott wagen. Das sei die Herausforderung angesichts religiöser Indifferenz, sagt Nicol nun, nach vielen Jahren pastoraler Fortbildung im Predigen, und öffnet seine eigene Predigtwerkstatt zur Besichtigung. Zehn Predigten werden präsentiert, kommentiert, jeweils einem aktuellen Thema der Homiletik zugeordnet und dieses Thema in der offenen Form von Reden entfaltet. Dabei gibt Nicol eine Fülle handwerklicher Anregungen für die laufende Predigtarbeit. Zugleich zeichnet er an den Konturen künftiger Predigt, die sich als Kunst unter Künsten von Gustav Mahler ebenso inspirieren lässt wie von Udo Jürgens, die dem leidigen Kanzelpathos mit Humor begegnet, die mit Lust an Sprache ins Ungesagte springt, die dem Bibelwort traut, Verheißungen der Tradition in die Zukunft wirft und in alledem auf spezifische Resonanz hofft: Aufmerksamkeit bei den Menschen und Gehör bei Gott.

Godlipress Andrew Murray With Christ In The School Of
Book SynopsisLORD, TEACH US TO PRAY! LUKE 11:1Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.What do you think, my beloved fellow disciples? Would it not be just what we needed, to ask the Master to give us a month-long course of special lessons on the art of prayer? As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress. Let us take time not only to meditate but to pray. To busy ourselves at the foot of the throne, and be trained in the work of intercession. -Andrew MurrayWith Christ in the School of Prayer offers a structured series of 31 short, concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the listener''s heart with a hunger for God''s presence. While holding firmly to Andrew Murray''s classic teaching and theology and retaining the elegance of his writing style, this edition has been updated to make Murray''s writing more accessible to modern readers.It includes the following updates: A Study Guide to Ensure a Deeper Study of Andrew Murray''s Original Message. Unabridged and Carefully Updated Text in Modern English. Updated Organization and Headings. An Active Table of Contents. Large Print Text. Our earnest prayer is that you find this updated edition much easier to understand and that God would bless you with more desire to seek His face in His school of prayer.

Peeters Publishers Per Visibilia Ad Invisibilia: Anthropological,
Book SynopsisThe author of this book, Gerard Lukken, has always believed that liturgy is not something which is unchangeable or sacrosanct, something to be imposed 'from above'; rather he believes that it must gain shape and content from the situation in which believers find themselves. This involvement is reflected in the hundreds of publications which have flowed from his pen. Lukken's extensive writings offer not only an exciting reflection on the challenges (such as secularization and the decrease in church-going) confronting church and believers, but also on the problems they have faced in celebrating their faith in recent decades. Moreover, his work represents a model for methodological renewal. The key concepts in his theological approach and his evaluation are 'anthropology' and 'semiotics'. These two aspects have left their marks on the organisation of this book which is a selective compilation drawn from his earlier publications. This collection consists of nineteen studies which have lost nothing of their topicality and most of which are now being translated into English, French or German for the first time. By crossing the frontier of language in such a way the editors wish not only to honour a leading specialist in liturgy but also to contribute to academic research into liturgy throughout the world. Gerard Lukken (1933) studied at the Diocesan Seminary in Haaren (Noord-Brabant), the Pontificia Universita in Rome, and the Institut Superieur de Liturgie in Paris. He was professor of liturgy and sacramental theology (from 1967) and director of the Liturgical Institute (from 1992) at the Theological Faculty of Tilburg until his retirement in 1994.

Peeters Publishers Liturgical Catechesis of Sunday Celebrations in
Book SynopsisThe number of Catholic communities with no priest available to celebrate Sunday Eucharist has increased steadily over 60 years. For many, other forms of Sunday celebration are the statistical norm. This dramatic development coincides with Vatican II's insistence on liturgical catechesis: for the baptised the main source of their Christian spirit comes from active participation in the liturgy, especially the Sunday Eucharist. Celebrating the liturgy in all its symbolic fullness leads to inner participation in the mystery. A more profound appropriation of this living relationship with Christ comes about through well-celebrated rites and reflection on personal experience of the rites. Yet, liturgical catechesis is largely ignored or dismissed because it is not understood. Liturgical celebrations frequently lack the vitality capable of leading people into the depth of the sacred mysteries they celebrate. Sunday celebrations in the absence of a priest are no exception. This book presents a systematic treatment of the modern church's teaching on liturgical catechesis. It proposes ten general principles of liturgical catechesis. These principles are used to explore and criticize the "Directory for Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest" (1988), as well as the rituals prepared from the "Directory" by the USA, and Canada. Even when there can be no Sunday Mass in parishes, hospitals and nursing homes, navy ships and jails, liturgical prayer is to be a privileged place of evangelisation, catechesis, spirituality and discipleship in Christ.

Peeters Publishers Liturgy and Muse: The Eucharistic Prayer
Book SynopsisThe integration of liturgical action into culture is an irrevocable process, based on contemporary social developments. In this process an important role is reserved for music. Music is constantly challenged to give artistic shape to liturgical texts in an adequate way. Moreover, its expressive richness is being rediscovered presently, and music itself is increasingly being experienced as a liturgical sign. Therefore it is an essential characteristic of continually self-renewing liturgical action that within it the community consciously makes more and more use of the language of the muse. The symposium A"Liturgy and the language of the musesA", lectures which are collected in this book, was devoted to the design of the most important component of the celebration of the Eucharist, the eucharistic prayer. All the lectures touch in one way or another on the consequences for our liturgical action of today's desire for a more inspired design for Liturgy, and in particular for eucharistic prayer, in language and form. An effort is made to formulate a more precise answer to the question of how the essential elements of this prayer can be expressed optimally.

Peeters Publishers Albert Deblaere, S.J. (1916-1994). Essays on
Book SynopsisAlbert Deblaere, S.J. (1916-1994) was an erudite scholar with an original intellectual and spiritual profile. After having been for a short time a member of the Ruusbroec Society (Antwerp), he taught for many years at the Jesuit Theologicum in Heverlee (Louvain) and at the Gregorian University (Rome). He has had a remarkable impact on his disciples and on the scientific research of mystical literature. This volume offers a selection of his articles, in various languages, dealing with the history of mystical literature and the methodology of the study of those texts, with the specific mystical terminology and some major spiritual writers, such as e.g. John of Ruusbroec, Gerlach Peters, Thomas a Kempis and Maria Petyt. The second part of this volume consists of contributions in memory of Albert Deblaere by a number of scholars who have been inspired by him: Joseph Alaerts, Herwig Arts, Johan Bonny, Alvaro Cacciotti, Rob Faesen, Paul van Geest, Max Huot de Longchamp, Paul Mommaers and Paul Verdeyen.

Peeters Publishers Tradition and Innovation in Late- and
Book SynopsisWhat is the relation between the Greek ecclesiastical chant traditions of today and Byzantine chant? That question can only be answered through a meticulous study of the transmission and transformation of both the melodies, the genres, and the whole musical culture of Late Byzantium and the subsequent centuries. This book presents a handful of studies focussing on both the development of new musical styles, such as the ornamented Kalofonia ('Beautiful sound'), and on the education of the cantors, the psaltai. The role of the master cantors, the maistores, their teachings, treatises, traditions, innovations, compositions, and the various modes of interpretation (exegesis) are among the topics covered by this collection of papers, written by specialist scholars of Byantine chant history.

Peeters Publishers Studies on the Liturgies of the Christian East:
Book SynopsisThis is a collection of seventeen selected papers from the Third International Congress of the Society of Oriental Liturgy, held in Volos, Greece, in 2010. The Society is a non-confessional association of scholars dealing with the liturgical traditions (and related disciplines) of the Eastern Christian Churches. These papers reflect studies on the Ethiopian, Georgian, Hagiopolite, Greek, Bulgarian, Slavonic, early Patristic, East Syriac, and West Syriac liturgies across a wide range of countries and cultures. Among other topics, the authors study the texts of liturgical services (including the critical question of translations), archaeology, liturgical music, iconography, mystagogical commentary, and liturgical theology. The papers deal with both the historical practice of the Churches and their present-day usages. The authors examine not only what has been the liturgical usage of the Eastern Churches in their countries of origin, but also how these liturgies are adapted and celebrated in the diaspora.

Peeters Publishers Mediating Mysteries, Understanding Liturgies: On
Book Synopsis“The liturgist is a general practitioner who sees a lot in his practice and for whom virtually everything is important”. The phrase from the Introduction to the book offers a useful starting point for understanding what the authors essentially want to convey. While much may be important, this volume addresses specifically the relation between liturgy and mystery. Many of the contributing authors recognise the bodied reality of mystery as crucial to the “health” of liturgical relationship. The contributors acknowledge that neither the “practitioner” as liturgist, nor the theologian alone can provide the necessary “life-giving connections” that help mediate between liturgy and mystery. Thus, the skills and knowledge from various liturgical traditions and denominations are utilised to explore: (1) the gospels and Christ event, (2) the ongoing process of tradition through verbal and non-verbal means, (3) the transparency of mystery itself, (4) the partaking in the Mystery through the links with other areas and commitments of life, and (5) the revision of the classical approach to the relationship between liturgy and systematic theology. This paired liturgical and theological investigation ultimately opens ways for understanding what liturgy itself is, and what theology maybe should be.

Peeters Publishers Robert Rypon, Selected Sermons. Volume 1: Feast
Book SynopsisThe fourteenth and fifteenth centuries are considered the golden age of preaching in medieval England. The Latin sermons edited and translated in this volume, preached by Robert Rypon (c. 1350–1421/22) and collected in a single manuscript, are both representative and exceptional instances of the preaching during this period. Rypon was an English Benedictine monk educated at Oxford and a member of Durham priory, where he served a number of important roles. He preached regularly not only to his monastic community but to lay and clerical audiences at Durham cathedral and in parishes around Durham and Northumbria. Many of his analogies, metaphors, and exempla are original or distinctive in their development, but he applies all of them to traditional homiletic concerns, such as the seven deadly sins, the acts of mercy, the theological virtues, the Ten Commandments, prayer, and penance. He also artfully employs the complex scholastic sermon form popular with preachers trained at the universities. His sermons open a window onto the world of preaching and the religious culture of late medieval England. This volume includes a selection of sermons preached on various Sundays and other feast days during the liturgical year, along with seven sermons preached on saints’ days, which include the feasts for John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, and Oswald, the seventh-century king of Northumbria. The second volume will include a selection of sermons preached during Lent.

Peeters Publishers Gregory of Tours, 'The Book of the Miracles of
Book SynopsisThe Book of the Miracles of the Blessed Andrew the Apostle (Liber de miraculis beati Andreae apostoli), long regarded as a sixth-century reworking of an earlier apocryphal work by an anonymous author, has often been ignored or used by scholars as a vehicle for recovering that now mostly lost work, The Acts of Andrew. Yet in recent years there has emerged a growing consensus that The Book of the Miracles of the Blessed Andrew the Apostle (hereafter noted as the MA) was authored by Gregory of Tours (538–594), the preeminent historical source for the sixth-century West. While Gregory and his hagiographical works have been studied with increasing vigor by scholars, the MA has only recently figured into that effort and, consequently, has not yet been fully translated into English. This volume attempts to fill this void by offering the first full English translation of the MA, alongside Max Bonnet’s Latin edition, and by setting the work in its rightful place in Gregory’s canon. With an introduction, glossary, notes, and a map of places mentioned in the text, this volume provides an accessible entry point to both the study of the legacy of the apostles as well as Gregory of Tours’s interpretation of it. The MA is valuable for the study of early Christianity, late antiquity, and religious culture in the Merovingian Kingdom of the Franks.
