Aus Ãgypten stammt eine FÃ"lle biographischer Literatur. Trotz intensiver Forschung und eines allgemein wachsenden wissenschaftlichen Interesses an antiken Biographien fehlte bisher eine Darstellung speziell der Biographien der 25. und 26. Dynastie. Das vorliegende Buch versteht sich als Ergänzung und Fortsetzung des Standardwerks "Die biographischen Inschriften der ägyptischen Spätzeit" von Eberhard Otto aus dem Jahre 1954. Das Buch stellt in chronologischer Reihenfolge die wichtigsten Biographien der 25. und 26. Dynastie in deutsch mit ägyptischer Umschrift vor, bietet zahlreiche neue Lesungen und analysiert die Phraseologie dieser Texte. Besondere Konzentration liegt auf den Verbindungen der Spätbiographien zu den GaufÃ"rsten des Mittleren Reiches, besonders zu den sog. Siut-Texten.

Subscription price until 10.03.2015: ⬠79,99!/Regular price: ⬠89,99As a supplement to the new edition of the Confessionals of the Protestant Lutheran Church (BSELK) this volume represents the first edited volume of the handwritten documents that preceded the Formula of Concord and the Preface to the Formula of Concord contained in the Book of Concord. Included are the five articles and the six sermons of Jacob Andreae, the Swabian Concord and the Swabian-Saxon Concord, the Maulbronn Formula and the Torgau Book as well as the precursors to the Preface. These documents clearly reveal the complicated origins of the Book of Concord as well as highlighting the struggles that went on to reach a consensus and the resolve necessary to achieve theological unity - the work of both the theologians and secular rulers alike.

Edwards proposed that natural types in all of creation served as a communication or language of God, pointing to the antitypes of divine truths. These types are shown to exist all the way down to the cellular and molecular levels of nature. We explore how natural types are not mere poetical assignments of Christian themes onto nature. Rather, these types are ontologically real, in that they eternally existed in the mind of God with intent to communicate divine things to the creature. Thus, we call these natural types onto-types to reflect their ontological significance theologically and spiritually. In Edwards' scheme, this was an important part of God's end in creating. Emerging out of Edwards' comprehensive metaphysics of creation is a portrayal of God's commitment to emanate knowledge of the divine Self into the creation. God's Being is not emanated, resulting in a creation, rather the knowledge and glory of God are emanated into the creation serving to communicate messages of the divine to the creature out of infinite love and faithfulness. Edwards expounded a two-fold method where revelation of this language of nature can be experienced by direct engagement with the beauty in nature and in the study of science and its mechanisms. God's action in revealing takes the form of willing the creation into being, communicating analogically through onto-types in the physical world, and revealing such knowledge to the creature. In this way, all of nature is the triune God acting: the Father willing into being, Christ communicating, and the Spirit revealing. God's Trinitarian beauty and magnificent glory are not merely displayed by what has been made, but is intimately shared and delighted in. This, in Edwards' view, is God's ultimate end in creating.

Biblical prehistory considers the origin of the world and its order, the origin of man and the origins of culture. It is an expression of the basic conviction, which was widespread in ancient cultures and based on the natural history of the time, that everything present and everything future received its essence in the beginning. In this sense, the biblical prehistory offers less an explanation of the origin of the world, but is primarily an attempt to interpret man's experience of himself and his environment. At the center of this reflection in exemplary narratives, which are accompanied by natural history, genealogical and geographical explanations, is the human being in his diverse relationships to fellow human beings, to non-human creation and to God. Jan Christian Gertz makes a new commentary with his work prehistory, whose stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel have shaped our self-image and worldview like few other literary works. The commentary offers readers inside and outside the subject a clearly understandable synthesis of previous research and places prehistory in the context of the literatures of the ancient Near East. The revision of the commentary on the biblical prehistory for the Old Testament German follows that by Gerhard von Rad from 1949, the last revision of which was published in 1972.

The Epistle to Philemon is the shortest of all extant letters written by Paul. At first sight, and especially compared to the Epistle to the Romans, the Letters to the Corinthians and Galatians, it seems rather unremarkable. Here, Paul writes to mediate in a conflict between Philemon, a Christian in whose house a congregation meets, and his slave Onesimus, who too has now become a Christian. How Paul writes this letter, however, is what makes it a valuable lesson in Christian ethics, according to Peter Mëller. Mëller shows Paul's completely new worldview, made possible through the fellowship with Jesus Christ and an influence on the fellowship of all believers. The central tenets of the letter - belief, love, fellowship - do not remain noncommittal, but rather become very concrete with respect to the relationsip of Philemon to his slave Onesimus. That Paul did not explicitly demand the freeing of Onesimus from slavery has often been rebuked in recent exegesis - something Mëller rejects. In the world of ancient slavery and the existing legal terms, freeing a slave was not necessarily the best choice. And yet Paul demands of Philemon more than what was legally necessary: a new, changed relationship between slave and master which impacts everyday life. Mëller shows that regulating the matter of a relationship among unequals was not simply a personal affair, but one that concerned the entire congregation, which is why the Epistle to Philemon is important even today.

Some 40 years after Gerhard von Rad's volume for the ATD Series, Timo Veijola presents the first volume of his two-volume complete revision of the Deuteronomy text comprising Chapters 1,1-16,17. The fifth book of Moses contains his farewell address to the Israelites and connects the Pentateuch with the books of Joshua through the 2nd Book of Kings. It plays an important role in Old Testament literature and reveals a multilayered evolutionary process that has occupied generations of researchers. Veijola traces the various levels of development, from the reform program of King Joshua during the 7th century BC through the Deuteronomic History to the later revisions of the 4th century BC, and pays tribute to their respective character. In his critical but fair interpretation of Chapters 1-16 the author also provides an overview of the most up-to-date state of research, commenting on both individual exegetic problems and the broad literary and theological horizon of the text.

These user manuals make it easier for readers to use the editio critica maior of the Septuagint - a standard work unique in its kind - in an efficient way. They serve both as an introduction for beginners who use the Göttingen editions for the first time and as a tool designed for specialists to allow them to improve their work on this text. The complexity of the apparatus to the Göttingen Septuagint has longtime made readers wish for a higher level of 'user friendliness'. Both volumes of the Benutzerhandbuch zur Göttinger Septuaginta fulfill this need. Now students, teachers and scholars in the fields of Old Testament and neighbouring disciplines are given the opportunity to work more efficiently with the editions of the Pentateuch and Ruth. The volumes provide a complete overview of the principles and apparatus employed in these editions as well as detailed information on the textual history of the Septuagint and its witnesses.

How should one conceptualize the incomprehensible, and with what should one compare the incomparable? It is fascinating how creatively and dynamically the first witnesses were able to describe their faith-giving and life-opening knowledge of Christ. Her talk about God is consistently based on the gospel of the identity and meaning of Jesus Christ. And looking at their Lord opens up to believers the salutary effects for themselves and for the world as a whole. Theology is consistently developed here as Christology; and Christology as soteriology - as the doctrine of salvation.

At the height of his effectiveness, the Dutch theologian, publicist and politician Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) gave the famous Stone Lectures in Princeton in 1898. In the six lectures on religion, politics, science, art and others, he summarizes a lot of what he had developed for more than two decades: reformulating Calvinism for the present in a historically informed manner. With enthusiasm and the pathos typical of the time, he conveys Calvinism as the religion of human and social freedom, which is based on God's sovereignty. Kuyper's work was received in diverse ways around the world, but tended to be overlooked in German-speaking countries. The new edition now offers a reliable text by correcting the contemporary translation from 1904 and comparing it with the current Dutch edition. Moderate commentary supports access to this epochal work by one of the founding figures of Christian democracy.

Text in German. The annotated text-critical edition of this seminal work by Alfred Adler presents the original version from 1912. This makes the state of Adler's theory accessible after his separation from Freud, as he had developed it within the circle around Freud and at the same time against Freud. The variant apparatus documents all changes in the new editions of 1919, 1922 and 1928. This edition can be read like a workshop report from Adler's work on his theory development. The philosophical, psychological and medical-historical interdependencies become clear in the commentary section through the biographical and factual explanations of numerous authors and technical terms named or quoted by Adler. As a result, this edition can serve as a tool for exploring a branch that forms the origin of numerous psychotherapy concepts, with psychosomatic, psychoanalytic or socio-pedagogical ramifications that are still effective today.

Heutzutage sind Schulen mit ganz anderen Aufgaben und Anforderungen konfrontiert. Wissensvermittlung ist zu einem Teilbereich geworden, die Förderung sozialer und personaler Kompetenzen rückt dagegen mehr und mehr ins Zentrum. Auch Eltern sind heute kritischer und stellen die Autorität von Lehrpersonen schnell einmal infrage. Traditionelle erzieherische Vorstellungen und Methoden sind nicht mehr legitim oder bleiben bei den Schülern und Schülerinnen oft wirkungslos. Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass die alltäglichen Auseinandersetzungen im Klassenzimmer einer der gewichtigsten Gründe für Lehrpersonen sind, ein Burnout zu erleiden oder den Beruf zu wechseln. Umso wichtiger werden Fragen wie etwa: Wie schaffen Schulen eine gute Lernatmosphäre, wie kann auffälligen Kindern und Jugendlichen Respekt beigebracht werden, wie werden Ruhe und Sicherheit erreicht? 'Raus aus der Ohnmacht' heißt die Devise für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer. In diesem Buch findet sich eine geballte Ladung an Erfahrung und systematischem Vorgehen mit und nach den Prinzipien der Neuen Autorität. Die vielen Beispiele belegen auf eindrückliche Weise, wie wirksam und entlastend ihre Anwendung ist.

Zur Bewältigung des Lebens mit seinen Chancen, Herausforderungen und Krisen, mit Glück und Leid gibt es viele Strategien: Lebenseinstellung, Philosophie, Moral, Glaube! – aber Aberglaube? Gibt es den überhaupt noch in einer aufgeklärten Welt, in der digitale Prozesse Produktion, Kommunikation und Börsenkurse bestimmen? Das renommierte Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach resümiert: „Auch in einer Zeit, die durch Technik und Wissenschaft geprägt ist, hat der Aberglaube seine Überzeugungskraft nicht verloren. Im Gegenteil, aus den Umfragen, die das Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach seit Jahrzehnten zu dem Thema durchführt, wird deutlich, dass der irrationale Glaube an gute und schlimme Vorzeichen in der Bevölkerung lebt und heute weiter verbreitet ist als noch vor einem Vierteljahrhundert.“ Wer mit Menschen in welcher Lebenslage auch immer umgeht, tut also gut daran, mit abergläubischen Vorstellungen und Praktiken zu rechnen. „Leidfaden“ widmet diesem Phänomen ein ganzes Heft und beleuchtet historische wie gegenwärtige Zusammenhänge und hat dafür namhafte Autorinnen und Autoren gewonnen.

In 2011, the results report of a project published by the German Society for Supervision e. V. (DGSv) funded study on the "inner workings" of organizations in Germany. This volume reports on a second study, which again asked DGSv members how they perceive working conditions in economic and non-economic organizations and their effects on employees three years later. In addition to the expanded data basis, four new sets of questions were also taken into account: Can repetitive questions show significant changes in working conditions since 2008? How important are quality standards of work for employees? To keep jobs (mentally) healthy? How far has fair performance been achieved in organizations?

Why do people write a warning on cigarette packs that smoking can be fatal? Because we don't trust individuals to always make the decision that the general public thinks is the right one. To answer the question "What should I do?", People need motivational aids. They are controlled by a complex set of rules, laws and moral requirements to protect individuals from "wrong" decisions. This danger is obviously classified as great; unlike what it suggests based on rational ethics, even ethical decisions fit fully into an economic system. Economics is to be understood as the organization of our life needs: Our brain tries to simplify everything as possible and to use its resources sparingly. It is committed to an economy of thought. The authors of the book discuss how our picture of economy, ethics, morality and decision changes if we take the results of recent brain research seriously.

Trauma ist inzwischen kein »Modebegriff« mehr und nach Ansicht kompetenter Traumatherapeuten auch nie gewesen. Die Traumaperspektive ist in Psychotherapie, Psychoanalyse, Psychosomatik und Psychiatrie fest etabliert. Es ist unabweisbar, dass Traumatisierungen, insbesondere in Kindheit und Jugend, die Lebensperspektive der Betroffenen zeitlebens überschatten und die Gesellschaft auf Jahrzehnte belasten. »Zeit heilt alle Wunden« drückt einen Wunsch aus. Dieser Spruch ist entstanden aus der Erfahrung von einem Teil der Traumatisierten, deren Störungen sich tatsächlich in einigen Monaten bessern. Beruhigend, beschwichtigend, vielleicht sogar abschiebend ist diese Redewendung jedoch bei jenen Traumatisierten, deren Störungen eben nicht von der Zeit geheilt werden, denen aber bisher nicht zu helfen war. Heute ist weit mehr möglich als noch vor zehn Jahren. Dieses Kompendium legt die Fortschritte in Forschung und Therapie zu zentralen Fragen der Psychotraumatologie vor. Einige Kontroversen sind inzwischen wissenschaftlich fundiert zu beantworten, etwa die Frage: Stabilisieren oder Konfrontieren? Hier lautet die einfache, klinisch lange bekannte und inzwischen empirisch belegte Antwort: Stabilisieren und Konfrontieren. Weitere Kontroversen werden zu neuen Fragen und Antworten führen.

Edvard BeneÅ gilt als eine kontroverse Gestalt der tschechischen und tschechoslowakischen Geschichte - und zwar nicht nur in Tschechien, sondern auch international. In dem Sammelband fassen tschechische, deutsche, britische, slowakische und polnische Forscher den Forschungsstand zur Wahrnehmung der Politik und Person BeneÅ im politischen Diskurs, in den Medien sowie in den Memoiren von Zeitgenossen von den 1920ern bis zur Gegenwart zusammen. Angesichts der geringen Zahl deutschsprachiger Studien und Quelleneditionen zum Thema wird der Band dazu beitragen, die Diskussion ëber BeneÅ und die Debatten um seine Politik, die oft auf die so genannten BeneÅ -Dekrete und die Zwangsaussiedlung der deutschen Minderheit reduziert werden, zu versachlichen

Dieser dritte Band von Wilhelm Diltheys Briefwechsel enthält ausgewählte Briefe von und an Dilthey aus den Jahren 1896-1905. Die hier größtenteils erstmalig aus den Nachlässen Diltheys und seiner zahlreichen Briefpartner edierten und kommentierten Briefe geben Aufschluss über die Lebens- und Arbeitssituation Diltheys während seiner letzten zehn Jahre als ordentlicher Professor der Philosophie an der Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin bis zu seiner Emeritierung im Juli 1905. Einen inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt der Briefe dieses Bandes bildet durchgehend vor allem Diltheys Initiierung, Organisation und Leitung der Kant-Akademieausgabe. Ein weiterer Arbeitsschwerpunkt Diltheys liegt seit ca. 1900 in seinem Engagement für die Durchführung einer interuniversitär geplanten Leibniz-Akademieausgabe und seinen damit zusammenhängenden eigenen Forschungen, Aktivitäten und Schriften. Neben diesen beiden Großprojekten, an denen Dilthey maßgeblich und federführend beteiligt war, arbeitete er unermüdlich am zweiten Band des Lebens Schleiermachers und der Fortsetzung zur Grundlegung der Geisteswissenschaften parallel weiter, in der Hoffnung beides noch fertigstellen zu können. Darüber hinaus veranschaulichen gerade die Briefe dieses Zeitraums Diltheys teilweise chaotischen Arbeitsstil sowie den fordernden Umgang mit seinen engsten Mitarbeitern, wie etwa Paul Menzer, Alfred Heubaum, Paul Ritter und Herman Nohl.

The 2017 edition of the Simon Dubnow Institute Yearbook encompasses two focal points: The first deals with the year 1938, an incisive year for Europe's Jews, against the background of Jewish experiences and political activities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. On the basis of issues surrounding citizenship, minority rights, flight, and migration, this dramatic crisis is cast in a new light, with the focus placed especially on the states of Central and Eastern Europe. The second focal point takes the enduring surge in biographical research as an impetus to examine the reasons for the popularity of this genre within Jewish Studies. Using examples from current research projects on Jewish intellectuals, core issues and challenges of biographical writing are presented and discussed. The general part and the special sections of the Yearbook contain contributions on the conjunction of political and religious history, on the study of nationalism and historical semantics, as well as on Sholem Aleichem, Franz Neumann, and Ernst Grumach.

Text in German. How, and particularly why, did the -leftist"-leaning faction of the democratic opposition in Poland arise? Agnes Arndt looks at the social and gender-specific perspectives that were present in the beginnings of the Polish leftist dissidents. She poses, and answers, questions concerning the bourgeois and often Jewish background of the main actors. She also looks at their relationship to the Communist authorities, the Polish nation and the primarily Catholic Polish society.

Text in German. The "war neurosis" became one of the metaphors of the First World War. A fundamental debate broke out in the Weimar Republic about the compensation for mental disorders. Stephanie Neuner focuses on this conflict-ridden discourse in which political interests, medical interpretation patterns, legal models of thought and personal perceptions collide. She describes the disputes about the recognition of war-related mental disorders as illness and the resulting pension entitlement. The subjective experiences and personal résumés of those affected show how long the mental health impaired the everyday life and personal self-image of the war victims.

Text in German. Following the Second World War West German and Italian historians tried to influence the "culture of remembrance" via the mass media. But how successful was that attempt? Did they participate in the discussions surrounding the previous years of National Socialist and Fascist rule as intellectuals - or were they simple taking part in public debates? Marcel vom Lehn looks at the different ways in which the historians from these two countries contributed to their respective country's appraisal of the past. He shows how they used the mass media in this process, and how their expertise and private efforts worked hand in hand.

The widespread use of digital media today and its possibilities for distribution and reproduction are moving intellectual property rights into the center of public attention and making them a permanent issue - nationally, across Europe and internationally. But how has the global expansion of intellectual property rights developed since the late 19th century? In this study, Isabella Löhr shows how closely the worldwide introduction of copyrights was linked to two other historical processes: The globalization of society, culture and economy since the middle of the 19th century led to the establishment and expansion of international organizations that were first of all on property rights organizational place in international politics.

In the 19th century, a new sensitivity to food quality arose, which was reflected in a broad public debate. Increasingly industrialized food production, myriad novel products, and scientific advances created a feeling of insecurity among consumers. Vera Hierholzer explores the question of how the developing consumer society dealt with the growing distrust. It examines which new forms of securing trust have emerged and not only looks at legislation, but also the standard-setting of other actors. The study shows that a model of food regulation based on the division of labor has emerged in the interplay between the state, science, business and consumers.

Using England as an example, the book reconstructs the centuries-long process of commercialization that gave birth to modern market society. It is shown under what circumstances, since the late Middle Ages, certain types of markets - for land, capital and labor, but also e.g. B. for rights of use - and how the social relationships mediated through markets were shaped in the course of the early modern period. In this context, the book examines the emergence of regulatory and control bodies of the market, such as the stock exchange, the Bank of England and Lloyds insurance. Communication between the actors and how they deal with the uncertainty and risks of the market are also dealt with. The result of the study shows that the process of commercialization of the economy, society and culture in England did not lead directly to industrial society, as research had previously assumed, but to the service society.

How did you make a state with this state? In addition to the German politicians of the Bonn Republic, this study shows a large number of actors: from the "high" state guests to the "simple" citizens on the street. After the end of the Second World War, state visits enjoyed an international boom and from the outset the West Germans recognized the acting potential that lay in these events. They were able to organize the trips of the foreign heads of state in such a way that the facets of the Federal Republic were expressed in a differentiated manner or even designed in the first place. This study illuminates the image repertoire of West German self-portrayal from a cultural-historical perspective and shows the range between the planned staging and the incalculable dynamics of the implementation. A look at the exclusive societies of the ballrooms and the spectators at the roadside grants deep insights into the structural change in the relationship between state and society in the age of the mass media. The study shows how the visual mass media developed into a dispositive for the perception of state and politics.

In intellectual history, Zionist thinking was shaped by the philosophy of life that dominated many intellectuals between the turn of the century and the late 1920s. Zionism and the philosophy of life were connected not only by the fact that they were a response to a generally stated cultural crisis; They also had in common that some key writings of the philosophy of life saw themselves as a form of modern gnosis. Based on the writings of the philosopher Ludwig Klages (18721956) and the Jewish thinkers Theodor Lessing (18721933) and Jakob Klatzkin (18821948) Yotam Hotam places Zionism in the historical and philosophical context and pursues traces of the philosophy of life.

The 2013 Yearbook of the Simon Dubnow Institute is centered on two focal areas: Jewish military history and the secularization of Hebrew. Jewish military history is principally a history of the integration of the Jews into their surrounding European cultures. This section highlights questions of loyalty and citizenship. The thematic focus brings together contributions from recent research on this theme. On the one hand, imperial and national life worlds are differentiated; on the other hand, topics are explored that touch on questions of religion in the face of military demands and exigencies. The second part on the secularization of Hebrew presents essays on the transformation of Hebrew as a primarily "sacred language" anchored, until the dawn of modernity, in religious written culture. In particular, it explores secularizing impulses in the medieval and early modern era affecting the language. The papers are complemented by other articles concerned with language philosophy and literary studies.The regular and the special sections of the Yearbook contain articles on Holocaust historiography, Oriental studies, Christian Hebraic studies, the Science of Judaism (Wissenschaft des Judentums), as well as contributions examining the differing processes of appropriation, transfer and representation of everyday and historical Jewish experience in literature, poetics and theater.

Als Reformuniversitäten sollten Konstanz und Bielefeld in den 1960er Jahren neue Konzepte erproben, Reformen an den bereits bestehenden Hochschulen vorbereiten und eine Differenzierung des Hochschulsystems einleiten. Für diese Prestigeprojekte der damaligen Hochschul- und Landespolitik engagierten sich institutionelle Akteure im bundesdeutschen Wissenschaftssystem, wie der Wissenschaftsrat, die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft oder der Verband Deutscher Studentenschaften, aber auch prominente Wissenschaftler wie Ralf Dahrendorf in Konstanz und Helmut Schelsky in Bielefeld. Die Entwicklung von Universitäten neuen Typs schloss an intensive Diskussionen an, die seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs über die Reformbedürftigkeit der Hochschulen geführt wurden mit Bezug auf neuere internationale Entwicklungen ebenso wie auf Traditionen der deutschen Universitäten. Auf dem Prüfstand standen zunächst alle Kernfunktionen in Bildung, Ausbildung und Forschung. Bei der Entwicklung der Universitäten Konstanz und Bielefeld konzentrierten sich die beteiligten Wissenschaftler schließlich jedoch auf die Forschungsfunktion. Die Idee für neue Colleges konnte sich hingegen nicht durchsetzen, obwohl die neuen Universitäten als Campus-Universitäten gebaut wurden. Noch während Konstanz und Bielefeld aufgebaut wurden, veränderte sich das hochschulpolitische Umfeld allerdings sehr dynamisch. Die Reformuniversitäten verloren ihre herausragende Position in der Hochschulpolitik rasch, doch die Idee der Reform durch Neugründung erlebte in den 1990er Jahren eine Renaissance, ebenso wie der Wunsch nach einer Differenzierung des Hochschulsystems.

This book is the first time a detailed historical account of the process of SED disempowerment and democratization up to the March 1990 election is available. The text is supplemented by numerous diagrams with which the votes of the population are quantified and evaluated. Using the example of Saxony, the pacemaker of the revolution, the developments in districts, districts, municipalities and companies in interaction with international and national politics are examined and the main driving forces of development are described. The book will have a lasting impact on the image of the "Wende". It leaves no doubt that the population was the central actor in the events. This makes it plausible why developments did not stop when the GDR was renewed, but instead culminated in German unity.

Text in German. History and Society has been the journal for historical social science for thirty years. On this occasion, current and previous editors discuss the future of social history in an international context. Some contributions take a look at classic topics of social history, others reformulate the foundations of a history of social structures and practices after the "cultural turn" and in view of the challenge posed by a global view of history. A third group deals with the relationship to neighboring disciplines of historical studies, especially political science and economics. Finally, a fourth focus of the volume is on state development and social change in the Federal Republic of Germany.
