The enormous loss of life and physical destruction caused by the First World War led people to hope that there would never be another such catastrophe. How then did it come about that there was a Second World War causing twice the 30 million deaths and many times more destruction as had been caused in the previous conflict? In this Very Short Introduction, Gerhard L. Weinberg provides an introduction to the origins, course, and impact of the war on those who fought and the ordinary citizens who lived through it. Starting by looking at the inter-war years and the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, he examines how the war progressed by examining a number of key events, including the war in the West in 1940, Barbarossa, The German Invasion of the Soviet Union, the expansion of Japan's war with China, developments on the home front, and the Allied victory from 1944-45. Exploring the costs and effects of the war, Weinberg concludes by considering the long-lasting mark World War II has left on society today.

Son muchos hombres de buena voluntad, incluso no pertenecientes a la comunidad cristiana, que reconocen al papa como la más alta autoridad moral. El papa es signo tanto de la orientación del hombre por la verdad de Dios como de su indestructible dignidad y de la paz y la justicia social en la familia de los pueblos.Al conmemorar en 2017 los quinientos años de la Reforma, pero también con tristeza por la escisión de la cristiandad occidental, muchos cristianos que todavía no están en comunidad plena con el sucesor de Pedro anhelan una figura ecuménica del papado para que nos dirijamos a la unidad visible de la Iglesia tal y como la quiere su divino Fundador. Para poder cumplir la misión confiada por Cristo, el Santo Padre necesita la cualificada colaboración y el compromiso del colegio cardenalicio, que comparte su solicitud y, junto con él, representa a la Iglesia romana, madre y maestra de todas las iglesias.Las congregaciones cardenalicias de la curia romana, constituidas en

As the vigorous debate over the New Perspective on Paul will only be decided by means of careful consideration of the relevant Scripture passages, Romans 4 and the New Perspective on Paul makes a significant contribution to the discussion. Interpretations by scholars promoting the New Perspective approach are reviewed in detail and contrasted with those of scholars who are critical toward this method. A detailed analysis of the context and exegesis of Romans 4 completes the work. By suggesting a more nuanced exegesis of Romans 4, this book is able to offer a careful critique of the New Perspective while still noting the positive aspects of the latter approach.

The cities of this world furnish an inexhaustible number of impressions and images. Artist Detlef Waschkau has made the city into his subject – as a resident, flâneur and traveller – and placed it centrally in his artistic oeuvre. His works, which oscillate between sculpture and painting, are the result of numerous painterly and sculptural stages that mesh together like cogs during the production process. The title "Urban Vibes" is almost symbolic of timeless vibrations and transformations in urban space. The city turns into a powerhouse of emotions and an anchor point for the people hurrying through its streets. Waschkau’s works offer completely new views of seemingly familiar places, seeing them with totally fresh eyes: as sublime, poetic and incredibly delicate. The city as a stage for unexpected constellations – a "Symphony of the big city" Exhibition: Urban Vibes. Detlef Waschkau, Kunstraum Villa Friede, Bonn, 2022

Der Sammelband enthält 14 Studien zur paulinischen Theologie und zum Epheserbrief, die Gerhard Sellin in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten veröffentlicht hat. Innerhalb des Corpus Paulinum liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf der korinthischen Korrespondenz. Behandelt werden zentrale exegetische, traditions- und religionsgeschichtliche Probleme, die in der Forschung z.T. höchst kontrovers diskutiert werden: Das Rätsel der -Christuspartei", Anlass und Hintergrund des Streits um die Auferstehung der Toten, das Wirken des Apollos in Korinth, die Spiritualisierung apokalyptischer Vorstellungen und ihr Verhältnis zur Weisheit. Weitere Beiträge fokussieren die Bedeutung und Funktion des Mythischen bei Paulus, befassen sich mit den kategorialen Voraussetzungen der paulinischen Ethik und fragen nach dem prägenden Einfluss hellenistisch-jëdischen Denkens, wie Philo von Alexandrien es repräsentiert, auf die Theologie des Apostels.Die ëbrigen Aufsätze zum Epheserbrief, der zu den anspruchvollsten und - gerade auch in ökumenischer Perspektive - umstrittensten Texten des Neuen Testaments gehört, zielen auf eine theologische und religionsgeschichtliche Profilierung dieses Schreibens (Adressaten, Intention, Christologie, Ekklesiologie, Ethik). Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass sein Autor umfassende Kenntnisse der paulinischen Briefe und ihrer Theologie besitzt. Trotz signifikanter Modifikationen und des von ihm bewusst wahrgenommenen historischen Abstands zur Pauluszeit erweist er sich als ein genuiner Paulusschëler.
