Die Floating Charge des englischen Rechts ermöglicht es einem Sicherungsnehmer, durch einen einfachen Vorgang das gesamte Vermögen einer englischen Limited im In- und Ausland zu besichern. Dabei gewährt sie ihm in der Insolvenz des Sicherungsgebers jedoch lediglich ein sehr eingeschränktes Vorrecht. Daher greift die Kreditpraxis häufig nur im Hinblick auf solche Vermögensgegenstände auf die Floating Charge zurück, die nicht ohnehin anderweitig erstrangig dinglich besichert werden können. Der maßgebliche Vorteil dieses Sicherungsmittels liegt dagegen in der Möglichkeit zur Bestellung eines Unternehmensverwalters. Der Unternehmensverwalter ersetzt dabei weitgehend die Geschäftsführung und ist nicht an Weisungen der Gesellschafter gebunden. Idealerweise führt er das Unternehmen zurück in die Profitabilität oder verwertet die Floating Charge, wenn der "turn-around" nicht mehr möglich scheint. Fritz Kleweta analysiert die Möglichkeit einer Floating Charge über das Vermögen einer Limited, die den Mittelpunkt ihrer hauptsächlichen Interessen in Deutschland hat (CoMI), und zeigt, inwiefern ein Unternehmensverwalter auch in Deutschland eingesetzt werden könnte.

This volume explores the background and circumstances that brought about a milestone relationship between George Washington and the Jews. President George Washington was the first head of a modern nation to openly acknowledge the Jews as full-fledged citizens of the land in which they had chosen to settle. His personal philosophy of religious tolerance can be summed up from an address made in 1790 to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, where he said 'May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants, while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.' Was it Washington's respect for the wisdom of the ancient Prophets or the participation of the patriotic Jews in the struggle for independence that motivated Washington to direct his most significant and profound statement on religious freedom at a Jewish audience?

Zwei Fragen bilden den Kern der vorliegenden traditionsgeschichtlichen Untersuchung über die eschatologischen Vorstellungen in den beiden Thessalonicherbriefen (1Thess 4,13-5,11 und 2Thess 2,1-12): die traditionsgeschichtliche Herkunft der Bezeichnung 'der Mensch der Gesetzlosigkeit' (2Thess 2,3) / ''der Gesetzlose' (2Thess 2,8) und die Frage nach urchristlichen Überlieferungen, die den eschatologischen Vorstellungen aus beiden Thessalonicherbriefen nahe stehen könnten.In Bezug auf die traditionsgeschichtliche Herkunft des 'Menschen der Gesetzlosigkeit' zeigt Fritz W. Röcker, dass der Begriff 'Belial' mit 'Gesetzlosigkeit''/ 'Gesetzloser' wiedergegeben wurde. Belial bezeichnet im Alten Testament, in 'Qumran', den atl. Pseudepigraphen und im Neuen Testament stets Sachverhalte oder Personen, die gegen Gottes Gesetz oder gegen Gott gerichtet sind. Zudem ist der Begriff nahezu überall mythisch konnotiert. Als nächstliegende urchristliche Überlieferung, die den eschatologischen Vorstellungen aus den Thessalonicherbriefen zugrunde liegen könnte, hat sich die Überlieferung, die in Mt 24 aufgenommen ist, herauskristallisieren lassen. Aufgrund der Nähe, die diese Texte zueinander aufweisen, ist es wahrscheinlich, dass der 2Thess den 1Thess mit seinen Ausführungen auf dem Hintergrund einer Überlieferung, wie sie auch Mt 24 vorgelegen hatte, ergänzen bzw. fortsetzen will. Die Naherwartung der Parusie im 1Thess und die Vorstellung von der Verzögerung derselben im 2Thess werden jeweils als Reaktionen verstanden, die auf unterschiedliche Fragen in der Gemeinde von Thessaloniki zurückzuführen sind. Der/das Katechon dürfte am ehesten mit dem Verkündiger des Evangeliums / dem Evangelium zu identifizieren sein.
