-Mystik ist katholisch. Mystik und Protestantismus passen nicht zusammen." Diese Meinung ist weit verbreitet, aber trotzdem falsch. Stattdessen stellt sich das Verhältnis von Mystik und Protestantismus als eine Problemgeschichte dar. Phasen der Hochschätzung und solche der Ablehnung wechselten einander ab. Seit der Reformation gab es Männer und Frauen, die dem Mainstream des Protestantismus angehören, deren Glaube und Theologie mystisch geprägt waren. Martin Luthers (1453-1546) reformatorische Erkenntnis entsprang einer mystischen Erfahrung. Seine reformatorische Theologie war mystisch orientiert. Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608), Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) und Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1700-1760) verliehen in Liedern und Musik ihren mystischen Erfahrungen klassischen Ausdruck. Selbst Leben und Werk protestantischer Zeitgenossen aus dem 20. Jh. wie Dag Hammarskjöld (1905-1961), Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) und Dorothee Sölle (1929-2003) waren mehr oder weniger offensichtlich mystisch geprägt. Sölle bekannte sich klar zur Mystik als einer Angelegenheit nicht von wenigen, sondern von allen Menschen. Tatsächlich war protestantische Mystik von Anfang an keine Angelegenheit religiöser Eliten, sondern stand allen offen. Da die evangelischen Choräle mystisch geprägt waren und das Abendmahl mystisch verstanden wurde, bot gerade der lutherische Gottesdienst allen Christen Zugang zu mystischem Glauben.

The ancient Buddhist art of Gandhāra was rediscovered from the 1830s and 1840s onwards in what would become the North-West Frontier of British India. By the end of the century an abundance of sculptures had been accumulated by European soldiers and officials, which constituted the foundations for a new field of scholarship and internationally celebrated museum collections. Both then and since, the understanding of Gandhāran art has been impeded by gaps in documentation, haphazard excavation, forgery, and smuggling of antiquities. Consequently, the study of Gandhāran archaeology often involves the evaluation and piecing together of fragmentary clues. In more subtle ways, however, the modern view of Gandhāran art has been shaped by the significance accorded to it by different observers over the past century and a half. Conceived in the imperial context of the late nineteenth century as ‘Graeco-Buddhist’ art – a hybrid of Asian religion and Mediterranean artistic form – Gandhāran art has been invested with various meanings since then, both in and beyond the academic sphere. Its puzzling links to the classical world of Greece and Rome have been explained from different perspectives, informed both by evolving perceptions of the evidence and by modern circumstances. From the archaeologists and smugglers of the Raj to the museums of post-partition Pakistan and India, from coin-forgers and contraband to modern Buddhism and contemporary art, this fourth volume of the Classical Art Research Centre’s Gandhāra Connections project presents the most recent research on the factors that mediate our encounter with Gandhāran art.

Education has become synonymous with schooling, but it doesn’t have to be. As schooling becomes increasingly standardized and test driven, occupying more of childhood than ever before, parents and educators are questioning the role of schooling in society. Many are now exploring and creating alternatives. In a compelling narrative that introduces historical and contemporary research on self-directed education, Unschooled also spotlights how a diverse group of individuals and organizations are evolving an old schooling model of education. These innovators challenge the myth that children need to be taught in order to learn. They are parents who saw firsthand how schooling can dull children’s natural curiosity and exuberance and others who decided early on to enable their children to learn without school. Educators who left public school classrooms discuss launching self-directed learning centers to allow young people’s innate learning instincts to flourish, and entrepreneurs explore their disillusionment with the teach-and-test approach of traditional schooling.
