A Westerner’s travels among the persecuted and displaced Christian remnant in Iraq and Syria teach him much about faith under fire. Gold Medal Winner, 2018 IPPY Book of the Year Award Silver Medal Winner, 2018 Benjamin Franklin Award Finalist, 2018 ECPA Christian Book Award Inside Syria and Iraq, and even along the refugee trail, they’re a religious minority persecuted for their Christian faith. Outside the Middle East, they’re suspect because of their nationality. A small remnant of Christians is on the run from the Islamic State. If they are wiped out, or scattered to the corners of the earth, the language that Jesus spoke may be lost forever – along with the witness of a church that has modeled Jesus’ way of nonviolence and enemy-love for two millennia. The kidnapping, enslavement, torture, and murder of Christians by the Islamic State, or ISIS, have been detailed by journalists, as have the jihadists' deliberate efforts to destroy the cultural heritage of a region that is the cradle of Christianity. But some stories run deep, and without a better understanding of the religious and historical roots of the present conflict, history will keep repeating itself century after century. Andreas Knapp, a priest who works with refugees in Germany, travelled to camps for displaced people in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq to collect stories of survivors – and to seek answers to troubling questions about the link between religion and violence. He found Christians who today still speak Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, the language of Jesus. The uprooted remnant of ancient churches, they doggedly continue to practice their faith despite the odds. Their devastating eyewitness reports make it clear why millions are fleeing the Middle East. Yet, remarkably, though these last Christians hold little hope of ever returning to their homes, they also harbor no thirst for revenge. Could it be that they – along with the Christians of the West, whose interest will determine their fate – hold the key to breaking the cycle of violence in the region? Includes sixteen pages of color photographs.

Welche Rolle hat der Erste Petrusbrief im antiken Christentum gespielt? Wie und in welchen Kontexten wurden seine einzelnen Verse rezipiert? Solche Fragen beantwortet der vorliegende Band.Der Erste Petrusbrief nimmt in der Patristik eine fÃ"hrende Stellung unter den so genannten Katholischen Briefen ein. Schon Irenäus und Tertullian zählen ihn zu den offiziellen kirchlichen Schriften. Klemens von Alexandrien und Didymus der Blinde widmen ihm Kommentare. Allerdings ist die Ãberlieferung in Kommentarform zum Ersten Petrusbrief spärlich, so dass das Gros der patristischen Auslegungen aus verstreuten Rezeptionen in der Ã"brigen antiken christlichen Literatur zusammengetragen werden muss.Andreas Merkt stellt Vers fÃ"r Vers diese Rezeptionen in ihren jeweiligen Kontexten dar. Es wird damit erstmals ein umfassender historisch-kritischer Kommentar der Rezeptionen des Ersten Petrusbriefes in der antiken christlichen Literatur geboten.

But no matter the personal cost, Kolbe will not be deterred. In scenes that pulse with suspense, he emerges as a towering figure who risked everything to save innocent lives—and Germany from itself.

Eine „tägliche […] Buchführung mit sich selbst“ war für Goethe von großer Bedeutung, wie er 1827 gegenüber Kanzler Friedrich von Müller formulierte. Seine überlieferten Tagebücher machen rund zehn Prozent seines literarischen Nachlasses aus und erstrecken sich über einen Zeitraum von 57 Jahren. In der neuen historisch-kritischen Edition werden die Texte – im Unterschied zur Weimarer Ausgabe von Goethes Werken – ohne Eingriffe durch die Herausgeber nach den Handschriften wiedergegeben. Ein Apparat verzeichnet sämtliche zeitgenössischen Korrekturen und Ergänzungen sowie die Wechsel der Schreiber. Ein umfangreiches Register der direkt und indirekt im Tagebuch genannten Personen, Werke und Orte sowie ein Register zu Goethes Werken erschließen den Text. Ein ausführlicher Kommentar im zweiten Teilband erläutert und kontextualisiert die Notate und macht sie dadurch mit Gewinn lesbar.
