• 9780789734198: Absolute Beginner's Guide to the Bible von Tom Head  € 19,21 [D]*  Lieferbar
  Finding an introduction to the Bible without any denominational strings attached is difficult, if not impossible. Browse the shelves at any bookstore and you'll find dozens of books calling themselves introductions to the Bible, but once you get to the text instead of scholarly, unbiased information you'll find what the author or his denomination thinks the Bible says. You will also find that very few of these books actually make the reader want to pick up a Bible and read it. The Bible is a complex work simply too good to be left to wide-eyed televangelists and cranky old scholars alone-this book provides the information about the Bible many readers crave without making them feel like they have stumbled into somebody else's religious service. Absolute Beginner's Guide to the Bible gives readers, whether new to the Bible or looking for a refresher course, a framework to their Biblical studies. Tom Head, a theological Ph.D. student and author, teaches readers how to look at the Bible with an eye for history, literature, interpretation, and fun. In addition readers will learn a vocabulary they can use to study and discuss the Bible with others. With thorough coverage of the history of the Bible and how it came to be the book it is today, the fascinating stories and people of the Old and New Testaments, as well as resources for further study, this book will change the way people read and feel about the Bible.

• 9780131897038: Anatomy of the New Testament von Robert A. Spivey, D. Moody Smith, Clifton Black  € 60,62 [D]*  Lieferbar
  For introductory courses in New Testament at the undergraduate or seminary (theological school) level.

   

  Anatomy of the New Testament requires students to read the New Testament for themselves, while providing a framework and background for doing so. Students learn at the outset something about the origin  and purpose of each New Testament writing, but are invited by leading questions to test everything against the text itself. 

  The authors wrote Anatomy of the New Testament because most beginning students have never read the New Testament, or have read it without thinking critically about its character and purpose. By engaging specific and representative texts, students are encouraged to read thoughtfully and ask appropriate questions about the New Testament.

• 9780028642338: Complete Idiot's Guide® to Understanding Islam, The von Yahiya John Emerick  € 15,36 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  Islam may be the most misunderstood faith in history. Most of us learn little or nothing about Islam in school; in fact, our knowledge of Muslims may be restricted to news reports on the Middle East and Louis Farrakhan. Surprise--the vast majority of Muslims aren't Arabs, the Muslim Allah is very much the "one God" Christians and Jews believe in, many of the scientific and medical innovations we take for granted were passed on by Muslims, and the popular myths about Muslims often have little to do with the real beliefs of Islam. The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Understanding Islam reveals fascinating facts about Islam; they accept both the Old and New Testaments as holy books and accept Moses and Jesus as prophets. The book offers tips on Muslim culture, actual quotes from the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad, and prominent scholars, and answers to questions regarding everyday life from the Muslim perspective.

• 9780132230858: Crisis of Our Times, The, Demystifying Islam, Its Threats and Opportunities von Bernard Lewis, Buntzie Ellis Churchill  € 15,36 [D]*  Lieferbar
  For most Westerners, Islam remains a mystery. In this brief, exceptionally readable book, Bernard Lewis reveals Islam to the rest of us: what its adherents believe, how their faith has shaped them, and the rich and diverse cultures and politics they have created over nearly 1,400 years. Lewis is the world's leading expert on Islam: his views have influenced world leaders for decades. Now, he's written the definitive introduction to Islam for the rest of us. Islam is indispensable reading for everyone who wants to understand the faith, culture, and peoples of Islam and respond effectively to the global challenges that involve Islam, from terror to oil. Drawing on a lifetime of scholarship, Lewis answers questions like: What are the pillars of the Islamic faith? What does Islam really say about jihad? About the differences between men and women? About tolerance and the rights of non-Moslems? What are the differences between Sunni and Shi'a? Can there be Islamic democracies? What does the Prophet say about free enterprise and profit? What really caused the rise of radical Islam? How can Moslems live their faith in societies that are largely non-Moslem, such as Europe and the U.S.? Whatever your political, personal, or religious views, you need to get past the common myths about Islam, and understand its reality. In that quest, there's no better guide than Bernard Lewis, and there's no better book than Islam.

  An Introduction to Christian Ethics uses a Christian approach while encouraging students to develop a method of dealing with issues for themselves and to reach conclusions that have significance for their lives.

   

  Roger Crook wrote this book based on his long experience teaching courses on Christian ethics to college students.  He has written a great deal of materials for college-aged young people and is able to effectively communicate with them.  The framework for his approach is the Apostle Paul's  summary statement, "For in Christ Jesus...the only thing that counts is faith working through love."  The elaboration of this theme involves an attempt to understand current issues and developments, an appropriate use of information drawn from a wide variety of sources, and an application of relevant biblical and theological concepts.

  New research has conspired to unsettle many established ideas about the Jewish past, challenging how historians have thought about and described it, and sometimes making it appear less accessible than it was thought to be in earlier generations.  While these recent developments would appear to make a history of the Jewish people more difficult, the authors of The Jews: A History believe it has deepened and broadened our understanding.  Though the reader will find in The Jews many familiar names, in its pages will also be found a broader spectrum of people: mothers, children, workers, students, artists, and radicals whose perspectives greatly expands the story of Jewish life from ancient times to the present.

• 9781408230473: King James's Bible von W.H. Stevenson  € 30,98 [D]*  Lieferbar
  

  "Many of my students stumble into vaguely mythological stories in their writing. When I ask them anything about the Bible, they frankly, by and large, don't know. I don't particularly blame them for it. But I do think there is a real problem with the education system that has allowed these great stories to disappear, to fade out of the diet everyone gets at school. It's an essential piece of cultural luggage."
  - Poet Laureate Andrew Motion

  Without an understanding of Biblical stories, readers lose out on much of the richness of English literature, as authors from Milton through T.S. Eliot to Jeanette Winterson draw inspiration from Biblical stories in their own writing.   This user-friendly annotated selection of key passages from the King James’s Bible clarifies the key themes, characters, stories and genealogies for students, offering timelines, a bibliography, and a detailed index for quick and easy reference.

  The original 1984 version, of which this is a revised edition, was written by Bill Stevenson as a response to his students' difficulty with biblical references in literature - a selection from the King James’s Bible that would give the student a notion of what the book contains, including the history of the 1611 text, the strands of imagery that bind the whole together. It gives the student a brief overview of the political, historical and religious contexts of the stories in the Bible as well as a brief history of the different versions of the Bible.

• 9780131834781: New Religious Movements, Religions of the World Series von Elijah Siegler, Ninian Smart, Richard Hecht  € 26,92 [D]*  Lieferbar
  

  For undergraduate courses in New Religious Movements (NRMs) or Religious Cults.

   

  Taking the approach that new religious movements are neither new nor inherently evil or dangerous, New Religious Movements takes a more historical and cultural perspective than other books on the market.

   

  Elijah Siegler wrote this book to counter the common misconception that NRMs first appeared suddenly in North America and Western Europe in the 1960s and 1970s.  He argues that this is a myopic perspective that derives from the fear that "cults" were seducing a young and naïve generation into leaving their comfortable lives and shows that NRMs have been developing across the globe over the last few centuries.  Most books about NRMs also begin from the question as to why anyone would join them but Elijah Siegler argues that this is not the most important question for students in classes on NRMs and his text assumes that people join NRMs for all sorts of psychological, theological, or cultural reasons.

Following chapters will concisely present the growth of Christianity and its many traditions throughout the Middle Ages and finally to its period of reformation and resulting sectarian movements. Final sections will focus on the current globalization of Christianity, its effects on Christian practice and beliefs and the new challenges and opportunities the faith will confront going into the 21st century.

Important contemporary concepts, practices and holidays such as Zionism, Kaddish and Passover, are but a few points of interest concisely covered.
