Download or read book Germany and the Confessional Divide written by Mark Edward Ruff and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From German unification in 1871 through the early 1960s, confessional tensions between Catholics and Protestants were a source of deep division in German society. Engaging this period of historic strife, Germany and the Confessional Divide focuses on three traumatic episodes: the Kulturkampf waged against the Catholic Church in the 1870s, the collapse of the Hohenzollern monarchy and state-supported Protestantism after World War I, and the Nazi persecution of the churches. It argues that memories of these traumatic experiences regularly reignited confessional tensions. Only as German society became increasingly secular did these memories fade and tensions ease.

Both remember their family's daring and terrifying attempt to escape, which ended in tragedy; but the fall-out from that single event remains elusive. Where did their parents disappear to, and why? What happened to Heiko, their little brother? And was there ever a painting of three blue horses? In contemporary Germany, Aaron works for the archive, making his way through old files, piecing together the tragic history of thousands of families. But one file in particular catches his eye; and soon unravelling the secrets at its heart becomes an obsession. When Ella is left a stash of notebooks by her mother, and she and Tobi embark on a search that will take them back to Berlin, her fate clashes with Aaron's, and together they piece together the details of Ella's past... and a family destroyed. Devastating and beautifully written, funny and life-affirming, Confession with Blue Horsesexplores intimate family life and its strength in the most difficult of circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THEOLOGICAL PUBLISHERS - 2 : PICKWICK PRESS (1974-1980) - PICKWICK PUBLICATIONS (1982-) by Dikran Y. Hadidian Upon my return in September of 1973 from my sabbatical year in Beirut, where I had time to think through the initial plan of publishing dissertations, I approached the president of a local commercial printing company who also happened to be a friend. He, after several days of consideration, gave me the green light to go ahead and plan publications of theological monographs at the company's expense. I served as general editor fully responsible in all decisions to negotiate with authors, translators and editors of collected essays on the possible publication of their works. Thus BULLETIN ABTAPL VOL.2 N0.7 13 MARCH, 1990 in 1974 the Pickwick-Morcroft Company began to publish monographs under the name of Pickwick Press. The first series was called the Pittsburgh Theological Monograph Series together with two other series, namely Pittsburgh Reprint Series and Pittsburgh Original Texts and Translations Series. These continued until 1980, when the president of Pickwick-Morcroft suffered a stroke and his successor was not interested in continuing the previous arrangement. Dikran Y.

Download or read book Peter Riedemann s Hutterite Confession of Faith written by PETER. RIEDEMANN CARLSTADT) and published by Classics of the Radical Reform. This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in prison during 1540-42, Riedemann writes for the Lutheran ruler, Philip of Hesse. He explains the Hutterite goal of a renewed community and dispels popular misconceptions. The Hutterites quickly accept the Confession as their own. Riedemann creatively weaves together a fresh reading of the Bible with the classical creeds. He produces a powerful synthesis of Scripture and tradition on which to base Christian community. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other. Riedemann_s Confession gives theological grounding for the Hutterite understanding of economic communalism and offers practical examples of it. This confession still guides Hutterite communities. Includes John J. Friesen_s translation of the 1565 German edition of Confession of Our Religion, Teaching, and Faith, by the Brothers Who Are Known as the Hutterites along with a new history of Riedemann.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a genealogical study of confession. Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault as well as the history of Western confessional writings from Ancient Greece to contemporary pop culture, this book challenges the transhistorical and commonsense views of confession as an innate impulse resulting in the psychological liberation of the confessing subject. On the contrary, confessional desire is argued to be contingent and constraining, and alternatives to confessional subjectivity are explored.
