Homiletics

Die lutherischen Duale

Die lutherischen Duale »Gesetz und Evangelium«, »Glaube und gute Werke«, »Alter und Neuer Bund«, »Verheißung und Erfüllung« haben eine ambivalente Geschichte: Sie dienten lutherischer Theologie, Frömmigkeit und insbesondere der Predigtkultur über fast fünf Jahrhunderte als Schlüssel zum Verstehen der Vielfalt biblischer Texte. Sie wurden jedoch häufig auch dazu verwendet, die jüdische Religion als defizitär darzustellen oder herabzuwürdigen. Die Bischofskonferenz hat darum dem Theologischen Ausschuss der VELKD den Auftrag gegeben, die Verwendung der »Duale« zu prüfen. In diesem Rahmen sind die vorliegenden Untersuchungen aus verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen zum jeweiligen Verständnis der Duale entstanden. Der Band diskutiert erhellend die theologische und existenzerschließende Bedeutung und gegenwartsorientierte Wahrnehmung der Duale, aber ebenso ihre notwendige kritische Reflexion vor dem Hintergrund des jüdisch-christlichen Dialogs.Mit Beiträgen von Christine Axt-Piscalar, Uwe Becker, Achim Behrens, Ulrich Heckel, Rochus Leonhardt, Wolf-Friedrich Schäufele.[The Lutheran »Dual Terms«]The »dual terms« Law and Gospel, Faith and Good Deeds, Old and New Covenant, Promise and Fulfilment have been central to Lutheran hermeneutics. They do have an ambivalent history: Lutheran theology, piety, and homiletics have relied on them as the key to an existential and theological understanding of biblical texts. At the same time they have been used much too often as a means to debase Jewish religion. The Bishops' Conference of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany (VELKD) assigned an examination of these terms and their use to the Theological Board of VELKD. The collection of essays is the result of this examination: Various disciplines of Theology give an insight into the formation, meaning and development of the "dual terms", the dangers and how to avoid them, current aesthetics to these terms and possibilities to further use them, against the background of the Jewish-Christian dialogue.

A Gospel for All Ages (eBook, ePUB)

A Gospel for All Ages lives at the intersection of two conversations--preaching and intergenerational ministry. By integrating these two topics, an entirely new conversation emerges, one that draws from both, that interrogates both, and that births something new in the process, creating fresh possibilities for a sleepy church.The fields of preaching and intergenerational ministry rarely cross paths because they are championed by two different sorts of ministerial leaders. On the one hand, preaching and homiletics has largely been a field for teaching pastors, senior ministers, and other pastoral practitioners who are tasked with the important work of proclaiming the gospel to congregations of adults every week. On the other hand, the cheerleaders of intergenerational ministry have tended to be ministry leaders who find their primary vocation within the formation of adolescents and children. Increasing numbers of Christian educators and leaders who work in children's and youth ministry are lifting high the banner of intergenerational ministry.Wherever your tent is planted in one camp or the other, this book is for you. If God has called you to the work of preaching, you find within these pages wise words and best practices for improving and expanding your homiletical practice in light of the eight-year-olds and eighty-year-olds who share a pew on Sunday mornings. If your vocation is Christian education or intergenerational ministry, these chapters will spur you toward that final frontier of all-age worship as you consider how your vocation can include the preaching of the gospel to young and old alike.Six creative ministry professionals join author David M. Csinos in providing intergenerational best-practice resources. Each chapter includes discussion questions and exercises for future practice
