Theology of social ethics.
Petitions to God?
Hope beyond death
In dialogue
Theologie der Sozialethik
Gott bitten?
For many people praying means
asking
God
for
something.
Petitionary prayer is an integral part
of church services. The bible is full
of petitions, and personal prayer
also generally includes them. An
increasing number of people are
questioning whether it is appropriate
to ask God for something. The texts
in this book attempt to provide
answers to this issue.
Gemeinsame Hoffnung über den Tod
hinaus
Im Dialog
The question of embedding social
ethics in theology and its theological
basis is central to the bearing of
content and social communication.
This book discusses which form
of argumentation is appropriate to
social realities and the relationship
between faith and reason.

Hotly disputed topics amongst
Christians of different confessions
are the immortality of the soul, the
Last Judgement and the hope of
a new world. This book expresses
the views of catholic, protestant,
orthodox and Baptist Christians.
The result is a differentiated
reasoning of a common hope
beyond death.

There has always been a great deal
of skepticism between theology
and sociology. This book aims to
document and motivate the dialogue
between theology and sociology of
religion. Representatives of each
faction reflect on social processes
such as secularization, religious
individualization and the reciprocity
between religion and politics.

Born in Bethlehem?
Can we insult God?
Leaving the church
Diakonia
Zu Bethlehem geboren?
Kann man Gott beleidigen?
Der Kirchenaustritt
Diakonia
The Christmas story never fails to
fascinate. It also addresses many
issues relating to the portrayal of
the image of God and the world in
the bible. Benedict XVI is in favor
of accepting the reality of the bible
story. This book discusses important
aspects of the Christmas story with
regard to latest research, particularly
regarding the birthplace, virgin
birth and the three wise men.
The subject of blasphemy has
suddenly grown in importance.
A „Punk prayer“ in an orthodox
church, caricatures of Mohammed,
and the pope on the cover of a
satirical magazine. On the one
hand people insist on freedom of
expression and on the other hand
many believers see a case for
blasphemy. Can God and faith be
insulted? Does religion need state
protection?
Can you leave the Catholic Church
according to State Law and still
remain a member of the community
of faith? This issue is the subject
of debate between experts on law
and theology.Georg Bier discusses
social-religious, dogmatic, pastoral
and canonical aspects of the issue
at hand and examines the situation
in Austria, Switzerland and the
Evangelical Regional Churches,
compiling a multi-facetted view of
the ongoing discussion.
Diakonia, a pastoral service of the
church for the people, highlights
the church‘s position in society
and in the world. Under the
heading „Church for the people“
the mission of the church and the
ways in which it executes pastoral
care are discussed. This book also
provides explanations of certain
concepts, analyses and viewpoints.

John‘s Gospel. A commentary
Does God intervene?
The church in a crisis of faith
Das Johannesevangelium
Wie handelt Gott in der Welt?
Kirche in der Glaubenskrise
Johannes
Beutler‘s
exegesis
is in keeping with the great
commentaries on this fourth gospel
which have greatly contributed to
an understanding of the text in the
light of its literary character and
theological thought. The reader is
enlightened by the literary effect
and the theological strengths of this
unique testimony.
There is frequent reference in the
old and new testaments to God‘s
intervention in the world. Nowadays
people turn to science and technology
for solutions to challenges - not
divine intervention. This book
reflects on a modern understanding
of divine intervention, miracles and
whether it is appropriate to ask God
to intervene.

There is great dispute on the best
way to overcome the current crisis
with regard to God, faith and
the church. Michal Böhnke has
developed a thesis, reflecting the
words of Paul VI, that only the
faithfulness of God to his people
can unify the church and give reason
to ecclesiastic law. He develops a
pneumatological
ecclesiology
and a theological foundation for
ecclesiastic law.

Striet, Magnus (Ed.)
Unity in Jesus Christ
„Not beyond the world“
Faith in a modernized world
Einheit in Jesus Christus
„Nicht außerhalb der Welt“
Glaube in modernisierter Lebenswelt
The path to Christian unity remains
challenging. There are many
standpoints and many different
understandings of what exactly
unity is. This second volume is an
excellent summary of what has been
achieved so far and provides reliable
orientation for ecumenical dialogue.
One of the basic illusions is that
the church is kind of counter
world to the present we live in.
This book analyses the ecclesiastic
and religious situation today from
a sociological aspect. It considers
why sociological analysis is an
integral part of the church which
for theological reasons want to be a
church of the world.
The right to freedom in the roman
catholic church- the basic right in
a modern word - has undergone
a difficult process of recognition.
This book questions whether
freedom understood as an autonomy
is compatible with the concept
Christian. Does it allow freedom
of conscience and freedom of
autonomy?

Rahner, Karl
Suchla, Peter / Batlogg, Andreas R.
(Ed.)
The prayer of need
Das Gebet der Not
This book contains Rahner‘s small
and often overlooked apologia on
petitionary prayer. He poses clear,
probing questions to God and
to man, and in the light of Jesus
Christ provides his own fascinating
answers. Striving for „so much
light and strength that we continue
to pray ... until God speaks“. A
thought-provoking stimuli for a life
of faith and the current discussion
on petitionary prayer.

Delgado, Mariano /
Sievernich, Michael (Ed.)
The great metaphors of the
Second Vatican Council
Die großen Metaphern des Zweiten
Vatikanischen Konzils
The II Vatican Council redefined
relations between the Roman
Catholic Church and the modern
world. It coined a number of
metaphors: people of God, sign
of the times, church of the poor,
sacrament of salvation. This book
presents these „council metaphors“
and examines their potential to
provide orientation both in the
present and in the future.

Benedict‘s legacy and Francis‘
mission

goodness immediately won over the
hearts of many people and awakened

poor people‘s Cardinal from an
immigrant suburb of Buenos Aires
to the Roman Bishop‘s Throne. A
multi-facetted portrayal of the new
pope.

day in office. His book pays tribute
to this great thinker. He also deals

Extending the horizon of reason
Lost trust
Den Horizont der Vernunft erweitern
Verlorenes Vertrauen
Why they believe what they
believe
Do it like God, become human
Archbishop
Müller
is
wellacquainted with Pope Benedict‘s
theology being a former pupil of
his. Archbishop Müller is editor
of the collected works of the pope
emeritus. This book provides an
overview of the central theological
themes of Benedict XVI in the form
of very readable essays. It is evident
that the subjects that concern the
former pope are of existential
significance to his followers.
Headmaster Klaus Mertes addressed
the issue of child abuse and its coverup in a letter to former Jesuit pupils
in Berlin. The effect of this letter
was dramatic. A painful process
shocked and transformed the
church. Father Mertes reflects on
and analyses the circumstances and
events, as well as presenting new
perspectives for wholesome reforms
within the church.
Warum sie glauben, was sie glauben
Mach‘s wie Gott, werde Mensch
Conflicts often arise as a result of
ignorance or misunderstanding.
What is the driving force behind
other religions, what is their
philosophy?
Bernhard
Uhde
presents central concepts of the
great world religions, which play a
significant role in the spiritual and
cultural dynamics of these religions.
These he presents as seen from the
point of view of their followers.
A new basis for dialogue and
coexistence.
Bishop Franz Kamphaus‘ sermons,
books and meditations attract
people‘s attention, both Christian
and non-Christian. They portray
in a unique way why faith can be
so life-changing. This book is
a compilation of his texts. They
illustrate what faith is all about. The
more space we open up to God, the
better and more humane our world
becomes.

What does it mean to be
catholic?
Paths of friendship with God
Wege der Freundschaft mit Gott
When children ask about God
Wie geht katholisch?
For centuries the most well-known
book in Christendom after the
Bible and Thomas von Kempens‘
„Nachfolge Christi“ was a spiritual
work by St. Franz von Sales:
Introduction to the Devout Life
(Pilothea). It is a practical guide on
spiritual direction and growth in day
to day life. Peter Dyckhoff places
these concepts in a modern context.
Wenn Kinder nach Gott fragen
The catholic faith in particular
is steeped in symbols, rituals
and traditions. In seven times
seven short chapters Julia Knop
explains what faith is about and
how sometimes little signs can be
pointers to something great, if only
you know how to interpret them.
Julia Knop provides an introduction
to the numerous aspects of faith and

Sooner or later children will be
asking questions such as: Where
do we come from? Where were
we before we were born? Why do
we have to die? Where do we go
when we die? Can God hear us
when we pray? Parents often find it
difficult to answer these questions.
This book helps parents discuss such
questions with their children, giving
them confidence in life.

The Jörg Zink book
The Andrea Schwarz book
Margrit Irgang‘s new book describes
her search for the answer to the
central question of Zen teaching:
Who is „I“. She discovers common
features between quantum physics
and Buddhism, writes about
the seasons in nature and tells of
moving encounters with Polish Jews
in Warsaw. A great book for those
seeking to discover for their own
spirituality.
Relationships form a central part
of our lives. In these relationships
we often hurt others or are hurt by
others. Forgiveness means escaping
from the role of victim and being
able to live in the present, not the
past. Melanie Wolfers helps us
deal with feelings of anger, shame
and fear, keeping our eyes focused
clearly on the future. A spiritually
and psychologically empowering
book.
Das Jörg-Zink-Lesebuch

centre of contemporary life. This
book illustrates the power of faith,
of love, of hope and the everlasting
presence of the man from Nazareth
as well as God‘s secret.
Andrea Schwarz is one of the most
popular Christian authors of our
times. What is her secret? What
are her dreams?. Her poems,
contemplations, stories are all
dreams she shares with the reader.
She follows the longing in her life
and discovers a contemporary,
breathtakingly honest language.

Living simply - my weekly ritual
Vital questions on life
The Anselm Grün book
100 spirituelle Tankstellen
Einfach leben - Mein Wochenritual
Lebensfragen
Das Anselm-Grün-Lesebuch
An increasing number of people are
looking for more than relaxation and
entertainment. They spend their
holidays walking pilgrims‘ ways,
fasting in a monasteries or visiting
a city churches. They. embark on a
spiritual search which often opens
doors to a new chapter in their
lives. This book contains 100 of the
most interesting places and events in
German speaking areas.
Live simply - simple rituals help
us attain this goal. Rituals relieve
tension, alleviate time pressures we
face. They create an oasis of peace,
enabling us to relax and refresh our
energy levels. They achieve this
by bringing us back to the here
and now, by helping us relate to
ourselves and making us more aware
of ourselves as individuals. They are
good for body and soul.
Life seems to be more complicated.
Relationships are more fragile.
Pressure is increasing, both on a
private and professional level. How
can we deal with crises and difficult
situations? How can we make sense
of our lives? What should we do?
Anselm Grün provides surprising,
empathetic answers for concrete
situations, opening up a new
perspective on life for us.
Deep knowledge of the spiritual
tradition - and a profound
psychological knowledge. Anselm
Grün with his language that
everybody understands and with
its special sound: serenity and
simplicity, clarity of thought and
understanding: this is the secret of
his success.

Living simply
Selbstwert entwickeln
Darauf vertraue ich
Die heilsame Kraft der inneren Bilder
Einfach leben
Images in our imagination, whether
they originate from the media, our
parents etc., are powerful. They
can be healing, but also destructive.
Anselm Grün helps us identify and
activate the positive images in our
minds and use their healing powers
to guide us towards a productive and
authentic life style.
„Living simply“ means living in
harmony with oneself and the world
around us. Not being dictated to
by outside influences, but being
receptive to what is happening at
the moment. We need to be more
passionate about life and enjoy what
it offers us. We need to find our
own rhythm in life, feel life flowing
through us each day of our lives..
Insecurity, fear of other people
and a feeling of powerlessness in
our modern world are common
problems. In this work Benedictine
pastor Anselm Grün teaches us
how to rebuild our confidence and
combat feelings of helplessness.
Searching for orientation Wolfgang
Huber is guided by key texts from
the Bible, including Psalm 23, the
creed and the ten commandments.
He examines them in the context
of the present day and provides
thought-provoking ideas that give
us stability. His life is defined by
openness and tolerance firmly
rooted in faith. A great book for

Then Mr Right turned up
Osama bin Laden is sleeping
with fishes
We are living longer. Thank you.
But what for?
Euro discipline
Osama bin Laden schläft bei den
Fischen
Wir werden älter. Vielen Dank. Aber
wozu?
Milad Karimi‘s life has always
swayed between two completely
different poles: western popular
culture and Islamic intellectual
history. A childhood spent in
Afghan elite circles and a life on
the edge as an illegal refugee. This
autobiographical book highlights
how diversity has enriched his life
and that „Heimat“ is not bound
to one place. A witty, authentic,
thought-provoking book.
In just two centuries our life
expectation has doubled. What,
however, is the point of living longer
in a society that rewards strength,
speed and permanent stress? Peter
Gross turns the image of age
upside down: Age has a calming,
moderating influence on a society
that drives itself faster and faster and
consumes the foundations on which
life itself is based. Age makes life
wholesome.
Attempts to stabilize the euro seem
never ending. Euro critics are
increasing in number, not just in
Germany. Lars Feld explains how the
economic framework, the structures
of the European Monetary Union
need to be changed to stabilize the
euro short term and keep it stable
in the long term. His book is like a
roadmap towards a strong currency.

Women think a great deal about

whole span of their love life, since
eying up the twelve year old boy
in the class above them. How have
our love relationships affected our
lives? Women between 19 and 76

comical and erotic stories, providing
an intimate insight into women‘s

Dear Sophie!
The euro - a career?
Before it is too late
Sharia - the misunderstood God
Liebe Sophie!
Der Euro - eine Karriere?
Ehe alles zu spät ist
Scharia - der missverstandene Gott
A letter from a father to his twelve
year old daughter on the transition
from childhood to adolescence.
Sometimes anxious, sometimes
funny, sometimes angry, but always
full of affection and trust. A moving
plea to enable a positive and healthy
childhood, unburdened by fear,
anxiety and stress. His aim is to
nurture confidence, curiosity and
independence, leading children to
healthy, balanced lives.
Horst Köhler was instrumental in
setting up the Euro as a common
currency and is a great supporter
of European integration and fair
globalization. To mark Horst
Köhler‘s 70th birthday well-known
economists, authors and politicians
write about the past, present and
future of the European project in
times of globalization and the euro
crisis.
A politician of the old school, in a
situation where some knuckle under
and others don‘t believe Christianity
is going anywhere. Yet our society
is dependent more than ever before
on Christian values. Erwin Teufel
points out where help is needed,
before it is too late. A critical,
positive and passionate book.
The concept of „Sharia“ in
connection with Islam causes
incredible unrest and apprehension.
Mouhanad Khorchide lays the
foundations for a modern ethics of
Islam with the development of his
groundbreaking work on Islamic
Theology („Islam is merciful“), as
well as ongoing critical discussions
on the concept, the history and the
diversity of definitions relating to
Sharia.

Alzheimer and dementia
An appointment with myself
Women love younger men
More life - Why young and old
belong together
Alzheimer und Demenz
Verabredung mit mir selbst
Frauen lieben jüngere Männer
What is meant by Alzheimer and
dementia and how do they differ
from ordinary forgetfulness in old
age? What are the typical symptoms
and what forms of treatment are
there? Isabella Heuser provides a
comprehensible overview of the
various forms of Alzheimer and
dementia: the causes, the symptoms,
the course of the illness and possible
therapies.
A great and inspiring book on
the longing to be alone and at
one with oneself. An existential
challenge furthering inner growth.
Deliberately taking time to step
back, structure solitude and
mature. A fascinating invitation
to gain a deeper knowledge and
understanding of oneself.
People still think it unusual when
women take younger men for their
partners. Ursula Richter‘s book tells
of the experiences of such couples
and the reactions of friends and
society at large. Her conclusion: You
don‘t need an older man to find
happiness. But, it is important to
be aware of the opportunities and
dangers entailed, in order to make
the relationship a success.
Mehr Leben - Warum Jung und Alt
zusammengehören
The older generation can look back
on an abundance of experience
from all stages of their lives. A good
basis for understanding the younger
generation and the emotions and
issues they are tackling. Solidarity
between younger and older
generations goes hand in hand
with solidarity in society and is the
answer to demographic change.

Françoise Hauser ventures in to the
quagmire of applications - deciphers

cryptology of interviews, minutes
the rotating madness of HR
departments. „Would you jump
out of the window for me please?“
A very funny book, revealing the
madness of reality. A book you just
simply have to read.
Stupid bank robbers, unsuccessful
kidnappers, incompetent burglars,
idiotic fraudsters, friendly criminals,
arrogant imposters. Ulrich Magin
has compiled a collection of the
strangest and most incredible
criminal cases. Funnier than the
police allow.
Anne Funk begins a fatal affair. How
to end a love affair, break off a
friendship - these are things she has
learned to deal with. But, shortly
before her 30th birthday she wants
to try something different: A year on
Ibiza - as a kind of tapas - to whet her
appetite for life again.
She is hopelessly in love: Paper
tablecloths artistically spread over
the table. The buzzing of coffee
machines, the ship‘s horn coming
from the Tagus. The woman who
takes her canaries for a walk in a
wooden box. The two old men
having a nap on the park bench.
Sylvia Roth couldn‘t help herself she just had to go to Lisbon.

Premature birth
When children become adults
When the second child is born
Murderously exciting
Frühgeburt
Wenn Kinder erwachsen werden
Wenn das zweite Kind kommt
Mordsmäßig spannend!
Almost every tenth baby is a
premature baby and every 100th
weighs less than 1000g. More than
95% of premature babies develop
into normal healthy children. The
first few weeks can be extremely
challenging and demanding for
parents. This book helps parents
understand the special needs of
premature babies and enables them
to speak competently with medical
staff.
It doesn‘t seem long since they
were small and helpless, then
suddenly they seem to have become
young adults overnight. They are
independent, want to spread their
wings, or they stay at home and
make the most of Hotel Mama.
Either way, they turn their parent‘s
lives upside down. This book helps
parents come to terms with the new
situation.
Changes are inevitable when
families grow. The first child will
now have to share, time, space and
love with its sibling. Parents also
face a completely new situation.
This book addresses the changes
involved, equipping parents to deal
with the new situation, embracing
adjustments with a sense of joy and
excited anticipation.
It is exciting to read detective stories,
but even more exciting to act them
out. Try it with friends or family.
The text outlines the basic plot, each
character is given an individual role
to play. Now comes the exciting part
of asking the right questions and
making the right deductions. Great
fun for group meetings, parties,
camps. The material can also be
downloaded.

My child is starting school
Has our child got AD(H)S?
Autogenous Training for children
Mein Kind kommt in die Schule
Hat unser Kleinkind AD(H)S?
Autogenes Training für Kinder
Most children look forward to
starting school. Parents are often
more apprehensive. How do we
know our child is ready for school?
What needs to be done for the
first day? How do we deal with
homework, learning and behavioral
difficulties or anxiety? Will our child
get to school safely? What do we
need to tell the teachers? A practical
guide for a stress-free school start.
Cordula Neuhaus is a great advocate
of early diagnosis in pediatrics. The
earlier parents learn to understand
and deal with symptoms the better
the bonding with the child. Her
book deals comprehensively with
early recognition of AD(H)S and
ways of dealing with it. An excellent
guide book with numerous practical
examples.
The bustle and hectic rush of a
child‘s day to day life have increased
so much that even children suffer
considerably from stress. They
find it difficult to concentrate, they
develop fears and have problems at
school. Sabine Seyffert has found
a way to help children discover an
inner balance through autogenous
training. An exercise book for
parents and children.
