The church of Jesus Christi
Die Kirche Jesu Christi
Theological perspectives
Theologie im Durchblick
Mediating faith
Glaube in Vermittlung
This book is a multi-faceted description
of the church of Jesus Christ from an
ecumenical perspective. Kasper outlines a
form of Eucharistic communio-ecclesiology.
The church must necessarily be a church
of the present and the future, but it must
remain a church of Jesus Christ, a church
not restricted by values of this world.
The aim of this book is to provide students
of theology with an outline of theological
disciplines and themes. This book follows on
from the “Basic Theology Course” which is
obligatory reading for all catholic students
of theology.

Which ethical position is correct regarding
the discussions on genetics, stem cells
or pre-implantation diagnostics? Why
are people too lethargic to participate in
discussions on these subjects? In the light
of the experience of Christian redemption,
theological ethics encourage us to adopt
moral responsibility in the face of the
threatening social crisis of modern society.

Living relationships
In Beziehung leben
Theological Anthropology deals with the
existence of God’s creatures, man and
woman, with sin and blessing and the
destiny of man to be in communion with
God. Living in relationships is therefore an
essential part of theological anthropology
which is discussed from various perspectives
in this book.

Paul Ricoeur (1913 - 2005) developed
his thoughts in debate with the most
important philosophical developments of
the 20th century, in discussions with great
philosophers of our age, without losing
sight of tradition. Central to his thought
is man, not just who he is, but how we can
speak about him. This book attempts to use
Paul Ricoeur’s inspirational thoughts to
apply theological hermeneutics to man.

Dionysius Areopagita
Faith and culture
Glaube und Kultur
This book illustrates how Catholic theology
conducts inter-religious dialogue with
Judaism and Islam. It provides basic
information on the history, theological
thought and religious practises of both
Judaism and Islam. The authors also
illustrate how religious education can
effectively communicate an understanding
of different religions and cultures.
Dionysius the Areopagite is one of the
most colourful and fascinating figures of
Christianity. The writings ascribed to him
are of a mystical nature and earned him the
title “Father of western mysticism”. Who
was Dionysius? What did he write about?
How was he understood over the centuries?
Beate Regina Suchla presents the results of
her research.

This book examines the connection
between culture and faith. What cultural
conditions allowed Christianity to develop?
How did faith influence and affect cultural
developments. How can contemporary
theology communicate cultural elements of
society to the church whilst at the same time
increasing the awareness of the potential of
Christian faith in resolving contemporary
problems?

The heartbeat of faith
Wo das Herz des Glaubens schlägt
Pope Benedict XVI encouraged an
interdisciplinary
discourse
on
the
relationship between faith and reason

studies, law, Romance studies as well as
Jewish and Moslem traditions.
What is God’s message in the Koran? For Nasr
Hamid Abu Zaid communication between
God and man plays an important role in the
Koran. He examines this communication
from
a
hermeneutic
perspective,
illustrating man’s part in the development,
interpretation and use of God’s word. He
points the way for a more contemporary and
more flexible handling of the Koran.

on his 80th birthday. It examines selected
texts and themes in a context beyond the
New Testament. It is not primarily an innerexegetical discourse, but a conscious step
beyond this. Of particular topical interest

Buddhist and Islamic texts.

Tück, Jan-Heiner (Ed.)
Roman monopoly?
Römisches Monopol?
A paper by the Roman Congregation of the
Doctrine of Faith (2007) has reignited the
discussion on church unity. It questions
whether church communities established
after the Reformation are “churches in the
actual sense” and stresses that the church
of Jesus Christ is possible only in the Roman
Catholic Church. This book examines these
controversial issues.

100 expressive photographs highlighting
memorable moments in history, well-known
personalities, art, architecture, films,

Motherhood is wonderful, but can be
extremely strenuous. The Bible contains
many stories about mothers: would-be
mothers, mothers having a hard time,
mothers who born children late in life.
Margot Käßmann depicts 20 biblical women
- Eva, Mary, Sarah, Lea, Elisabeth etc. and
links their experiences to modern day
mothers. A book mothers can relate to.

Papal decrees on the charitable commitment
of the church are usually concerned with
aims and results. Pope Benedict XVI’s
encyclical “Deus caritas est” addresses the
anthropological and spiritual character of
these helpers for the first time. This book
outlines a new spirituality in charitable
work. The deed rather than the outcome has
priority.
The author who has known Reinhard Marx
for a great many years, draws a fascinating
portrait of the Archbishop of Munich.
He describes his various functions, his
enthusiasm for life, his theological stamp,
his ability to engage with people and
inspire them.
What has shaped the Archbishop of
Freiburg’s character? What issues concern
him most? How does he see his role in the
German Church, between the different
denominations and between Germany and
Rome? Gerhard Kiefer draws a portrait of the
newly appointed, highest representative of
the Catholic Church in Germany.

Darwin’s theory of evolution rocked
prevailing scientific thought. Darwin
introduced the revolutionary idea of
“variation and selection” as opposed to the
then currently held theory of predictability.
Dieter Hattrup expands on Darwin’s theory
of chance and design as essential elements
of nature. He discusses the consequences
for scientists and the Christian concept of
creation.

Motorway churches in Germany
Autobahnkirchen in Deutschland
The Kolping Association was founded in
1849 by the priest Adolph Kolping (18131865) and is now represented in over 50
countries. The author describes the life and
works of Kolping whose concern for fellow
humans and his deep faith were the driving
forces behind all his actions. Kolping’s
committment to supposed losers in an
economic order is still of relevance today.
On the basis of the parable “The feeding
of the five thousand” Reinhold Bärenz
illustrates how care workers can balance
their workload between giving and
receiving to avoid fatigue and exhaustion.
An excellent guide to avoid burn-out and
over-exertion.
50 years ago the first motorway churches
were built, inviting people to break their
journeys to rest, pray and meditate. This
guide presents 32 of these motorway
churches. Information is included on
opening times and other special features.
The guide invites the traveller to have
a break and recharge his batteries with
blessings, prayers and meditations.
Children have no qualms talking about
death, whereas parents often find it very
difficult. This book helps parents talk
openly to children about dying and death.
The author takes up images and concepts
children have about death. He formulates
these concepts into questions and provides
answers from a Christian perspective.

traditional view is not fully convincing and

Masks couples wear
Die Masken der Paare
Live with your heart and soul! It does us
good to experience warmth and affection
in our relationships. We just need to take
the initiative. Our facial expressions, our
gestures and our language all send out
messages. Warmth as an inner attitude
can transform relationships, it does us and
others good. Rediscover that warm feeling
that emanates so much positive energy.
Friendships between women are different
somehow. They say there is more intimacy
between girl friends as opposed to boy
friends. It is true - women are not good
rivals as they would rather be best friends.
Rivalry between women is more subtle,
more guarded, more covert. An exciting and
informative book on your best enemy.
Old Age has a future. Peter Gross, mid-60’s
and Karen Fagetti, early 40’s present a
radical change of perspective to ageing.
Look forward to getting older rather than
looking nostalgically back at one’s youth.
It is important not to wait and see what
happens as we get older, but to take our
lives into our own hands and rediscover life
from a new perspective.
Masks hide all kinds of feelings and emotions
we do not want to expose: fear, jealousy,
disgust, revenge, happiness, sadness,
anger, shame, guilt, love and passion.
Masks hide and protect our vulnerability.
The author examines the game of hide and
seek we play behind our masks. He provides
practical advice on how to peer behind our
own masks.

On thin ice.

Why did you have to die Fidaa?
Warum musstest du sterben, Fidaa
Jürgen Gräser is not an adventurer, he‘s
a scientist. This winter he had to fight
off polar bears whilst collecting data. He
spent a long, cold winter with 20 Russian
colleagues on a drift station in the Artic
Ocean. Jürgen Gräser describes what life
was like on the floe. An exciting report from
the end of the world.
Friederike Weltzien, a vicar in Beirut, is
fascinated by the country she has known
since childhood and outraged at the daily
violence and honorary killings. She fights
against forced marriages and fathers who
force their sons into Dschihad camps.
This book shows great love for a country
torn apart by violence, and is an exciting,
harrowing story of an extraordinary woman.
She is 45 and the love of her life dies. Her
impressive, short, almost poetical texts
describe her grief, her transformation and
her hope. A book full of linguistic lightness,
contextual depth and a great support for all
those grieving the loss of loved ones.

Wholemeal products prevent cancer?
Chocolate makes you happy? Some say
green tea is good for you, some say a glass of
red wine, others say fibres and bio yoghurts
will guarantee you a long and healthy life.
However, the evidence for all these claims
is very shaky, as tests have proved. Kathrin
Burger takes a critical look at so-called
healthy nutrition.

Anne-Ev Ustorf is a child whose parents were
children of the war. Her parents survived
hunger, destruction, flight and fear. This
fear was deeply rooted and was passed on
to their own children. These children, now
adults, find it difficult to set roots. They
are thrifty, insecure and lack confidence. A
generation that grew up in the long shadow
of the war.
Nilgün Ta?man was born in Turkey and grew
up in Germany. She knows all about the
old Turkish traditions of her grandmother

Germany. Her parents struggle to cope with
the two cultures, but Nilgün succeeds in
reconciling both worlds. A touching story

The young Alsatian Eugène Kurtz was
forcibly recruited by the German Wehrmacht
in the summer of 1942. After a failed
attempt at desertion he was interned in
the notorious camp in Schirmeck. He was
sent to the Russian front, deserted, was
arrested and finally returned to his beloved
France. A tragic fate and a true testimony of
humanity.
„Old people live too long and are a strain on
the government coffers“(Karsten Vilmar).
Prejudice fuels aggression, with fatal
consequences. More and more old people
are taking their own lives, unnoticed by the
general public and doctors. These are not
just isolated cases. Christine Swientek put
facts and figures on the table and demands
action.

The art of failure
Die Kunst des erfolgreichen Abstiegs
A guide in etiquette for nonMuslims
Kulturknigge für Nichtmuslime
Choosing to study happiness at
school
Schulfach Glück
Society loves winners. Reality is somewhat
different. The likelihood of failure is much
greater than the likelihood of personal
success. The number of people between 40
and 50 facing the ruins of their careers is
increasing. There is however a third option,
somewhere between a successful career and
failure. This book reveals how we can enjoy
this third option.
A Turkish colleague invites me to a party what do I need to be aware of? What should
I avoid doing? What significance do my
neighbour‘s prayer beads have? What do
I need to consider if I invite my Iranian
friends for a meal? This guide provides
background information for successful
relationships both when travelling abroad
and entertaining at home.
Most children are least happy at the
dentist’s and at school. Headmaster Ernst
Fritz-Schubert decided to change that and
introduced “Happiness” as an advanced
level course to the school curriculum. It
was a tremendous success. Children learned
to solve problems creatively, took on
responsibilities, discovered and developed
new skills and interests. Learning was fun!

Does water belong to the person who sells
it? Does a cup of coffee really require 140
litres of water? Is it true that no water is
wasted in the natural circle of life. The
battle for water has long since started.
This is an important book on the political,
economic and social background.
Are homicidal rampages always spontaneous
and unpremeditated? Are homicidal
maniacs always male? Does media reporting
increase the risk of future rampages? We
are regularly shocked by such attacks. They
are disconcerting and raise many questions.
This book provides information on definition,
background and prevention.
Does fat make you fat? Are our children
too fat? Is wholemeal healthy? What is the
quality of our food like? Nutrition is a much
debated topic. Ulrike Gonder provides us
with the most important facts.
What different kinds of cancer are there?
What are the symptoms? Is cancer
hereditary? Is it a result of bad nutrition?
Do other environmental factors play a vital
role? What about prevention and therapy?
Cancer is widespread in our society;
information that is available is often
confusing and contradictory. Klaus Kayser
clarifies what is true and what is not.

Why Dublin? Who actually speaks Irish?
Where malt vapours waft through the air,
that‘s where I‘ve made my new home. St.
Patrick‘s Day, which has mutated from a
quiet national holiday to a crazy festival,
is an unforgettable experience. Irish
television is unbearable, Irish hospitality
irresistible. What is absolutely impossible
is to speak Irish like a real Dub.
A year in Amsterdam means a mass
picnic in Vondel Park, a visit to a coffee
shop, culinary adventures with Pffertjes,
Pannekoeken, Matjes, Stropwafels and
Snoepm. Houseboats are everywhere - and
when your bicycle gets stolen, well then you
truly belong.
Why do the Chinese always seem so polite?
What should I be aware of if I want to do
business with the Chinese? What do I need
to be mindful of if someone invites me out,
or invites me to their home? An entertaining
journey of discovery for those who want
to find out more about China, either on a
private or business level.
Does Tibet belong to the Tibetans? What role
does the Dalai Lama play today? What does
the future hold? The unrest in Lhasa and the
global protests against China’s treatment
of Tibet draw our attention to a fascinating
country. Tibet past and present - Uli Franz
provides an excellent overview of the most
important facts.

music. This book provides a wide range of
choice for music in kindergarten: balloon
orchestra, songs from other cultures as
well as film and pop music. Unique, wellstructured projects from the world of music
awaken interest in music and develop
creativity and musical skills.
Children will love doing these activities,
which also have a positive influence on
their communication, behavioural and
social skills. Pair and group work reinforce
these key competence areas. The activities
help build up children’s self confidence
and improve their powers of concentration.
They are also great fun!

„I can do that myself!“
“Das kann ich schon selber!”
Children love participating in activities
going on in their surroundings, particularly
imitating things they see their parents do.
Maria Montessori has developed special
exercises on the basis of her observations to
enable children take an active role in their
environment. This is more important than
ever today as children often do not have
those basic skills when they start school.

Waldorf education at a glance
Waldorf-Pädagogik auf einen Blick
Transition from kindergarten to school is
a big event for children and parents. It is
important: that all involved help develop
children’s social and learning skills. It is
essential that kindergartens, schools and
parents work together towards an ideal
transition. Another important factor is the
compatibility of kindergarten and school
curriculums.
This book provides background information
on perception disorders and helps teachers
and parents understand those children
affected. It also provides practical
information on how to support individual
children with slight disabilities. Children
with serious learning difficulties need
special therapeutic help. This book
provides valuable information and contact
addresses.
The author summarises the basic principles
of Waldorf Pedagogy and illustrates how it
is put into practise. He deals particularly
with the subject - how can the targets of the
state educational processes be brought in
line with the concept of Waldorf pedagogy?
