This volume (based on Loris Sturlese's liturgical ordering) contains the vernacular texts and English translations of 56 of Eckhart's German sermons, which can be linked with the cycle of preaching during the liturgical year on the Saints and other occasions (De sanctis). It is the second volume, following ETS 9 (De tempore), and gives us Eckhart's preaching in literary form. The corpus of sermons that have been relocated into their liturgical place are taken from the critical edition of Kohlhammer to which was added a new English translation (for some of the sermons the first so in English). It opens a door to students and interested readers into the world of Eckhart's liturgical preaching, helped by a thorough general introduction on the topic of sainthood, short prefaces to all homilies and notes.

12 Predigten des Jahres 2015 aus dem Havelberger Dom (Altmark) gehen der Frage nach, wie das Wort Erkenntnis in der Gegenwart gepredigt werden kann. Die Bibel bietet dazu viele Bezugspunkte. Die Bundesgartenschau 2015, die an 5 Standorten im Havelland stattfand, gab jedem Standort eine Überschrift. Erkenntnis stand für Havelberg. Der Dom steht für den Bischofssitz bis zur Reformation. Also lud die evangelische Kirchengemeinde Havelberg evangelische Bischöfe ein, zur Erkenntnis zu predigen. Es war eine sehr bereichernde Erfahrung zu hören, aus wie vielen Perspektiven und Textabschnitten des Alten und Neuen Testamentes Erkenntnisse unser Leben heute betreffen können. Das vorliegende Buch ist das Ergebnis dieser Predigtreihe. In ihm lesen Sie u.a. die Predigten von Bischof Dr. Markus Dröge (Berlin), Prof. Dr. Margot Käßmann und Landesbischöfin Ilse Junkermann (Magdeburg).

What did German preachers opposed to Hitler say in their Sunday sermons? When the truth of Christ could cost a pastor his life, what words encouraged and challenged him and his congregation? This book answers those questions.Preaching in Hitler's Shadow begins with a fascinating look at Christian life inside the Third Reich, giving readers a real sense of the danger that pastors faced every time they went into the pulpit. Dean Stroud pays special attention to the role that language played in the battle over the German soul, pointing out the use of Christian language in opposition to Nazi rhetoric.The second part of the book presents thirteen well-translated sermons by various select preachers, including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, and others not as well known but no less courageous. A running commentary offers cultural and historical insights, and each sermon is preceded by a short biography of the preacher.

In the spring of 1935 Dietrich Bonhoeffer returned from England to direct a small illegal seminary for the Confessing Church. The seminary existed for two years before the Gestapo ordered it closed in August 1937. The two years of Finkenwalde's existence produced some of Bonhoeffer's most significant theological work as he prepared these young seminarians for the turbulence and risk of parish ministry in the Confessing Church. Bonhoeffer and his seminarians were under Gestapo surveillance; some of them were arrested and imprisoned. Throughout, he remained dedicated to training them for the ministry and its challenges in a difficult time. This volume includes Bible studies, sermons, and lectures on homiletics, pastoral care, and catechesis, giving a moving and up-close portrait of the Confessing Church in these crucial yearsthe same period during which Bonhoeffer wrote his classics, Discipleship and Life Together. The complete Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works set is now available in hardcover!
