This article concerns itself with the shifts in approach taking place within systematic theology. In the field, there is a tendency to move away from all-encompassing systems towards a more restricted treatment of particular issues and their ambiguity. The article deals with the writings of one of the representatives of this development from German speaking scholarship, Hartmut Rosenau, a Lutheran theologian. By grounding his theology in the Biblical wisdom tradition, Rosenau questions the significance of tradition and eschatology, focusing on the value of everyday-life as it is described in the Old Testament and the Lutheran doctrine on justification by faith.

Abstract Foreign language didactics is committed to teach the variety of language that is actually used in everyday life. In this article, we study possibilities of working with authentic German dialogues in teaching contexts of German as a Foreign Language. By focusing on regional and national varieties of German in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we examine current textbooks that claim to follow a pluricentric approach and show how they deal with the fact that spoken German is not a homogenous variety. The analysis of the teaching material reveals the problems, that working with artificial dialogues entail under a pluricentric perspective, including phonetics, prosody, lexis, grammatical and interactional structures. Thus, we plead for the use of authentic dialogues in order to create awareness for a pluricentric view on language among students of German as a Foreign Language. Especially for learners, who plan to spend time in a German-speaking country, the work with authentic dialogues from a certain geographical region can have a highly motivating effect as they learn to understand native speakers in their everyday talk. To this end, we present a database that provides audio material in the different national varieties of spoken German, which can be used for didactic purposes in the foreign language classroom.SamenvattingDe vreemdetalendidactiek streeft ernaar om die taalvariëteit aan te leren die in het alledaagse leven wordt gebruikt. In dit artikel gaan we na welke mogelijkheden er zijn om met authentieke Duitse dialogen te werken in een onderwijscontext van het Duits als Vreemde Taal. Met een focus op de regionale en nationale variëteiten van het Duits in Duitsland, Oostenrijk en Zwitserland onderzoeken we recente tekstboeken die een pluricentrische benadering beweren te volgen en we laten zien hoe ze omgaan met het feit dat gesproken Duits geen homogene variëteit is. De analyse van het onderwijsmateriaal brengt enkele problemen aan het licht die het werken met artificiële dialogen vanuit een polycentrisch perspectief met zich meebrengt, waaronder fonetiek, prosodie, woordenschat, grammaticale en interactieve structuren. We pleiten dus voor het gebruik van authentieke dialogen om studenten Duits als Vreemde Taal bewust te maken van een pluricentrische kijk op taal. In het bijzonder voor leerders die van plan zijn om enige tijd in een Duitstalig land door te brengen, kan het werken met authentieke dialogen uit een welbepaalde geografische regio bijzonder motiverend zijn omdat ze zo de alledaagse taal van native speakers leren begrijpen. We stellen ook een database voor waar audiomateriaal in verschillende nationale varieteiten van gesproken Duits te vinden is, dat voor didactische doeleinden kan worden gebruikt in de vreemde talenklas.

Abstract Background Families living in poor socio-economic circumstances, already confronted with social and health inequalities, are often not reached by family-based addiction prevention services. Besides quantitative models and health literacy approaches, qualitative research is lacking that could shed light on the exact circumstances and processes that lead to hindered addiction prevention service uptake by these families. Drawing on the concept of candidacy, we therefore reconstructed how socio-economically deprived parents and their (pre) adolescent children in the German-speaking part of Switzerland (non-)identified their candidacy for family-based addiction prevention services. Methods Following grounded theory, we collected and analysed data in an iterative-cyclical manner using theoretical sampling and theoretical coding techniques. Sixteen families with children aged 10–14 years were interviewed in depth (parent/s and child separately). All but one family lived below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold. Results Socio-economically deprived families’ modes of recognizing and handling problems in everyday life were found to be core phenomena that structure the process towards (non) identification of candidacy for family-based addiction prevention services. Four modes anchored within socio-demographic resources were found: Families with mode A perceived their current life situation as existentially threatening and focused daily coping on the main pressing problem. Others (mode B) perceived prevalent multiple problems as normal (now); problems were normalized, often not recognized as such. In mode C families, problems were pragmatically recognized at a low threshold and pragmatically dealt with, mostly within the family. In mode D families, problems were constantly produced and dealt with early by the worried and anxious parents monitoring their child. From modes D to A, vulnerability increased concerning non-identification of candidacy for family-based addiction prevention services. Further, thematic relevance of addiction prevention, past experience with offers, integration in systems of assistance, strategies to protect the family, and families’ search for information influenced whether identification of candidacy took place. Conclusions Socio-economically deprived families differ in modes of problem construction and handling in everyday life; this differently opens up or closes routes to family-based addiction prevention. Addiction prevention practice should build on a bundle of diverse strategies for outreach to these families, stressing especially interventions on the structural and environmental level.

scholarly journals 'Who is wise and understanding among you' (James 3: 13)? An analysis of wisdom, eschatology and apocalypticism in the epistle of James

The Relationship

Three questions form the basis of this analysis of the relationship of the Epistle of James to the traditions of wisdom, eschatology and apocalypticism. What kind of traditions are involved in James? What is the world view of James? What audience or community is presupposed by this writing? Foremost is the connection that James demonstrates to the wisdom tradition evident in the Old Testament and extratestamental literature. In particular two types of wisdom tradition are noted in James: practical wisdom advice as expressed in short sayings, wisdom instructions and admonitions and reflection on the nature of wisdom (1:5-8; 2:1-7; and 3:13-18) as coming from God. Finally, the question of how much apocalyptic symbolism is evident in the eschatological world view of the epistle is addressed.

Scholarly analysis of biblical interpretation and commentary in the history of Christianity has become an important subfield in history as well as biblical studies and theology. From the Reformation and into the modern era, Martin Luther has been appreciated first of all as an expositor of the Bible and a confessor of its teachings. His vocation as a theologian called to teach in the University of Wittenberg was especially focused on the exposition of scripture, and his development as a theologian and eventually as an evangelical reformer was deeply tied to his experience in interpreting the Bible in his university classroom, in the Augustinian cloister, and in his household. His interpretation of scripture was the basis of his “Reformation discovery” of justification by faith, and his conflict with the papal church was largely the result of Luther’s conviction that the message of scripture, in particular “the gospel,” was being overwhelmed in the theology and churchly practice of his time by “human teachings” not supported by and contradicting scripture. As a result, Luther and other evangelical reformers of the 16th century appealed to scripture alone (sola scriptura) as the highest authority in shaping their theology and proposals for reform. Luther’s teachings and leadership in the Reformation were shared and celebrated not only through his doctrinal and polemical treatises and catechetical writings, but also through the many sermons, biblical commentaries on both Old and New Testament books, and prefaces on the books of the Bible that were published in his lifetime and thereafter. Old Testament commentary was an especially important genre of Luther’s published works, as it encapsulated much of his work as a university professor of theology and evangelical reformer.

While both the Gospels of Matthew and Luke narrate the story of the Nativity, only Luke’s account provides the unique details of the inn, manger, swaddling cloths, and shepherds. In the earliest tradition, an ox and ass become incorporated into the scene, though they are not mentioned in Luke 2:1–20. Each one of these elements presents historical aspects which the original Greco-Roman and Jewish audiences would be familiar with as part of everyday life. They all also convey important symbolism, alluding to various Old Testament passages that signify the theological meaning of the birth of this infant as the Davidic Messiah. Luke’s literary skill demands that each element be considered carefully in terms of its context and relevance to the account. Artistic depictions of the inn, manger, swaddling cloths, shepherds, and animals offer some intriguing interpretations of these elements.

The theme is taken for this Jubilee is "Compassionate like God - Like the Merciful Father" (Lk 6:36).God is essentially show mercy, even declared himself the Almighty through His mercy. We must realize that God's mercy was not a sign of weakness, but a sign of power. Since the Old Testament, God invites each individual to reflect on his mercy, as proclaimed by the prophet Zephaniah. God has to get rid of the punishment that fell upon His people (Zephaniah 3:15). God is also present in the midst of His people (Zephaniah 3:17) expressed his compassion and solidarity. Moreover, God refurbish the people with His love (Zephaniah 3:17). God's mercy is transformed and entered into the history of mankind, in the person of Jesus Christ. He is the perfect face of God's mercy. Finally, everyone is called to show the face of the compassion of God through everyday life. God's love is so great that it revealed first of the works of creation. His love for man revealed in action by creating the universe and it is all provided for humans. Because after all there (the earth and its contents) God created man in the image of Himself.
