Der Beitrag untersucht und systematisiert die kirchenrechtlichen Perspektiven des Schreibens Samaritanus bonus über die Sorge an Personen in kritischen Phasen und in der Endphase des Lebens. Dabei wird vornehmlich das Ziel verfolgt, die rechtlichen Dimensionen der Seelsorge an Kranken und Sterbenden in der Verkündigung des Wortes Gottes, in der Feier der Sakramente (vornehmlich Beichte, Krankensalbung und Eucharistie) und der Caritas zum Schutz des menschlichen Lebens zu erfassen. Zugleich wird die damit verbundene Frage erörtert, wie kirchliches Recht als solches auf staatliche Gesetze reagieren kann, die darauf abzielen, durch Suizid und Euthanasie ein Recht am oder gegen das Geschenk des Lebens zu legitimieren. The article examines and systematises the canonical perspectives of the letter Samaritanus bonus on the care of persons in the critical and terminal phases of life. The main aim is to grasp the legal dimensions of pastoral care for the sick and dying in the proclamation of the Word of God, in the celebration of the sacraments (primarily confession, extreme unction and Eucharist) and in caritas for the protection of human life. At the same time, the related question of how ecclesiastical law as such can respond to state laws aimed at legitimising a right to or against the gift of life through suicide and euthanasia is discussed.

Resumen: La obra de Martín Lutero asienta sus raíces en factores culturales, sociales y económicos, madurados en la Alta Edad Media, y que hicieron fecundo el terreno para la proclamación, expansión geográfica y desarrollo doctrinal de la Reforma protestante. Atrapado por la palabra de Dios, el doctor de Wittenberg, un hombre de fe sencilla y sincera, descubre un nuevo modo de relacionarse con Dios por la «sola fe», la «sola gracia», y la «sola Scriptura», de cara a la justificación/salvación del ser humano. Este singular hallazgo desbanca la doctrina de la iglesia católica medieval, el papa y jerarquías eclesiásticas, indulgencias, reliquias y santos, celibato y vida monástica. Lutero, asimismo, con la fuerza de su palabra abre un horizonte de libertad sobre la vida humana y la sociedad, un nuevo modo de acceder al mundo y a la sociedad, que orientará la trayectoria de la época moderna y del hombre de nuestros días.Palabras clave: Lutero, fe, palabra de Dios, justificación/salvación, Reforma protestante, libertad, mundo moderno.Abstract: Martin Luther’s work was rooted in cultural, social and economic factors, reached maturity in the High Middle Ages, and provided fertile ground for the proclamation, geographical expansion and doctrinal development of the Protestant Reformation. Trapped by the word of God, Luther, a man of simple and sincere faith, discovered a new way of relating to God by sola fide, sola gratia, and sola Scriptura, faced with the justification/salvation of the human being. This unique discovery defeated the doctrine of the medieval Catholic church, the pope and ecclesiastical hierarchies, indulgences, relics and saints, celibacy and monastic life. Like wise, Luther through the strength of his Word opened up a horizon of freedom for human life and society, a new way of accessing the world and society, which would guide the trajectory taken by humans and modernity to this day.Key words: Luther, faith, the word of God, justification/salvation, Protestant Reformation, freedom, modern world.

The teachings of Sufism is a heresy that led to the decline of Muslims. But the reality proves that al-Quran as a guide to human life not only speaks to the human intellect alone, but also to his heart. If the Koran is only understood through reason, there will be a spiritual drought in the Shari'ah. If the Koran is only understood through a careful approach course there will be inbalance in shari'ah. The mystics with a popular interpretation to the term interpretation isyari try to capture the messages of God in Sufi words (isyari). One among many is traveller Sufi Ibn 'Arabi. Ibn 'Arabi tried to understand the word of God as a whole and integral. In addition, he also includes figures who gave birth to the Sufi teachings are considered controversial in the history of intellectual Islam thatis wahdat al-wujud (Existence in Unity). With the known mode of interpretation of Ibn 'Arabi, it can also be shown that the method used in Ibn' Arabi in interpreting the Koran and how the validity of the teachings of Ibn 'Arabi as a result of the interpretation of the Koran.

Undoubtedly, the deep pain associated with mitochondrial disease tempts suffering families to grasp at any scientific solution that promises hope. Yet the high stakes do not justify mitochondrial replacement. While biotechnology allows scientists to reconstruct embryos, the serious ethical concerns surrounding this procedure negate its liceity. The gift of human life and its inestimable and irreplaceable value are reduced to a person’s utility as components of a manufactured product. Additionally, the sexual union between a married couple is denied its nature of exclusivity. Finally, those most vulnerable face possible exploitation and experimentation: poverty-stricken women who seek recompense for their sex genes, and preborn children who face the unknown ramifications of germ-line alteration. While compassion drives us to find a remedy for mitochondrial disease, strong evidence suggests that mitochondrial replacement therapy fails to meet this need.

This chapter explores how birth bears on the temporality of human life. Temporally, lived human existence is future-oriented towards death and past-oriented towards birth. When we take our natal orientation towards the past into account, we see that when we project forward and create meaning we are always extending inherited horizons that we have received in and from the past. The chapter also considers whether birth can rightly be said to be a gift given to us by our mothers. Although that view has problems, thinking of birth as a gift illuminates some connections between our natality and the relational setting of our ethical lives and obligations. Finally, the chapter sums up the book’s main theses about how human existence is shaped by the fact that we are born.

AbstractChurch and Ecclesiastical Law in German language and beyond. Searching for sense in human life, already in prehistoric times, men developed religious notions. Jesus (Christ), born at Bethlehem about 2020 years ago, declared himself to be the unique son of god Jahwe and was therefore crucified by Romans and Jews at Jerusalem. Nevertheless billions of men and women believed in his miraculous resurrection and his sacrifice for the salvation of mankind – among them almost every individual speaking German. The study shows how the Christian term ‘church’, derived from Greek kyrios (master), was adopted and spread in old German languages. Various parts of human law in general, which were and are influenced by Christian thought, were analyzed from the very beginning of the church within the Roman empire, and they were followed up to the global presence.
