Asketischer Protestantismus und der 'Geist' des modernen Kapitalismus
100 years after the publication of Max Webers famous study The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, the discussion surrounding this work is still very much alive. Scholars engaged in this discussion did not, however, always examine the context of the study, especially the impact of the relationship between Max Weber and Ernst Troeltsch on it. The articles in this volume, the result of a symposium on Weber and Troeltsch, which took place…

Helmut Thielicke und die 'Zeitschrift für Evangelische Ethik'
Friedrich Wilhelm Graf skizziert die Biographie des in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren überaus einflussreichen Hamburger Systematischen Theologen Helmut Thielicke, um dann dessen Aktivitäten zur Gründung einer Zeitschrift für Theologische Ethik zu rekonstruieren. Dabei untersucht er auch Thielickes Kontakte zu dem amerikanischen Theologen Reinhold Niebuhr und zu Paul Tillich. Vorgestellt werden die von Thielicke zunächst in den Blick genommenen Hera…
Die Soziallehren der christlichen Kirchen und Gruppen (1912)
Ernst Troeltsch characterized the Social Teaching of the Christian Churches and Groups as his “favorite book.” Soon after the publication of the first volume of his Collected Works, he began to annotate his personal copy with corrections, additions, and entirely new passages. These extensive supplements, written with a second edition in mind, are now made accessible in a three-volume critical edition with incisive commentary.
Religion und Gesellschaft

Das Buch bietet nun seit langer Zeit wieder eine am aktuellen Diskussionsstand orientierte, schlüssige Auswahl, die von einem renommierten Herausgeber-Duo gekonn…

Fachmenschenfreundschaft
This volume contains studies on two of the most fascinating personalities in the academic world of the 20th century. In their common years in Heidelberg, both Weber and Troeltsch developed a research program in sociology of religion which was devoted to the analysis of the "cultural importance" of religion, in particular Protestant piety. Their common interest in an analytical explanation of religion as vital power ("Lebensmacht"), however, resul…

Weber's Protestant Ethic
The historical relationship between Protestantism, capitalism, and democracy remains one of the most controversial intellectual themes of out time. Max Weber's famous thesis about the link between the 'Protestant ethic' and the 'spirit of capitalism' and its dissolution in his own era has been both widely acclaimed and heatedly disputed since its publication in 1904–5. This volume, the result of an international, interdisciplinary effort, throws …

Ernst Troeltsch
The great German historian Friedrich Meinecke (1862–1954) described Ernst Troeltsch as ‘one of the most outstanding and powerful minds of our time’. Such a comment from a contemporary historian makes it all the more remarkable, as has been recently pointed out, that Troeltsch's work was ‘not taken seriously for nearly forty years’ after his death in 1923. Only lately has interest been reawakened in Troeltsch's complex theological and philosophica…

The German Theological Sources and Protestant Church Politics
In the dispute surrounding The Protestant Ethic in 1907, Max Weber explained that an "objective, fruitful critique" of his investigation of the genetic connection between Protestant asceticism and the spirit of capitalism "is only possible - in this field of endlessly intertwined causal relations - through a mastery of the source material." "Although it may seem to some as an outdated attitude, I expect a critique from the theological sphere to b…

God's Brain. Some Critical Remarkson Modern Neurotheology
The author starts from an observed increase in theoretical contributions to the debate on neurotheology, illustrated by the example of the moral implications of certain discourse types in the novel God's Brain (Johler and Burow). Central scriptural passages of the Judeo-Christian tradition are then interpreted; a crucial shared aspect of these is the implication of an eternal divine memory, the physiological dimension of which has fostered, not j…
