This history of Protestant pastoral counseling in America examines the role of pastoral counselors in the construction and articulation of a liberal moral sensibility. Analyzing the relationship between religion and science in the twentieth century, Susan E. Myers-Shirk locates this sensibility in the counselors’ intellectual engagement with the psychological sciences. Informed by the principles of psychology and psychoanalysis, pastoral counselors sought a middle ground between science and Christianity in advising anxious parishioners who sought their help for personal problems such as troubled children, violent spouses, and alcohol and drug abuse. Myers-Shirk finds that gender relations account in part for the great divide between the liberal and conservative moral sensibilities in pastoral counseling. She demonstrates that, as some pastoral counselors began to advocate women’s equality, conservative Christian counselors emerged, denouncing more liberal pastoral counselors and secular psychologists for disregarding biblical teachings. From there, the two sides diverged dramatically. Helping the Good Shepherd will appeal to scholars of American religious history, the history of psychology, gender studies, and American history. For those practicing and teaching pastoral counseling, it offers historical insights into the field.

Dieses Buch untersucht die Wirkungsweisen von Rechtspraktiken in religiösen Organisationen anhand der Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast im Ghana der 1950er-Jahre. Empirische Grundlage sind bisher unerforschte, von lokalen christlichen Mitarbeitern verfasste Protokollbücher der Sitzungen von Ältestenräten - der Basis der Kirchenhierarchie. Die Fallanalysen zeigen diese als reichhaltige Dokumente afrikanischer Religions- und Alltagsgeschichte und arbeiten ein Set von Rechtspraktiken heraus. In der Abstraktion vom konkreten Geschehen wird deutlich, dass diese Praktiken für eine religiöse Organisation die Funktion haben, die Relevanz und Wirksamkeit des eigenen Selbstverständnisses im Angesicht parallel wirksamer und konkurrierender normativer Ordnungen und Episteme in der Lebenswelt zu stabilisieren und plausibel zu machen. Anne Beutter bezieht die Ergebnisse auf rechthistorische Überlegungen zurück und entwickelt so das Verhältnis von Recht und Religion analytisch für die Religionswissenschaft weiter.

"Who is the biblical Jesus? The answer depends on which translation you read. Most people read their Bible translation as "the Bible". Publishers of the Bible have great power to define the Bible and decide how the biblical Jesus is presented. Jesus i oversettelse is a detailed analysis of the translation processes behind the making of eighteen Christological verses in the translations of the Norwegian Bible Society 1959-2011. Readers are invited to a process that few have access to: How the translations are made, and what considerations and which interests are reflected in the translation choices. To what extent do the translators ensure a distinct understanding of Jesus in the translated text? Do the translations change the meaning and message of the source text, or do the translations preserve the interpretative possibilities? What view of Jesus is reflected in translations of the Norwegian Bible Society?.

Although over eighty percent of the country is Muslim, Indonesia is marked by an extraordinary diversity in language, ancestry, culture, religion and ways of life. This book focuses on the Christian Dani of West Papua, providing a social and ethnographic history of the most important indigenous population in the troubled province. It presents a fascinating overview of the Dani's conversion to Christianity, examining the social, religious and political uses to which they have put their new religion. Based on independent research carried out over many years among the Dani people, the book provides an abundance of new material on religious and political events in West Papua. Underlining the heart of Christian-Muslim rivalries, the book questions the fate of religion in late-modern times.
